La Cantina arrives at the Tequila Lounge

La Cantina arrives at the Tequila Lounge

Quebec, Wednesday April 14, 2021 - Atención amigos y amigas, La Cantina arrives at the Tequila Lounge with its typically Mexican street food, both spicy and adapted to the taste buds of Quebecers. Many passers-by enjoying the good weather on St-Joseph Street can stop at the window of the Tequila Lounge to order a finger food type meal to enjoy in the surrounding streets and parks. It's a date now and for the whole summer!

Festive atmosphere, mercado music, exploded menu… everything is there to be transported to the colorful alleys of Mexico City, where it all began for the young entrepreneurs of the Tequila Lounge: “It's a homecoming for Carolina and me , because we opened our first street canteen a few years ago in Mexico City, explains Ariane Robitaille, co-owner of the Tequila Lounge. This street stand even allowed us to pay for our wedding in Mexico and we were inspired to open the Tequila Lounge. With La Cantina, we can continue to do what we love the most in the world: introduce people from here to the magnificent Mexican culture through its authentic dishes, all with pleasure and respect for sanitary measures. "

Open from Friday to Sunday, between 12 p.m. and 7 p.m., La Cantina at the Tequila Lounge offers essential Mexican street food, homemade by a team of passionate people. Through the restaurant window, a variety of banderillas (Mexican pogos) are served, garnished with cheese as tradition dictates or with your choice of garnish such as chili con carne, choriqueso and mac and cheese. Also among the must, pizza boxes… filled with decadent tacos pimped to perfection, with a vegetarian option. Fancy a sweet snack? The churros puffs topped with chocolate coulis and dulce de leche are to die for! To accompany it all, micheladas and refreshing mocktails are meaningless!

About Tequila Lounge

The Tequila Lounge restaurant was born out of Ariane Robitaille and Carolina Barona Escobar's passion for Mexico.
