I loved my experience here ! The food is amazing and the service is great!
I came here for brunch with my friends and we had a really great experience overall. The food was absolutely delicious—everything we tried was flavorful, fresh, and very well prepared. You can really tell they put effort into the quality and presentation. The place is beautiful and has a nice atmosphere, although it is quite small, so it can feel a bit crowded, especially during busy brunch hours. The buffet is on the pricier side at $35 per person (plus taxes), and drinks are not included, which adds up. That said, I do think it’s worth it for the quality of the food. One thing that could definitely be improved is the service speed. The staff are very kind and friendly, but the system is a bit slow since you can’t serve yourself—someone serves you, which creates long lines and waiting times. Overall, despite a few downsides, I would still recommend this place for a tasty and enjoyable brunch experience!
We were 4 people and all disappointed from the whole experience. It started when a couple leaving the restaurant wished us “Good Luck” and we soon found out why… Although the restaurant has a charming warm atmosphere service was at a turtle pace and inadequate. The restaurant had only a few occupied tables, and it was slowwww! Drinks took over 40-45 minutes to arrive and I had to nudge, but they were at least, very good ( it’s the only thing that was). We ordered Nacho appetizers they were also good but the shrimp and calamari were from a frozen box nothing Mexican about them…. Next! Afterwards it was a disaster ! We got there at 8:15 and our food arrived after 10 pm all 4 dishes were lukewarm and mediocre at best. Not at all what we expected, nothing Authentic about them. Don’t bother going to this place there are much better Mexican restaurants in the city that won’t waste your time and money. Sorry guys but you need to UP your game!
Service was ok but very slow. Not sure if it's because they are lacking staff or something else. The restaurant was not even full. Only one server was serving all the 6 tables.
Best food experience I have had in mtl to date! Would recommend to anyone!!!
I was very excited to try this restaurant because the decor was beautiful and I'm a huge fan of authentic Mexican food, which is what I thought I was going to get. Instead, I got an extremely plain and simple "dish" with every part lacking seasoning. I ordered the Pescadilla which was advertised as a fried taco dish, I was expecting a nice saucy quesadilla with some cheese and vegetable toppings. But the dish itself was plain white fish inside plain corn tortillas. With plain lettuce thrown on top and a bit of white cheese. Even the sauce on the side was a plain tomato type sauce that didnt even have spice. I was very confused as I see no universe in which this can be called "authentic" mexican food. My partner also ordered the Fajita which only came with 2 tortillas along with a skillet of fajita filling and some sides, the beans and rice sides literally had no salt on them, just plain black beans. This was a very disappointing and confusing experience and although I expect the cocktails must be good/a selling point, I won't be coming back to try them.
Molded chocolate doughnuts; a young guy came to explain that it is unimportant issue (maybe) & no corrective action taken. Food with no taste
I love it, the food is amazing
Absolutely delicious and overall beautiful place
The service was amazing; for the first time, I felt like the match Mexican service. The food was great and endless — I loved that.
I really loved it. The place was super comfortable, the buffet was very tasty, with a very varied menu and truly Mexican dishes, and the service was excellent as well. They were very kind and attentive. I definitely have to go back.
loved the service form the waitresses and the food, amazing experience and super recommended 🥰
Extremely disappointing experience. Reserved a large group for a birthday brunch. Arrived at noon to find a locked door, were finally let in after a few minutes of knocking. Staff seemed disinterested in providing us any information nor did they seem prepared for us or any other guests. Server was completely uninformed about the menu and drink options and appeared to be inexperienced and overwhelmed by a single table. The only option was a buffet. After being seated at 12 the buffet was not ready until almost 1pm. Once it opened they only had a single staff member serving and the line was 15-20 people long at all times with a 20+ minute wait to finally be served. What was meant to be a fun birthday brunch turned in to a long wait, overpriced food, and god awful service. Bills came and it was time for more confusion as they needed to be reprinted several times to account for erroneous items. Would not return, would not recommend and would not force this place on my worst enemy.
Service is very slow. Food is mid, I asked for my asada steak medium rare and it came to me basically like shoe rubber. Originally I wanted tacos and rice but they dont come with rice, so the waitress suggested this plate because she said I can "build my taco" but no it was basically a steak platter, no tortillas came with it. So I was a little disappointed because I really wanted tacos. Not once did the waitress come to see if everything was okay with our food, I would have complained about my steak before hand but I couldn't. When we finished our plates, we waited a long time and we had to call her to get her to take our plates and ask for my dessert and bills. The tres leches cake was good though.... I am pleased that they didnt charge me for my plate, but Mexican food is my favorite and I was very disappointed. Unfortunately I will not be returning to this restaurant again.
Finally, a Mexican restaurant in Montreal that goes beyond tacos and celebrates the traditional cuisine - beautifully executed, elaborate dishes like moles, molcajete, and chiles en nogada, the kind of food that is so hard to find done right. The drink selection is solid mezcal offering and cocktails that go well beyond basic margaritas. Service is outstanding: attentive, quick, offered in three languages. The ambiance is the perfect balance of authentic Mexican vibe without trying too hard. No unnecessary sophistication, just genuinely flavorful, carefully prepared food served in a warm, inviting setting. A place you come to enjoy real Mexican cuisine, not a simplified version of it.
Real authentic food
Pros: Beautiful ambience and decor, good service, great selection of Mexican dishes some of which would be hard to find anywhere else. Cons: It is of course the food why we came to this place. We really wanted to try Chile en nugada especially after reading the novel “Like Water for Chocolate”. And what a disappointment when it was served lukewarm. Asked the server and he said it was normal as they did not want us to burn ourselves. Yet the molcajete came extremely hot as expected! Also Chile en nugada came without pomegranate seeds which is a must in this recipe. Budget cuts? And the molcajete mixte which costs $75 also speaks of budget cuts. It was missing the promised grilled cheese and nopales and had only a small quantity of beef, only 3 small tiger shrimps. It did have some cheap filler that looked like potato flautas. Overall impression: mixed feelings, unsure if would come back.
As a Mexican, discovering this place made me proud. From the decor to the service, everything reflects authentic Mexican culture. I went to brunch (must try ) with my partner and we were really happy to see our culture and gastronomy represented with such care and respect. Paisanos, let’s support places like this!
Beautiful place to share with your friends or family, unfortunately the buffet is very small of options, the egg they gave me was cold, the chicharron in sauce was good but the sauce was very liquid, the ranchero beans are the same, rich but a lot of broth, the chilaquiles flat nor did I want to try them, the quesadillas were very watered, in short, the food has a 6 out of 10... and it was very strange for me that in the buffet service they served you was not much amount, asking if that's enough and the dishes were running out and they were late in filling, whenever I went to a buffet, I take what I want and as much as I want.
I don’t know who give them 5 stars , we just came from this place , 4 peoples for brunch . Overpriced place . Says a buffet , but was nothing to eat , everything is cold , sweet chicken , no posole , service too long , I took frites but wasn’t ketchup, Beautiful restaurant decor . . However, the service was slow and a little confused, but the servers ok. I think those people never visit buffet choice because what they propose cost not more then 12$ . Very disappointed with menu ( absolutely different from picture ) and prices .Never come again and don’t conseil to my friends . Wasting money ..
As a Mexican I had great expectations about this brunch especially because I’ve been here for dinner 3 times. Honestly this brunch does not worth 35CAD. They basically offer you tacos dorados (fried tacos), enchiladas, pozole and eggs… If this place is run by a Mexican they should know that they need desperately offer: fruit, juice, unlimited coffee, bread, and more options for food. There are plenty of options that could be offered apart from their very sad eggs. I would recommend this place for dinner and nice drinks, but their brunch is basically made of tacos dorados and eggs. All other stuff are sides! :( so sad our experience was this bad. I hope the owner can take a look at this and make sure local people get a real Mexican experience because our breakfasts/brunchs are much more than this.
Amazing Ambience, delicious food and great service! ✨
A cocktail place i guess? Clearly not a “food” place as the dishes were pretty mid. The tacos dorados were basic and the Mixto Molcajete shared 70$ plate had too many fried things and not enough vegetables considering there were supposed to be some (there was guacamole and beans but that’s the bare minimum). Not worth it at all considering the price. The atmosphere is nice but that is pretty much it. The service took forever.
great service, great good
