Been here twice now and this place never misses. The food is incredible—easily one of the best Mexican spots in Montreal. The drinks are authentic and delicious, and the service is fantastic and super fast. I’ll definitely be back. The deep-fried brisket tacos and the ceviche are a must-try!

My husband and I had the pleasure of hosting our wedding reception at La Cantina, and it was truly one of the best experiences of our lives. The food was delicious, flavorful, and served in generous portions. As for the drinks, their cocktails are easily some of the best I’ve ever had in Montreal! ​The staff did an incredible job managing our many guests; everyone kept telling us how amazing the food was and how attentive and present the team remained throughout the night. A huge thank you to Moni and the entire team for giving us the opportunity to celebrate our union in such a beautiful setting. I recommend this place 100% for events, parties, or even just a dinner out, it is so good that every visit is worth it!

To be honest after reminiscing on this recent experience i felt compelled to write this review as it left just as bad an impression as taste in my mouth. I went to this restaurant a while ago and left a decent impression with a small group of friends. Upon returning with another to this restaurant I was left very disappointed in the way this restaurant went downhill in my opinion. First of all I found the server to be disengaged with the attentive service given to my table where the water was not given until the meal was almost finished and the limes i asked for when the meal arrived showed up shortly after the tacos were finished. I also found the guacamole dip was bland and nachos were whatever and quite expensive for what it was at $19.00 additionally there were no complementary nacos and salsa given which from what I remembered were given the first time i went here. Then lastly the brisket tacos were soggy and tasted and smelled slightly off but didn't think too much about it. Until I woke with slight stomach pains in the middle of the night. Thankfully it passed, however I now link the oddly tasting tacos to the stomach pains and burps of that slightly odd tasting taco and meat. I found that for what this place is save your money and the risk of feeling or getting ill, it's overly priced and there are better quality taco spots around than this in Montréal. Craziest thing of all the restaurant wasn't even that busy.

Food was fantastic, I highly recommend the deep fried chicken tacos or the Al pastor. Both were phenomenally made and the portions are good size. I left feeling full and happy! The vibe is nothing to rave about. It’s a fun looking bar but compared to other restaurants in Montreal, the atmosphere is nothing special. They also have great specials like happy hour and weekend tequila shots for only $3. Our server was very kind and the food came out correct and warm! Check it out - it was worth the stop!

The food was good, but the tacos were missing a bit of seasoning. The server was polite and friendly, but we had to wait like 10 minutes before being seated (the restaurant was empty) because she was talking in the back; nonetheless I will still recommend.

Good food and a nice time! Visit on Fri/Sat evenings for their 3$ tequila shots. Highly recommend their cauliflower and chickpea tacos that are vegetarian and gluten-free. The shredded chicken fried taco was also good.
