Opens Sundays at 11:30 but at 12:37 still closed. Does not update their opening hours. Update: Changed my answer based on the thoughtful reply by owner below. Notes: we did see a "No brunch available for the next 3 weeks" sign when we arrived but it didn't say which weeks, and we weren't really going for brunch/we didn't know this was an brunch-only venue. Maybe just put up a sign that reads something like "Restaurant not open from this to that day during X hours" and ensure your google maps opening hours are reflected. We would have been understanding.

The el jefe tacos are extraordinary! They’re so smoky and flavourful. Moreover, the octopus appetizer with veggies is amazing too.

Excellent food, great staff and fun atmosphere. I tried the steak quesadilla and the octopus tacos... Both very tasty and cooked to perfection! The green spicy sauce they bring is out of this world! I also recommend the classic mojito! Friendly ambiance suitable to bring a date or just to hang out with friends. Will be coming back for sure.

Incredible service!!! The food was delicious, just like being back in Mexico, generous portions, lots of flavors, more than reasonably priced. Yummo!

When I saw “20$ brunch, drink included” I assumed it would be a light brunch… but I had to take away leftovers because it was so much! Perfect location, perfect small cute plateau corner spot. Go, enjoy ☺️ (I ordered “chilaquiles farcis au fromage”)

We were originally planning to eat at another restaurant on Mount Royal, but the lineup was huge. After parking, we noticed this place and decided to give it a try instead. We’re so glad we did. The menu is simple, the food is authentic and absolutely delicious, the prices are very fair, and the portions are huge. Our server was also fantastic and made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back. This place is top-notch and was an awesome surprise.

Absolutely amazing. We were heading somewhere else but there was a line and saw this place when we parked. We came back it was the perfect brunch. The menu and pricing is straightforward, the food is authentic and the portions are satisfying. Our service was very friendly and upbeat. Top notch place!

Everything was amazing, we had the chicken quesadilla and the ribs tacos. The cocktails were also fantastic. Definitely will be going again, and will try the dessert next time

Hands down one of the best Mexican food experiences I have ever had in Montreal. They have good-quality drinks too. The portion sizes are massive and the ambience is great. Will recommend this 10/10. Tried their chicken tacos and quesadillas!! Burrito was filling too. Their spicy sauce is actually SPICY. So be careful ;)

Enjoy authentic Mexican food without leaving Mexico - La Selva. The prices aren't high; the main course, Taco Jefe, is around $20, offering high-end Western cuisine with a layered and delicious flavor profile. The restaurant's Nachos are always better than packaged snacks, especially with the perfect dipping sauce – delicious!
