“Imagine going back to your hometown after a while and going to your grandparents. That is El Amigo in a nutshell

Reservation by phone. On location, not a cat. Only us and the only staff/front of house/cook/etc. Menu: extensive. Atmosphere: drama in Spanish on the TV. Decor: inside your parents house. Not wheelchair accessible. Bring your own wine/beer. Food made on order. Came pretty quick. Good portions. Tasty. Had the restaurant for ourselves until 20:00 came. Then 11 + 2 came at once. Staff overwhelmed but did his job.

Good prices.

TL;DR: come with good company, good wine or beer, and patience and enjoy the pupusas.“

“Tellement bon! Super belle ambiance et pas cher. C’est un coup de cœur ♥️“

“Tasty dishes and several products that I hadn't seen in a while. Fast service, perhaps a little too much because we don't always have time to savor and finish the starter or a dish to share before the rest arrives.Not many vegetarian options but possibility to adjust the dishes.Basically a relaxed atmosphere and we have a good time“

“I felt right at home. The food's awesome and totally worth what you pay. With a well-balanced flavor in the Pozole and Menudo, and a tasty variety of sauces to dress everything up. I totally recommend the Champurrado, with some Mexican-style bread. Great vibe and good music, plus awesome service. I hope they keep this quality up and keep getting better.“

“This place has an excellent ambience, we ordered Camarones (TACOS) & Gringas (Al Pastor)- Quesadillas, the Quesadillas was just amazing must try and also perfect quantity. I would like to mention Simon, who was very kind and took care with precision.
Would love to visit again!“

“So good!!!!!!!!!!! I tried it with my boy for the very first time and it is really really good! Muchas gracias! Will come by again!“

“10/10! So much fun!!! The carne molcajete was amazing, the drinks were incredible and the service was impecable. The restaurant is very beautiful as well. I would recommend this experience to anyone! I highly recommend the mezcal drinks as well as the horchata carajillo (it’s the perfect dessert)“

“Really great Mexican restaurant, was one of my favorite so far, big portions and great food. The shrimps tacos were really fresh, the pizzadilla was loaded with meat and was nice and crispy, they serve it with lots of sauces on the side and service was great, will definitely come back to grab another bite!“

“Ojalá vuelvan a ofrecer el menú completo a la hora del brunch el fin de semana.“

“buen servicio y buena atención“

“Excelente y muy recomendable!!“

“REAL Mexican food, delicious and authentic. When I went through the door I felt the scent of a home made meal, took me back to my childhood at grandma’s house in Michoacán. My food was cooked at the moment and it was on the table surprisingly fast. I ordered “enchiladas Rojas” and they were the real thing! I asked for some extra spicy salsa, they brought red and green salsas, not too spicy but great taste, and the salsa macha is almost better than my mom’s. I’m going back with my kids to try the carnitas 🤤“

“Tasty food and friendly staff👍“

“KEYLEE - probably the best server I’ve ever had. If you want someone to adapt to your personality, ask for her. If you need someone to ask how your food is every 10 minutes, or if you need someone to leave you to enjoy your cocktail for 20 minutes, she’s got you. Beautiful and elegant, 10/10. She deserves the world. The food, obviously amazing never disappoints. BUT KEYLEE - we were in a rush and she catered to our every need - came back for her x“

“J'adore! très bon service , et nourriture excellente.“

“Highly recommended — 300%! I came to visit from Miami, and this restaurant was suggested to me. The food was excellent, the place was super clean, and the special attention from NADINE was exceptional. Thank you for the wonderful experience!“

“Real Mexican food, extremely courteous service and it really tastes as if you were eating at a taquería back home!!!🤗“

“Best French tacos in whole Montreal 😜😊👌👍✌️✌️“

“Vraiment bon !!! Portion enorme ! Le gout est la . On se sent vrsiment au mexique avec l’ambiance et la bouffe“

“As a visitor from Toronto, I was craving some mexican food so I decided to come here and the food was amazing!!! Me and 2 friends got the birria tacos, queso birria tacos and the al pastor tacos along with some drinks. The rice as a side was a good addition to, so I highly recommend choosing that as a side. Will definitely come back here when I return to Montreal.“

“This is a hidden gem

If you’re looking for truly authentic cuisine, La Perle d’Acapulco is a must-visit. The food is incredibly fresh, generously served, and bursting with flavor. We had the most succulent seafood soup—rich, comforting, and made with care and high-quality ingredients.
The staff are equally impressive: polite, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Their warmth and service made the experience even more memorable. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a real treasure!“

“Ordered the vegetarian quesadilla with huitlacoche. On the menu, it was listed as a starter, and I thought I'd have to order more food to complete my lunch. But it was such a generous portion, I could not eat any more. And it was delicious! The server was very courteous, too. Would love to come back on my next trip to Montreal“

“My son and I had a great dinner. The staff was lovely, food was good and they accommodated all my toddler customizations! We will definitely be back!“

“Surprisingly awesome airport find! We stopped by Carlos & Pepe’s at Montreal airport and had a great experience. We ordered the steak nachos and vampiro tacos, paired with a passion fruit mojito and a glass of white wine. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and super tasty.

The vibe and decor really stood out—it honestly didn’t feel like we were at an airport at all. Chill atmosphere, nice lighting, and a space that made us forget we were in transit.

There was a bit of a wait for the food, but the staff let us know in advance, so no surprises there. And for airport dining, the prices were totally reasonable.

If you’re passing through YUL and craving some solid Mexican food in a relaxing setting, definitely check this place out!“

“Good food and good staff . Came to La Cantina with my coworkers for almost 10 days in a row . Sopa Azteca and Tacos Al Pastor were my favourites . You should definitely visit at least once La Cantina :) Buen Provecho !!!“

“The Best Mexican Restaurant Experience in the City!

From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was on vacation in Mexico. The ambience was vibrant and authentic, with music, decor, and a welcoming atmosphere that instantly set the mood. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the food — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite transported me to the heart of Mexico.

The staff were just as impressive — warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their hospitality added a personal touch that made the entire experience feel special. If you’re looking for a true Mexican dining experience, this place is a must-visit!“
