“Very good service and delicious original mexican food! 💯 recommended.“

“Excellent servicio que lastima que cerraron el restorante esperemos que vuelvan a abrir otro“

“This was a good decision among the many options along the Jacques-Cartier area. We were going along Rue Saint-Paul looking at art galleries, souvenir shops, restaurants and many more. Sabrosa caught my eye and I didn’t even check out the menu before asking for a table.

We were seated quickly and the patio area was fairly packed already but we didn’t really feel that there was a wait to anything. I asked our server what she thought was a better choice between albacore tostada and salmon tiradito and she said that they’re both good but the Albacore is more filling for her (which was a great suggestion as she knew that my company and I was just sharing everything). Little did I know that in just a few minutes from ordering that I am going to be a fan of Albacore (slightly seared but raw for the most part) after having that fresh plate of goodness! Never had anything like this before so it was a first, I also want to note that I am not a fan of cherry tomatoes but this made me a believer!

The fried chicken tacos were also amazing! It was a bit mouthful and messy to eat but who cares? I don’t! I will never forget how crispy the chicken was and the scrumptious sauce they drizzled on top of it! I am getting hungry just by re-living the experience in my head!

Definitely a place I would go back to whenever I find myself in the area! Will be looking forward to try more of their offerings“

“El sabor es un pedacito de México, las tortas son de-li-cio-sas!!! lo recomiendo!“

“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!“

“très bon mexicain, variété énorme, toujours satisfait et très bien servis avec le sourire“

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

“this is one of those hidden gems of the neighborhood. i love this restaurant. i've been going for 12 years and the food has been consistently delicious and the prices are fair. i recommend the burritos, pupusas, guacamole, and the steak“

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

“This is my goto place for pizza in the Atwater area, great pizza and my grandson loves it too.
They also have other Italian dishes and salads. Often they will have a Jazz night or some other entertainment on special nights.
Also has a nice outdoor terrace on Notre Dame“

“Hace una semana fui con unos amigos que vinieron de visita desde Sherbrooke, la atención de las chicas es maravilloso, pero hay una persona LGBT, alto, delgado y de lentes que tiene una prepotencia para atender, inició una de las chicas atendiéndonos y necesitaba una servilleta, el chico estaba cerca y cuando se la pedí me volteo a ver feo y me contestó muy prepotente como si mi dinero no valiera ahí, luego le pedí una cerveza y nunca me llegó y me la quisieron agregar a la cuenta, y cuando le comenté a la chica, el chico se acercó y me preguntó muy grosero si siempre si iba a querer la cerveza o ya no, después de esperarlo por 20 minutos, no es la primera vez que voy, la verdad el servicio de todos es maravilloso, pero la de el no, no sé si porque yo también sea gay el se siente con el derecho de tratarme así o quien sabe, pero si deberían supervisar el trato al cliente de sus colaboradores, de ahí solo me queda agradecer por la comida que es muy rica 🫶🏽✨“

“Comida deliciosa y buen servicio. We have eaten here many times and are never disappointed. Los pan dulces también son fantásticos! Wonderful server, Heydi always has a smile and is so sweet. Gracias Ke Tortas!“

“If you want to try the real Mexican flavor, this is the place. You can enjoy the taquitos from Mexico City in Montreal.“

“Excelente y muy recomendable!!“

“MUY RICA LA COMIDA Y ATIENDEN MUY AMABLES Y SON MUY ATENTOS CON EL CLIENTE“

“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 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“

“Today we visited Taco & Margarita and had a really great experience. I ordered tacos, and we were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes — they were very generous. The tacos were juicy and flavorful, with plenty of meat and cheese, exactly how good tacos should be.
We were served by Keylee, and the service was excellent. She was very friendly, attentive, and made our visit even more enjoyable“

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

“On a attendu 2h15 pour avoir notre commande, en sachant qu'il y avait des enfants de bas âge qui attendaient la nourriture, c'etait trop long !! et c'était même pas une fin de semaine. Déçue .“

“I’m disabled and found it easy to walk into the place. It wasn’t overly crowded but had enough people to make it feel very lively! I started with the tortilla soup, then had the fish tacos and to drink I tried the strawberry Jarritos and a sip of their margarita which I’d have again on a warm day ☀️ Everything was delicious, the staff was patient and courteous. I felt very comfortable and I’m already planning my next visit for the springtime!“

“buen servicio y buena atención“

“Tasty food and friendly staff👍“

“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, probably would not come back.“

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

“This is a spectacular, little, authentic, family-owned Mexican restaurant bringing flavours of Acapulco to Montreal. I had a burrito and it was so delicious. The service was good too. I was particularly amazed by the frothy, blended horchata. I've never had horchata served like that before, it was as much of a treat as the food. There is limited seating as it's a small restaurant. So worth trying this place if you love Mexican flavours.“

“Très bon petit resto de quartier, chouette ambiance, super service. Leurs margaritas et le ceviche sont à tomber par terre. Je recommande!“

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

“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!“
