“Super bon restaurant pour famille couple amis ou autre. Nourriture excellent, sellers problem on availability commandé plusieurs types pour partager et ils ont amené tout en même temps et on avait pas de place sure la table. En plus les tortillas devenait trop mouillé parce-que ce nous prenait trois de temps pour les manger. En dernier la gérante est venu à notre table pour nous faire comprendre de s'en aller pour faire la place pour d'autre mais il n'y avait personne qui attendait.“

Went for my birthday this weekend - absolutely amazing experience!

Not only was the food 10/10 (amazing spicy sauce maison, and best fajitas I’ve ever had), but the service, and the bartender’s spicy
Margaritas were second to none.

Loved it, my friends loved it, will 100% be back! Thanks to the team for such an amazing evening!“

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

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

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“My Fiancé and I went to El Gordo for the first time after reading online reviews. We were pleasantly surprised and agreed with the positive feedback. We found the atmosphere to be relaxed which was what we were looking for . The Sunday special for 2 of Chicken or Tofu Fajitas was our choice for our first visit ( but definitely not our last ) & we were very happy with it. It was delicious and a generous sizzling pan with the usual accompaniments of 8 soft Tacos , Pico de Gallo, Sour Cream, and Salsa . We chose a bottle of their house wine which was an Organic Bio Tempranillo from Spain. The price was very reasonable.

For dessert we had the traditional Churros and Flan and were happy with both along with an Americano/ Canadiano.

The service was exceptional, courteous, friendly , made us feel like honoured guests or family. We were especially happy with our server , Simon who is a definite asset to your Restaurant. He has the perfect personality for the service profession.
We would also like to give a shout-out to Malik. He too is great in the service profession. Personality wise, these two rate a 5/5 + 🌟⭐️

We will be returning and cannot wait for Summer Terrasse weather.
Thank you to one and all at El Gordo.
Two new fans,
Sharon & Ian Clyde“

“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.“

“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)“

“Excelente y muy recomendable!!“

“Tasty food and friendly staff👍“

“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 🤤“

“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“

“We visited Tacochon and it was amazing definitely did not disappoint. The waiter and staff were amazing they were friendly and accommodating but the food is authentic and truly delicious I will be going back I say is a 10/10“

“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 😜😊👌👍✌️✌️“

“This place is amazing. We were taken care of from the time we booked our reservation for 11 to changing the amount of people (quite a few times). We were treated as though we were friends & family. We were seated quickly, able to order drinks immediately while waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. Our waitress was so patient with us as well as so much fun. We were served our food quickly and it was delicious. Some of us even ventured in trying the brown (hot) sauce. The owner also came over to our table and gave us a round of tequila shots, delicious. These shots are one of their own recipes, we recommend you try it. We really enjoyed their margaritas, also a special recipe. We will definitely be back.“

“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“
