Their speciality seems to be the margarita but i've had better (mine was too limey which i hate so it made them okay) My friend really enjoyed her flavored one so it's prob best to opt for one with a flavor. The margs are prices at $15 a class and then you can get liters/pitchers if you're in that kind of mood. They have a huuuge mezcal and tequila selection & wide range of beers on tap to choose from.

The tacos are absolutely incredible -- fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into every bite.

Whether you're going for a quick bite or a full meal with friends, this is the spot for true Mexican flavor in Montreal. Highly recommend!

When they offered to stay open longer to accommodate my party of 2 I was sold. Attitude is everything and Mañana exhibited the right sort of can-do attitude. Nobody seemed concerned about staying a little later than planned and when I ordered a glass of red wine it was delightful to learn that they had a choice of open bottles from which to choose. Besides the alcohol, allI I did here was share a platter of (deliciously satisfying) nachos but between that, the colorful and decorative interior, and the welcome hospitality I have to admit I liked Mañana somewhat better than the place down the street which displayed little of the same. If you find yourself in Montreal and desirous of Mexican fare Mañana proved a welcome surprise, one to which I'd happily return.

It was busy, which is usually a good sign. Honestly, I wasn't really in the mood for tacos, but everyone else wanted to go, so I figured why not. Man, am I glad we stopped here because the food was delicious. The shrimp tacos were really good, but the Choripapas were my favorite. I'm not vegan or a full-time vegetarian, but I do try to limit how much meat I eat, and I was more than satisfied with everything here. The margarita was fantastic, the black bean dip was fantastic, the service was fantastic, and finally, the GUACAMOLE was fantastic! I would definitely encourage anyone in the area to check this place out. Sometimes the places you stumble across end up being the best.

The mortar bowl is filled shallow with avocado, not a lot, but a workable amount. It's C$19 / $13.54 The burrata and quinoa salad is good, different. Creamy and smooth with the avocado. The fried chicken taco is good, better than the fried fish tacos for us both. The black beans are good, just soaked in bean water juice. Refried beans would be a bit better, but still good. The quinoa salad, guacamole and fried chicken tacos are worth a visit. Service is good for sure, friendly and warm.

The steak tacos were pretty good but some of the steak was pretty tough. The chicken tacos were great and probably the best seasoned of the three. The pork tacos were good and the pineapple offered a good contrast. They gave a large bowl of guacamole on the side which was really good and made all the tacos a lot better. They also put fries on top of the tacos, which was a fun addition but ultimately made all the tacos taste too similar. Usually different taco flavours have red onion or cabbage or diced tomatoes as a garnish, but in this case they were just topped with fries so there wasn't enough flavour distinction and all the tacos taste the same after a while. Despite that, you really can't beat the value offered by the taco box so we would certainly be tempted to buy it again when we're craving tacos.

This meal was so bad we actually went to another Mexican restaurant to try and erase the experience. See my review of Lakalaka located on the other end of St Denis.

You have a choice of 5 different tacos for the AYCE menu ( carnitas, steak, pastor, chorizo, and veggie). My favourites were the steak, carnitas, and pastor. You get two sauces on the side and every taco is garnished with onions and coriander with a lime wedge for each taco you order. They are so good and bite sized, my friends and I had 13-15 tacos each and we were so full by the end but so content. For all you can eat it is a great deal. The service is also very fast which is good because they keep the tacos coming. I've also been during non AYCE days and have tried the burrito (huge and flavourful and filling), and the chips and guac (good!), and the steak quesadilla (one of my favourites! so gooey and cheesy). I recommend also getting the hojicha drink! It's milky and refreshing. You can't go wrong with this place. Everything on the menu is good and staff is really friendly. The space is also very big and there's a good variety of tables and booths. Has lots of decorations on the walls and theme music playing.

We got wind of this place from a local travel vlogger who made a convincing case to try it. We were on our way to the Berri-UQAM metro station when we stopped here without a reservation on what looked to be a popular restaurant row on Rue Saint-Denis. Seated on the back terrace, we first ordered the C$6.50 Lattes (Photo 10) and went for the same breakfast, the C$17.95 Spinach Omelette with Peppers, Cheese and Mushrooms. It came with a mixed green salad, all of it drizzled with crema (Photo 9). The eggs were well turned, and all the veggies tasted fresh. They offered Mexican standards like Huevos Rancheros, as well as sweeter options like Dulce de Leche Pancakes and a Tiramisu Martini Espresso. We, however, showed restraint for a change.
