Very refreshing, lots of vegetables and the octopus is tender. The patate benie had perfect poached eggs, tender pork belly and crispy potato squares. Loved the sauces. The speciality coffee drinks are on the sweeter side. But lots of fun spiced options. The presentations are lovely. A feast for the eyes.

We were in Montreal for several days and decided to go casual on our anniversary and we were craving Mexican food. We made a reservation as the place is crazy busy. We arrived, had to wait a few minutes before we were seated. The hostess looked up our reservation and seated us without saying anything to us. We took our seats and looked at drinks before looking at the menu. Our server took awhile to come to our table, took our drink order and an appetizer order and left. The drinks finally came out along with the chips and guacamole and we decided to make our decision on dinner. We waited, and waited, and waited about 40 minutes for our server to come back to take our dinner order. She was fairly nice, but rushed. Again, we waited and waited and waited for our dinners. We were enjoyed the food, it was flavorful, seasoned well, and really filled our craving for Mexican food. After we finished our dinner, again we waited, waited, and waited for our server to come back to our table. She never checked on us as to how we were enjoying our food. She brought the check, we paid, stood to leave and she said thank you as my husband handed the check back to her. He quickly mentioned it was our anniversary, she stopped and asked if we would want to sit back down and she would bring us a dessert. It was nice to offer, but she could have learned this if she would have taken a moment to talk to us. We didn't need a long conversation, just to feel welcome, and we felt in the way as they were busy. We thanked her, but we didn't want to spend an hour waiting for a dessert, so we graciously declined and left. It really is a shame. If the service was better, and the food came out quickly, they could turn tables quicker. I don't know if they are short staffed, but it really was disappointing.

But sometime in 2024, they replaced their delicious warm pineapple with some gross pineapple salsa with onions, and it was never the same. Why did they make the change? I have no idea, and I never got a clear response. But I hope they go back on that decision because as of May 2025, they are still using the new recipe and it is so bad compared to what it used to be.

This one I've been a few times you know it's gonna be good when you see someone's grandma and grandson cooking in the back lol the food feels really authentic. The vibes are there the taste is there in the price is there. For four Birria tacos it was about $18 which isn't horrible. Would 100% come back definitely on Tuesdays because it's all you can eat!

CubanMex fusion cuisine is getting traction in Florida, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and of course California, but hands down - this small simple family run restaurant in Montreal is at the front of this trend. I only hope they don't get so popular, that we cannot get in next time. This type of innovation in flavor from immigrants merging their own two cultures is what Montreal is all about!

Le Roi du Taco in Montreal is a great spot for anyone craving flavorful Mexican food. On my visit,…read moreI had the Tortilla Soup, which was fantastic--crispy tortilla chips in a rich broth with sautéed tomatoes and guajillo chili. It came with guacamole, cheese, and sour cream, adding the perfect creamy balance to the heat. Speaking of guacamole, they sell it (and other goodies) in a mini store section at the back of the restaurant, so you can take some home! The caramel-filled churros here are also a highlight--crispy on the outside, warm and gooey with caramel inside. They're hands down my favorite churros in Montreal. The tacos are fresh and flavorful, with a great variety of options, and the guacamole, which you can buy to go, is creamy and fresh. Service is friendly, and while it can get a little noisy during busy times, the overall experience is worth it. If you're in Montreal, definitely check this place out for a tasty taco and churro fix!
