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.

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.

Unfortunately, Montreal is not blessed with good Mexican food and 3 Amigos is no different either. Don't get me wrong, I love this place and this is one of the better places in the city to have Mexican food but it's just not authentic unfortunately. However, I really like their salsa that comes with the chips. To be honest, the chips and salsa are always the highlight of my visit to this place. The fajitas are also good (in Montreal standard). They used to have good deals on certain items pre-pandemic but since the pandemic began, they cancelled those deals. :( Last but not the least, the stuffs are great and they really try to make you feel welcome!

As a Texan, I hit the ground running looking for good Tex-Mex the minute we landed in town, and settled into a cozy booth at this low-key spot of Rue St. Denis.

I came here during my work trip to Montreal with some coworkers and really didn't expect the tacos to be anything special, I thought they would be good but like I said didn't expect anything extraordinary. I ordered the Grilled Shrimp Tacos since I'm not the biggest fan of eating too many fried things these days and I'm so happy that I stuck what that. The shrimp tacos had SO SO SO MUCH flavor, I ended up exchanging a beef taco with my coworker just so we could try something different from what we ordered. I tried the beef taco and it definitely was really good packed with good flavors. Since I had the beef taco first I really didn't think the shrimp tacos would be crazy different but hands down it was 1000 times better, tastier, and even juicer than my first taco. My coworker even said so for herself, she definitely enjoyed the shrimp taco the most over all the tacos she had ordered! If I were in the area again, I wouldn't think twice about coming here again and most certainly would try to sit downstairs since the ambience seemed more of a vibe for a group of people! I would hands down give this place a 5/5! YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE!!!

The reason for few stars is that the food here is Mexican-like but if you are used to Mexican food you may be disappointed. No refried beans or rice, and the tacos are very weird, I have never seen breaded and fried chicken pieces used for chicken taco meat before. The chicken tacos are basically fried chicken strips on melted cheese and a flour tortilla. Chorizo tacos seem like the chorizo came out of a tube of soy chorizo.

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.

The server saw we didn't eat them and did not even bother to ask why or show any concern when she took the uneaten plate away and brought the bill. Sangria was equally bad.

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.

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.
