Is this what Mexican food really tastes like?!?! La Guadalupe was suggested to me by a friend of mine from Mexico city, I kept asking him when he was going to make me real Mexican food and i guess one day he got tired of me asking so he recommended this place, saying it was the best Mexican restaurant in Montreal.
Let me start by saying that if you're in a hurry you should go to Taco Bell. This isn't a fast food kind of place, it's a meal with friends kind of place. Everyone who works here seems to be family and if not family they have been working there for long enough to considered family. All this to say the service at Guadalupe's isn't fast but it's still good service.
Now the reason why the service is a little slow as well as why the food here is so good. Nothing at this restaurant is pre-made, everything is freshly made with fresh ingredients. I've taken a few people to this place and everyone leaves raving about the food.
The decor has a Mexican flavor to it, I guess? I'm not sure what Mexican decor is supposed to look like since every Mexican restaurant I've ever been to looks the same, even in Mexico. You aren't here for the look at the decor anyway, it's about the food. So grab some friend and head down for a great night.
