| - When my wife and I decided to travel to Montreal Quebec, I would have never assumed that a Mexican taco shop would have been on the list of restaurants that we would visit. However, we were looking for a small and simple restaurant to try near a park we wanted to visit. While looking on the map in my Yelp app, I came upon Café Frida.
When you are walking up it is nothing spectacular, actually quite typical for a taco stand. When you enter you are almost transported to a border town in southern Arizona. With the bright colors and the Mexican poster boards on the walls. It is really quite comforting for a southern Arizona boy. Something that was unlike every other location we visited in Montreal, the owner actually didn't speak any English. She spoke Spanish and French. Luckily for me, my lovely wife speaks Spanish and was able to save the day.
I ordered the three tacos that I would get in my hometown of Tucson Arizona. A carne asada (beef), carnitas (pork), and a chorizo (spicy pork sausage). When they hit the table I was instantly satisfied. The smells and the look of the food were immediately comforting. As for the flavor, it was a 10 out of 10. All three of the tacos were wrapped in a delicious corn tortilla and the fillings were incredible all in their own way. In addition to the tacos, we also ordered guacamole with chips. The guacamole was a perfect avocado salsa. With fresh onion and tomato and a prefect amount of cilantro. The jalapeno addition was just enough to awaken the taste buds without being too spicy. Overall, Café Frida was everything that both my wife and I could have hoped it would be while looking for a small simple place to enjoy a quick bite to eat.
