What do you get when you cross an abandoned cargo shipping container and food truck? No not a cheesy joke, but the delicious and hip concept that is Muvbox! This old port equivalent of a food truck embodies the essence of shipyard chic. Located in the old port conveniently right outside bota bota spa, it's the perfect snack to keep you energized for biking the port or walking old montreal (or powering through your bridal party photo sesh).
The muvbox complex hosts both a taco box and a homard box (the montreal version of a lobster shack). I tried Taco Box and OMG- DUCK TACOS, best I've ever had! The duck confit was plentiful, succulent and perfectly complimented by the hoisin, shiitake mushrooms and shreds of seaweed salad.
My friends had the lobster taco and were equally enamored.
I was in canard confit heaven! So much so, that the next day at my friend's bridal party photo shoot (which ended in old port) I tried to get us all to recharge at taco box just so I could have another taco- but sadly were pressed for time. [Insert sad face]
I had the horchata (a Mexican rice drink) which was delectably cinnamon-y and milky... Perfection! Wonderfully refreshing on a hot summer day.
We had the chips and guacamole as well and while the guac was great, the chips had sesame seeds(?) which was different I guess, but didn't work for me. My friends got a cucumber lime juice which was a bit too sweet for our taste- definitely skip that.
