| - Since coming from San Diego, CA, my husband and I have hunted for authentic Mexican food in Montreal. After going to Carlos & Pepe's (worst Mexican food ever, even the salsa was terrible), and then 3 amigos (marginally better), we didn't have much expectation for this place, even though it was highly recommended.
The location is very easy to find, as it is next to Lolita's, and the decor was all right. We ordered taco pastores and a carne asada burrito. Although the taco pastores was decent, the sauce tended to be a bit on the sweet side, the carne asada burrito was terrible. First of all, a real carne asada burrito does not have rice in it. Rice is simply a filler so that they can give you less meat. Also, the meat was not properly marinated, so the meat was not at all tender & flavorful like a real carne asada burrito is supposed to be. The one really good thing was their spicy salsa, hands down.
Finally, the price for the dishes was a bit much for the amount of food that you get. We ate dinner around 7, but got hungry at around 9:30...its totally not worth the price you pay. We're probably not going to go back and will still continue looking for a real Mexican restaurant.
