| - Wow! Tex Mex hitting Montreal, heaven!
My friend took me here for dinner - it was both our first time coming here, and really neat to see St. Henri getting some cool restaurants. The outside suggests that you are going to be eating in a garage, and truth be told, you are. The decor inside is shabby chic, with some tables made of wooden pallets (be careful if you are wearing tights). Great music on the stereo.
Food seems pricey from the outset, but well worth it, as the portions are quite large. I ordered the octopus/chorizo tacos which were tasty and very filling, and also the tomato salad, which was also a good start (but both those things were too much for one person.) Salmon tartare was super fresh and we devoured that quickly. There was also a "Buffalo Bits" salad - which we thought would be a salad with some cleverly placed pieces of buffalo wings, blue cheese, maybe some celery or carrot sticks but was actually a little bit of cole slaw and a MASSIVE PILE of chicken wings. Whoops. When I say MASSIVE PILE, I mean beyond Cheesecake Factory massive.
So overall, I really liked this place - but probably could've used a steer on portion sizes! At the very least, I did have some yummy leftovers for lunch the next morning....!
