I'm a big fan of Mission style burritos so I was thrilled when the first M4 Burritos opened up in the Latin Quarter. Another M4 Burritos just popped up near Concordia University making it a perfect lunch spot during the work week.
Tucked into a small awkward location near an alley on Maisonnueve but manages to draw in a steady stream of students. The decor is almost identical to the M4 on St. Denis, as is the food and the prices which is to say they are all pretty decent and about what you can expect from a fast food chain in Montreal. The staff are reasonably friendly though a bit scatterbrained, but that's to be expected from a bunch of college kids.
The seating arrangements definitely leave something to be desired. It's a small restaurant with only about a dozen seats in the dining area which wouldn't be so bad except the seats are arranged in the shape of a square. There's barely enough room to maneuver if you are lucky enough to actually find an empty seat.
While I might gripe about the seating and would certainly like to see lower prices and more attentive staff, I'm still stoked. Finally, I have access to mission style burritos close enough to the office that I can swing by during my lunch break and get my fill. If you haven't tried one, you're missing out.
