| - I've often said that if I was forced to eat food only from one part of the world for the rest of my life, there wouldn't be any hesitation: Mexican is how I'd roll. My favorite food, Beer and Shot are all Mexican, so whatever genie or cult leader was inexplicably forcing me into this strange dietary restriction wouldn't hear any complaining from this guy. So when a group of us were in search of food walking through downtown Montreal, and nobody expressed a clear preference, my mind went into Robocop vision, silently but vigilantly scanning every storefront for signs of tasty Mexican eateries.
Soon we came across the colorfully painted "Taqueria Mex". The food was Mexican, the menu was Bilingual and the logo sported some colorful birdies. I was off to the races, pleading a case for this as our lunch spot.
One odd thing was, there were tables and we were given menus, but no waiters or waitresses. We think this fact may have been explained to us, but as none of us in the group speak french, there were several minutes of waiting for a waitress that never came, before approaching the counter to order and take our food back to our table.
At that point, I was pretty hungry, so I actually opted for 2 entrees, each coming with a side that I shared with the rest of my table, as to not be a complete fatass. I went with the Chicken Burrito Grande, and a steak taco (nachos and rice for the sides). The Chicken Burrito Grande was tasty, but the way it was assembled lended to more of a knife-and-fork style than a standard eat-with-your-hands style I'm accustomed to.
The Steak Taco wasn't as good. As someone who grew up loving Taco Bell's 99 cent tacos, at a hefty $4+ dollars for a single Taqueria Mex Taco, that taco better come correct. I should savor every bite, I should be taken aback by the magnificent flavors, that taco should be giving my taste buds handjobs for over $4 per. Sadly, it was just another blandish Taco, topped with Tomato (ack!) and Avocado. One thing it had going for it though, was an interesting innovation in cheese technology. Instead of sprinkling shredded cheese atop the taco as a topping, the cheese was introduced by being melted between 2 tortillas like a small grilled cheese sandwich. Pretty sweet, actually. However it wasn't enough to save me from feeling ripped off.
Topped off with a couple of Coronas and a trip to their Salsa Bar (featuring 5 different salsas, as well as other toppings and spices) made it quite a nice meal, albeit a little pricey.
