| - I had high expectations based on the menu. I generally love Latin / Mexican food, so when I arrived I was really looking forward to a nice discovery. Our first disappointment came when ordering drinks... They had run out of something to do their Coco Loco cocktail... strike one. It was a Friday night so you'd expect them to be ready for the weekend... but alas not so bad it only got worse. When looking at wines, they had also run out of our first choice... Not a great way to start but ok, we eventually went to plan B and went for food.
The Queso Fresco was a nice dish. Fresh, tasty, well balanced (would recommend it!). Their Guac with chicharron was also good. I've had better, but overall still not bad. The tortilla chips were not great however. More like rice cakes than tortillas...
We then ordered enchiladas. Again had to go for plan B (for some reason, no chicken enchiladas available) and ordered the green enchilada. We were warned it was a little hot, which was exactly our hope. Sadly, it was bland, tasteless. I tiny bit of heat, but barely noticable. The kind of heat you get for a cheap fast-food burger, not what you'd expect from mexican.
Lastly, we hoped the pork tacos would save the day... but alas that was probably the least satisfying experience of the night. Bland pork, barely any seasoning (save for the lime we squeezed ourselves) and a bit of chopped radishes.... tasteless, lifeless...
The service was ok, the waitress was nice and did her best, the ambiance overall was OK. But in the end it's the food I will sadly remember.
So many great restaurant options in Montreal, this sadly was not one I will remember or recommend. There's better Mexican as well, and for cheaper at that.
