I had their large pozole a few times and it’s always really good. The staff is really kind. Just don’t forget to ask for the spicy sauce to go with it. My first time here was about a month and a half ago and I go there for takeout about once per two weeks. I also tried their shrimp quesadillas and they were good too. May be just lacking a bit on the cheese but good.
First time eating here ! Was blown away such an amazing experience. The lady who took my order was impressive she spoke English , French and Spanish perfectly ,so many amazing choices. I asked here to surprise me . I have no clue what it was it it has beef in it amazing fresh vegetables . Was unbelievable and the best burrito I ever ate ! Highly suggest eating here !
Wildly inconsistent.... inedible this time..Last time we got food from here it was the most amazing fajitas I'd ever eaten the beef was so tender and flavourful. My partners chorizo tacos were delicious. We order the *exact* same thing today, awful. We couldn't even finish our meals. Dry, flavorless. My beef in my fajita was like rubber and tasted like nothing. The peppers were raw. The chorizo one looked so sad and was also flavorless. I don't understand how inconsistent this can be from amazing to inedible. It worrys me from ever coming a third time. 😕
Nice small restaurant, very welcoming. The tacos were a bit sad looking. Also had the nachos al pastor, very flavourful. With the tacos came 1 singular slice of lime (less than half) for 3 tacos. The lime was very dry so we asked our server for more and she gladly brought us 2 slices of the same size. By my surprise, we were charged $1 for the "extra" lime. We didn't say anything because we had already payed when we realized, but it just feels a little cheap to be charged for it giving that the one that came with the meal was dry. Overall, the food was pretty good, but there are better taco places out there, that are also more authentic.
We went there twice already. - Fish tacos dish was really really good. - Cactus Tacos dish needed a bit more improvement. - Soup was excellent! - Beef Tacos were too dry. - Pastor Tacos pork were too dry too. - Pulled Pork Tacos were too dry. - Fajitas wraps were really good. Basically I believe the pork and beef need to be less dry because it's become very cardboard chewy. Guacamole was ok. The hot sauces are good in the clean bottles,that's a plus ! The staff are super friendly. Ambience with music is fun feeling like mexico home good food. Drinks are good. Definitely going back to try some more food there.
Since traveling to Mexico in Feb 2024, we have been trying to find an authentic style Mexican restaurant in Montreal. We did find this one that fits the bill. The food was fresh and delicious. We started with chips and guacamole. The chips were crunchy and freshly fried, and I would have liked more. The guacamole tasted just like mine, homemade. I did, however, find it quite expensive at $4.50 for 8 chips and 3 tbsps of guac. We then had, for our main meal, I had a beef burrito, and my partner had the carnitas platter. The Beef Asada Burrito was huge. The flour tortilla was filled with lots of grilled beef, lettuce, refried beans, cheese, and a bit of rice. Both red and green salsa were provided to up the spice factor and taste. As for the carnitas plate, it was served with rice, guacamole, black beans & 4 tortillas and carnitas (pulled pork with pico de gallo). It too lacked some spice and heat but was filling for those with big appetites. Reservations are not accepted, so be prepared to wait. We were there Friday at 6:15 and the place was full. We did have a short wait, which wasn't too bad. Except for the fact that it was way too hot inside. It seemed like the AC was out. Even the staff complained. Yes, this is an option for Mexican food. Next time we go, we'll make sure itbis cooler outside.
I was tired and hungry,I wanted Mexican food so badly and my friend told me about this place + it had great reviews...so I walked an extra 30 mins in the heat. I did pass several other Mexican places, but I was set on this one. I walk in, tiny restaurant, simple looking, nothing much, a few spanish speaking customers (good sign). Man...the food was on another level. Wow wow wow. We ordered a variety if dishes, including drinks, every dish was unreal, the drinks were so refreshing. Big highlight was the cactus beef and the ice cold horchata drink Basically transported to another culture instantly through flavours. Glad I walked so long, glad I trusted my friend and the reviews. 9/10 experience (-1 for the interior design, which is cute, but nothing special...but who cares?)
Very good mexican food!!! Everything was fresh and tasty! Portions are very good and service is friendly! Would definitely recommend! The guacamole here is on another level, so so good! Thank you
Alwaya a winner! One of the best mexicain places in the area.
Delicious. Good price. Really cool vibe and decor
What a treasure of a restaurant! Amazing authentic food , the best margarita and the people who work there are so lovely ! We will definitely return
This place is great I highly recommend. Sweet staff great food, very cute restaurant. If you re in the neighbourhood and are looking for a Mexican restaurant go to this one instead of the one next door, you won t regret it. What I love most about this restaurant is that they serve your food with 2 different sauces, a green one and a red one, I don t know what they put in there but it really hits the spot.
My favourite tacos in the area
Although the entrance was narrow, the service was so friendly and the atmosphere perfect that you instantly felt part of the family. The tacos were good and the service was quick.
Really very good, authentic, friendly and not too expensive Vegetarian options: Mushroom or cactus tacos
Authentic mexican el pastor!
I had lunch there. Lovely place. Kind staff | owners. Food is tasty and very affordable !
Just wow!! What a great experience, the tacos are delicious and what can I say about their guacamole, just yum!! Fast and excellent service
We ve been here several times and will definitely come again! Friendly service and delicious food. Quesadilla Camaronera is the best!
In the good tacos of Montreal, and great service!
Best Mexican restaurant
Ive been here numerous times, and the food is always great. Best guacamole in the city.
Staff is friendly, menus are delicious
Great place, reliably serving amazing tacos since I first visited more than 8 years ago. I wish my metabolism could still take 9 tacos per sitting!
Found this place a bit underwhelming. The place is nice enough, and so is the service. Food is not bad but just nothing impressive in comparison to other Mexican restaurants Ive tried in the city. I had the fajitas platter.
Like the food it was pretty good I had tacos carnitas. My friend had two different type of taco, one of them was the birria tacos which was good but not enough crispy. My friend also took a suggestion from the waitress which I dont recall what it was named but he was not disappointed and found the suggestion very tasty. But overall great experience the food was good, the service was awesome and the atmosphere /deco was really great. We also see its a place really appreciated by people, it was around 20:45 and the restaurant was full and people seamed to have great time.
Had marinade pork taco, mushroom taco and beef. Really enjoy guacamole!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at restaurant frida , and it truly delivered an exceptional Mexican food experience. From the moment I walked in, the vibrant décor and warm ambiance set the perfect mood for a great meal. Thank you Luna for the great service Highly recommend!
Such a cute spot, we like to go on tuesdays for the margaritas!
Really, really good!
The best Mexican restaurant in Montreal by far. Everything is delicious. Strongly recommend
almost each taco for $4-5, but very normal. Service is excellent and they provide the english version menu Food
Loved the overall experience at Tacos Frida! As a Vegetarian, there are loads of great options - will not disappoint!
Delicious food, A+ service good vibes.
Great tacos, very reasonably priced and some tasty and strong margaritas. Lots of choice here, we were very impressed
Super good restaurant, real Mexican taste, good portions, super nice and courteous staff; Luna our waitress vrm top. I recommend 100%
Its a good thing to eat, its very delicious.
We had pastor and pescado tacos. Meat in pastor was a bit dry and fish in pescado was not crispy.
I have nothing bad to say this place is amazing good food, good service and clean environment!
Taco was a bit salty. The soupe I order tasted good. Food
Succulent tacos. Very good service. Mexico near you. I highly recommend.
Great food and decent prices!
Went today with my friend after studying at a nearby café and was served by the most wonderful waitress - Luna. Such a sweet person who radiates a wonderful energy. Made our experience x10 better because of her. The food was really good and the atmosphere felt like I was in Mexico. The music was perfect as we could hear each other talk, unlike in other restaurants. Would definitely come back again as it was worth eating at a place with a welcoming staff :) A Montreal gem thats for sure!
Todorico
Enjoyed the saxophone player. Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff
Nice food but portions for children
We ate very well even though some items on the menu were missing. The waitress was a little too insistent in making us take things to compensate for the shortages even though it didnt suit our tastes but otherwise I recommend the place
Lovely small place. Food was good, Id go again.
Great place with delicious and simple food. Prices are reasonable. Dont miss the nachos, one of the best I ever had.
Just wow go and try it for yourself.. love their fish tacos!!! Edit: went there for seconds within two weeks - the food was the usual amazing! But this time we felt we were being rushed. We ordered multiple dishes, every time they came to check on us, we knew it was not to see if everything is okay.. just ruins the joy of eating peacefully! Please don t rush your customers. It s not a polite way to treat your customers. I think the servers focus is on making tips and that s why they do this! Still, this is not a good treatment!
Always A1 service and Authentica Mexican cuisine
Have yet to physically go in the restaurant but I love ordering from this place, the food is excellent.
Great food, friendly staff, soup, chips and guacamole then tacos, so yummy.
Had an awesome lunch here. Water was ice cold, service was fast, brought everyone s food out at the same time. 2 hot sauce types for the table. Just perfect honestly.
Amazing tacos
The food was OK, drinks were unusual and tasty, and the interior was decorated in Mexican style, which I personally liked. However, there was nothing exceptional for this place, I would say - one-time visit.
Amazing food!!! You have to try the beef quesadillas and the birria!! We love to go pick it up and go eat it in a park. Very nice staff as well!
Its a really great place!
Went there recently and didnt expect it to be so bad. Oil was dripping from fries used in tacos, and they were not fresh at all. They didnt even give water, you have to ask for it separately. It seems they were understaffed as it took ages for them to even take the order, let alone bring it. They just picked up your plate literally as soon as you put the last bite in your mouth, even though few tables were still empty for guests in case it was busy, it wasnt. Overall not so good experience as we expected.
Tasty tacos, great margaritas
A true gem in Montreal! At Tacos Frida, I was impressed by the quality of the dishes and the authenticity of the flavors. The service was quick and friendly which made the experience even more pleasant. The tacos are incredible, every bite is a trip to Mexico. Special mention for the carnitas tacos and guacamole, absolutely delicious. The margaritas were also excellent, perfect to accompany the meal. A place that I highly recommend to all Mexican food lovers! A bit noisy place too, so be warned!
Excellent, authentic and affordable tacos
Loved this spot tasty tacos nice coctails and friendly staff.
Tacos Frida is my go-to spot in the city for amazing tacos. A stroll down the canal to the restaurant makes for a perfect day, and the experience is always worth it. I never miss out on their Birria tacos and the great drinks they offer. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious, authentic tacos.
Its a 3.5/5 The food was good and fresh but Ive eaten at better places before. The pulled pork was fresh and cooked just right but it wasnt spicy enough. The service was excellent. The servers are attentive and efficient. The big problem for me is that it is a very noisy restaurant. Its difficult to hear the conversations of people 30 cm from you. The decoration is very pretty! The restaurant has a nice ambiance. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: Dairy and nut free. Are respectful and watch out for allergies. Parking: Few places
Guac is out of this world. Great, upbeat service. So yummy.
Amazing food, beef quesadilla blew my mind. Great service. Very homely atmosphere. One of the best places for Mexican food I have ever had in my life outside of Texas.
The portions are sufficient and good for their price. Fast and friendly service, good atmosphere.
The tacos here are truly authentic, with rich, vibrant flavors. The guacamole is next level and a must-try. The staff is also friendly and welcoming, making the dining experience enjoyable.
very good Mexican restaurant its the first time I went there and to my surprise everything was very good I highly recommend this place a real gem to discover for lovers of good Mexican food
Excellent tacos! We loved the food and we were well received, we had a great time, and it s not expensive. We tried the guacamole, very fresh, with chips. Also the margaritas are to die for! Don t miss it. Food
The food was very good and tasty . However, I was disappointed by the portion sizes, which felt quite small considering the price. Food
Succulent tacos. Fast service
Yummy & comfort spot , good area to walk around after yummy dish
The margaritas are very delicious! The choriqueso to share is a very good option! Excellent service from an Argentinian waiter! We will definitely return!
Great food! Was fast and the service was great!
The pozole at this place is very delicious, yesterday I tried the gringas and I really liked them! The service is excellent too, they are very friendly
Excellent taquitos! The birria is very good, but there are parts with a lot of thanks and fatties . The très leches cake was a little dry. Everything else incredible.
I love this place, I come as much as I can. The food is awesome, its not a fancy place but thats exactly why I love this place, it feels very like a family business, The price is awesome and the food quality never deceives me.
Amazing tacos and literally the best guacamole I ve ever had!
Amazing
I loved the vibe and food at this place. For vegetarians and vegans, it s a true paradise. While I think they could improve their portion sizes, overall, the experience is quite good. Definitely worth a visit! Vegetarian options: Tacos Quesadillas Frida platter Churros
This restaurant started out in a small place, bit the awesomness of the food and service needed a larger location. Fortunately, it was close by. I tried the mushroom tacos, nopales tacos, Oaxaca breakfast, and many other things, but I give you my over all best: They have the best fish taco west of the Rio Grande!
Very good!!!
Super friendly smiling team, yummy fast and fairly priced tacos! Bravo!
I love that this place started out as a hole-in-the-wall. The food here is tasty and not overpriced, I got the carnitas tacos along with a horchata. The tacos were delicious, but the horchata was a little sweet for my liking. I tried a jamaica agua fresca and that really hit the spot. Would absolutely go back, these family run places are my absolute favorites.
Our favourite place for tacos in montreal. And my only place everything is delicious. Never disappointed.
I m from India.This is the 3rd time i went to Frida for lunch.Its awesome. The Mexican veg /nonveg food is highly recommended. The Tortillas were hot and soft.We were 3 of a family.We ordered 2 plates ,it was so filling after this i skipped dinner. The food was hot ,service good.There is waiting too at lunch hours too ,but worth the wait!!!!
Great food, reasonable prices and great service (thanks Maria!).
We had the quesadillas shrimps with tacos mushrooms and beef tacos. We LOVED the shrimp quesadilla and the mushrooms tacos. The beef was overcooked for our taste, the waiter was nice enough to offer us a second table so we could sit next to each other. The ambiance was nice but a bit noisy for us. Highly recommend!
Excellent tacos in st henri. Had the birria tacos on special, pescado and carnitas. So much meat and so much flavour. Love the hot sauces on the table and spicy margaritas were nice and flavorful.
Excellent Mexican food! Highly recommended.
Sooo good Mexican food; really nice people, great little restaurant!
Very tasty and good service, only there are almost never seats, you have to wait a long time
The best mexican spot in Saint-Henri!! Genuine food, great prices and their Margaritas Tuesdays are a must ! Food
Good food, although a pinch of seasoning is missing in certain dishes (it is general in all the restaurants where I have eaten) the cuisine is very good, the service excellent, I have undoubtedly returned several times.
Pretty great mexican food! The menu is concise, the waitors are all nice, the interiour is vibrant. Honestly a really great spot to get your taco craving fixed. We dined-in and the place can be a bit cramped and the food is good enough. Be careful when ordering Horchota cause theirs are like crack. (For reference: I got a Chorizo Quesadilla & a Fish Taco (that comes in 3) for a total of 27.76 incl. taxes & tips) 31/05/2024
Yum! Everything was amazing! 2 x $15 strong margaritas on Tuesdays.
The best tacos in Montreal!
Amazing food
Great local spot for authentic Mexican cuisine. Love the chicken tinga plate with a classic margarita!
First time there, and I thought the food was great, everything tasted and looked fresh. Ill definitely be going again soon.
Food and drinks are always so good ! They also accommodated a group of 10 for my partners birthday and even allowed us to bring our own cake. A good place any day of the week but also for special occasions :) Food
During my visit to Montreal we had dinner at Frida. The guacamole with chips is delicious, the al pastor tacos are excellent!! Highly recommended if you want to eat authentic Mexican food in a pleasant and family atmosphere
Been going here for over 6 years. Best Mexican food in Montreal. Service is great and Margueritas are even greater ! A true hidden gem in St-Henri
Birria taco special, asada plate, and horchata were all delicious. Order the Birria if it s available!
Wait was a bit long but the food was good! I had the beef fajita bowl and horchata and I would definitely get those again!
It s filled with Mexican. decorations.and there great the Foods here s amazing and just to good to explain best tacos in Montreal for sure
Very delicious food, great pricing and cozy decor
Awesome place. Great food casual environment
First time in the place and I ordered tacos al pastor and asada and the truth is they are very average, especially the asada one. The birria ones are good!
Truly one of the worst meals I ve ever had. The guac tasted way too oignon-y, the tortilla soup was a disaster, and the entrees where to even start. The meat was cut extremely thin, was drier than the sahara, and completely tasteless. The tacos were too salty. The refried beans genuinely looked like resident evil food. I truly, truly don t understand this restaurant s high rating. Never again.
Amazing!
Amazing tacos
Fast service and very delicious food. I tried the pozole and was amazing. The très leches was good too. Food
Fabulous place! They had a birria special of the day and it was so good! My girlfriend had a bowl and she loved it. We also ordered two margaritas, one spicy one not. The spicy one had a great kick with 2oz of tequila. They have pictures of lucha libre wrestling on the wall which adds to the atmosphere. Will come back in the future.
Their tacos are most excellent and fairly authentic. That red hot sauce will put some hair on your chest
Great food, great ambiance and great service!
best tacos in mtl
Nice place good food
Mighty fine fish tacos..even better pozole. You May wish to bring your own cutlery. It seems this is optional. But then again, who needs a fork for tacos... Maybe to pick up the small bits that land on your plate. Food : 5/5
Delicious!
Absolute chef s kiss food, especially the tacos. The staff is very sweet and nice, definitely a place to visit for your next Mexican food craving!
% Recommendable and very good service. Green chilaquiles with cured meat. Mole enchiladas
Everything is perfect, I went there for the first time and I would go back, its very typical, the food is good
I loved the place. Design is so nice. Our tacos were descent. Tinga and Taco du jour that came with a delicious soup were amazing. I prefer Taco du jour with beef. The staff were nice and bilingual.
Ream Mexican food extremely delicious I recommend Tortillas soup Family business they really care about clients Food : 5/5
Really cool place sounds and feel like a family owned. 5 stars very very good
Excellent, we really liked the food, the service, the decoration of the place, we left very satisfied
I traveled back here from Ottawa because I havent found better. This is my favorite taco place. Ever. Vegetarian options: Cactus Kid-friendliness: I saw children dining
Stopped by for a quick dinner on a Friday evening and have no complaints! Enjoyed the food very much. I had ordered the chicken tongs Frida plate and my husband ordered the pastor tacos along with guacamole and chips and it was plenty of food! The atmosphere was great and warm and loved the touches of decor throughout the restaurant. Also found parking nearby so that was a plus!
Wow! Great Mexican food around the corner.
One of our favorite place in Saint Henri!
Very disappointed with this place as prices have gone up significantly, and portions decreased massively. The new small guacamole for take out is tiny, and the bags of chips even smaller. Just doesn t make any sense. Taste is still great, but very disappointed.
Fresh food, worth the price
Insane good
amazing food, decor and overall atmosphere:)
Probably one of my fave local restaurants in Montreal. Delicious food and friendly attentive staff. A gem in the city!
A must-see in Saint-Henri. Efficient service, good atmosphere and honest prices.
Craving a mexican breakfast ? Dont look anymore, just go to Frida and enjoy some nice chilaquiles ;) they often have promos oj drinks as well
Delicious pozole and tacos al pastor, just like Mexico, I loved it and delicious Micheladas
Some of the best tacos in Montréal! The service is great and always super kid friendly. Dont miss the birria if its on the menu!
Excellent place, authentic Mexican food. Great service and great prices too.
Very good, authentic Mexican cuisine.
If youre craving a a nacho plate with tacos, I totally recommend coming to this restaurant. My friend and I shared a nacho plate and Tacos Al Pastor with a jug of Horchata. We did order a bit too much but took the rest in a container. The beef nachos were really good, the tortillas had the real taste of corn and the plate was very generous in beef and guacamole. Also, the tacos did not disappoint, there was a good amount of meat and the mix of sweet/salty with the pineapple was just perfect. If youre hesitating on getting horchata, just do it ! It was such a perfect addition to the meal, it was light, flavorful, we drank it very easily, and it wasnt at all cloying. I would totally come back to try Fridas plates or even the quesadillas which looked quite tempting too.
an authentic taste of Mexico right in the heart of the city. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. The menu boasts a variety of tacos. Friendly staff and reasonable prices make the place a must-visit.
I got carnitas tacos and was full and happy after eating 2 out of the three. The horchata was perfectly spiced but a touch too sweet for my liking (though this didnt deter me from refilling my glass multiple times). The disappointment was the churros. I like them piping hot with a rich, tender, and almost custard-y interior. These churros were room temp and crunchy all the way through. Id still come here again because the main meal and service were both great. Dietary restrictions: Safe for those who have peanut and nut allergies!
Great decor, amazing Margaritas, and the tacos were delicious. Best guacamole in the city.
Excellent Mexican restaurant price, portions, food, atmosphere... Margaritas....everything is perfect
Delicious!
