Review from Helen Adilia A.

FUN FUN FUN!
The food was great. I love a good location with great eats. Nacho libre is always a great place to grab a beer and eats some great nachos.
I love going when I'm in the neighbourhood! -
Review from Rawan K.
I had a great time here! I gulped away some amazing mojitos and margaritas made by the friendly, cool, and energetic staff! They were delicious, strong, and ice cold - a great way to put out some heat after a beautiful (almost summer) day! The chicken and beef tacos were fantastic! The music was cool, I was diggin' the selection from start to finish... especially when I was feeling a little tipsy and swinging away on the coolest bar seats known to mankind. Putting everything else aside, I would come here JUST to do this over and over again. As Mark G. said, it brought out "the kid in me"!
I'd love to come here again, however it's a little out of reach so I don't see it happening too often. But I'd love to when I get the chance again!Listed in: Pubs/Bars, Late Night Drunchies

Review from Mark G.
The kid in me absolutely LOVED eating while swinging (in a swing chair... geez... minds out of the gutter!) But the geriatric in me, the one who enjoys foods that he can just pick up and eat (with hands or cutlery) without having to pick off bones or connective tissue was not pleased at all.
Had the steak burrito and, while tasty, all was lost when I bit into one piece that my teeth couldn't get through - and they're all mine, and in good shape.
Arg. In other news, I expected more (in the literal and figurative senses) for my money but thanks to the edible parts of my Nacho Libre meal, (and, of course, the swings!) I left satisfied enough.
Arriba (though sans-exclamation.) -
Review from Mathieu B.
Roxboro, QC
The food, the service, the size, the ambiance, the music! All really good. The Tacos are pretty good. here's the thing, taco are usually thos crispy Old El Paso taccos, now, for once, we got the real thing with lot of sauce and seasoning. Pretty good! Every single one of them. As for the bar, well, it was pretty full so they were working drink 2 hours non stop! pretty rock n roll. Amazing drink, not expensive. So it was pretty cool to get a nice evening there. The place has a cool bunch of vintage clip of American Gladiator, and some pictures of Nacho Libre. There's a big love for the Kitsch there. For me it's very kitsch but in a fun way.
I want to got back there, the food was really good drinking food plus there's a very good ambiance. So overall, really nice spot for food ans boozing. -
Review from David L.
Montréal, QC
I like this place and I'm not that easy to please. The vibe is cool what with the couches, swings for chairs, and friendly atmosphere. Yes, that is what I said. Swings for chairs. Brilliant idea. Great colors, and posters of awesome Mexican wrestlers. The wrestler that dresses in a Panda outfit is the best. When I arrived they were playing rockabilly, which immediately sold me on the place. Food was good and so were the drinks.
The staff were cool and fun.
This is a great place to take anyone, but especially people from out of town as it is very unique. It is also a must for duck hunt and other retro video gamers. They have an ATARI, NINTEDO, and SEGA system in the back with a couch and a big screen tv.
Awesome. -
Review from Scott T.
Westmount, QC
Came in. Sat down. Waited for service to come by the table for 15 mins. Then I started to try and guess who worked there... I had a dredlock dj and a kid in desperate need of a shower, sporting a baseball hat to choose from. So I waited to see if anyone was going to do something. The dj was just standing there before his set? And Mr scabies/Baseball hat boy/ cook? Started to get something going on the grill. Here's the problem, this same baseball hat kid was blocking the entrance while smoking a cigarette outside. Did he bother to wash his hands after chilling with his buddies? No. So if ur food had a hint of nicotine, now you know why. At that point we just left. We were too hungry to wait around any longer or be served such appalling food. No history, respect or culture for Mexican food here. It was a major disappointment.

Review from Vic F.
Nacho Libre is one of my favorite flicks, so we HAD to check this place out!
First, the decor - yes, it's all about Nacho Libre with not only images of masked wrestlers on the walls, but the taps were masked too. Several of the tables have swing chairs, suspended from the ceiling by chains. And there were TVs all around, first showing Ghostbusters, and then old-school American Gladiator.
Second, the food - we had Pastor Tacos & a Chorizo Burrito. The tacos were delightful -- small in size, but several come in an order so it's cool, accompanied by a tower of salsas and flavored oils which made it a fun culinary experience. The chorizo burrito was outstanding, the tortilla was warmed to a slight crisp, well-balanced flavors, and very satisfying. It's worth noting that we had originally tried to order things in reverse (Chorizo Tacos & Pastor Burrito), but we followed the bartender's recommendation and switched it up. We were not disappointed!
Third, the beer - well, they had several beers on tap, but no IPA. We settled on a Pilsner that was mediocre, at best. It didn't detract from the overall experience too much, as we enjoyed the atmosphere and food tremendously! -
Review from Risa D.
The salsa verde nachos with sausage are delicious, I'll give you that. The red walls and giant luchador posters and swings and couches are cozy. The DJ mixing at 6pm on a Friday: appreciated. The unfortunate twist? Steak gristle in the otherwise tasty vegetarian burrito. You don't want that, especially not at $13.
We agreed we'll probably be back though, because so much of our experience was a win: affordable drinks, cozy, nachos, music and the overall unpretentious (if a little haphazard) cuteness of the staff, guys and girls.Listed in: North of Van Horne, Drinks with the Ladies, Mexican in Montreal

Review from Wade V.
Great spot, with a Mexican wrestling theme (Lucha Libre).
The location is very convenient, easy to find parking, the interior is cool, they have these hanging swings for the 2 seater tables and a mix of leather sofas, and tables throughout the rest of the bar. Very relaxed atmosphere, a good mix of drinks and the food was probably the best Mexican food I've had in Montreal.
I've been to Mexico a number of times and this is as close as it gets. The Nachos were great, I had the ones with Chorizo and steak meat, and the tacos were awesome too.
Good selection of beers, from the typical Mexican variety, to the locals and ones like Stella. Prices were great, and will be a definite repeat in the near future.Listed in: 5 a 7 hotspots, Montreal Resto's

Nice and friendly staff: Check!
Great ambiance: Check!
Excellent music (a clever mix of rock and pop): Check!
A lot of wide screen TV to watch the games: Check!
Delicious nachos: Check!
Refreshing mojitos: Check!
Looking for a nice little casual place to chill and have a drink with a few friends? Nacho is where you'll want to go.
If you happen to walk by quickly on the sidewalk in front of Nacho Libre, you might not notice anything "special" as the bar it is stuck between a take-out sushi place and an animal shop... Although anyone who steps inside could easily fall in love with this little Rosemont "bar de quartier".
What makes this spot so charming, besides its lack of pretentiousness, is its decor. The Nacho's red painted walls are plastered with posters of luchadores (masked lucha libre wrestlers) each of whom have a character name and description; at first glance, they might seem tacky but these funny characters who grow on you do give a lot of personality [and... errr... punch!] to the venue. The second decor element that hits the eye is the row of swings in the middle of the bar! That's right, in addition to the loungy sofas, the more intimate round upholstered booths, the typical bar stools and little round wooden tables, four sets of swings are suspended from the ceiling (very interesting if, say, you were looking for a place to meet a blinddate as the environment offers a lot of conversation starters).
