Review from Veena V.

In town for a conference, my sister and I took a break to walk around Montreal on Friday afternoon. On our way back, we wanted to grab a quick dinner before the evening sessions started. We happened up on this restaurant on our long walk back. Albeit skeptical at first because of their external decor (as others have noted!) that includes a laminated menu pasted on their door, we decided to give it a go. I'm glad we did.
Food
We both ordered the champignon (mushroom) tacos. A little while later, the waitress brought each of us a large plate that had 4 tacos with a side of refried beans and a green salad.The mushrooms were sauteed and flavored perfectly, topped with a yummy cheese and laid on a tasty corn tortilla. The refried beans were served with a little bit of grated cotija cheese and the salad was lightly dressed. Both were simple but tasty.
If you know me, you know that I'm a vegetarian taco snob, so finding tacos that I can rave about is something I don't take lightly!
Service
Our waitress was a local student from the university was really sweet, chatting with us and helping us with directions to the metro. ( The owner was also a sweet and smiley woman!)
Other thoughts
If you are a vegetarian who likes mushrooms, these tacos will do the trick! There are also some other items on the menu if you aren't in the mushroom-y mood. They also have a ton of tequilas and drinks on the menu that looked delish! -

This was my very first meal upon landing in Montreal and getting settled at my hotel.
It was quiet for a Wednesday afternoon and we were seated quickly. The waitress did her best to switch to English since we knew no french.
I had the Carne Asada tacos, my husband had pork tacos. The rices that came with each dish didn't seem like the kind you would get at a mexican restaurant but it was still good.
They were alittle slow to get us the check and the prices were alittle steep but we were happy with our experience.
Give Tequila Tacos House a shot. -

disorganized service (several mistakes and problems)
Dry and loveless tacos for $13
stodgy greasy chips with oversalted guacamole
A cheap looking plastic menu with cheap tasting plastic food.
AVOID! Go to Grumann. -

Can't say I agree with previous reviews. I found the tacos lacked taste / spice, and the service was very slow. Sure it is a cheap eat, but for good Mexican food I would go somewhere else.
Maybe I caught them on a bad night? Still don't think I will go back. -

Great little spot. It's certainly not fancy, but it isn't priced fancy either. In a montreal world of 3 Amigos and Mesa 14 this place pretty authentic. The food was tasty and the drinks were really good.
I would go back! -

Great tacos. After reading all the other reviews we thought we would give this place a try. Don't judge a book by its cover comes to mind when you see the storefront. Walking up to it we were at first skeptical that this place would have yummy tacos-- it looked run down and dark..
The tequila tacos were great, fresh salsa made it pop. The guac and chips were good as well.. Freshly made chips and guac. The carnitas were good as well. -

A small place on the corner of Sherbrooke and St Laurent, it has a nice laid back atmosphere. I've been twice and enjoyed it both times, but they changed the menu between my two visits, and they no longer have the fish taco on the menu, but it is still available in limited quantities if you ask. Good value a little bit south of the busiest spots on St Laurent.

Wow... What a pleasant surprise!
My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Tequila Taco House because we were staying at the nearby Hilton Garden Inn. All I can say is THANK GOODNESS we found this delightful little restaurant.
I absolutely LOVE Mexican food - authentic Mexican, not Tex-Mex, and Tequila Taco House is the real deal!
I ordered a burrito and my boyfriend ordered enchiladas, I believe. His enchiladas had a wonderful spicy kick to them, and my burrito was awesome. The meat was perfectly seasoned, and everything was well-prepared.
The food is a bit on the pricey side, but you definitely get a more than generous portion of food. -

Searching for an authentic Authentic Mexican restaurant in Montreal--- look no further! Great food fantastic service and Salsa I'd wait an hour for.
Plus for veggie lovers, staff is very accommodating and will substitute beans in most dishes for you. -

Decent Mexican food in Montreal? Yes way! It may be, by default, the best Mexican restaurant in Montreal. I have very high standard when it comes to Mexican food, having spent 3 years in California.
The food was quite flavorful and felt quite authentic. I had the beef fajitas. Our waiter was very nice and attentive although he messed up my order. Anyhow, I will be back whenever I have a craving for Mexican food. -

This place was pretty good. We got burritos, and they were tasty. I do wish that they'd had a fan or some AC or something, because it was hotter than hell in there and I could see an AC unit that they weren't using in favor of opening the doors (which didn't do much because it was just as hot outside and there wasn't a breeze), but I'll still go back for a burrito occasionally. We didn't drink because it was too hot, but if their margaritas are any good, I will definitely come here every once in a while for a Mexican fix.

These little hole-in-the-wall places are very easy to by-pass when looking for a nice place to eat. If you skip over places like this, you can often miss out on some good food, so after passing by this place over the past several weeks, I ventured inside.
I decided to go with the tacos banderos or aka their version of fish tacos made with marlin and a serrano pepper, onion, and tomato salsa. The meal comes with 4 tacos, though these are smaller versions of their larger cousins. You get to choose 2 sides from rice, salad, or re-fried beans. The tacos were supposed to be served with 3 sauces, but I only got 2.
I'm not sure the fish tacos rate 4 stars, but I think they were better than 3 stars, so I'm giving them the higher of the 2 ratings. -

Absolutely terrible.
I just went there for take out and got the chicken fajitas. I waited for an hour for my food, and was given free taco samples while I waited. This put the edge off of waiting a little bit. I get home, extremely hungry and ready to eat the chicken fajitas I once loved from this place.
I unpack the bag and see they forgot to give me my tortillas. I call and complain, the manager says he's too busy to talk and I politely said that next time just give me a double order of tortillas. I finally opened the fajita packaging and took a bite of chicken. It must have had a pound of salt on it. It's actually inedible. There was no presentation to the food, and the only side was old rice and beans.
I'm extremely disappointed with this place and the price isn't justifiable at all. -

Excellent Mexican food! As close to the real thing as I've found in Montreal, it's decently priced and the staff is super friendly. Also very fast service.

Since coming from San Diego, CA, my husband and I have hunted for authentic Mexican food in Montreal. After going to Carlos & Pepe's (worst Mexican food ever, even the salsa was terrible), and then 3 amigos (marginally better), we didn't have much expectation for this place, even though it was highly recommended.
The location is very easy to find, as it is next to Lolita's, and the decor was all right. We ordered taco pastores and a carne asada burrito. Although the taco pastores was decent, the sauce tended to be a bit on the sweet side, the carne asada burrito was terrible. First of all, a real carne asada burrito does not have rice in it. Rice is simply a filler so that they can give you less meat. Also, the meat was not properly marinated, so the meat was not at all tender & flavorful like a real carne asada burrito is supposed to be. The one really good thing was their spicy salsa, hands down.
Finally, the price for the dishes was a bit much for the amount of food that you get. We ate dinner around 7, but got hungry at around 9:30...its totally not worth the price you pay. We're probably not going to go back and will still continue looking for a real Mexican restaurant. -

This is the best Mexican food I've had in Montreal, and I know what Mexican is supposed to taste like, I'm from New Mexico. Everything is made in house, including the superb tortilla chips. The guacamole here is fresh and the chile is delicious. This place puts 3 Amigos to shame and it's open until 4am.
