Viva Mexico - Montréal

We went to this restaurant, I, my wife and our 12-year-old boy. hoping to eat good Mexican food. Too bad! The service was very slow. Despite that we were only 5 customers in the restaurant. and this, on a Friday night! I ate a beef and cheese dish... except the big hair found in my plate, really! the meat was good, but very badly presented in the plate, except that the rice was extremely soft and viscous. My boy ate a dish with very dry and hard chicken rolls. accompanied by a rusty salad and raw tomatoes that were too wally... They were not fresh! I stop there for the dishes! The lady left by saying to the young lady... you're lucky to have had a tip. A real vaudeville comedy. We are in Montreal...There are other restaurants!.

This place is a Gem. Food is magnificent. Decor is not 5 stars luxury, but price, service and quality of food are 5 stars.

Although a bit out of the centre, this authentic, quality driven resto with a chef from Guanajuato is a local gem we plan to go back to soon. Very generous dishes are presented with a personal touch and there is a real sense of client consideration. Tasty ingredients and sauces are a big step above the regular Mexican restaurants one usually finds. Varied Mexican beer, wines are also available. Easy street parking is another plus, and it is not too far from the Jean Talon market. A visit well worth your while and budget! Buon provencho!

Yesterday afternoon, I dropped by for a snack of shrimp tostadas.

Just had the Chilaquiles at Viva Mexico. Fantastic, having flashbacks of Oaxaca. Will be back for dinner soon!
