Café Cantina

Loved the Burrito ! I came with some friends to the next door pub, which doesnt serve food so we went to grab a bite and well this was next door. The food is not cheap 9 – 11 $ per dish but it is worth it. I had the Vege burrito and it was seasoned and spiced perfectly. If you like spicy food ask in advance mine was mild and altough it was huge it was so good I could have eaten another. If I am ever in the area again I will surely stop there.

Delicious Mexican. So much better than anything else around. Great for takeout, but the place is charming and is nice to sit down in as well. A must have in the area!

I have passed by this place many times and finally taken the time to stop and eat. The food was amazing! My husband had the huge burrito and I had the tacos. The waitress was very sweet and I’m glad we stopped in for a quick bite

Definitly the best burrito in Montréal! My fave is the butternut squash burrito but Pulled pork is also amazing. Worth the detour, friendly service, great art on walls, food soo fresh.

Best burrido in Montréal even if it is ridiculously expensive. Take what you can get. I often come here on the weekends after a morning at Allez Up. Good espresso too!

Everything we’ve tried is very good. Menu a little limited but so far excellent. Would love if they were open more often.

Dios Mio! Attention San Diego burrito shop owners, Café Cantina has landed in and offers a familiar flavor so hard to find in Montréal … Quesadillas are prepared with just the right amount of cheese and crisp to it. Guacamole is smooth and fresh. Seasoned Sweet Potato Tacos are devilishly yummy. Burritos come in one size — giiiaaaaant. All in all everything is made fresh to order so you won’t be disappointed.
My favorite lunch pick is the Spicy Burrito Carnitas with the perfect balance of rice, beans, meat, salad, tomatoes, guacamole and creamy sauce — delicious!
Owners Serge and partner Marianne lived in California for a while, operated a Mexican restaurant in France and have now carved nice niche in the heart of those seeking for the best burrito in Montréal. Stop by to satisfy your craving for the real deal — it’s only a few minutes from downtown!

Très belle place de mexicain dans le Sud Ouest. La seule chose plate est qu’il est rarement ouvert en dehors des heures de bureaux (aka le midi la semaine).
J’ai eu la chance d’y goûter durant une de mes journées de congé et ça fait du bien de goûter un burritos bien rempli et très épicé.
Leur spécialité et le naked burrito, qui est un burrito dans un bol. J’ai préféré y aller avec un burrito normal, car je suis un peu pudique.
Je recommande de l’essayer à tout le monde qui travaille dans le Sud Ouest ou pas loin pour avoir un bon met mexicain.

Best chicken tacos in Montréal Friendly service. Fresh food carefully prepared.

Enfin! Un bon café et resto mexicain rue Centre!
La Cantina est une petite place rafraîchissante dans le quartier. On y retrouve toute l’ambiance des taquerias californo-​mexicaines. D’ailleurs, les proprios, un couple bien sympas, ont vécu en Californie, près de San Francisco.
Et cela paraît dans leur menu: quesadillas nourrissantes accompagnées de salade légère, énormes burritos, chilis, enchiladas et autres délices mexicains.
La semaine dernière, j’ai essayé la salade de quinoa. Elle était É-​NOR-​ME et débordait de bons légumes croustillants et de fromage fêta. La vinaigrette était délicate et subtile. Le cocktail santé, composé de carotte, céleri, pomme et gingembre fraîchement pressés, était vitaminé à souhait et fortifiant. J’ai terminé mon festin avec un bon biscuit à la mélasse et épices. Le biscuit était frais, tendre et délicieux.
Je me suis laissée tenter par un suçon mexicain à la mangue et au chili! Le sucré-​acidulé du fruit dansait dans ma bouche avec le salé-​épicé du chili. Surprenant, mais tout à fait jouissif pour les papilles gustatives.
Le week-​end, il y a des brunchs. À essayer!

Nice one! I lived in San Francisco for 6 years and this is the closest I have found in Montréal to a real taqueria. Spicy sweet potato is rad and so is the verde. Thank you for filling a void in local cuisine!

A nice addition to the neighborhood! Pointe St-​Charles is not the place where you would expect a good taqueria, but it is! It’s owned and operated by a family that lived in San Francisco and got the idea from there.
Food is very good and fresh. They have «aqua fresca» only from time to time since the locals don’t buy it, so I am trying to mount a campaign, so if you go ask for it!

I had a cheese quesadilla that came with a nice plate with salad, salsa, nacho chips, a nice meal for under $ 10 !
