La Guadalupe Mexicain

Très bonne margarita, restaurant authentique. Belle ambiance. Le ceviche est particulièrement bon. Le service est très courtois mais parfois lent, de toute façon avec une ou feux margarita, on né s’y attarde pas :).

La bouffe est vraiment typiquement mexicaine. Pas de tex mex ou machin chouette mex. Les trucs au chocolat piquant sont excellent. J’enlève deux étoiles pour le temps de service qui est généralement très long. La siesta se prolonge pas mal he he. Par contre c’est une excellente place pour manger en groupe ! Les tables sont grandes et il y a beaucoup de tables et chaises. En plus vous pouvez prendre le temps de jaser avant d’être servis

DONT EAT THERE!
I never ate Mexican food that was so awful. Thank god that since I ate only two bites that she didn’t charge my plate. There was clearly no one in the restaurant and we couldn’t even choose where to sit. There was clearly no ambiance and the décor sucked. Super long service and super expensive.
For starters the chips that came with the salsa were stale but the two little sauces were good. We then tried the quesadilla which was basically a burned tortilla with only cheese and mushroom. It wasn’t good at all.
Then I had the tacos pollo, the chicken was disgusting and I don’t know how you can screw up that. The tacos shell was way to hard and it had cheese on it that looked reheated. The salad beside it was good and that’s about it. My boyfriend had the enchiladas and it was nasty.
I had a strawberry darquiri that was super expensive.
All and all I don’t recommend this place to anyone.

Excellent food. I enjoyed the chef salad and margarita. My kids loved the nachos and the quesadilla. The service was prompt and the portions were very generous.
I enjoyed the music and the decorations. It felt very comfortable.
I will definitely return if we have time.

I was born and raised in Arizona and I’ve been searching for a really authentic Mexican food restaurant since I moved here from San Francisco. I just came across this little place when I moved to my new apartment and thought I would check it out.
The service was a little slow but not bad, and the décor was nice and typical of authentic Mexican food restaurants I’d been to elsewhere. I ordered the vegetable enchiladas and they came in a really large portion that filled me up and could have been split between two people if they weren’t that hungry. My meal with a Pepsi ended up costing about $ 27 with tip.
The quality of food was OK and I would say it was authentic but the sauce was a little too tomato tasting, almost like tomato soup. The red salsa was especially tomato soup tasting and not what I look for in a good authentic salsa. The green salsa (salsa verde) was good but not the best I have ever had. In my experience the quality of salsa is usually a good indicator of the quality of the restaurant.
All in all it had a somewhat authentic feel but a little overpriced for what I got. Still probably one of the best examples of authentic Mexican I have experienced in Montréal. If this restaurant were in Arizona or San Francisco though, I wouldn’t eat there again because of all the better tasting and cheaper options.

Tres bonne cuisine 100% Mex.

Service exécrable. J’ai attendu 20 minutes pour avoir un verre d’eau et formulé la demande 3 fois. La nourriture est bonne, mais je n’y retournerai pas.

Voici une excellente adresse pour qui veut manger mexicain. Grand amateur du «mole poblano» (poulet au chocolat), j’ai été servi à souhait. Le décor et la musique nous mettent dans l’ambiance. Le personnel est attentionné et chaleureux. J’y retournerai assurément. Hasta luego!

Oh my, sooo amazing I found this place by accident and I stopped in, I couldn’t have been happier, authentic Mexican street food, can’t wait to go back, great food, great people

Vraiment un petit rayon de soleil dans le cartier, ambiance super chaleureuse. Le serveur était vraiment sympathique, la table d’hôte du midi né nous à pas déçu, nous avons bien manger et végé en plus (il y avais bien entendu plus de choix de viande que de végé). Mon refuge hivernal au cocktails coloré.

Best Mexican food in Montréal! I’ve been there a couple years ago. Authentic and fresh Mexican meals. The restaurant is own by a family. Expect the service to be long (and very long) but the wait is worth it!

A wonderful family owned business with great Mexican food. What a great find for a Saturday dinner. The place was nice and traditional, very welcoming. We were greeted at the door and seated quite fast. Lots of families and larger groups. We started off with nachos with Guacamole. The best re-​fried beans ever and I have had my share of Mexican food. My friend ordered the Burrito, she said was great, but really spicy. I had the chicken enchilada which was wonderful. The check was a total of 60 dollars including tip — forgot to mentioned that we order drinks a Tecate beer and a Strawberry Daiquiri. This is definitely not a typical Tex-​Mex restaurant, if this is what you are looking, then hit 3 Amigos, for you will be disappointed. The restaurant is located in a shady neighborhood but if you are craving a little of Mexico, then this place is a treasure. Next time I’ll try the Chiles Rellenos. :)

Is this what Mexican food really tastes like!!! La Guadalupe was suggested to me by a friend of mine from Mexico city, I kept asking him when he was going to make me real Mexican food and i guess one day he got tired of me asking so he recommended this place, saying it was the best Mexican restaurant in Montréal.
Let me start by saying that if you’re in a hurry you should go to Taco Bell. This isn’t a fast food kind of place, it’s a meal with friends kind of place. Everyone who works here seems to be family and if not family they have been working there for long enough to considered family. All this to say the service at Guadalupe’s isn’t fast but it’s still good service.
Now the reason why the service is a little slow as well as why the food here is so good. Nothing at this restaurant is pre-​made, everything is freshly made with fresh ingredients. I’ve taken a few people to this place and everyone leaves raving about the food.
The décor has a Mexican flavor to it, I guess? I’m not sure what Mexican décor is supposed to look like since every Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to looks the same, even in Mexico. You aren’t here for the look at the décor anyway, it’s about the food. So grab some friend and head down for a great night.

They got the concept right, even the service is slow, but the food is not quite there yet. The recipes seem close enough but the ingredients are not. The meat they use for the «tampiqueña» is not even close to what they serve in Mexico. But their micheladas are very good!

How long it took to find a decent Mexican restaurant in Montréal. Not «party» Mexican or Tex-​Mex garbage but a real Mexican establishment. Guadalupe, located in a stretch of no man’s land on Ontario (not quite Hochelaga-​Maisonneuve but not quite anything else either — must just be generic Centre Sud) is that place. No chimichangas or burritos on the menu but mole and chilaquiles. The food is good. The portions are large. And the cocktails are fantastic.
A caveat: Some restaurants you need to excuse the glacial pace of the service. This is one of them. It’s a family run place that’s pretty understaffed. Both times I’ve gone there have only been two people on the tables (and it’s a pretty large place that tends to have big groups). Both times we waited an exorbitant amount of time. If that bothers you, don’t go. It might ruin your meal. Probably not a good place for a first date unless you want to risk long, awkward silences when the conversations run dry. So it’s also not a great place to go if you’re famished. The obligatory batch of nachos that greet you aren’t refilled and won’t last long. But at least by the time the food arrives, you’ve built up enough of an appetite to take down the large portions.
