Mexican restaurant · Mile End

"Mexican cuisine in Montreal can feel like it’s limited to tacos above all else, but that’s not the case at Maria Chavez’s Mile End restaurant. Cazuelitas (small, saucy plates in terracotta dishes) are the specialty — go for spicy, chocolatey mole, pork-stuffed poblano peppers with walnut sauce, or cactus gratin, and a range of margaritas on the side." - JP Karwacki, Ivy Lerner-Frank
