Old Montreal Restaurants React to Anti-Curfew Riot | Eater Montreal

"In an Instagram post after the unrest, the restaurant on de la Commune said its windows were smashed and published a translated message acknowledging frustration over the curfew but condemning violence against already‑suffering businesses: it noted understanding of the anger but said, 'We share your anger. But it’s the arguments behind that anger that should be in the news this morning, not your acts of violence,' and called for solidarity and resilience." - Valerie Silva

All-Tartare Chain Küto Opens in Griffintown, Montreal | Eater Montreal

"Across from the Old Port on de la Commune I came across a new Mexican restaurant taking a mostly classic approach, featuring tuna tostadas and chilaquiles and focusing on tacos—choices include al pastor, pulled-pork-like cochinita pibil, chorizo, lengua, and nopales—plus cocktails to accompany the menu." - Tim Forster

Food was decent. It’s in a very touristy part of Montreal (Old Port) so parking is very challenging. Tacos were tasty and I had the spicy margarita which was also yummy. One of our tacos had a crispy tortilla which was hard to eat. But overall the fillings were good. Service could be better. It wasn’t that busy but because we were sat in the basement, our server forgot about us.

Last Saturday, I visited La Catrina accompanied by my wife, with the expectation of a dining experience consistent with the establishment’s positioning. As an international businessman and Commander of the Republic of Brazil and France, I frequent restaurants across different countries and cultures. I know how to recognize excellence and, unfortunately, I also recognize when it is absent. Upon informing the hostess that we did not have a reservation, we were received with evident impatience. The communication was conducted in a rushed and discourteous manner. When we asked for clarification, an inappropriate remark was made suggesting that we did not speak English, which caused immediate embarrassment. Hospitality is respect. And respect is not optional. Being escorted to a small and uncomfortable table after the incident further reinforced the feeling of disregard. We chose to leave. I do not question the cuisine I question the standard of service. Service is the first commitment of any restaurant that aspires to be a reference. I hope management reviews its service protocols. The experience begins at the reception. Sincerely, CDOR.

La Catrina in Old Montreal serves lively, authentic Mexican cuisine with generous portions and bright flavors. We were a party of eight and every dish impressed someone at the table, from the smoky salsas to the perfectly seasoned tacos. Friendly service, a warm atmosphere, and steady pacing between courses made it a great spot for a relaxed group meal.

Loved this place! The vibe was beautiful, and I’d definitely recommend the vegetarian tacos - they were actually really good (though I’d seen some mixed reviews, for me they were not dry at all) Very enjoyable dish! Service was quick, and everyone there was super kind. My sister was a big fan of her beef tacos too. Plus, the portions were solid for the price. All around, a great spot! Ps. They brought water to the table almost immediately:)

Ordered the vegetarian quesadilla with huitlacoche. On the menu, it was listed as a starter, and I thought I'd have to order more food to complete my lunch. But it was such a generous portion, I could not eat any more. And it was delicious! The server was very courteous, too. Would love to come back on my next trip to Montreal

Had late lunch today and incidentally, it was taco tuesday!!!! The food was excellent. Had 4 pairs of fish, chicken, beef, and vegetarian tacos and everything was delicious. Personal favorite was the beef. The margaritas were excellent. The churros were bomb. Service was also top notch. Everyone’s so friendly. Highly recommended.

Yannick, our server was absolutely amazing. He explained the menu and guided us through a wonderful meal. He was attentive and hardworking taking care of the entire restaurant with no other help from front of house staff like a stud. The Al pastor and Baja fish tacos were amazing. We were here on a Wednesday for lunch. A must try!

The tacos were very small and were just ok. The guacamole starter didn't come out until we were half done our tacos, and I found it bland. There also weren't enough chips. The churros were definitely my favourite part of the meal, and they are probably the only thing I would return for.
