Montreal’s New Restaurant, Café, and Bar Openings, August 2022 | Eater Montreal

"Taking over the Avenue Lajoie space formerly occupied by Indonesian spot Uluwatu, this new Mexican restaurant prepares tacos (fish, al pastor, carnitas, birria, rib eye), enchiladas, mole and other traditional dishes, and offers cocktails such as margaritas, mojitos, micheladas and palomas; it operates Thursday and Friday evenings, Saturdays noon to 10 p.m., and Sundays noon to 5 p.m." - Valerie Silva

Mile End Pub Sir Joseph Shutters for a Do-Over Under New Owners — and Other Closures | Eater Montreal

"I learned that Bagetino’s, which primarily catered to Outremont’s Hasidic population, has closed its doors on leafy Lajoie Avenue to make way for a new restaurant." - Tim Forster

This Mexican restaurant leans towards upscale settings with dimmer lighting. There was a group in the upstairs private room that the staff was a bit more focused on, but there were no shortcomings with their service. I ordered the Enchiladas Suiza and really enjoyed the quality of the dish. The sauce was very balanced. The space is nicely decorated, I like the artistic skulls.

The Birria tacos were genuinely the best tacos I have ever had. I can’t wait to come back and order more. 10/10 recommend!

Today we celebrated in the private room in the second floor. What a great experience! The food was delicious and the staff was wonderful! Their attentiveness and kindness made our special night a wonderful memory. I highly recommend them. Great Margaritas!

Rented the second floor for a private event for mom's 60th, around 35 people. Andrea, Paola and the rest of the staff were wonderful in helping organize and providing everything we needed on the day of the event. The decor is already pretty and thus very little decorations were needed. Strongly recommend for your private events !

the waiter seemed very cold and felt like she was just dropping off the food didn’t really make the experience enjoyable as she was very unwelcoming… The place was beautiful, and the food was really good, but I feel like what would’ve made. The experience. More enjoyable was the waiter being enthusiastic, she was so cold and made us uncomfortable, she had no enthusiasm, seem like she absolutely hated her job

fantastic littlerestaurant, nestled in a residential area. Best tacos I have had in Montreal, and awesome drinks. Authentic Mexican food in an upscale but relaxed setting

​You should really check out La Gaviota. The birria and pastor tacos are incredible, they're packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. On top of that, Paola provides the best service; she's always so attentive and friendly. They also have an impressive selection of beers, wines, and cocktails. It's the perfect spot for a great meal and a drink with friends.

This place has a gorgeous terrace and was able to seat us immediately for dinner on a Friday. I had the mango mezcal margarita which was absolutely delicious! The vegetarian al pastor was super flavorful, and I was so happy to see a vegetarian take on this dish with marinated mushrooms instead of pork. We also got the tres leches which was probably my least favorite. It was a bit dense, and not as sweet as I expected compared to other versions of this dessert. After the quick service we got for our drinks and tacos, I regretted ordering it since it took around 30 minutes to come out. Overall definitely recommend this place for authentic, flavorful mexican food or a delicious cocktail.
