Mr. Azteca

Great birria and solid tacos al pastor. A bit on the pricey side at $6.50 per taco — definitely worth going on their special deal days if you can. I went on a Friday, so missed out on that. The margarita was underwhelming — couldn’t really taste the tequila. As for the nachos with chicken, they were tasty overall, but the big blob of mozzarella on top wasn’t ideal. Paid 5$ for the tiniest scoop of avocado.

We came to celebrate the Day of Mexico and the food was really good! Very authentic taste and fair price! The service was excellent, warm and cordial!

Oneof the best tacos I’ve had in Montreal. Their all you can eat deal on tuesday and wednesday is the best value if you can eat a lot!

So went for a night out with the boys at that restaurant, everything was nice, good service, very good food and a very nice place to sit with the family.. But i ordered 2 dishes, 3 beers and 2 churros and it came at 130$, at the time i didn’t think it through, but after that day i start thinking and my friend one paid 35$ and the other one around 60$ so i was like where did mine got so high up? So my advice to you if you go there is check your receipt! Very nice people over there but the maths dont add up

Went there for the all you can eat tacos. Such a good deal! Cocktails were good too

The birria tacos are top! It's the only thing I order when I come here. The flavour of the broth is so good you can just drink it by itself like soup. Add some lime and onions to make it better. The service is fast and the staff is nice as well.

Sooo they had this deal 25$ rounds of taco platter and lemme tell you we were eating these ups!! tried every type of meat they had and it just kept getting good!! absolutely devoured!

It was great experience. It's was mine and mine husband's first experience to have some Mexican dishes. These dishes blew our mind with their diversity and flavor. All dishes were amazing specially extra hot sauce which they served. Now this is our new place to visit for spicy food. Great experience and great staff 👍.

Get the birria!! and bring your vegetarian friends along, there are options for them too. Service is friendly but disorganized - order your margaritas as soon as you sit down and enjoy the terrasse.

Our first Taco Quest of the summer did not dissapoint.  We had absolutely perfect summer patio weather to go with excellent and authentic tacos accentuated with wonderful sauces and don't forget the mandatory margueritas!

Dos tacos pourfavor! I woke up with a craving... and that craving was for some real tacos. Not oldel paso but the real stuff. This place is located right under Jean Talon and well hidden, once found you know you're at a Mexican restaurant. Tacos come in 2.. and with that you can have a variety of them. I took the beef and chorizo taco. 1 word was delicious!:) As much as I wanted to try other thing my stomach couldn't handle it. But this place is a must to try with friends or family! Enjoy

C'est tres tres good. 4 tacos for $6, I had 2 marinated beef and 2 pork based on the super lovely waitresses recommendations. They were so juicy, so lovingly flavoured, so damn good. I slathered them with the green hot sauce which was definitely spicy but not like crying crazy hot and full of flavour. The room is bright and clean with Aztec art and TVs playing Mexican music videos. There is a fridge with sodas including a whole collection of the Jarritos including the tamarind one I love. The service throughout was so friendly and helpful and charming. You could definitely make more headway here if you spoke Spanish, but between English and French and Smiling everyone made themselves understood. Can't wait to go back, so good!!

We had a group reservation for 10 people and let me tell you this place is not equipped or staffed to accommodate groups. The waiter would take drinks or food order for 2 of us at a time, would run back to the kitchen and would come back 10 minutes later. Which resulted in some of us having our plates before others even placed their orders. They forgot 1 food order and 2 drinks orders. They also spilled salsa on my friend's coat and did not apologise or offered to help clean it up. Food was ok but everything was drowned in sauce and tasted pretty much the same. With so many good Mexican restaurants in Montreal, just avoid this one.

Good for a quick craving, and super convenient if you're in the area, however the food is very ordinary, and I wish the tacos were less bland.

Soooo delicious and well-priced! I wish it was closer to home. We sat on the patio and started with a pitcher of hibiscus tea - so refreshing! I had the enchiladas, husband had some tacos, someone else in the group had the birria soup. Everything was amazing! Service was very friendly and prompt. There is nothing not to like about this place!

Was craving Mexican food then came across this place. Pigged out on their $1 tacos (had Mexican Beef, Beef Tongue, & Chorizo Sausage) before & after our meal. The taco are small; 2 bites they are done but tasty. They provided 2 hot sauces; one a green lime chilly (mild) & a red chilly (hot) both really good. Also had a dish with fried black beans with Chorizo on top of a soft tortilla. This was amazingly tasty. The food & drinks (Orchada) were very good. The only complaint is the service was kind of slow. Especially after we finished our dishes, I waited quite some time before I ended up waving down a waitress for more water & tacos. 3.5 Star rating would be more accurate than a 4-Star.

I've been trying out several restaurants serving tacos lately and this place serves some of the best tacos in town. I ordered the pasteur and marinated porc tacos both are definitely a 10/10. The porc is tender and tasty, and the pasteur exceeds what I expect from a standard pasteur taco. I might not have the most precise words to describe Mexican food but if you are a fan of tacos, then this is the place to be! The location is about 5minutes walk from Jean-Talon metro in a nice small cozy place. For sure I'll be back!

Let me save you some time and money since I've been to many different Mex. restaurants in Montreal including this one, I've been to Mexico and my Mexican friends living in Montreal all say the same based on experience: the Food and service is not up to the standards, terrible! Drinks are basic. Theres other Mexican restaurants 100% better in Montreal such as "Escondite" try the Tacos, Gringas and order a "Paloma" cocktail' (Excellent restaurant decor, amazing ambience, food quality - Real Mexican- Plus the food presentation is beautiful & the service impaccable) the same goes go "La coin du Mexique", they have the best pozole in Montréal. Try "Tacos Victor"as well very good & different. "La capital" in Chinatown is amazing! A must go!

Okay first things first... I'm from California, so I'd like to think of myself as relatively knowledgable when it comes to tacos. And the one thing I have noticed off the bat here in Montreal is that places only use one tortilla for their tacos. Whyyyy?!?? Back in Cali (and of course, MEXICO), taquerias and taco stands alike make their tacos with two tortillas. This adds reinforcement and prevents the tacos--which are typically filled with lots of meat and drippings and sauce--from falling apart. Or, if you're like some of my friends, you can split the tortillas up and make two, less-filled and easier to manage tacos. It's practical. Anyways, so MR Azteca. The restaurant itself is super charming. Friendly service, an ambiance that reminds me of the Mexican joints in Los Angeles. I went for the "3 for $10" taco deal (it was a Friday), and ordered the steak, chorizo, and pork taco. Also ordered a coffee (I was sleepy), which came with a little touch of cinnamon, which was nice. In about 5 minutes my plate of tacos arrived, and like I've noticed with other taco spots, the tacos had one tortilla. So I was like okay, maybe this is a Montreal thing. I proceeded to dress my tacos (lime squeeze, dab of red sauce, dab of green sauce) and I picked up the first one (the steak I think). Not bad. It had some cactus is there which was interesting. Five bites and gone. Next up, the pork. Picked it up, and it starts the fall apart cause why? There was only ONE TORTILLA. Sigh. Well, I did my best to salvage the situation, which meant me looking somewhat like a hungry pitbull at dinnertime, but whatever. I'm pretty sure I enjoyed the taco. Third taco wasn't so bad, probably because I was extra careful this time. I'd say this place was good enough to try again, but maybe be extra careful with how I handle the tacos. Or maybe I'll just try the tamales. But what's the fun in that?

One of our Mexicain friends brought over tacos during the summer from Azteca and we devour them instantly. I was surprised at how simple details like the chopped onions and cilantro made such an important difference. Ever since we have gone to the small restaurant on Saint Hubert that has grown in size and notoriety. With dollar tacos on Tuesdays and Wednesdays it seals the deal. The best tacos in Montréal. My favorite El Pastor. I haven't eaten anything else as yet.

I dare you to find better, more authentic tacos in Mtl. Because seriously, this place is it! I was told by latino friends, this is where Montreal-Mexicans go for their taco fix. So I obviously went in with very high expectations. And I was not disappointed. The tacos are packed with flavour, spice and all that yummy taco goodness. Don't go in expecting those big fat American tacos, these are the typical small soft shell tacos that come with cilantro, lime and onion. I personally recommend the: Carnitas / Al pastor / Chorizo I also tried their lamb soup, which I was told was very legit, but to be honest not my cup of tea. All to say, this place rocks and is where it's at for tacos in montreal.

I have been a customer of this place for a long time, buti I promise not to go back ever again. Yesterday, we went for dinner and find the experience one of the most deceiving ever: Pambazos used to be the best in the Montreal area, now they are lousy. The bread is not fresh at all and the taste is unbearable. Gorditas are dry and excesively crusty. Too fried, perhaps. The breaded veal torta is excesively plain. No taste in it and the meat too rubberly. Tacos are tasteless and salsas are even worse. It seem to me as they have a new admisnitration and a new chef. Avoid going there.

Sooo effing good. Awesome deals, especially the 4 for $5 tacos. They are out of this world.

i think this is my new fave mexican spot. amazing flavors and more traditional. tasty and generous portions!!

if you want to try authentic Mexican food, Mr Azteca is definitely one of the best spots in Montreal. the place is grate for brunch, lunch or dinner. I step hoy recommend the huevos rancheros or the chilaquiles. tacos are also great. if you are into beer, make sure you try their michelada.

We've been on the hunt for a good taco place in montreal for a couple of years now and basically settled with matraca and taco Tijuana because we couldn't find anything better. But both places are a bit overpriced and limited in other ways as well. Azteca, on the other hand was perfect! Four tacos for $5 and you can mix and match. (That's half the price of the other two places and tacos were delicious!) Plus they have other specials depending on the day (e.g., $1 tacos), and offer other food (like enchiladas, burritos, tortas and quesadillas) but we might always come here on Fridays because the special that day is mole enchilada (emmoladas)! I cannot tell you how much I love that rich, sweet, chocolatey/spicy sauce on my enchiladas and the portion was huge. Total for a very filling dinner for two with tax and tip was about $30. Nice interior, too. Seems to be a local favourite because it was quite busy. I'm surprised there are not more rave reviews!

OK, OK, OK... I agree that a restaurant should receive 5 stars because it is hitting it out of the park on a multitude of factors: food presentation, the ambiance of the restaurant, the friendliness of the staff and, of course, the food. I am giving Mr. Azteca 5 stars because the tacos are so authentic and wonderful, who really cares about the other factors? Over the last several weeks, my husband and I have come here at least once a week with our girls for dinner. Not only are the tacos wonderful, the guacamole is marvelous, too! Our whole family eats here for less than $20 on Tuesdays' and/or Wednesdays' $1 taco nights. The service is really fast and very friendly and the restaurant is very kid-friendly. We are fans of the marinated beef and chorizo tacos. One caveat: the red salsa is unreasonably spicy. Therefore, we ask for only the ''salsa verde'' with our order; which I think you will find is still quite spicy. Now, we are making plans to come back one week-end morning for their breakfast/brunch specials. Thank you, Mr. Azteca, for bringing some wonderfully-delicious and extremely reasonably-priced Mexican authenticity to Villeray! By the way, Mr. Azteca was cash only, but as of today, the restaurant accepts Interact, too.

Came here on a cozy date in the snow. Super cute atmosphere. Authentic Mexican food with happy and friendly staff. Family owned with a real tight knit feel. Delicious food. Their horchata is excellent and all dishes come with chips and homemade salsas. Try the flan if you have room left!

We tried Mr. Azteca in advance of our daughters 1st birthday party and loved the food. Being from Texas, having lived in California, and after spending time in Mexico, I feel I know the difference between Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex, and true Mexican food, and what is good and bad in all types. This is the real deal and I can't stress enough how amazing the food is. Aside from that, Rosina, the owner, was amazing to work with, in getting my catering order together and was even fantastic with corralling and helping with my toddlers while meeting for my order. If you want awesome REAL Mexican food in Montreal and want a true family-run restaurant, this is your place!

Absolutely amazing. I wanted Mexican food and came across this place on yelp. I'm so happy we tried it out. Authentic Mexican food! Definitely will be back for their 1$ taco night.

Service was fast and very warm. Tacos were great. We had some kind of sandwich with beef inside as well. That was tasteless though and the cook didnt spread the red bean on the bread and didnt even cut it through..(I had to ask for a knife to do it myself) Maybe because he was in a rush because it was the last part of the soccer game but anywa I would have liked my sandwich not to suffer from it.

Worst tacos I've ever had. I get that they're only a dollar but honestly it seems like they would've have to put some serious effort in to make it that flavourless. Tasted like bits of pulpy cardboard and felt sick the whole next day. Never going back, worst $4 I ever spent.

Tiny little place but perfect for a small snack like on Mondays and Tuesday $1 taco night

Their tacos are so good! I recommend the marinated carnitas or barbacoa! If you wish to try this place, go on a wednesday when tacos are 1$ each. Also, their servcie is really friendly and the place has a nice mexican atmosphere to it! Recommend 100%!

We went during their 1$ taco night. While nothing was bad, nothing was great. I did find it better than the other 1$ taco place Ive been to (Impactaco) Was disappointed to see their Tacos al Pastor didnt contain any pineapple! My favorite was the Lengua (tongue) although it was lacking in flavor. I ate 8 tacos in about 5 minutes and was not completely full. At 1$ you cant go wrong but Ive had better so giving it 4 stars. Would I go back? Maybe not cause its far from my place, but if I was in the area I would. But honestly Im tired of all these taco places opening up years after tacos were already trendy!

Went here tonight with some friends. I had the beef Torta sandwich with cheese, it was really filling and delicious. We had a great time, friendly waitresses, good food, cheap prices what's not to like.

Very nice people and service. Excellent burritos, tacos and an amazing Sunday special (I had pozole, which was amazing).
