Paradis Montreal

Cute little place with Latino music and cozy vibes! This place serves authentic Mexican food with a very lively ambience for friends and family! The Cactus Tacos were something I tried for the first time and I was thoroughly impressed. The quality of food was supreme and the drinks were pretty good too! I loved the fact that it was more Mexican than Tex-Mex which allowed me to experience a totally unique flavour profile than my "Tex-Mex" understanding of the cuisine. The endless tortilla chips were the cherry on the cake!

The drinks were strong and tasty. First time tried crickets was great the taste of all the delicious sauces covered the taste. Great experience, service was friendly and very attentive. Music and atmosphere on point.

Why is this place not raved about more?!?! We accidentally stumbled upon this place after our dinner choice for the evening got fully booked up but I couldn't be more thankful! The vibes are warm and inviting and the staff and patrons have a lot of love to give towards the food here! It was a happy accident that we went for $2 taco night but they definitely did not skimp on the quality of these tacos! Every single taco on the menu is bursting with flavour, and that is before you even add any of the sauces and pickled onions that came with the free(!) Chips! The owner lovingly explained the purpose of each of the homemade sauces and pickled onions as well as the flavours to be found in each of their vastly different tacos! We tried one of each in the menu and we were not disappointed! The tacos al pastor will forever be our favourite! We ended off the night with piping hot churros and chocolate! Delicious 🥰

Really really really tasty authentic Mexican cuisine. Service and people were just amazing and the ambiance is unbelievably good! I highly recommend. They offer a nice terrace on Saint Denis street too.

Omg, what an amazing place to go! We went a Wednesday night and we found tacos $2 and they were really tasty and delicious... And the best part is that they offer a good selection of flavors for that price. We took the margarita and let me tell you, it was one of the best we've ever taken!! The waiter was helpful and kind. For sure we will return!

This is an amazing birthday, date and friend hang out spot. They had a great live musician. The service was warm, patient, and friendly. The food was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious! I had to take my time to enjoy all the flavors. Part of the food decor was edible flowers that enhanced the deliciousness. I can't wait to go back to discover the rest of the dishes on the menu

We had a couple of drinks (Mojito Mangue, mojito, tequila and margaritas), an assorted platter for two and some tortilla chips with sauce. The food and drinks were pretty good but a bit overpriced. The terrasse was nice too. The servers were nice however, one spilled a shot on my friend and also didn't bring out one of the drinks we had asked. They also gave us a bill that wasn't ours and double charged us for drinks.

Amazing restaurant!! Live music when we came on friday night around 9:30. Delicious food, great service, good portions. Will be back :)

Great authentic Mexican food. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere with live music. The mole dish was exquisite. Great drink selection, great live music, delicious food. Need I say more? If you're looking for authentic Mexican food. This is the place!

Happy hour Sangria and margarita was on the weak side, Tasted like juice and water. We ordered fish ceviche which was like half my knuckle, a house salad which came with 2 chopped lettuce leaves and a couple of pieces of sliced mushroom. 4 variety tacos that had about 2 table spoons of meat all together, lots of beans to cover that fact, wasn't very good, and the shrimp in an avocado bowl, also small but the best thing we had there. We asked for the tortilla soup which we claimed from this checkin but that never came out. Don't order happy hour, they skimp. Server was nice enough, at least the English speaking one was, but there are way better places to eat in the area.

What a great little place with amazing deals most nights of the week! We each started with a margarita - from 5 to 7, you get two drinks for $10! It was tasty. We shared the hummus ranchero, which was interesting. It was like a chunky black bean dip. I loved the fish and shrimp taco plate - very flavourful and filling. My husband had 4 tacos - they were tasty but pretty small. We really enjoyed the salsas and peppers that were served with the meal. The spicy items added a nice kick to the meal. We finished with the fried ice cream, which was excellent. Service was very friendly. One knock is that there is no interior door, and it was cold near the front of restaurant as people went in an out. I will definitely be back during the week to try the many specials!

A restaurant with a happy hour to kill: what a delight. Truth be told, this is the reason I come back to Paradis. A margarita for $5 is probably as close as I'll get to American happy hour standards in this city and I take full advantage. The service, I must disclose, is hilariously all over the place. My only experience with these guys is having them come take my drink order and then disappearing for an eternity. They'll be back in a few weeks with my margarita and then in another few weeks they'll be by to take a food order. Needless to say, be sure you're not in a rush. The food never really impresses but it's definitely a big step up from a lot of the Tex Mex you find in Montreal. I really appreciate how much cactus they incorporate into the menu. Also, there's like a gizillion things to eat here. Finally, the space is something else. You'll always recognize Paradis by it's eclectic exterior- the interior lives up to this hype. Everything in here seems like it was kinda slapped together with some plywood, paint and tape but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Such a fun atmosphere on Saturday at 8pm. A group of 6 of us went to Paradis because we wanted Mexican food. They had a live singer and piano player and the atmosphere was fantastic! Everyone was dancing - yes, even the guests! The food was phenomenal - perfect portions and flavour. I wish I lived in Montreal so I could go often!

Colors and flavors! The outside terrace is very cozy and cute for a 5@7 or a catch up sesh after work! It's also super convenient - 2 min from Mont-Royal metro!

We were craving some Mexican food so we decided to stop by on a rainy evening. The restaurant itself is very easy to spot due to the colorful theme. They have some outdoor space but since it started raining we ended to sitting indoors. Had the guac and chips, along with some drinks from the HH menu. Everything was good.

ATMOSPHERE: You'll have no problem spotting the restaurant as you're walking down the street. It's super colorful both inside and out. FOOD: The food was pretty good! All the way from the appetizers to the desserts. We ordered 4 for 10$ tacos (one of each flavor offered) and they were all yummy. It was my first time having cactus which was surprisingly good! The sharing plate was good as well. Some items were a bit too bland for my taste. However, their jalapeno poppers and quesadillas were delicious. PRICE: Prices are decent. They often have specials for everyday of the week which is cool. And they always have their 5 a 7 drink deal (2 for 10$). The only downside to this was that we couldn't split the deal between two people which I found ridiculous. SERVICE: The staff was very friendly. Always there to assist you and make sure that everything was to your liking.

We were walking on st denis street to find a terasse because finally it was sunny and 14 degrees celcius in Montreal. But they were all full. Finaly we arrived in front of Paradis Montreal and checked out their menu and it looked very good. They had the special 2 cocktails for 10$. We also ordered empanadas, calamari and the fish and shrimp tacos. It was sooooo good!!! Amazing place with nice latin music!

We popped into this bar/restaurant in our first day in Montreal. It had seating outside which gives plenty of opportunity to people watch on Rue St. Denis. The meal was a simple one of fish tacos and was tasty especially the tempura shrimp. Yes the 2 for 1 sangria could have been a bit better but it was refreshing and hit the spot.

This restaurant was so fun and entertaining with the live music and everyone getting up to dance. The food was amazing, and it displayed authenticity from it decor to the ambiance. I would defiantly recommend trying this place if you're looking to have a joyful night.

Had a great meal here with my family. Everything we had was terrific. The tacos (chorizo & queso), the quesadilla, the chicken wrap and the sangria were all terrific hands down. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because the wait to get drinks & place our orders was a bit long and the band was a bit loud. I won't be too hard on them though because they seemed to be operating with a small staff. If I could give them 4 1/2 stars I would. Definitely recommend this place & I'd definitely go back.

My friend and I had some time to kill before an appointment and we hit this spot just as it opened for the night. It was DELICIOUS!!! We ordered guacamole which might have been the best I have bet had. The Gordita is perfect for a little bite and the margarita was more than perfect. A def must stop!!!

I've been searching Montréal for Mexican food and came across Paradis. The food is different than what you will find in most traditional establishments in the city. It's part fusion, but wholly inspired by Mexico and the Caribbean. For dinner we had the choriqueso, tacos pastor, and enchiladas de molé. All of it was really good. Thoroughly enjoyed the various salsa as well. Good service! A hidden gem on St-Denis.

Terrific food, very reasonable prices. The tacos are terrific. I had the Al Pastor and chicken tacos (4 for $10); my husband had the fish and shrimp tempura tacos. They were all outstanding.
