We are a traditional taqueria that opened its doors in 2015.Our mission is to represent the best of Mexico through its street cuisine, especially tacos. We showcase the diverse regions of Mexico with offerings like Al Pastor tacos from Mexico City, Birria from Jalisco, Rib Eye from Monterrey, Rosarito tacos from Tijuana, Carnitas from Michoacán, and many more.We prepare our guacamole fresh every day and stone-grind our corn to make tortillas and other masa derivatives daily, seven days a week.We nixtamalize the corn by adding an alkaline solution (lime stone), and we take pride in honouring this millennia-old tradition. Our heirloom corn is imported straight from Oaxaca and other southern regions of Mexico.Additionally, we are affiliated with Terroir.mx, a private import agency that has been working with SAQ since 2011 to bring you exceptional liquors from Mexico. Enjoy our selections of Mezcal, Tequila, Sotol, and other agave distillates.

    Wonderful Mexican food!! We did not expect to find such yummy Mexican food all the way up in Canada. However, this was as good if not better than the Mexican food we get in California!!

    I really can’t imagine a more exceptional dining experience. Room, service, music, and vibe all work in concert to provide a welcoming, comfortable experience. The food and service were exceptional. Plenty of information without seeming burdensome. Honestly one of the finest meals of my life. Opted for the 5 vs. 7 course tasting menu and could not regret more. Will absolutely return to this restaurant. For clarity sake, I reside in Alabama, US. Will return to Montreal, I in part, because I must dine here again. Food which spoke to me like a childhood memory. Made me dance like music. Amazing.

    Food was amazing in small portions. Tres leche cake is a MUST try. Service was very good. The only annoying part was that we had to wait for a minimum 20min even though we made a reservation.
