El Cactus - Montreal, Quebec

Great service, nice music, good cocktails. We stopped here just as a random pick on the road, but we were really impressed with the yummy food and cocktails. The Sunday menu is a set menu tapas style, highly recommended 👌

This restaurant has its good and bad. First of all, the margaritas are excellents! Sadly, the service is very bad. It takes so long to be welcomed, to order and to get the orders. (That was our experience, but the people next to us arrived after us and got everything so quick, ... they left before we had our meals. *we ordered tacos, just like them*) maybe they were the lucky ones or they were regulars… The food has a lack of flavor. It’s not bad, but it’s not “wow”. They could use more spices and tastiness. It is totally overpriced for what it is. The restaurant is very nice and well decorated. It is nice to look around and discover all the cute things everything. They have nice merch. Overall, I would not recommend. Read more

Honestly the best Tacos I’ve had this far. We got shrimp, chicken, pork and beef tacos, my personal favorite was the pork (Al pastor). Took a while which makes me think that everything is prepared from scratch. It’s also located next to the river, and in the summer you can sit outside. And on ... Tuesdays their Tacos are $5 each, perfect for if you want to give them all a try Read more

Good service, cool atmosphere, nice music. The food wasn't great. The best part of what we ordered were the nachos dos quesos. The tacos were 5$ each (it was tuesday), I took a Al Pastor which has pineapple and I normally love anything with pineapple but I really disliked this ... taco. To me, it was pretty bad tasting to be honest. I took a bavette taco, this one was the best out of the 3 I tried. And the third one I tried was the Pollo one, not great either. Read more

Probably the best Mexican restaurant in the Montreal and south shore region. Service was fast and friendly, drinks were refreshing and delicious, and everything we ate was irreprochable. There was a lineup of people prior to opening hours. Might want to plan ahead. Absolutely worth it.
