La Tamalera “haute cuisine de rue mexicaine” - Montreal, Quebec

The tacos are good—but the chicken mole tamale is, hands down, the BEST I have ever had. Brownie flan was also nice.

The food is delicious, the staff is nice and helpful but the atmosphere feels a bit off

So far I had the tortilla soup, watermelon salad, veg tacos (with hibiscus flower), fried fish and grilled fish tacos, torta de elote (cornmeal caramel cake with ice cream), dead bread, veg tamale 🫔 and esquite (corn and cream), guac with homemade chips, horchata, hibiscus juice, tamarind juice, veg open ... face sandwich and churros and more that I’m probably forgetting . The highlights were the soup and tacos and esquite but everything was yummy and worth trying. They have Ki Gourmet products like the dipping sauces and chocolate bars , all so good, I aspire to always have a different flavour in my fridge :) Read more

The fried shrimp tacos are to die for. La panure est légère et "on point" tout en laissant la place aux crevettes. Perfect crunchyness. With those fresh and tasty shreded pickled veggies on top...Just wow! And their homemade hot sauce...Also to die for. So flavorful! (Must be fermented habanero or ... something).The place is beautiful and the service is great. I don't often write review but this had to be written, I somehow became addicted to their tacos after the first try! Need my weekly dose now. Everytime I try an other place, I'm mad at myself: It's never close to be as good as Tamalera tacos. Just go. Read more

The food was very underwhelming, I expected alot more. The shrimp tacos tasted good but it was dry, the tamales were good but barely had any meat and was dry as well. The guacamole was flavorful but the price was too much for the quantity, $8.5 for that small ... bowl was not worth it. Overall, it was a different experience, the service was nice and quick but I wouldn't be coming back. Read more
