Emiliano’s - Old Montréal, Quebec

Please don't go here for tacos! I've had my fair share of tacos and these were really not good and extremely pricey! For our appetizer, we got the spicy crab guacamole...it was so-so; there was way too much mayo and pineapple. For our meal, we got 3 types of tacos. The ... 1st one we got were the lamb chops tacos..the lamb was not bad but it was covered with black beans...also, the overall flavour of everything combined just didn't work well together. We also tried their Rock lobster tail taco...little pieces of lobster (kinda expected)...but the worst part is adding tons of pineapple and kale to the mix...the pineapple completely over powers the taste of the lobster and the bitter taste of the kale makes the whole flavour combination very weird. Finally, the fish tacos, where do I begin. These were probably the worst out of the 3. First of all, the fish looked like it came from a frozen box of fish fillets and when we bit into it, it was quite dry. It was also extremely spicy so if you can't take spice, don't think about getting this! But the worst part of all was the lettuce they sprinkled on top, it tasted VERY old...kinda like the pre-cut lettuce you get at Subway. Overall, we were EXTREMELY disappointed at their food so we are very surprised to see all the good reviews they got. If you want good tacos, there's plenty of places in Montreal for that ...definitely not worth spending your money here! (P.S. we spent a crazy $100 for this meal!!) Read more

Great place! Delicious authentic mexican food. Unique on Montreal. Usually people think mexican food is hard shell tacos, nachos and burritos which all false. True mexican food are delicious tacos al pastor, quesadillas de flor de calabaza and mole. Emiliano's offers all this and more. Great to taste the real ... flavor of mexican cuisine. I had the crab guacamole and fish tacos. They were all delicious! Read more

Very nice ambiance! The spicy crab guacamole was delicious. The fish tacos were way better than the chicken ones. They were so crispy and delightful! We even tried the shrimp and lobster quesidillas which were OK. The service was fast and professional. The greeter at the door was super friendly!

Excellent atmosphere and amazing food! We discovered this place during our trip to Montreal. I had tacos here but my friends ordered different things and they all enjoyed their food. Will definitely come back!

Nice place to eat. Reasonably priced, good, clean food. They were fantastic with Gluten Free options and created a safe taco platter for my daughter who is allergic to sesame, tree nuts & shellfish. I would go back again.
