While certainly not the best Mexican I've ever had, 3 Amigos did its job on a recent weekday visit after arriving in Montreal. As a Texan, I hit the ground running looking for good Tex-Mex the minute we landed in town, and settled into a cozy booth at this low-key spot of Rue St. Denis. The margaritas were fine, and the taco salad was an interesting take on the traditional. A bit of a culture shock, but fine nonetheless. read more

Sorry, but I have to call it like it is on this one. Service pretty much sucked throughout our visit. The food was marginal. Also, we ordered a picture of sangria without cinnamon and it came loaded with cinnamon. And to boot, it was overpriced. read more

Really good Mexican restaurant in Old Montreal. They have an indoor and outdoor dining areas and the Mexican music is playing giving it a party, fun vibe. I had the Mexican Flag enchiladas and it was delicious but way too much food for me - especially silly after chowing down on the complimentary chips and salsa. My pina colada was yummy too If you're craving Mexican food give it a try. Parking is tricky downtown with all the construction and road closures. read more

Service was very slow, we arrived at 5:50pm ordered soda beer and nachos with guacamole. Nachos were good, guacamole was 1/4 cup for $4! The outside seating was so tight, I was push into the table, very uncomfortable and rude! We waited 15 minutes for check and server appeared to be annoyed! read more

The server was very nice, and the beer was really good. The portions are huge. But the salsa that came with the chips was more like bottled spaghetti sauce--not much flavor and not even a little bit piquante. As far as the main dishes are concerned, know before you go that they have no ranchero (red) sauce at all. Without going into more detail, I'll just say it was disappointingly unMexican, and take it off the list. i wish the news were better. read more

First of all, they give you a small serving of chips and salsa when you sit down, that is always nice, not a large portion but still, a nice touch. The salsa is not very spicy. I went for the $0.89 taco special. I ordered a beef taco and a chicken taco. They come in a crispy taco shell and the taste was not bad. I liked the chicken better...it had a nice tangy seasoning to it. But they have not been as good as other $0.89 tacos I've had before, so based on this experience, I think I will look for other cheap eat deals in Montreal. read more

Having stayed in California for good number of years, I have had my fair share of great Mexican food. Unfortunately, Montreal is not blessed with good Mexican food and 3 Amigos is no different either. Don't get me wrong, I love this place and this is one of the better places in the city to have Mexican food but it's just not authentic unfortunately. However, I really like their salsa that comes with the chips. To be honest, the chips and salsa are always the highlight of my visit to this place. The fajitas are also good (in Montreal standard). They used to have good deals on certain items pre-pandemic but since the pandemic began, they cancelled those deals. :( Last but not the least, the stuffs are great and they really try to make you feel welcome! read more

Went there for a friends birthday back then. Atmosphere was really good and we got amazing services even tho I personally haven't been well surprised by the food quality was ok but nothing really special read more

Not much to say, just really great tacos and a fun, party atmosphere in the restaurant. Definitely a must-try in Montreal.

After spending what felt like an eternity trying to find an open spot on a patio - on a Thursday night, no less - we finally found ourselves seated at 3 Amigos. Before I get into the food, I have to just say that the service was nothing short of atrocious. Our waiter would disappear for long stretches of time, and I do believe we waited a good half hour to order our food. (Another couple wasn't quite as patient as us, as they left before even receiving complimentary water.) But I digress. We started out with free nachos and salsa, and I'll admit I was extremely surprised by their quality. Though the salsa was almost totally lacking in spice, it's clearly homemade and boasts a healthy assortment of finely chopped ingredients. It's actually rather addictive, especially when coupled with the crunchy nachos. For my main, I went with the Chicken Enchiladas ("Two soft corn tortillas with melted cheese and red sauce. Served with mexican rice, refried beans and salad.") It's fine. The quality is slightly higher than Taco Bell, but not by much. The whole thing is a kind of flavorless mush of cheese and refried beans and meat, and on that level it's perfectly edible. (It would have been nice if it had arrived to the table hot, though.) The rice tastes like a generic mix and the salad was almost entirely lacking in any kind of dressing. 3 Amigos is definitely the kind of place where you go to hang out with friends and chill on the patio. The food is an afterthought, it seems. read more

Came in with my group of 9 on a Saturday afternoon just before the rush. We were seated promptly and well attended to throughout even as the restaurant started to get busy. Food here is AMAZING; not a single complaint from any of us. Portion sizes are huge, prices are modest. The lamb burrito I ordered came with a mini salad in a mini crunchy tortilla bowl topped with dill sauce, a small serving of rice, refried beans, and sour cream. The rice was good, needs sauce, though. GET THEIR HOUSEMADE HOT SAUCE. Super spicy but pairs well with everythingggggg! The burrito itself was loaded with cheese and sauce on top. The filling with its lamb chunks were flavourful, and juicy. Definitely on my list of restaurants that I must eat at when visiting Montreal! read more

3 Amigos - Lamb burrito. One of the best I've ever had! - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Poor service, seemed like waiters were rushing us a little bit to order, and not checking up on us. And the food definitely could have been better - they used way too much oil than necessary in the tortillas. read more

Went here for an appetizer and a drink. The margarita was good. The ceviche was really good! Definitely worth the visit. Service was good.

Service was extremely poor. Missing drinks and condiments and nobody ever came by to ask how we were doing. Food was below average, cold tortillas for my tacos. Not recommended. read more

Came here literally at least once every time I visit Montreal!! Amazing atmosphere and the new renovations is very fitting!! Amazing food, good service even tho it's Saturday night! I like how they always serve nachos while waiting and you can ask for more unlimited!! The food is hot when delivered and the fajitas was amazing!! Drinks are always good and very strong ( which is a good thing). I will always come back to this place, every time we are around Montreal!! read more

Lines & slow service, but worth the wait. Graffiti sugar skull & cowboy art. Indoor & outdoor seating. Waiter was busy, but friendly. Food portions are big. $12 nachos are cheesy & meaty, very tasty. I'd come back if I lived here. read more

This place is one of my favorite. Excellent food and service. I always go to their fajitas on Wednesday and their pina colada. Best value for money. Also their quantities are good related to the price. They have also the sangria white and sangria red. Both are excellent. read more

This is our first dinner stop on our first visit to Montreal - and it disappointed. The waiter was passive-aggressive with us (esp my father who has limited English) when he asked for extra chips and when he was taking time to give his beverage order. The food was mediocre. The calamari rings were big and soggy. Those who ordered tacos were happy. Quesadilla was empty inside. Burger was much better! Drinks were too virgin, lol. Meaning they barely put any alcohol! I'm so we didn't bother to order seconds because we are basically buying juice! I hate that the waiters process your payment in front of you because he asks for "how much tip" himself! How can I say you don't even deserve 15%?? I gave 18%. I usually give 20-25% in NY! read more

I have a confession to make: this was the first restaurant I ate at in Montreal. Yes, it is shameful. Let me explain... I had driven 7 hours from Toronto. Yes I know the drive should take about 5, but thanks to roadwork around Kingston, it took longer. And for the last 2 years I lived in Socal, where I habitually had Mexican food. It had been over 2 weeks since I had Mexican, so I was going through withdrawal. Put all that together, and you got a dangerous combo. When my companion and I walked past a place called freaking 3 amigos (even the name kinda sucks), it sounded parfait. So that is why I ended up at a goddamn Chevy's. I know, the name isn't really Chevy's, but that is basically what this restaurant is. Super Americanized, fairly bland "Mexican" food. I even got the fajitas, which is like the supposed highlight of Chevy's right? So if you like Chevy's, you'll like this place. If you can't stand Chevy's, run away fast. And if you're in withdrawal like I was, it will help a small bit. read more

Dunno why so much hate for this place on Yelp. My gf and I thought the food was delicious, maybe Montreal residents don't like Spanish food? This is coming from someone that lives 10 min away from the most ethnic Mexican neighborhoods in Queens. The servings were very generous and delicious. It wasn't that crowded on a cold Montreal night but the servers were very nice. I would totally go back to this place when I return to Montreal. read more

A very busy restaurant. The service is not satisfying since the waiter attending to our table is always in a rush or something, probably they are lack of hands. The food was OK. I had a broth and my husband had a burger. We both love our food. No surprise nor disappointment. I have also tried their specials. Tacos on Sunday is only 89€. Worth the price. They also offer margarita special on Thursday for 5$. Guacamole was pretty bland. We don't like it. read more

Great food, service was alright but lovely people. Suitable for children but still enjoyable for everyone else.

The service was quite slow and the food was nothing "wow" like, it wasn't good enough for the price you pay for. I wouldn't suggest anyone to go there to be honest. Save your money and go to a real Mexican restaurant , it's cheaper and it tastes better. I gave two stars, at least the coca cola didn't disappoint me. read more

3 Amigos - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We were very surprised by this place. At first, it was irritable to wait for a while just for a glass of water or drinks. However, when the food arrived and how much arrived I was in shock. Usually, Mexican restaurants have high price points for their foods, but here it was affordable. I ordered the enchiladas and ended up getting a taco bowl salad, rice, beans, and many extras. Alongside the 89 cent tacos since it was a Sunday special, did not disappoint nor was it skimped. Eating half of my meal already left me full. However, the sangria we got could use a bit more alcohol read more

Friendly service, great menu selection and an excellent variety of very well priced food await at the Saint-Denis St. 3 amigos The margaritas and daiquiris are HUGE! We had the ceviche appetizer ($8) which was excellent but needed to be a little more citrus/vinegary. The main courses of flame broiled salmon with tiger shrimp and flame broiled salmon with mango salsa and side of chicken were amazing and super healthy. The tomato rice and steamed vegetables that came with them were extremely tasty too! If it is your birthday, they will give you a huge sombrero, #Andale!!!! Definitely a great spot when in the St-Denis area; sit by the window for great people watching on the busy street #willBeback read more

3 Amigos - Two happy tourists! - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We stepped into Three Amigos after being at a huge metal festival near mid-night. The staff member who sat us down and served us was Thomas. He brought water, chips and salsa within 5 minutes, he took orders and we got them about 10 minutes later. Thomas was great he was working several tables and the place was full because of the concert. The Shrimp Taco Special had a decent amount of shrimp, it wasn't greasy just a nice combo of Mexican spices/sauce, shrimp, cabbage, and cheese. Other things on the plate: rice, black beans (very small amount) and a small mixed salad. Overall it was a good meal and service. read more

It's better than Taco Bell. If you're looking for an American's take on Mexican food, 3 Amigos is a winner. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food... Keep looking... You won't find any of it here. read more

3 Amigos is meh. It is so meh that I think it defines meh. I think meh should be added to the dictionary with this restaurant as its description. The hostess and the two waiters we interacted with were very rude. Suffice to say, they did not seem like our three amigos. Maybe our three frenemies, at best. They didn't really seem to want to seat us or take our order, and I just KNOW that our main waiter avoided our eye-contact whenever possible. It hurt - right in the feelings. The food is alright. Little things - would have traded more guacamole for less chips. And calling it the best guacamole in town is definitely a stretch. It's alright. It's guac. Margaritas were super sweet and tasted synthetic. Will this green concoction turn me into the Green Lantern? Only time will tell. There are so many great restaurants to explore in Montreal! Don't let this one steal your fun away, no matter how festive those sombreros look from across the street. read more

One waiter was rude (feb 2020) My boyfriend went to tip the waiter and in front of everyone the waiter started to ask my boyfriend why the tip was so low. How embarrassing, the other costumers were staring. This waiter had no 2issues talking loud either. The couple we were with was shocked a waiter would do this to anyone publicly. In the waiters defense i do not know how much my bf gave as a tip. But the waiter should of have asked my bf in private about this money matters. And when my friend ordered shooters, the waiter went ahead and took it upon himself to add in shooters into my friends order. She didnt say anything but when i said to my friend i bet you he wants me more tip out of you, she said i can sense that yes. And after questioning my bf about his tip he gave him, it confirmed my suspensions about him. When a waiter is about money it makes the person rude and makes the person believe they are entitled to take advantage of other ppl. If it wasnt for my friend i would not have tip him anything but i did and still hold resentment for it. And ill add when you call to get info about prices and what they have on the menu. They are more than rude! They hung up on me three times. And they told me its my phone that hung up and not me. I know for a fact they have phone issues bc ive called before and they told me personally over the phone they have phone issues. And theyre burgers came to me half frozen... just add that in there. read more

WOW!!! Worst service and food in Montreal!!!!! What the hell!!! Where is my service??!?!? I can't even get water, napkins or even a menu! Sat down and ate the dog shit that they served me and left the hell out!!! DO NOT, repeat DO NOT go to this place. Waste of money and waste of time. I will tell everyone that travels to Montreal to never, eve, ever visit this place. If you are the owner reading this, EAT SHIIIIT AND DIE. read more

My partner and I were very hungry after happy hour at St. Elisabeth's Pub so we headed north on Saint Denis. This was the first restaurant we saw and they had a poster advertising $6.95 fajitas on Wednesdays. It was a Wednesday. And we miss Tex-Mex desperately after moving to New England. So guess where we had dinner? The place was packed and jamming Latin tunes. We snagged a table for two right by the front windows which made for great people-watching. They complementarily provided a small basket of chips and salsa. The basket was laughably small (well, everything IS bigger in Texas) and the salsa was....sweet...a little off...I think it had carrots. The margaritas were huge and flavorful, better than anything I've had in Boston. And my beef fajitas were pretty good. Also better than anything I've had in Boston. I suppose those are low standards. I would've loved it more if it came with rice (just lettuce, cheese, sour cream, salsa without carrots) and a little more guacamole. My partner had the spinach enchiladas which were probably the healthiest spinach enchiladas I've ever tasted. They had tons of spinach and not too much cheese. Overall, the place was loud and rowdy. Service attentive, but not hovering. And it's a chain. read more

Goodness gracious me! Karma is as karma does, and I hope fellow Yelpers send me some good karma to offset the one I'm about to gather through this review. I'm torn. 3 Amigos is, for the more experienced Montrealer and visitor, a sort of stable reference point - when other options are exhausted (or it's too cold to walk anywhere else, often the case north of the 45th parallel), you know there's ALWAYS 3 Amigos. Just like your weird relative in another town, because everybody has one - you know you might not want to, but you can always crash at their place if needs be. Well, critical reviews are best done quickly, just like tooth extractions. Yes, it is crowded, loud; the service can be very slow and can feel inattentive at times, and the food justifies the price but not the points mentioned just prior. One gimmick some will appreciate consists of the margaritas. A cocktail served in a glass as big as your head is sure to start a conversation! However tempting this course of action may be, player be warned: you better be a good talker and a good listener, coz even a double margarita won't make you any more attractive to your date. Science tells us two shots of tequila in a bucket of water equal water tasting funny. Well, at least after a double margarita and food at 3 Amigos at the end of the night you could very probably be legal to drive - and it better be a Lamborghini in order to impress your unimpressed (so far) date. Low-rider + Montreal's potholes = romantic stargazing while you're being towed. No, there is no winning. Just come as you are - chilled-out, cold and hungry - knowing what you're getting into. I can enjoy it and I will return. And, whatever you do, TIP. Your waiter is over-taxed, eardrums bleeding and is probably either over-qualified for his job by a mile and dreaming of saving up for moving out West, or a hopelessly unappreciated artist who appears to his landlord in his worst nightmare. read more

This restaurant with such a low rate worth it. i regret go without checking yelp.Really bad service and attitude. dont allow pack after give me the box. 2 waiters saw me packaging and then the manager come and admit box mistake and try to take away my food. He arouse his voice when saying special cant take away. so stupid and offensive to treat customers like it. And i feel it is racisim for Asian. btw, Drink is way better then the food. But still not worth. Just a drink u can take everywhere read more

Good food, very Americanized. Definitely not Mexican food that you would eat in Mexico. Service is ok, slow when busy but that is just like anywhere else. I have eaten there multiple times as it is a nice change from regular restaurants. It can get really loud really fast, do NOT sit upstairs. One or two (delicious) margaritas should make it better though! read more
