Very refreshing, lots of vegetables and the octopus is tender. The patate benie had perfect poached eggs, tender pork belly and crispy potato squares. Loved the sauces. The speciality coffee drinks are on the sweeter side. But lots of fun spiced options. The presentations are lovely. A feast for the eyes.

Tacos come in twos, $12-14 a pair and these are little street tacos without any sides. The tacos themselves pack a lot of flavor into their small size. The El Pastor was solid and the Korean steak inspired taco was delicious. Seems like a good place for a group (with a reservation) to enjoy a night out.

There are a few La Toxica locations around Montreal, and people sometimes mix them up when posting…read morephotos and reviews. I've been to a couple of them, and this location is definitely one of my favorites, along with the Jean-Talon location. You know the food is good when everyone at the table goes quiet because they're too busy eating. This was actually my first time ordering La Toxica on Uber Eats since I live pretty far away, and even with a 75-minute wait, it was 100% worth it. The carnitas tacos are probably the best tacos I've had so far. I haven't found another place that does them quite like this. The al pastor is incredible too flavour-wise, it's hard to find anything that compares. I've tried a lot of taco spots around Montreal, and this is one of the closest experiences I've had to authentic Mexican tacos. I enjoy Three Amigos, but it's a completely different style of food. La Toxica feels like the kind of place where someone's mom or grandma is in the kitchen making recipes that have been passed down for generations. The Birria and the consommé is always packed with flavor. If you're not sipping the consommé after dipping your tacos, you're missing out. Highly recommended.

This one I've been a few times you know it's gonna be good when you see someone's grandma and grandson cooking in the back lol the food feels really authentic. The vibes are there the taste is there in the price is there. For four Birria tacos it was about $18 which isn't horrible. Would 100% come back definitely on Tuesdays because it's all you can eat!

CubanMex fusion cuisine is getting traction in Florida, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and of course California, but hands down - this small simple family run restaurant in Montreal is at the front of this trend. I only hope they don't get so popular, that we cannot get in next time. This type of innovation in flavor from immigrants merging their own two cultures is what Montreal is all about!

The Pastor had a slight ketchup-y taste. The Carnitas was quite dry and salty. There was a miscommunication issue: we tried to order one taco of each meat since we were already pretty stuffed but they brought out 4 of each (16 total). It was expensive too at around $4.5/taco after tax and tip. Even though the tacos weren't particularly good, we still took them back to the hotel...
