I was forced to stop and take shelter at Taco Box during a sudden monsoon of a rainstorm that drove me off the bike trail. Plus, it was close to supper time and I was getting hungry. Taco Box totally turned my rainstorm around! This is a little food box kiosk, next to a few other food box kiosks dotted along the canal. They seriously have the BEST lobster tacos in the universe. That's all I had: lobster tacos x 2. I got the combo which also came with corn chips and guacamole. The guacamole was good but man, those corn chips... not so much. So, I would highly recommend just buying an extra taco if you're extra peckish, and never mind the combo option. It's more cost effective AND SATISFYING. Also: Great staff - super friendly, good vibes. Reasonable prices. Excellent outdoor seating. Folks, I need more of those lobster tacos and I don't even like lobster *that* much. read more

While easy to hop off your bike and have lunch at taco box, it really wasn't all that good. Actually the chorizo tacos are perfectly fine. Not the best I've had but tasty. The issue i had was with the duck taco. Sounds good from the description, confit, pickles, hosin; sounds like a nice Asian riff. But just not good. The pickles are a fairly strong dill and totally over power all other flavors. The hosin is no where to be found. Plus the tortilla just disintegrated. While the ones used with the chorizo held up fine. So $5.50 for what tasted like a pickle taco just didn't work for me. Plus the chips that came with the "combo" were just this side of stale. Really regretted this stop. Would be two stars except the chorizo are perfectly fine. My advice....just have the chorizo or walk next door and get something else. Plus you are kind of paying more for location than something tasty. read more

Pitiful tiny, tiny $5-6 tacos (see pictures). Tasted like carton. This place is a joke. Employs teenagers during the summer, kids were nice and doing a fine job though. read more

Unexpectedly good food served from the fanciest shipping container in Montreal. Delicious fusion tacos (the vegetarian had curried lentils, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes) along with better than expected guacamole and hearty tortilla chips. Coupled with a beautiful view of the old port it makes for a great night out. read more

I had the tacos and they just didn't taste good. The kids working at the place were friendly and nice. But I can't say the food is good. Almost no meat in the tacos. Disappointed... read more

I had the beef taco and a beer. I didn't find the staff friendly at all and the taco itself was very bland; had to pour hotsauce over it, and i'm no fan of bottled hotsauce... It was definitely a disappointing experience given how gorgeous the setting was. read more

ROUX Food Truck

Roux is a food truck that serves up wraps, salad and poutine. The prices are in line with other…read morefood trucks. I was seriously craving something greasy so I went with the spare ribs poutine which turned out to be a smart choice. They put plenty of curds which is always something I like in a poutine. The fries themselves were well-seasoned and thick while the meat was very tender. They would have been quite good on their own too. My only complaint was that they garnished it with deep-fried onions that were cold. I think even if they had been hot they wouldn't have added much to the poutine as a whole.

From the owner: Like a long-awaited missing piece in a diverse jigsaw puzzle that is the local dining scene. Food…read moretrucks are finally revving into high gear to Montreal and its surrounding areas. ROUX comes from the collaboration of the Mile-End famous restaurant FABERGÉ located at 25 Fairmount west and Chef Eric W. Rice. Our food philosophy is driven by simplicity and technique We'll shock you with our delicious fries served with a variety of tasty sauces. The pride of our truck is our fries but wait till you try our signature mouth-watering sandwiches, some of which will change monthly according to what is fresh and local . It's also very important for us that everybody no matter your food beliefs, can enjoy the ROUX experience. Which is why you'll always find vegan options and also why we only use vegetable oil for fries. Our goal is giving the mobile food service concept, a gourmet boost with quality ingredients and a la minute cooking at affordable prices.

Finally today it was actually where it was supposed to be and we tried it. And I have only regrets. Tried two different tacos as well as a chicken dish. The tacos were so laden with liquid ingredients that there was no way to actually eat it unless you went at it with a fork and knife... okay, fine... spoon and knife. The point of a taco is that you lift it up, but these you just couldn't, the liquid had made holes and everything came out of them. Two hours later, I'm still thinking about all my regrets. But worse... I'm so damn hungry that I'm thinking about going out again for lunch, because it was so unsatisfying.

Our server alerted us of the happy hour deals and was quick to return with our various drinks and rounds. The food was also delicious- I got to try my first Canadian poutine. The ambiance is very cool- the large center bar is a great centerpiece and there is plenty of seating around it and tables throughout the restaurant. The portions were large. With the poutine to share- I was happy with a chicken tender appetizer as my main.

The employee assigned to us made sure we knew he wasn't happy, had commentary for a colleague who ordered a water, and let us know we'd messed up his preset tables. He even snapped at one person who grabbed a side chair, we had one less than needed, with "I told you, you can sit in these 4 tables only." Nobody was comfy, even more so as a work group who tips very well. Clearly there's a dispute between management and staff here, but us customers shouldn't experience it. Drink was fine, but after all my friends had expressed about enjoying this place, I didn't have the same experience. Great layout, awesome selection of beers, but I'd definitely hope for a better interaction.

Just so everyone's aware, the coffee is great, the baristas are nice, the location is superb, and it all around is exactly the opposite of its tagline haha. Popped by here to enjoy a maple latte (because when in Canada, you have to have maple!) before visiting the art museum. It was delicious. The shop looks deceptively small but is actually quite spacious inside.

All drinks were very good except that the coffee was lukewarm. I had said I only wanted a coffee if it was piping hot and we told it would be. Other than that, it was a fun experience as they offer games to play at the tables. It was clean and the barista was nice.
