Ta Chido

Stopped in for dinner.
Flavours good, prices reasonable.
Too early on a Saturday to be out of beef tacos, however. Also, chorizo taco loaded with potato.
Worth stopping in if you’re walking by. Would not recommend as a destination.

I’ve lived 5 minutes away from this place for about 6 – 7 years and I’ve only tried it now. HOW?
It was great, the prices are fair, the staff is helpful, the vibe is cool, and the food is delicious. I do wish they were bigger portions but it is a snack place.
I got the Black bean taco. It was delectable.

I’m a lover of a good taco, and Tachido never disappoints. Definitely of the best places Montréal for a taco and margerita.

Margarita wednesday is the best night of the week to visit this popular local hotspot! The margaritas are great, and only 5 dollars. They also have great taco deals on other nights of the week. The décor is vibrant and colorful, very hip. Its small inside so there might be some wait time, but service is friendly and talkative.
There are a ton of gluten free options, even the tortas can be made gluten free! My favourite thing to order, is the chicken tostadas. They are heaping with fun Mexican flavours! The pulled pork tacos of juicy and delicious. There are homemade hot sauce bottle on each table, which means you can add as much or as little yummy heat to your food as you prefer. Ta Chido is a great Mexican place in a city that could use more restos like it!

This place rocks! The décor is very unique, a very chill and inviting atmoshphere. The food… my god! Their sandwiches, all made on homemade bread is one of the best in the city. The Pierna, or Cubana Torta will leave any meat lover feeling full and satisfied, there is no lack of options for the vegetarian diner as well. Their Margaritas… There are all very good, the hibsicus margarita is top notch. While paying for a meal recently i was talking to young man who was working about the large amount of tequila in the margaritas. He explained to me that they received complaints from customers about not being able to taste tequila in the margaritas, so they remedied the problem by putting more tequila. I like the way they think:) These drinks are as potent as they are delicious.
To boot, the staff has always been very helpful and friendly on my many visits there. Service is pretty fast, even when the place is packed, which happens often due to its small size.

Les tacos sont immangeables pour le reste c’est bon. la déco est sympa, la musique du moment aussi et le personnel sympatique. Alors je le recommande mais pas les tacos

Definitely a small hole in the wall venue but it’s cheap and greasy Mexican food, what did you expect?
We came here before closing time for some takeout. Service was pretty slow. One of my friends ordered crickets! We were expecting to see the shape of a cricket (maybe a breaded cricket?) but instead she couldn’t see the actual insect, just random breaded meat. The torta mole noppales was really good!!! The Hongos (a panini sandwich) was decent but it was difficult to say for sure as the toast was burnt.
Soooooo –1 star for slow service and burnt toast.

Seriously??? I can’t believe I found such great Mexican food out here! even tho it was to go it was delish. The only bad part is the parking but I guess parking in this city is just bad period. Really authentic flavors here, I think I’ll be going back before I leave

I came to Montréal visiting from NJ and just passed by this place and it seemed interesting from the outside.
This small Mexican place had the best torta I have ever had in my life. The tinga de pollo torta is delicious. I wish it were a little cheaper but the quality and taste is magnificent. The restaurant setting is filled with interesting toys and a vintage feel so it is a nice place for a hangout.

The first time I came here with my partner, we ordered each different taco to try, it was a Saturday so they had the 3 for $ 9 taco promotion. They were all very tasty, and quite generously filled compared to other places I have tried. Since then I have been back a few more times. The tortas are also extremely delicious, giant, and filling. I don’t doubt it will become a regular spot to satisfy my cravings.

À éviter !
Les tacos sont immangeables !
J’y étais avec trois amis, aucun de nous n’a réussi à finir son plat tellement c’était mauvais !
On a payé 40 $ pour rien…

Visited Ta Chido by myself for lunch one day in Montréal, super quirky décor, which was awesome, and an added bonus as I didn’t have anyone to talk to so it was nice to have cool paper mache heads and dozens of King Kongs to stare at. I was worried that service would be slow, as there seemed to be only one person attempted to wait tables outside, inside and tend bar, but dude was on point. I had a strong cucumber-​lime margarita, which was perfect for the hot day, a tinga de pollo torta (which is actually a sandwich on bread, not really a torta) with chips and guacamole. The margarita was heavily poured and top marks for a little hole in the wall place that uses Cointreau in lieu of some bargain basement triple sec, the sandwich (torta) was out of this world, heavily spiced chicken had a very earthy taste along with the grilled veggies, the guacamole was fresh, if a bit runny, and the chips seemed homemade. I thought prices were a bit on the high end, but this was still only my third or fourth day in the city, so in context I’d say reasonable. Well worth the visit, next time I’m in Montréal I’ll return.

Me encanta la comida. Pero el servicio no es el mejor. En este momento llevo sentado 1 hora y 40 minutos y aún no nos han servido nuestro pedido. La mesera ha tardado al menos 1 hora para tomar nuestra orden. Entiendo que hayan días y horas en las que hay mucha gente en el restaurante. Lo que no entiendo es porque tienen a una mesera sola tratando de atender 12 mesas al mismo tiempo! En cualquier otro día habría dado 5 estrellas, pero después de la experiencia de hoy, sólo recomendaría este restaurante a personas que no me caigan bien.

I’ve been here twice in less than 24 hours and I don’t even feel guilty.
This place makes the best tinga de pollo torta I’ve ever tasted. Admittedly, it’s the only one I’ve ever tasted, but I’d like to see anybody try to make one better. Their guacamole is exceptional and the tostadas are magnificent.
The cherry on top is the service. Great people, very quick and all around good vibes.

Came here for an afternoon date with my wife. We both really liked the food, and the servers were friendly, though it was very clear that one of the servers was in training. I had the Sunday brunch with the tortilla, beans, chicken, avocado, and scrambled egg – delicious. My wife had the pulled pork torta («Pierna»): a generously sized sandwich which was even more delicious. The flavours were strong but not overbearing, and the food in general reminded us of the authentic Mexican we had while in Cancun. The tequila cocktails were good, but not excellent like the food.
The price was fair given how good the meal was; 12 for the brunch, 11 for the torta, and 8 each for the cocktails. The location is great, though if you’re looking for a «fancy» atmosphere, this isn’t it: a simple table with chairs on the terrace, or small tables inside. That’s not why you’d come here, though. We went for a tasty meal and got it, and will definitely be back again to what is the best-​tasting Mexican we’ve had in Montréal.

Taco special on Fridays 3 for $ 9. The tacos were pretty good. The highlight was the black bean soup that I got with the add $ 3 and get soup and a drink special. Definitely getting the full size soup next time. The sandwich my boyfriend had was also quite tasty. I believe it was pork with mole sauce, a unique flavour. Everything was quite cheap and the service was very good for Montréal standards.

Delicious, reasonably priced, and very friendly staff.
Their food is traditional enough to be comfort food, and creative enough that you can have a lot of novel taste experiences. The cocktails are fantastic, and the tequila and mezcal selection is an attraction in its own right. To top it all off, the family that runs it is very sweet. Enjoy!

Oh my god, I go in this restaurant and they never disappointed me! Tortas with pierna is so tasty and cheap, quesadilla too. The service was also so fast and so friendly. ¹⁰⁄₁₀

Menu simple mais très efficace. Bouffe délicieuse et ambiance vraiment chaleureuse. On a adoré et ce n’est pas notre dernière visite.

Bön petit snack/​resto mexicain dans le Mile-​End ! Si vous voulez manger mexicain authentique dans une ambiance relax, vous avez trouver, que ça soit des tacos, tostadas, tortas et quesadillas. Ils servent aussi de la bière, de la téquila & mezcal, bien sûr. Environ ¾ tacos par personne pour bien manger. Prix allant de 3 $ à 11 $, donc très abordable. Bön service du proprio. Peu d’espace, assez serré comme local, mais ça fait parti du charme. Décoration assez kitsch et funky avec figurines, poupées et piñatas au mur. ¡Buen provecho amigos! ⁴⁄₅ Visité en janvier 2015.

I love this place. The menu is fabulous and everything is delicious.
The gluten-​free bread here is ah-​may-​zing. I’m pretty sure this is one of very few places in the city that actually has consistently delicious gluten free sandwiches (tortas).
This place is pretty great, but I have three gripes:
1) Winter in Canada gets me craving something warm to drink. Sure, you’ve got tea and coffee, but I don’t always want to get caffeinated after noon.
2)Also, it would be cool if you boiled your tea water instead of microwaving it. It’s kind of a no no!
3) When I order an appetizer (soup) and a sandwich, it would be nice if you could space their delivery a few minutes apart.

I have been to Tachido’s about 6 times. The mole torta is super delicious, all the sandwiches are pretty delicious, their black bean soup is fantastic and the tacos are a small but reasonably priced snack. I especially like their special where you can tack-​on a soup or salad and a juice-​of-​the-​day to your bill for a good price. Although I once got dismissed by the owner for sending back a flat beer, the service has otherwise been great.

Excellent food for an excellent price. I love Mexican food an this place blows most places out of the water. Great drinks and great service in a family run restaurant. Highly recommended.

Food took forever.
People working there just seemed annoyed that people were there. Waitress making annoyed sounds and gestures to people behind their back. No good.

Had been wanting to try out this place for months, but since I never really go to that area, and couldn’t figure out exactly what to expect in terms of size etc, I never felt like journeying specifically. Though, Thursday night I found myself nearby, so I went with a friend.
The place is very small, probably about 4 tables, and a 4 seater bar area. But it is very cosy and very cute. We were sat at the bar. Menu was simple and yummy, and reasonably priced. We both had a selection of tacos, and margaritas. And everything was really yummy, and we enjoyed it, although the seating was a bit squished. The service was also great.
It’s a very similar vibe to Mais down on St Laurent, however, this is the lunch counterpart, where Mais is more like late night.
Overall good experience, and I will certainly return if in the area and digging some tacos/​margaritas.
[This review was changed from a 3 to a 4 star review, because I had previously expressed annoyance that they used powder mix with the margharita, and someone contacted me to ensure me that it wasn’t true, and that the powder I thought I saw was just sugar, and invited me in to see for myself.]

Très bon! Ça goute la vrai cuisine mexicaine! «Fait maison». Très bonne margarita! Tout était délicieux!
Petit resto, il se rempli très rapidement, mais ça vaut l’attente!

Excellent resto! Ambiance cosy et personnel super sympa. On a pris un sandwich au porc effiloché et quesadilla au poulet et les deux etaient excellents!!! Le sandwich etait tres copieux et ca goutait les bon ingredients! Je recommande vivement! Aucun regret de s etre arreté par hasard! Yum!

Pour une petite bouffe mexicaine rapide et pas trop cher! Quelques produits sans gluten et plusieurs cocktails assez particuliers qui né manquent pas d’acool!

Petit bistrot Mexican à la fois excellent et très abordable. Tortillas maison, quesadillas mortelles et margaritas à a fois conséquentes et joliment présentées!
Décors kitsch à souhait et service attentif et souriant.
Il n’y a que des petites tables, donc à éviter pour les groupes de plus de 4.
