A: My husband and I happened to be in Montreal before Christmas and most restaurants werewfilled up with reservations. But then we discovered Al dente Trattoria and were we ever surprised. Great pasta ( spaghetti and fettucini) plus homemade sauce and rapid courteous service added up to a delicious dinner. We will definitely go back. Our compliments to the wonderful chefs and owners!!!

Q: negative

A: Great fun decor. Menu looks great and creative. Food quality is pretty disappointing. They offer fresh squeezed orange juice and it was absolutely not even close to real juice, even the waitress admit it that it was freshly squeezed 'locally' delivered every two days! To me it looked and tasted like tropicana or made from concentrate. Over medium eggs were really runny that had a lot of clear, runny runny, raw ! They recommended some crispy french toast that were topped with corn flakes to add crunch and yes they were pretty crispy, they were deep fried like 'churros'! My boyfriend who eats and likes everything, usually after he finishes his plate kills mine next, could barely ate anything ;( Service pretty ordinary.

Q: positive

A:
I came here three times in 10 days. That should say something! Not your typical Americanized Mexican-type food. Very authentic, and their carnitas and carne asada grande tacos are fantastic! I also got the carne asada burrito bowl with no rice. The red and green sauce here is far better than many of the other Mexican restaurants I have attended. The best thing here is that they appreciate individuals who observe lent by offering grilled fish and shrimp in taco, burrito, and bowl form(s)! Their jalapenos are the best! I love this place!
