RESTAURANT AriZ5 - Resto Mexicain - Montreal

May 22nd, 2023

My friend and I found this restaurant to be great!! The pricing is in my opinion very fair considering the portion sizes. The 28$ grilled chicken plate I ordered was huge, could have easily been a plate for two. I had lots of yummy leftovers that I ate today. I personally didnt find that the food was bland, I thought it was fresh and not overly seasoned. With that being said, if you expect very salty/seasoned and very fatty foods, this restaurant is probably not for you. For instance, their guacamole is extremely fresh and is not drenched in salt and lemon juice. The grilled chicken was lean and not overly seasoned (I liked it a lot and so did my friend). Their beer fries are very good (my friend really really liked them, he says they are the best potatoes in town) and unique. Their beans were good. Their rice was different than rice I usually eat (in a good way), it seemed slightly fried and has onions in it. Guac was insanely good (as mentioned above). Each plate came with 4 tortillas. My friend took the beef plate (30$) and we found it very good, it was high quality meat. Concerning the service, I think it was good. It took maybe 15-20 minutes (I dont remember very well honestly, but it didnt take very long) for us to get our plates, which was very fair considering the freshness of the food (especially the guac). My friend and I were served by two super nice waiters. They were super polite, nice and laid back (in a good way), I dont get why so many people complained about the service on here. A lot of the bad reviews here were probably written by overly demanding customers in my opinion. We were not charged extra for the spicy sauces (my friend likes spicy sauces and he liked them a lot) and marinated onions the waiter brought to our table. One of the waiters made a great beer recommendation, my friend liked it. Maybe an improvement tip for them would be to have paper menus as they are more convenient/easy to use than online QR code menus (maybe they had paper menus but we didnt see/find them). Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant, it is very unique.

A messy service, bringing wrong orders to the table, missing part of the orders. They made us pay way too much for shot without warning us (like the actual price a glass of wine). The food was actually bland, lacking spice I guess. The payment took wait too long as well as they miss-matched every receipt, like 20 minutes minimum to figure out who should actually pay for what. If you are a male, also be careful of the toilets, it was crumbling down (bits of the ceiling missing for example), not clean at all. I would sincerely not recommend this place.

(Translated by Google) A good base but prices quite high for the quantity and quality. You get paid $5 extra per fajita pancake unheard of. Customer service needs to be reviewed (on the terrace we were left out of the restaurant, the waitress came back to see us when it suits her) noted that no one speaks to you in French, English also needs to be reviewed then what the Made of non-spicy request turned out very spicy. (Original) Une assiette bonne mais des prix assez levs pour la quantit et la qualit. On vous fait pay 5$ de supplment par galette fajitas du jamais vue. Le service client est revoir (en terrasse nous tions les oublies du restaurant, la serveuse revenait nous voir quand bon lui semble) not que personne ne sadresse vous en franais, langlais est galement revoir puis ce que le faite de demande non pic sest avr trs pic.
