La Taquería d’Hochelag brings the spirit of a family-run Mexican kitchen to the heart of Hochelaga. The menu sticks to the essentials—tacos, nachos, quesadillas—executed with a focus on authenticity and generous portions. Their brunch lineup introduces a deeper dive into regional Mexican flavours, with chilaquiles, tostadas de tinga, and huevos rancheros drawing a loyal following.

Regulars swear by the salsa verde, while others praise the restaurant’s ability to pull off last-minute catering miracles. The vibe is casual, with a no-fuss dining room that doubles as a showcase for axolotl-themed Indigenous artwork. While consistency in portion sizes has been a point of debate, the spot remains a go-to for those craving comforting, straightforward Mexican food, whether dining in or ordering out.
