This Jean-Talon Market Restaurant Has Mouthwatering Tacos & A Festive Party Atmosphere

There's a DJ spinning on-site each week!

Reporter

Jean-Talon Market's Mazorca MTL offers Latin-fusion cuisine to Montrealers and the pop-up restaurant's atmosphere is as colourful and festive as the food, complete with a live DJ and live music each week.

The Montreal taco spot has a menu packed with ceviche, creative cocktails and tacos to suit every palate — from pineapple chicken to pork with whisky and black pepper, and always a vegetarian option.

When it comes to drinks, Mazorca's menu consists of house-made cocktails like mango margaritas and strawberry rhubarb mojitos and they also have craft beers that you can enjoy.

Mazorca MTL is ephemeral, lasting only for the summer season, since the counter sources fresh products from the Jean-Talon market for its dishes.

You can check out Mazorca MTL until October. A live DJ spins every Saturday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
