Celebrate the very first Montreal Taco Week
"About time!", we hear you say, and rightly so. After poutine week, pizza week and burger week, what could be more fitting than for Montreal to celebrate this Mexican dish, prepared here in 1001 different ways? Say hello to the first Montreal Taco Week, taking place from October 15-22. A number of Montreal restaurants will be offering a very special version of the taco for $10 or less throughout the week, including...

T&T Tacos And Tortas
51 rue Rachel O, Montréal, QC H2W 1G2This restaurant on Rachel Street West is offering, for $3.50, its beefsteak taco, with marinated steak mince, sautéed onions and grilled cactus. Yes, you heard right: grilled cactus. And it's really a lot better than you might think.
