Example: We came with a party of 6 and left after over an hour of waiting with reservations. The ma\u00eetre'd was perhaps the most obnoxious person I've ever experienced on this planet. Even with the reservations, we were told that we could expect to wait about a half hour. When our buzzer rang 20 minutes later that ma\u00eetre'd angrily told us that it had only been 20 minutes and that our signal had certainly not gone off or went off in error.\n\nI hang with a pretty yuppie crowd back home and I'm typically prepared for dealing with the posh and pretentious crowd that frequents Tao and places like it. What I was not prepared for was dining in a night club with staff that was even more pretentious than its already pretentious clientele (and I fairly count myself amongst them).\n\nTone down the music and fire half the staff (our cocktail waitress was great), and I think Tao would be something special. As it stands, the ma\u00eetre'd spoiled my dinner long before it had arrived.

Example: Having lived in the US and tasted how good a true mission-style burrito could really be, I had high expectations going into my first visit at M4.  I used to eat at Chipotle at least twice a week and the lack of a decent mission-style burrito place in Montreal has been killing me.\n\nPlace:  The place has a great location on St. Denis not too far from both UQAM and Sherbrooke Ave.  The interior of the place shouts, \""We are the closest thing to Chipotle without being Chipotle.\""  They have the stainless steel throughout the store and have substituted Chipotle's red for the color orange.  That being said, it's a good looking shop and nearly identical down to the burrito prep counter.\n\nFood:  A meal is only as good as the ingredients and this is where M4 has dropped the ball.  They were able to copy the look, but not the taste of Chipotle.  For a mission-style burrito it's all about the rice, beans and meat.  The cilantro infused rice at M4 lacks the freshness, aroma and flavor of the original.  Beans are hard to mess up, but I found the beans undercooked and much too firm.  Last but not least was the carnitas.  M4's meat is a far cry from the delicious, slow-cooked succulent carnitas you'd expect.  Bland, hunks of unseasoned pork leave you unsatisfied and grabbing for some hot sauce to drown your sorrows.   \n\nService: No waitresses or waiter at M4, but you do get to watch the people make your food.  I'm not sure if they were trainees or just very unconfident employees, but they really rolled those burritos like amateurs.  Practice makes perfect and I hope they improve.  \n\nPrice: ~$22 for two burritos and chips/guacamole.  Decent price for Montreal fast food.\n  \nTip:  Email, tweet, Facebook and write Chipotle to open up a shop in Montreal.  It's ridiculous that in a town the size of Montreal we can't get a decent mission-style burrito.  Even Paris has a Chipotle.\n\nNeedless to say, I won't be back.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Awesome tacos! Even better than Gordos! The extras are free, where normally most taquerias charge extra for, like the beans and the grilled chiles and green onions. They also have awesome fresh jugos (juices) for beverages, salsas, elotes (corn) and I think the tortillas for the tacos asada are home made. I have been here twice already and coming back for more.\nThere are 3 separate lines for different meats, so make sure to get your tray ready and tips in hand as they will hook it up! The 4th and final line is the check out line to pay for all the grub! \nI would have given them 5 stars if it weren't for my favorite taqueria back home, \""La Pasadita\"" in Chicago IL.
