Mexican Grill Latin American Tacos

Mentioned in: 19 Must-Try Food Trucks in Montreal for a True Street Food Experience

Review Summary

Roi du Taco Express is described as a small, friendly spot with delicious cuisine and impeccable service. The tacos are a standout, and drinks are recommended, with many saying the food and hospitality make the visit worth it. The terrace is perfect while the interior is compact and the street outside can be loud and busy. Takeout portions are sometimes tiny, especially the burritos, and plenty of reviewers say in person dining offers better value. A delivery note suggests keeping the bowl and the taco separate to avoid a soggy bowl. One reference to the food truck at Pride describes the tacos as absolutely amazing and reminiscent of Mazatlan. Overall, the reviews agree on tasty food and welcoming service, with some caveats about price and portion size, and a common thread of plans to return.View restaurant profile
