I recently visited this restaurant & ordered two different tacos: the beef with cheese tacos served with homemade sauce, & the pork tacos with pineapple & onions. Overall, the experience was very satisfying & exceeded my expectations.
The beef tacos were excellent. The tortillas were lightly charred, giving them a nice smoky flavor while still being soft & fresh. The beef was well-seasoned, juicy, & paired perfectly with melted cheese that added richness without overpowering the meat. The homemade sauce was a standout element-it had a balanced flavor that enhanced the tacos rather than masking them. It tasted fresh & clearly made in-house, which added a lot to the overall quality of the dish.
The pork tacos with pineapple & onions were equally impressive. The pork was tender & flavorful, & the pineapple added a subtle sweetness that complemented the savory meat very well. The onions provided a bit of sharpness & crunch, creating a great balance of textures & flavors. Every bite felt well thought out & satisfying.
The presentation was clean & inviting, & the portion size was generous without feeling overwhelming. Everything tasted fresh, & you can tell care was put into both the ingredients & preparation. Overall, the food was delicious, well-balanced, & clearly made with attention to detail. I would definitely return & recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality, flavorful tacos.
It's honestly difficult for me to write this review because what was once a place that I have recommended to many people is sadly slowly becoming a place that I will simply not speak about. & honestly my' goal' with this review is I hope the owner reads it & maybe something will change because I want to keep supporting this restaurant.
I have been to Dirty Tacos countless times. Some times even twice a week. The food is absolutely DELICIOUS , FRESH, FLAVOURFUL ! BEST TACOS I'VE HAD in or around Montreal. Everything is SO DAMN GOOD !
But seriously though ? What is happening with the portion size of the Tacos ?! When I started eating there a year ago , you were given what I considered to be 3 large sized tacos with a generous filling , with a nice' cup' filled with consumé when taking the Birria's. In the past 4 to 6 months the portions have continuously & gradually gone down significantly which now makes it overpriced. The quality of the food has stayed absolutely stunning & delicious. But the portions have officially become insulting.
I went for lunch today. & when the young lady ( who is a sweetheart by the way ) brought me my food, I found my self staring at my tacos a few moments, literally insulted at what I was looking at. 3 tacos folded in extremely small tortillas with not much beef & a' cup' half filled with consumé. For those 3 tacos & a Jarritos the cost was 27 dollars ( with an 18% tip included. I ordered at the counter. ). Im sorry, I am not a cheap person but that's unacceptable.
I literally walked out of there telling myself that was the last time. But who am I kidding ?
Dirty Tacos , this isn't goodbye just yet. But seriously though… Something needs to be done about your portions. Because I know what once was & what I was served today isn't it & it hasn't been for some time now.
Too expensive for what it is. We ordered the beef ($18) & the shrimp ($15) tacos. The taco were so small that it took 2 bites to eat them. They give you 3 on a plate. The shrimp was 2 little pieces in each one. The beef were ok. These should have been half the price they charge. Soft drinks were overpriced also. We left there hungry & we are not big eaters at all. Don't recommend & won't go back.
