Overall, reviews describe Dirty Tacos as a place where the food shines with fresh, flavorful Mexican flavors and well balanced fillings, especially the birria tacos, beef with cheese, and pork with pineapple and onions, with lightly charred tortillas and house made sauces that enhance rather than mask the meat; guests also mention solid options like pupusas, quesabirria, veggie burritos, and loaded nachos, all described as delicious and reasonably priced. The dining experience is mixed in terms of service and setting, with many praising friendly and speedy service while others report dismissive or inattentive attitudes and a lack of warmth; the space is described as small, cozy, and more kitchen than seating, making it feel better suited to takeout or pickup than for lingering meals. Several reviewers note portion sizes have shrunk compared to earlier visits, calling prices disappointing given the smaller portions, though the quality and freshness of ingredients remain high. Overall, Dirty Tacos is seen as a strong option for authentic, flavorful tacos and related dishes, recommended to try a range of options and to expect great taste even if the dine-in experience may vary.
This place is insanely delicious. The staff is so sweet - the place is a cozy hole in the wall & the food is beyond words - its so good. It's dangerous to have this place so close to my home

This place a on the small size, more kitchen then seating as they look to specilize in catering... The food made up for it all, had the pulled pork tacos 🌮 x3 & they were tasty. I recommend giving this place a try.
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.

Went to dinner with the family, nice warm cozy welcoming quaint restaurant.
My family is vegetarian, & the chef made some cauliflower seasoned to perfection in the veggie burrito, burrito bowl, tacos & Quessadilla. Very delicious food, will 100% dine in again next time we come near by.
