Came for supper with family. Had a great meal, the food was excellent. The ambiance inside was nice & service was friendly without being too intrusive or rushed. Would highly recommend the nachos, fish tacos, quesadillas & the arrachera tacos. As the sign says life is short, eat more tacos!

This restaurant is located in the former Chez Lambert restaurant in the heart of Saint-Lambert. Great service from Antoine as a walk in on a busy Saturday evening. We had the tacos al pastor & the the chicken quesadilla with margaritas.

Very very flavourful with good portions. Tender meat & great seasoning.

Everything was explained greatly by Antoine & we want to underline how great he made the experience.

We will definitely be coming back here again soon!

Si vous recherchez des tacos authentiques aller chez Capital Tacos. El Gordo est loin d'être un bon restaurant. Très déçu des saveurs des tacos. Le consommé est pas mauvais du tout par contre j'ai bien aimé.

Côté atmosphère, vraiment malaisant. Difficile à expliquer mais c'est comme si rentrais chez quelqu'un qui a de la musique dans son salon. Pas du tout le goût de rester là. Le service est correct sans plus.

Pour les prix & bien on s'en sort pas plus… 136$ plus tard pour 6 tacos, une soupe, guacamole & deux drinks. C'est sûr quand t'es pas satisfait ça l'aide pas leur cas….

Je ne vous recommande pas du tout ce restaurant. Un dîner rapide on the go PEUT ÊTRE ben mal pris mais sans plus !

Je vais finir cet avis en vous disant que l'expérience n'est pas du tout la même à celui de Montréal car j'avais été satisfait !
