Tacos al pastor are good. But the other meats are wayyyyy to slalty. The veal & the pork in particular. The rice as well very salty. Not to our taste unfortunately.View more

Sub par food.
Stale chips, weak portions, lack of flavour all around & over priced.
Also note that if you (like me) were going there for tacos, you can't mix n match options on the taco plate. You HAVE to get 4x a certain variety. Really lame lack of flexibility- especially for 18$ for 4 friggin teeny tacos.
Pictured is the nacho supreme & chicken quesadilla.View more

I ordered the tacos box, churros etc. The food was amazingly good. I'm giving them 4 stars because the portions of meats were way too small.View more

It was nice! They treated us with salsa & chips, the service was friendly.
There was a list of vegetarian options on the menu.
It's a restaurant + a small store with Mexican snacks, baked goods & in store made options (like guacamole).View more

Honestly some of the best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico. Definitely some of the best chilaquiles I've ever had. Great little spot next to Jean talon market.View more

Great place to eat Mexican food with a true Mexican flavor. Excellent place, always attentive to what is needed at the table, their food is as similar as possible to a Mexican dish.View more

Had a fantastic experience at Roi Du Tacos Restaurant! The atmosphere was lively, the food was absolutely delicious (highly recommend the tacos & guacamole!), & the service made it even better. A big shoutout to Mia!, our waiter - she was incredibly attentive, friendly, & made us feel right at home. From great food to warm hospitality, this place checks all the boxes. Definitely coming back soon!View more

BEWARE: don't go there if you value your teeth
I went there recently with a friend. We ordered tacos. The service was fast, & the food was decent, until… I was chewing & suddenly I bit on something rock hard; something which clearly had no business being in the food. I spitted out some of it on a napkin but all I could find were big pieces of my back molar (I probably swallowed the culprit). Then the atrocious pain came. My friend looked into my mouth & said that half of my tooth was gone. Obviously, the nerve was exposed because of the sensitivity. We called the waiter & he in turn called the owner/manager (he wouldn't say). This is when the whole matter took a nasty turn. Instead of apologizing & trying to make it better for me by cooperating, he got upset & told me there was no charge & to GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE. Yes, you heard! Even though I showed him the pieces of my tooth to prove I wasn't lying. The whole was so surreal that I felt compelled to start filming it; which is something I never do. I had to follow him through the place & he was very rude & dismissive: he said'I have nothing to say, call the cops if you want' & just kept prompting me to leave. The irony is that up to that point, I had no intention of hurting their reputation. Well, I went to the dentist & got a huge filling, but the damage is such that I will eventually need a root canal & a crown. Needless to say, a very expensive outing & extremely unpleasant to say the least.
