La Capital Tacos is widely praised for authentic Mexican flavors, with tacos such as al pastor, birria, and carnitas built on fresh tortillas and well-balanced toppings, plus satisfying sides and a consommé on the side that adds depth. The drinks are well liked and the overall vibe is lively, casual, and distinctly Mexican, with some locations offering a terrace that adds to the experience. Service is generally friendly and efficient, though experiences vary with occasional long waits, especially on weekends, and a few missteps; overall the reviews point to high quality food and a fun atmosphere that makes it a go-to taco spot in Montreal. A few comments mention attention to dietary notes and occasional inconsistencies in portions or preparation, suggesting to go with the flow during busy times or consider reservations.
- no one greeted me at the door & it was hard to get a seat despite an empty bar
- there was no soap or paper in the washroom. An older gentleman had to let them know about the issue.
- it was difficult to get the attention of servers & workers. I have noticed that several parties also had the same issue. One person had to come up to the bar & asked to pay because they had places to be.
- I got asked if I wanted the bill twice. I waited for at least 10 minutes to get the bill.
- Birria portion was smaller than I expected & this dish came very fast, which was suspicious.
I realized that they were busy on Saturday evening but the overall experience was frustrating.
Won't be back.

We were in a group of 14 (sorry!) & Sonia took such such amazing care of us, kept us all set up with drinks & apps & good tacos with so much sweetness. Got the fish tacos & they were just the right amount of food. Sonia sorted out all our bills in the end with so much grace. Also incredible nails!
À chaque fois que je mange à la Capital je ne suis pas déçu. C'est super bon, les tacos Birria sont excellents, je recommande ! Très bonne vibes aussi 🍻
Fuimos hoy a las 18:00 y la que nos daba las mesas nos hizo una sena con la mano, toda desganada.
Ademas, las personas que estaban a lado eran quebecas y las atendieron super rápido ! Y la tipa que nos dio la mesa muy amable con ellas.
La mesera que nos atendió se le olvidó otro platillo que habíamos pedido.
Y un hombre de lentes, barba edad más o menos de treinta le dio el plato a mi mamá con mala gana y casi aventando el plato.
Que pena que entre mexicanos haya discriminación nunca más regresaremos ahí!
Y no fue la primera vez que nos hicieron eso, esta vez fue la segunda y queríamos ir para volver a comer comida mexicana.

Nous sommes allés aujourd'hui à 18h00 & la personne qui nous a placés nous a fait un geste de la main de façon très désagréable & sans aucune motivation.
En plus, les personnes assises à côté de nous étaient québécoises & elles ont été servies très rapidement, avec beaucoup plus de gentillesse. La dame qui nous a donné la table était très aimable avec elles.
La serveuse qui nous a pris la commande a oublié un autre plat que vous aviez demandé.
& un homme avec des lunettes & une barbe, d'environ trente ans, a servi le plat à ma mère de très mauvaise manière, presque en lançant l'assiette.
C'est vraiment dommage de vivre de la discrimination, surtout entre Mexicains. Nous ne reviendrons plus jamais.
& ce n'est pas la première fois qu'ils ont fait un coup comme ça.
First they had three vegetarian options which all tasted amazing, then two which is still a reasonable amount, & finally one. But at least there was still one & the flavour made up for it. Of course when I finally take my friends over for dinner, the one vegetarian option had run out for the night, leaving me with nothing to eat. Truly unfortunate to see.
when there last sunday with friends. they kindly provided a high chair for my friend's baby.
best tacos i've had in montreal.
Great service from the waiter with the moustache, can't remember his name.
I was told this was the best tacos in Montreal… Unfortunately, they were greasy yet dry & crunchy & pretty much tasteless, the coriander did ALL the heavy lifting!!! Avoid the al pastor tacos
