Overall, La Capital Tacos earns frequent praise for authentic Mexican flavors, with handmade tortillas and a wide range of fillings like birria, al pastor, quesabirria, carnitas and cochinita pibil, and standout dishes such as the pirata quesadilla and a tres leches cake. The drinks program is often highlighted, with margaritas and mezcalitas pairing well with the food. The atmosphere is described as lively and welcoming, with a colorful, cozy dining room, though seating can be tight and the space gets crowded on busy nights. Reservations are commonly recommended to secure a spot, as lines and wait times can occur. Service is generally friendly and efficient, but several reviews cite occasional delays, missed items, or difficulties honoring special requests during peak periods. Some diners feel portions are small or prices high for what is served, while others consider the value fair given quality and flavor. A consistent thread is the authenticity and freshness of ingredients, with many noting the tortillas and salsas as standout details and the option to enjoy a vibrant mezcal or margarita alongside the meal. Overall, it is viewed as one of the top Mexican spots in Montreal, inviting repeat visits despite occasional service hiccups.
La Capital Tacos is a great spot if you're craving authentic Mexican flavors. The tacos were absolutely delicious - super flavorful, well seasoned, & served on fresh tortillas with simple, quality toppings. The consommé on the side was a nice touch & added even more depth to the meal.
We also tried a few sides & everything was on point, especially the balance of flavors & freshness.
The place itself has a really nice vibe - clean, modern, & cozy without trying too hard. Service was friendly & efficient, & everything came out quickly.
Overall, a solid spot that delivers on both quality & experience. Definitely worth checking out if you're into tacos.

I went for the third time last night & the tacos are amazing every time! My favourite ones are the birria tacos :)
My friend & I shared a Quesadilla too, it was delicious!
Not only was the food great, but our waitress Sonia was really funny & a great vibe to end the day with!
Thank you Sonia!!
Returned after 5+ years & was disappointed. The food quality seems to have gone downhill, & my friends all agreed. The birria tacos came without cheese, & the medium guacamole portion was small with no option for a large.
Drinks were good, but with so many great Mexican spots in Montreal, this one didn't stand out. Hopefully it was just an off night.
Incredible tacos! The Peuvre au Pastor was delicious & fresh, the Thon Aplati was so well balanced, & light, & the Taco Doré de Marlin was juicy, & just the perfect portion size. The RIBEYE tacos, the Carnitas, the Capechena, & the Birria were all phenomenal, would definitely make this a regular stop if I lived here. Super busy on weekends so make a reservation in advance. If you are looking for dessert get the Tres leches cake, c'est bon.

Taco was good, juicy & guacomole was fresh & tasty.Excellent margarita !Staff polite, friendly .Our waitres Sonya very nice,cheerful, energetic & happy person made our stay very positive expierience.
This place is one of the best in Montreal for tacos. There are all kinds of protein from fish to pork to beef to lamb. We found the tacos to be tasty but I only have it 4 stars because I believe they can do better considering they are charging 5.50$/taco & depending on your selection of meat the taco price can go up another 1.50$. The server was nice. The atmosphere was ok but nothing particularly special. Overall it's a tasty taco takeout place but slightly overpriced.
Si estás en Montreal, tienes que probar los tacos de aquí: auténticamente mexicanos y llenos de sabor.
La atención de todo el equipo es excelente y el dueno nos hizo sentir como en casa.
¡Muchas gracias y mucho éxito!
One of our favorite meals in Montreal. They serve on classic Chinese-restaurant dishes to make a nod to their location in Chinatown. Their signature tacos are thick & freshly made with flavorful fillings (mushrooms & carnitas were our favorite). Guacamole was excellent. Recommend making a reservation because it's small & gets busy.
