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.
Service not bad & tacos are good (homemade tortilla), & they're consistent, which is cool. Just don't rush to pay the bill & tips, if you don't drink alcohol the witnesses gonna push you away.
The food was delicious, especially the tortilla chips. The service was fast, but the prices are a bit on the higher side considering the portion sizes.
Tacos birria très goûteux & portion généreuse. Le consommé est excellent, parfaitement piquant. Seul gros bémol est que les tortillas ne sont pas'cuites' dans le consommé. C'est une tortilla souple pour taco normal.
Sin duda los mejores tacos que he probado en Montreal
Gran variedad de cocteles y la comida con sus tortillas hechas en casa simplemente increible.
Servicio rápido y muy amables
Going downtown means a must-stop at La Capital Tacos. I love their nixtamalized tortillas, they make all the difference when it comes to authentic Mexican flavor. It was a very busy day, but the service was excellent. We felt lucky to find a spot on their terrace & cool down with a delicious cocktail. I always come back I love the food & how the super friendly staff treats me.
Looking for something typical of my country Mexico 🇲🇽, we found the best tacos in Montreal, made with blue tortilla by themselves, without missing the glass coca 🤤🤤
Pedi la quesadilla de maíz azul, me dieron una tortilla de maíz normal lo peor es que no me dijeron nada y cuando se los comente fue solo como "ah se nos termino"

Le meilleur spot à Tacos à Montréal! Les tacos goûtent comme ceux que font nos abuelitas, fait avec amour & ça paraît que la viande est marinée à la perfection. Nous avons pris une quesadilla Gringa & une Quesabirria. La sauce qui accompagne la Quesabirria est juste parfaite, ça goûte similaire al caldo de res 👌🏽 comme Tacos on a choisi Al pastor & Ribeye avec l'option de tortillas maison! On recommande le cocktail Mescalita jamaika!
Underwhelming & lacking flavour. Mealy & pasty tortilla shells. Cheese is extra on some tacos, & not even an option on others. Flavourless consommé. I enjoyed the quesadilla, but the birria was bordering on inedible.
Tacos are always great but last time I went they served me dry meat for my tacos Al pastor & reheated tortillas clearly from the day before. The waitress said it was her new tortilla process but cmon I was with my Mexican friends & they know they're food. Definitely was disappointed, not sure I'll be back.

Take it from some One who knows Tacos & I a very picky taco eater it has to be close to the real deal, & this one is. The flavor is there the perfection in the tortilla I mean such a great place! Best late Sunday night tacos !
Originally from California & we came to visit from Arizona & found this spot after craving some Mexican food... very similar to our favorite spots in Arizona & California & I highly recommend. Both of their salsas are excellent. Their tacos of Carnitas were good & also the quesabirria! The Paloma drink was awesome also! Their tortilla chips were authentic!
