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.
Really excellent tacos, guac & drinks. Good service despite being busy. We got a spicy margarita, paloma, guac & chips, birria tacos & mushroom tacos (forget the menu name), all 10/10

The birria needs a lot of work. The beef is way too dry but the consommé is very good. The al pastor is a big highlight. Its so good. Everything else on the menu is excellent.
Depuis le premier jour cette endroit ma bien servie! Les plats son rester bon avec de bonne portion qui ne demande pas à toujours demander des extras. Leurs nachos son surtout excellent dans leur établissement. Malheureusement leur service est parfois un pu lent mais je crois que ces du au manque de staff que j'ai pu voir les jours que j'y était présent.
Cute ambiance & music. The food is flavorful & they have good cocktails! It is a good taqueria for Montreal. The waiters are nice. The service was laking a bit. The restaurant was almost empty & it was difficult to get the attention of the waiters. Also, it is a bit expansive for the size of the dishes but it is kind of normal based on where they are located. *Take note: For lunch, they only had a small menu since they are expanding & trying a new menu. There was only 5-6 different items on the menu (see pictures) The items on the menu are flavorful! However, it is very limited compared to their evening menu.

Service: My friend & I went on mai 5th. We called in advanced cause it was late & we were worried about the last call time. The guy on the phone told us if we could get there in five minutes we could be served & we were only 2 minutes away by car & surly got there just in time or so we thought. We got there & were met with a guy who immediately rejected us & told us it was last call. ( the guy in the phone could've simply said "sorry we can't seat you at this time" but he didn't & we had to deal with the whole staff visibly showing how upset they were that their co worker accepted us so close to last call) I told him & showed proof on my phone that I just called 5 minutes ago & he eventually sat us. I am aware & understanding of the fact that there was a water issue in the area at the time so I wasn't expecting too much as far as the presentation goes cause we were told we wouldnt be served in regular dishes cause on the ongoing water issue but what we didn't expect was no effort at all. As you can see in the photo, no effort at all when it came to the garnish on the rim of the cup. Just messy. The service was TERRIBLE. The chips for our guacamole came in a paper bag & I asked our waitress for a paper plate so my friend & I could properly eat. She came with the plate & rudely threw it at our table. The entire staff seemed very annoyed & weren't welcoming at all starting with the guy at the door who told us we couldn't be sat & the wittress who had an attitude the entire service & threw a plate at us :/ The guy who gave us our bill tried to make our experience better & was nice. Food: for the entry we shared some guacamole & chips. The guacamole was okay, the chips were great. We both got the berria tacos for our main dish, portions were small (3 tacos) considering other restaurants serve (3) larger tacos for around the same price point. As far as taste goes, very average not bad at all. We both got cocktails that were good & a bit stronger than what other places serve YET the garnish on the rim was done with 0 effort. Again I understand the circumstances but there was just 0 effort put into it. We got a cake to go that I though was good & my friend thought was « not that good »
Must visit place for all taco lovers. Excellent tacos, tried the shrimp tacos & they were delicious. There is always wait there so plan your visit accordingly.
Our Uber driver highly recommended this place. Tacos are very good. Not the best I've had but I love them. Sauces are good too. The vibe is nice. I like the decor & the patio. The service isn't bad either.

Ribeye not worth it. Pastor is great. Birria was good. You probably won't be full. Did a mini "food tour" with my Mexican family & went to a couple taco spots in town. The ribeye tacos were very underwhelming. The meat was 3/5. I got 3 of what was is in the photo plus a "grilled green onion" that was soggy. If you want authentic Mexican tacos, this specific dish ain't it. These are NOT worth what you get. Birria tacos were good. Not "out of this world!", but good & authentic. Tastes like what you would have at a family get together in Mexico. The pastor tacos were legit & very good. EASILY the best of the 3. If you want authentic Mexican tacos then I highly recommend this order. Overall first impression this place was okay. Didn't completely live up to the hype but I could give it 4 stars if their carnitas are good. Ribeyes were disappointing & pastor was really good so 3 is fair. Good music, nice atmosphere. Staff was good. Would return. Will try carnitas!
So good!! Had high expectations cause of the very positive reviews online & they smashed all of them! 100% recommend, I had whatever tacks had the grilled pineapple on them, don't remember the name but they didn't last 2 mins on my plate!
They seem to have moved to a daily menu style, at least for lunch, which makes for a fun rotating experience. I had the Birria - great stuff & I wish they gave more consommé, as well as a giant shrimp taco which was actually one of my favorite things to have tried. Solid Mexican spot in town!
Les tacos birrias super décevant .. pas grillés , pas de fromage & pas de goût . Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est. Service trop rapide & on n'a jamais reçu notre entrée , bref on n'y retournera pas.
