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.
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.
Ordered the Birria Tacos & the Tres Leches Cake. Just perfection. Service was fast paced & efficient!! Gotta make a reservation. I was lucky to find a spot in the bar! I give this place 5 mexican flags 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
The food was good, as usual. I went at lunchtime. It was not empty at all. The service was very bad. It took them ages to take our order & they missed one item.
I have visited this place a lot. The food is usually good but the last time I visited, I felt the quality was not the same. This was extremely frustrating due to the relatively high prices for the portion size.
Regarding the atmosphere, it has always bothered me since it is a small restaurant with many tables that are very close. It is usually really hard to sit down & talk since it gets extremely noisy.
