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.
Authentic Mexican tacos in the heart of Chinatown in Montreal! Cochinita Pibil, Pastor & Birria tacos were great. Really good chips & guac. Very friendly staff, she even offered me a bite of her Papas con Veneno! ❤?
Dinner time! Stopped in for some tacos as we have heard good things about this restaurant. Not very expensive, but very tasty tacos! Enjoyed the guacamole to start as well.
We had the Carnitas & Pastor, with a guacamole to start. Really enjoyed all of it, but the Carnitas were the winner with some hot sauce & lime added. Delicious.
Great place to stop & eat, & won't break the bank.
I Revisited La Capital & I tried the Speciality Menu (Barrio) which the single tacos were Amazing !! They were Full of Flavour & Fresh Ingredients! It's a popular place amongst locals so come early to get a seat! Again, the Service Staff were Excellent! They take the time to explain the wonderful & tasty dishes. Overall the tacos are very good & they have a decent drink menu. Thank you guys & I will definitely be back again to try the other Tacos !!!
I would give this place an extra star if i could. Some of the best food ive ever had. The food was very authentic & the atmosphere was very homey as a latino. Workers were very nice & friendly. Highly recommend this place.
The bartender girl was amazing & attentive but the male waitress were awful & ignored me, kinda racist & its sad because as a mexican i wanted to try my food in Montreal & I was treated with less courtesy than the other costumers...

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.
One of the best Margaritas & tacos I've ever had.The experience at La Capital Tacos is awesome, not only for its delicious food & drinks, but also thanks to the friendliness & good vibes of the entire staff. Everything we've tried is delicious. Our favorites are the tacos al pastor, the quesabirria, & the beans. All the margaritas are delicious, from the classic to the tamarindo. My husband & I go quite often, just the two of us or with friends, & we always leave very pleased & want to return soon. Although there are sometimes lines, it's totally worth the wait, as the entire experience, from the food & drinks to the cheerful & pleasant atmosphere, is truly unforgettable.
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.
Meilleure place de tacos à Montréal
La nourriture est délicieuse & le service est excellent! Parfait pour un quick snack mais je recommande d'y aller pour un souper complet! La barmaid Marie-Josée a rendu notre expérience unique! Nous avons passé une très belle soirée! Meilleures margaritas en ville!
El servicio es muy amable y todos son atentos. No tardan en servirte tus alimentos.
El sabor de los tacos es bueno y tienen ese toque mexicano, las salsas les falta un poco de picante.
El ambiente es muy relajado, para poder disfrutar con la familia

As a vegetarian, I often have a tricky time finding places that serve flavorful vegetarian options without soy. I tried the choriopa taco( has soy) but had to try , which wasn't my favorite, but the hongos al ajillo were absolutely delicious-so full of flavor that I had to go back for seconds.drinks are good as well
For dessert, we enjoyed what was hands down the best tres leches cake I've ever had.
Overall, the menu is well thought out, packed with flavor, & full of authenticity.
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.
