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.
The food is okay. I know some wayyy better tacos in Montreal. I was even a bit disappointed because it's really pricey. The outside terrace is nice though, & we got great service.
Food was delicious but our waiter was really slow. When we first walked in he made it seem like there was no space. The bus girl sat us within seconds of seeing us. She ended up serving us most of the evening. She would have made an excellent server.
Was initially really looking forward to eating here! Food was mediocre & service was decent.
Unfortunately, we were charged a'special tax' that wasn't disclosed clearly on the bill which led to us being overcharged by around 5%. If you're not a local, I'd warn against eating here or be very cautious as they seem to be implementing some type of tourist tax.
Nous avons été pris 5min avant la fermeture des cuisines à 23h. Les serveurs étaient très aimables & accueillants malgré cela. Super bon tacos. N'hésitez pas !!

J'ai vécu 6 mois au Mexique & cela faisait longtemps que je voulais trouver un bon restau Mexicain. & je l'ai trouvé.
La nourriture est top, le service est nickel (merci Kyan) & les cocktails/boissons sont super aussi. Je recommande l'agua de horchata en soft & pour les cocktails la mezcalita habanera.
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.
Been walking in front of this restaurant forever & always wanted to give it a try. The front hostess was the sweetest sadly it all went downhill from there. Mezcalita I will admit was amazing, but the wait, the forgotten cutlery, the forgotten plates, the tasteless appetizer, soggy tacos, & then the bill with forgotten plates was just a big yeah no. Please skip, gracias.
Perfect mix of authentic Mexican & Tex-Mex options! Either you're a Mexican trying to find food that tastes like home or an American trying to find Tex-Mex... You've found the ideal spot! Representando México como se debe, con sabor y representando los colores tanto en comida como en decoración del establecimiento! ❤? 🇲🇽
Service horriblement long, pour manger 4 petits tacos. Terrasse au gros soleil sans ombre, & c'était pas clair si c'était ouvert ou non puisqu'il y a un autre restaurant de tacos juste à côté qui semblent communiquer. Sinon la nourriture est délicieuse, mais l'eau est chaude...
