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.
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...

We had to wait a long time for our good because of a WiFi issue but the manager & our waitress were very upfront about the situation. They made sure we were taken care of. The food was delicious as always!
The tacos in Chinatown are truly exceptional. Everything was incredibly delicious. I now understand why there is always a queue when passing by in Chinatown. The très leche cake is a must
Comida para llevar , lunes por la noche despues de un dia muy largo , no conosco sus horarios , pase un pedido y lo acceptaron , pero al parecer ya estaban de salida , y sacaron todo del refrigerador , y lo mal empaquetaron pues la bolsa de papel venia rota de tanta grasa que salia por todos lados,.no se si fue la manipulacion del contuctor de uber que la haya puesto boca abajo o realmente solo fue mal cerrada con exceso de grasa , dificil decir pues la.bolsa estaba empapada de lo que creo era caldo de birria , despues de recibir un paquete asi... literalmente chorriando por todos lados es dificil empezar a comer con gusto asi que si trato de ser lo mas objetivo quitando que la comida estaba realmente fria , los empaques sucios y la comanda incompleta, podria decir que esta 6 de 10 , falta de sal al pastor y salsa arbor que se cobra extra no pica nada.... casi nunca pido refrescos pero ahora se me antojo una coca mexicana de vidrio....por 5 dolarsotes!!! Y me mandaron una big cola de lata o algo parecido... muy mala experiencia , la verdad hubiera preferido que cancelaran mi.comanda y buscar otra opcion o hacerme unos huevitos aqui en la casa ... ahora a dormir frustrado despues de pagar caro y tener que aventarme a limpiar mi casa por toda la.suciedad que se rego desde las escaleras... lo que se supone ser un servicio para facilitarte la.cocinada salio muy mal ... Claremente no volvere a pedir y este mensaje realmente creo se lo merecen, las fotos las subir Ala pagina del uber por si creen que exagero.....
I really like the food there, but the service is always kinda meh. They don't treat you nicely not all of them, but some of the staff really welcome you with an attitude haha 🤷🏻?♀?

➕? Rosarita (shrimp taco) was our top favorite. That being said, everything was so delicious 😍 if you are looking for a good taco restaurant, you have found the one!
➖? The fish in Pescado (fish taco) was a bit dry, I wish they were a bit more juicy.
This little joint is hopping all the time. The food is excellent & the drinks are not for the faint but they pair excellent with the food. Atmosphere is great but it can get loud due to it's size. We stayed in the area for a week & never saw an empty table. The servers are flying but still manage to make you feel welcomed.

Local style Mex restaurant among the many Chinese resto's. Felt untouristy. Great Beef & shrimp tacos. No chicken. Super guacamole.
Many items were gluten free. Veggie options.
I ordered from La Capital Tacos via UberEats & overall had a great experience. The portions were generous & everything arrived well-packaged & intact; clearly a lot of care went into the prep & delivery. The quality of the food was solid, & the delivery was prompt.
The birria tacos were tasty, but they missed the cilantro, which took away from the full flavor experience I was expecting. Additionally, the beef bone broth lacked depth, it just didn't have that rich, savory punch that usually makes birria so special.
That said, everything else hit the mark, & I'd definitely order again. Just hoping for a bit more attention to the details next time!
I recently visited La Capital Tacos at 1096 St Laurent Blvd, Montreal, Quebec H2Z 1J5, & what a incredibly vibrant place it is! 🌮 You can really feel that the team here is passionate about sharing the rich culture & history of their cuisine. The staff is friendly & welcoming, which immediately makes you feel at ease. 😊
I absolutely loved the open kitchen concept! It's fantastic to be able to watch the talented professionals at work, expertly preparing your favorite tacos right before your eyes. 👨?🍳🔥 & a great bonus - you can also grab some interesting cocktails there to go along with your meal! 🍹
I highly recommend La Capital Tacos for anyone looking for an authentic & lively experience with delicious food & great drinks!
