Review Summary

La Capital Tacos is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal for authentic Mexican cuisine, with many diners praising the flavorful tacos, handmade tortillas, and delicious margaritas. The restaurant typically offers a vibrant, lively atmosphere that makes guests feel like they are visiting Mexico. While the quality of the food and the energetic vibe earn high marks from many, the dining experience can be inconsistent. Service levels frequently fluctuate, with some patrons enjoying exceptional, welcoming care from dedicated staff, while others report long wait times, difficulty getting attention, or occasional mistakes with orders. Additionally, some guests find the portion sizes small relative to the price point, and the popularity of the location often results in crowds, noise, and potential delays.

You want tacos? This is your spot!

From a Mexican that lived 5 years in Mtl this has been the best Mexican food restaurant so far.

The staff is great, very attentive & the service is top notch.

The carnitas tacos are my recommendation but everything tastes like Mexico! The corn tortilla is amazing!

First of all, they have the best welcoming staff ever, so decent & helpful, all of them ! & thats give us a lovely vibes.

The food not our taste, not wow, average.
Love the shrimp taco more than the beef & the guacamole was good & tasty.

Unfortunately, no chicken option!

The noise of music too loud for us inside the restaurant.

The stars for the lovely staff, they deserve 10 stars out of 5 ❤?

Cold tortillas tacos
When we arrived there was not one to sit us. The waiter took at least 10 min to bring the menus. We were ready to order & it took another 15 min to ask for our order. The order took prob 30 min to arrive. My friend order a quesadilla but the plate is way too small for the quesadilla so the quesadilla filling was falling outside the plate. I got 3 tacos with cold tortillas so clearly they did not take time to warm the tortillas. They did not bring us the sauces. I had to ask a random server for the sauces & she was not happy about it. Nobody asked if we needed something else, another drink, or if everything was fine. We asked for the bill & it took ten minutes for it. We asked for one bill & the waiter brought us two. Horrible service not recommended. Asking for a tip in this place should not be allowed because you barely get serviced. I looked around & people were clearly unhappy as well. The prices are high for what it is offered. A margarita is 16 dollars, but you can find the same prices in better & cleaner places. Also, you can find similar tacos in places with better service. The washrooms were dirty. The cold water was not working in the washrooms. All around a bad experience.

Tacos were pretty good. The guacamole appetizer was a bit odd as we got a nice sized bowl of guacamole but only a tiny bowl of chips with it (both bowls were the same size). Service was good, very attentive, even picking up napkins as they were dirtied.
