The first and the best for All You Can Eat Tacos! 🔥🌮
At La Tóxica, we're the originals, the ones who launched this unique experience in Montreal, and we remain the best at offering you unlimited tacos full of authentic flavors.
La Toxica shines with vibrant Mexican flavors, especially birria tacos and al Pastor, with generous portions and refreshing cocktails that pair nicely with a festive, upbeat atmosphere. Guests describe a lively vibe with music that invites dancing and a warm, friendly service that often comes quickly, making it a great spot for groups and celebrations. The ambiance is repeatedly praised for its colorful decor and party energy, though a few reviews note it can feel cafeteria-like or loud at times. Birria tacos and the ramen version are among the highlights, and the drinks, including margaritas and Palomas, are frequently praised for flavor and value. The all you can eat option elicits mixed reactions, and some menu gaps or pricing concerns are mentioned, but the overall experience tends to lean toward enjoyable and authentic Mexican fare with a fun, welcoming scene.
Great experience - highly recommend for groups of friends.
I went for the all-you-can-eat tacos last Tuesday & wasn't disappointed. Honestly, I enjoyed all the flavors available in the rotation. That said, I do think the variety is a bit limited: birria, carnitas, steak, chorizo, plus a vegetarian option if you ask. Everything tasted good, even the birria - although it didn't really resemble any birria I've had before (it felt more like meat in a tomato-based sauce), but still enjoyable.
One thing that seems pretty standard for all-you-can-eat taco spots in Montreal is that you only get the tortilla & the meat - no cheese, guacamole, or sour cream included. Even so, the price is great for what you get. The'spicy' sauces they offer are actually really good, especially the green one.
Nice atmosphere, very Latin vibe. Service was good - I really liked our server, with that warmth & friendliness that only us Latinos seem to have 🙂
We were hungry & another nearby taco place was packed. La Toxica quickly sat us, & the vibe seemed good. We ordered birria tacos, chicken tacos e birria ramen. The food came out at the same time as our drinks…very quickly. The beef birria was catastrophically bland. Like unseasoned. Luckily the consommé had a bit of flavor, but these were not good. The birria ramen was okay - basically ramen noodles in consommé with some of the same flavorless beef. Not hugely impressed but it seems like they do good birthday business (there were 6-7 birthday sparklers over the 45 minutes we were there).

The food was absolutely delicious. The birria tacos are a must. The Paloma is divine. But it was not busy & the service was so slow & we had to flag the waitress down every single time. Kinda a bummer because the vibe was fun & food & drinks were great. I might give this place a second chance.
Insane that this restaurant doesn't have atleast 4.7-5 stars. I am an avid taco enjoyer in Montreal. I look for the best birria tacos. This place is definitely a top 2 for taste & #1 for value!! Birria tacos are expensive here but haven't found better price to flavour value. Amazing vibes, great ambiance, service is quick, & attentive. Would recommend & obviously will be back (probably once a week)
One of the most underrated spots in Montreal for sure. The service is impeccable. The place looks gorgeous. Everything is great. The food is simply amazing. The servers are familiar with their menus & can help you make your choice which is a nice touch for those who are sometimes struggling to make their mind up about what they want to eat. I'm not sure whether or not it is an everyday occurrence, but if you happen to be there when the mariachi band is, prepare for amazement. Their music is simply beautiful. It enhances the already excellent atmosphere & contributes to making the vibes simply immaculate. If ever it's your birthday or if you're celebrating anything, you let them know & see what they can come up with for you. Would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to try out Mexican food in a restaurant with amazing vibes.
Been wanting to go to the Mile End location for a while, so was excited to see they opened up closer to me downtown. The food here is smashing, really loved my burrito. Great salsas with proper thickness, not too watered down like some places. The space is put to great use - lots of seating & vibrantly decorated in Mexican splendor. The place has a very authentic Mexican vibe to it, it actually strongly reminded me of a place I tried in Mexico City. I also love how they tied the exterior art into Chinatown to pay homage to the neighbourhood. The service was fantastic as well. Not hard on the wallet either. I'd love to return for the AYCE special sometime. They got hit with some bad PR at one point but if you look into the details of the incident, it wasn't really directly on them & if it was, it was just one individual not the entire business. A lot of these 1 star reviews are fake reviews trying to be SJW's on here, I would not let those deter you from coming.
Yeah tell people you found the BEST authentic taco place in middle of china town in Montreal. They will think your crazy....you know what crazy, not going here for some damn good tacos. Walked in here having crossed it earlier in the the day. Best decision of the day. Thought we were crashing a party. Seems like it was everyone's party. Food was fantastic got it quick the prices are great, the vibe was to die for. Live music dancing everywhere just plain joy that was palpable. Saturday night is def where's it's at!!! It's a staple stop in my visits from now on!!!
