La Toxica

We had a really great experience at La Tóxica!

The place is very nice & has a fun atmosphere, the music was great, & the waitresses were friendly & attentive. Our food didn't take long to arrive either, so overall the service was excellent.

The tacos were really good & MUCH bigger than we expected! They're very generous with the portions, & the meat had great flavor.

The only thing I wasn't completely in love with was the salsa. For my taste, it could use a little more flavor. They also give you only a few lime wedges with the tacos, but honestly, that's easily solved by asking for more. 😂

& the micheladas… absolutely delicious! Definitely one of the highlights.

We also tried the birria burrito, & the flavor was really good! The only thing is that I felt it was missing some of that traditional birria broth or juiciness. The meat was a little dry, so it felt more like shredded beef than the birria I'm used to. & as a Mexican, I have to mention the rice in the burrito 😂 I know all the ingredients are very Mexican, but in Mexico we don't usually put rice inside our burritos, so that part always feels a little strange to me! Still, it was tasty & we enjoyed it.

Overall, everything was wonderful: good food, generous portions, friendly service, great music, & a really nice atmosphere. We had a great time & would definitely come back! 🌮🍺

a great spot if you're craving authentic Mexican flavors. The tacos were delicious, the aguachile was fresh & packed with flavor, & the sauces really elevated every bite. Everything tasted fresh & well-seasoned

La Toxica was absolutely fantastic. The food is the real star here-everything we tried was packed with flavor, fresh, & clearly made with care. On top of that, the portions are huge, so you definitely get your money's worth.
Service was quick & super friendly, & the whole place had a great vibe. They even had multiple TVs showing the World Cup, which made it even more fun to hang out & enjoy the meal.
Easily one of the best spots in Montreal if you care about seriously good food & generous portions.

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 had no flavor at all. It tasted like it wasn't seasoned.

Authentic flavors, generous portions, & a chill vibe. The alambre de res is next level. Great place to unwind & eat well.

Two juicy beef birria tacos loaded with melty cheese, topped with fresh onions & cilantro, all wrapped in golden, pan-fried tortillas. Served with a side of rich, slow-cooked consommé - deeply savory, spiced to perfection, & made for dipping. Every bite is a flavor explosion. 😊
