Review Summary

L'Estancia is widely recognized as a go-to destination in Montreal for authentic Mexican cuisine, with many diners praising the flavorful birria tacos, hearty portions, and impressive drink menu, including notable margaritas and micheladas. While the majority of reviews highlight a welcoming atmosphere and attentive, friendly service, experiences can be inconsistent, with some patrons noting occasional issues regarding item availability, service speed during peak hours, and varying food quality. Despite these mixed encounters, the restaurant remains a popular spot that successfully captures a vibrant, home-style spirit, making it a recommended choice for those seeking a genuine taste of Mexico.

Cute place for some really good food. Their birria tacos were absolutely delicious & nicely filled, the refried beans were good too; the tortilla chips that came along with it were fresh & crunchy. The service was a little slow, but the employees made up for it by being so friendly & attentive if we needed something or had questions (confirmed that their birria & lamb is halal)

S+ tier! It deserves more than it's current 4.5 star rating.

This place serves up some of the best birria tacos in Montreal, & the sauces that they have in the side are perfect. There's a really spicy one, & I just wanted to keep eating more & more of it. The sauces pair really well with the tacos - my mouth is watering as I am typing this review.

The tres leches cake was also served with really generous portions. I loved it. Honestly, if I wasn't at a restaurant & I was at home I'd be licking that plate clean like a dog. 😆 Their playlist is also really nice too.

I tried this place yesterday. It was SO GOOD.

The service was nice & the food was absolutely delicious. We tried, birria tacos, steak tacos, & birria ramen. Everything tasted really fresh & like a warm hug.

I would absolutely recommend this place.

We decided to come here on a whim with my in-laws who are in town visiting from Mexico, & wow the food did not disappoint. Literally everything we ordered was delicious & approved by my in-laws. The chilaquiles with chorizo were delicious & very filling. The salsas were all tasty & spicy enough, & the micheladas were very tasty. My mother in law loved the birria & said it was perfectly seasoned. They even have a little cupboard in the front with Mexican candies & snacks. It's the perfect mix of Montreal & Mexico, with the food & view of outside. Very lovely, 10/10.

100% found my new go to spot for birria tacos! The drinks & the food were both fantastic & the atmosphere was casual with a fire playlist in my opinion :') I definitely recommend the birria tacos & the mango mojito (made with real mango) the service was good with room for improvement as I think the waiter forgot about us at first but regardless I had a great time here & will be coming back for more!
