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.

I absolutely love Mexican food, was delighted to add yet another new Mexican restaurant to my list. This place has the best portions I have ever seen at a Mexican restaurant. My friends birria tacos were huge. When I saw them I said'if that's how big the tacos are, I wonder how big my burrito will be!' - It was massive!! So generous with the ingredients too. Some places will cheaply fill out the burrito with rice/beans- not this place! Plenty of meat & globs of cheese. I didn't come to drink, but they could improve the cocktail menu with a couple more house-signature cocktails. Service was great here, the young man serving us was truly polite. Prices are pretty reasonable here too, especially considering the huge portions. I hope this place stays for years to come, looking forward to returning after I cross off a few more Mexican restaurants I got left on my list.

Probably the best birria I had in town so far. It wasn't too salty or felt too rich & fatty after a few bites. It was perfect. The tacos gobernador was a shrimp taco that was weirdly salty because of the cheese but in a good way? It was odd. I would never put cheese & shrimp together but they made it work! It was also nice that the tacos came with some chips on the side!

L'Estancia est un incontournable ! Leurs tacos birria sont savoureux, tendres & pleins de saveur. Les empanadas sont croustillantes & délicieusement garnies. Une expérience culinaire à ne pas manquer !

Absolutely delicious gem in the Plateau. Very affordable prices, tasty food & good portions. We tried the Tacos de birria & the quesadilla gigante con pastor, & added a glass of horchata. The staff is super nice & we were full the entire afternoon. 100% recommended! I will be coming back.
