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.

We ordered drinks & repeatedly asked to have them changed because there were insects in them, but the waiters always gave us the same glasses & said it was nothing. We ended up getting sick afterwards.

I went there to celebrate my graduation, & there was a mosquito in my drink. I sent it back & asked for it again, & still the same thing happened. So i changed my drink order & they took it off the bill.

Un jeune resto qui va sans doute s'améliorer, mais pour l'instant c'est correct, rien d'extraordinaire.
Le service est très nonchalant mais gentil & sympathique, avec des oublis comme des ustensiles, des napkins, les drinks qu'on a commandés (puis la tequila qui aurait dû être dedans une fois qu'on nous les a servis), les épices dans la viande… La musique de Pitbull circa 2011 ne contribue pas non plus à faire lever l'ambiance un peu morne. Peut-être qu'on a seulement été malchanceux ce soir, on ne sait jamais.

Listen, for $25 on a Tuesday, L'Estancia lets you eat unlimited tacos like it's a personal challenge between you & the French gringos from the Plateau.

The tacos themselves are okay. Nothing that'll make your abuela cry tears of joy. A very honorable middle ground. The food does exactly what it promises, & it promises volume.

But let's talk about the real MVP: the drinks. Whatever they're doing behind that bar deserves its own Yelp page.

Les tacos étaient secs, sans goût. La viande dans les tacos était sec. Pour le prix, j'ai déjà mangé mieux. Le nachos était bon & les drinks aussi, mais sans plus..

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!

My boyfriend & I went for our weekly date night since we had saw this from an influencers advertisement. Super excited to see an all you can eat. Unfortunately, we found bones in our chicken tacos, & the service was poor. we kept having to ask for things that weren't placed on our table such as water, utensils & sauces. Thankfully by the bartender that night we were given half price on our drinks which only came at the end of our meals :/ hopefully next time itll be bette

Seen this place on ig a couple weeks ago & we decided to hit up L' Estancia when we had that taco craving.. let me tell you, we were not disappointed! Drinks were fantastic as well as the food! They are doing really well running this place. Food came out hot & pretty quick. Service was excellent especially since the waiter was alone for money of the time we were here.

If you are having that craving for Mexican food ?? Hit up L' Estancia & tell em'

Jay sent ya!!
