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.

Très déçu par cette soirée tacos à volonté.
Prix attractif mais qualité médiocre.

La viande était sèche & les sauces n'étaient visiblement pas changées entre les clients (morceaux de viande retrouvés à l'intérieur…). Nous avons dû réclamer les couverts à trois reprises & aller chercher nous-mêmes une carafe d'eau au bar, faute de service.

L'attente entre chaque service était beaucoup trop longue, au point de ne plus avoir faim pour profiter de la formule à volonté. La salle manque de chaleur, la décoration est peu soignée & la communication a été compliquée avec une serveuse ne parlant ni français ni anglais.

Je ne recommande pas. Je préfère manger des tacos de meilleure qualité à la carte dans un autre restaurant. Je ne comprends pas l'engouement autour de cet établissement sur les réseaux sociaux.

Une superbe découverte! Dès qu'on entre, on se sent presque transporté au Mexique, ce qui m'a rappelé mon voyage là-bas. L'ambiance est authentique, les plats sont délicieux & préparés avec des ingrédients frais. Le personnel est incroyablement poli, accueillant & toujours prêt à aider, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. Un excellent restaurant que je recommande sans hésiter!

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 had an amazing experience at L'Estancia! The chilaquiles were absolutely delicious-full of flavor & perfectly prepared. The presentation was beautiful, you can really tell they care about the details.

The service was just as great. Our waitress was super friendly, welcoming, & attentive, which made the whole experience even better.

I also found the prices to be very reasonable for the quality of the food & service.

I would definitely come back & highly recommend this place!
