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.
