Bonjour, Je suis arrivée seule dans ce restaurant qui était presque vide. On m'a proposé de m'installer dans un petit coin près des toilettes, ce que j'ai poliment décliné.
Concernant le repas, j'ai été déçue : la viande de mon taco al Pastor était tellement cuite qu'il était difficile de savoir s'il s'agissait de porc ou de boeuf, & elle était très grasse. La margarita avait un goût assez étrange & les chips étaient également très grasses.
Pour une facture de 74 $ (pourboire inclus), je m'attendais à une meilleure expérience. Dommage, car j'étais enthousiaste à l'idée de découvrir cet endroit.

Delicious tacos, add queso to your birria taco! Nice horchata. Some of the better tacos I've had in Montreal

Curiosity got the better of us, & we couldn't resist diving into the recent hype. Nestled in a vibrant corner of town, this taco restaurant promises to tantalize your taste buds-& let me tell you, it delivered!

From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped in a lively atmosphere perfect for a spontaneous taco night out. The energy was infectious, & we knew we were in for a treat!

We decided to start with the necessary birria tacos, our go-to gobernador tacos, & the tacos de pastor,  all of which were nothing short of amazing. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, with rich, savory meat enveloped in a perfectly crafted tortilla.  Their fresh & zesty toppings wowed us, radiating bold flavors.

To wash it all down, we sipped on a refreshing mezcalita, which did its job wonderfully after what seemed like the longest week ever. Its smoky notes & vibrant citrus made for an ideal pairing with the rich tacos.

Our experience was nothing short of spectacular-everything we tried was incredibly filling, yet we managed to enjoy every last bite. Whether you're a seasoned taco lover or just looking for a fun night out, this place is definitely worth the hype. We can't wait to return for another round of their delicious tacos! 🌮✨🥳

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 !
