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.

S+ tier! It deserves more than it's current 4.5 star rating.

This place serves up some of the best birria tacos in Montreal, & the sauces that they have in the side are perfect. There's a really spicy one, & I just wanted to keep eating more & more of it. The sauces pair really well with the tacos - my mouth is watering as I am typing this review.

The tres leches cake was also served with really generous portions. I loved it. Honestly, if I wasn't at a restaurant & I was at home I'd be licking that plate clean like a dog. 😆 Their playlist is also really nice too.

First time here, we came for the'all you can eat taco' service.
When we walked into the restaurant, no host came to talk to us so we had to go to the bar to ask for a table (very Latin-American in that way, I guess, nothing really wrong with that).
The table was nice but sticky, I don't know why the wood table top was sticky, & the feeling in the arms is weird.
Anyways, going to the service, the menu is a choice of 6 types of tacos only. We tried all of them except for the vegan. The meat tacos were pretty dry (beef, chicken & sausage). They were clean & fresh but poorly seasoned. I was expecting more marinated work or something more laborious. We felt like they just drop ingredients into the taco but they didn't interacted in between them. It's hard to describe, pretty much like a Subway.
On the positive side, the service was simple but good, the ladies working there were gentle & the Mexican music was good.
I think they have potential to get better, but they need to fill those gaps.

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 would absolutely recommend this place.

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.
