As a Mexican, this restaurant has the best guacamole I've eaten in a long time + home made totopos! Thank you for bringing my mom's'sazón' to Montreal! Also, kudos on your little'panadería' pantry, it's so cool!
First time i went it was delicious. Everything was good! Service ok nice ambiance with live music. Second time I went it was packed service was bad but it was very busy. The foos was not good this time. Tacos lack of flavours
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'
A quiet place to eat, with a very Mexican atmosphere. They don't make you wait too long for your food. The servers are very friendly, & the food tastes good.

Un restaurant mexicain de cuisine authentique, portions hyper généreuses & plats savoureux & super service . Gracias para hacerme pasar un momento hermoso para el dia de mi cumpleanos y para la sorpreso de estilo mexicano! Viva Mexico! Un endroit qui vaut le détour à Mtl!
It's hard to mess up Mexican food. The dishes were I guess okay but nothing to write home about. Lamb barbacoa tacos messy & a bit soggy. Red chilaquiles not bad. Decided to eat as leftovers. 😅
Authentic mexican restaurant, serving huge portions & delicious flavors. The birria tacos are filled with amazing meat & lots of cheese. Love the shrimp tacos (gobernador).
I was super impressed with the GIANT margarita! Definitely the star of the show.
Overall, I had a great experience with good service :) the decoration inside the restaurant is a direct flight to Mexico.

Food did not have good taste. It wasnt balanced. Sauces were too spicy, many choices but with the same taste.
Service was slow, table was not fully set, although we had a reseevation.
