Pedí 4 tacos las tortillas pequenas pero bien servidas.
1 pastor rico pero llegó sin Pina
1 bistec rico pero la carne estaba dura
2 de bistec con chorizo, lo mismo la carne del bistec dura…
Personally, I really liked it. The guacamole is fresh, & the chips are equally fresh. The birria tacos I ordered were delicious. What I liked most was that the meat inside the taco wasn't too wet, which kept the tortilla from falling apart. On the side, there's the broth, which I thought was delicious. My partner didn't like the Dorados tacos because they didn't explain to him that they came with a lot of salad on top & that they also came in a kind of roll. That's why I gave it a 4-star rating, but the flavor was fine. The agua de Jamaica was delicious, & they told me they also make it daily, which makes it even better.
Todo muy rico,los tacos de birria muy jugosos delicioso,mis amigos ordenaron unas quesadillas las recomiendo.Excellente servicio Naomi atendio nuestra mesa de 11 personnas y nos dio el mejor servicio de la noche.Recomiendo mucho este restaurante para un buen ambiente con tus amigos.
C'était un pur délice, on a adoré. On a pris les tacos birria, quesadillas & burrito. Meilleure cuisine mexicaine que j'ai testé jusqu'à présent à Montréal 🥰🥰

Starters & desserts were great! The chicken in both tacos & burrito was too bland (no flavor). Had to put a lot of sauce to make it edible. The tortilla itself was pretty good!
Loved the drinks as well. Service was amazing & polite :)
All 6 of us got there at 10am for a Sunday brunch (with reservations, made 3 weeks before). We were handed the brunch menu. After 20mins, the waitress decides to take our order, we order & then she decides to tell us that more than half of the brunch menu is not available, no explanation, just not available. She gives us another 10mins to switch our choices. We start ordering & then again, other items are not available 🤔 not sure why she did not tell us all that from the beginning.
They didn't have Café de Olla, they had no horchata, but the waitress told us that she could make some horchata if we waited 30mins, which we did.
We get the food, the presentation was ok, but it was not great, it lacked flavour & the guacamole did not taste very fresh. The presentation looked nothing like on Instagram. They didn't have our 1st nor 2nd choices, & the drinks were not available.
Overall, not the best experience, food wise & service wise, there is room for improvement. I would wait until they sort things out before visiting them.

The food was amazing. I had the huarache, half pastor half birria & it was very good, I'm mexican & I felt at home. The service could be a little faster, but our waiter & bartender was very nice to us. Definitely coming back
L'Estancia's tacos al pastor & pastor burrito were bursting with authentic flavor - every bite was perfection. The drinks were just as impressive, rounding out an unforgettable meal!
Très bonne nourriture typique du Mexique accueil chaleureux & excellent service ambiance agréable avec le chansonnier le samedi soir
Je recommande ce restaurant pour toute ces raisons j'y retournerai prochainement
