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.

We had the quesabirria , tacos governador & the chillaquiles combinadas. Very good food although the red chilaquiles were a bit too acid. Apart from that the staff was very nice & the food came out quick !

We opted for the AYCE tacos. The steak & the pastor tacos were quite dry. But the chicken & vegetarian were delicious.

Also, not sure if it was from the AC, but the place smelled faintly like how a musty room would smell like.

We ordered the buffet, after asking the waiter for the second round of food, he asked whether we ordered the buffet. I guess a normal question to ask. Then i confirmed that we have indeed ordered the buffet. Then he said are you sure? What do you mean am i sure? Why would i ask for second rounds if i haven't ordered the buffet? Insulting & unprofessional service. The food is okay but COLD. A bit too oily too.

Un jeune resto qui va sans doute s'améliorer, mais pour l'instant c'est correct, rien d'extraordinaire.
Le service est très nonchalant mais gentil & sympathique, avec des oublis comme des ustensiles, des napkins, les drinks qu'on a commandés (puis la tequila qui aurait dû être dedans une fois qu'on nous les a servis), les épices dans la viande… La musique de Pitbull circa 2011 ne contribue pas non plus à faire lever l'ambiance un peu morne. Peut-être qu'on a seulement été malchanceux ce soir, on ne sait jamais.

Belle déco & super service, les seuls 2 étoiles. Par contre des tacos très fades, pas salés & très déçu de voir qu'il n'y a pas de guacamole!!! Le type de fromage pris est fade aussi, on ne le goûte pas du tout.
