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.

I had an amazing experience at L'Estancia! The chilaquiles were absolutely delicious-full of flavor & perfectly prepared. The presentation was beautiful, you can really tell they care about the details.

The service was just as great. Our waitress was super friendly, welcoming, & attentive, which made the whole experience even better.

I also found the prices to be very reasonable for the quality of the food & service.

I would definitely come back & highly recommend this place!

Nous y sommes allés pour le buffet du mardi
Le service était exceptionnel, les tacos 10/10.
Ils ont même offert un gâteau d'anniversaire à mon amie car c'était sa fête.
On y reviendra très certainement.

I ate there this week. First impressions when walking in was the smell in there. It was not good, but I had decided to eat there & looking at the positive reviews on here I went ahead. I was surprised that they have a table service since I was more expecting ordering at the counter, & maybe it was because this place used to be a Subway. I got the seat I asked for since it was not busy. Service was not attentive, but at the same time nothing I can complain about. I ordered the chicken burrito. It didn't take too long to be served, but what a disappointment. It was basically a rice filled tortilla with few small pieces of chicken & some cheese. They definitely try to make it look nice with some freshly fried tortilla chips, guacamole & pico de gallo which was served on the plate. Lathered in sour cream & some mayo sauce didn't help. The best part of the plate was the guacamole.
Table was not cleared when I finished eating & asked to pay. I could also see that when the waiter cleared the tables around me after other customers that he didn't clean it with any product, just replaced the cutlery with clean glasses & pushed whatever was left on the table on to the floor with his fingers.
I'm happy to see a restaurant in my neighbourhood being replaced by a chain like Subway which I don't want in my area, but I will never go to this place again.
