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.

La qualité des plats n'est malheureusement pas à la hauteur & c'est dommage parce que l'ambiance est super & le service en espagnol très sympathique !
J'avais pris les tacos mais les galettes étaient clairement industrielles & petites & ça manquait de goût.

AYCE tacos on Tuesday/Wednesday is definitely worth it. Service was excellent. Atmosphere = great! Highly recommend asking them about the snacks they have on display.

Listen, for $25 on a Tuesday, L'Estancia lets you eat unlimited tacos like it's a personal challenge between you & the French gringos from the Plateau.

The tacos themselves are okay. Nothing that'll make your abuela cry tears of joy. A very honorable middle ground. The food does exactly what it promises, & it promises volume.

But let's talk about the real MVP: the drinks. Whatever they're doing behind that bar deserves its own Yelp page.

I firmly discourage you to go! Beware!!

Both of my friends ordered the all you can eat chicken tacos.

Both of them felt sick after eating their plate

I believe the chicken was undercooked as it had no firmness to itself.

One of my friends vomitted in front of the restaurant because of how sick she was.

We had to exit the restaurant fast because of how sick they felt & how hot the store is (everyone is very close to each other, no circulation of air)

After explaining the situation to multiple servers, we received no compensation or even empathy. They refused to assume accountability when they both felt great coming in the restaurant & felt sick after eating their chicken.

Lucky for me I had ordered a different thing.

Or was I lucky? The side of chips that is supposed to be complimentary to your 22$ 3 tacos plate is basically 8 chips as you can see in the picture.

Very poor service (no water served before asking mid dinner, no sauces on table before asking)

Anyways, asking clients that just threw up your whole food in front of the place to pay is honestly ridiculous.

Also, we called to make a reservation days before, they told us it wasn't needed because they'll have place & we ended up waiting 20 minutes in a cramp place where everyone goes in & out & servers passes so you got a squeeze in left & right for a good 20 minutes to be seated.

Good luck!

Viande trop cuite & pas assez d'ananas dans le tacos al pastor & pas assez de coriandre. Plus le fait que j'ai pris 4 tacos comme sur le menu & ils en ont mis seulement 3 & m'ont dit que c'était le menu qui arrivait bientôt? lol Come on! Une des sauces rouge était très salé, immangeable. Le porc effiloché est vraiment meilleur avec le tacos al pastor que ce porc sec & froid. Never again! & les tortillas presque cru pas assez cuit.
