Enchiladas with super sour green sauce, probably from a can, & red sauce, not bad, 6/10. Tacos al pastor, not much meat for the price, & the menu says 4 but I got 3, but the flavor was pretty good, 10/10. Quesadilla 8/10, the tortilla was too brown & not fresh. Huarache was really good, generous, & tasty 10/10, & their Mexican bread was awesome, just like at home. The downside is that, like in Mexico, they use a lot of vegetable oil or margarine. I'll be back for sure, hope will be better next time

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'

Jay sent ya!!

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.

If you're looking for flavour packed Mexican food, this is your spot! Quaint little restaurant, family owned, decent prices, & friendly service. Guacamole was fresh & a perfect balance between salty, sour, & rich/creamy. Quesadilla & tacos were generously portioned with meat & toppings. Crispy & flavourful. Would definitely come back again!

If you are looking for a brunch that breaks away from the usual eggs-Benedict-&-avocado-toast routine, L'Estancia brings something bold & fresh to the table with its vibrant Mexican-inspired brunch, served daily until 2 PM. Tucked into a lively pocket of the city, this spot fuses colorful ambiance, flavorful plates, & an effortlessly cool vibe that feels like a little escape-without ever leaving town.

PS: I'll be posting a video review soon on TikTok (@Foxy.appetite) & Instagram (@Foxyappetite)-stay tuned!

Atmosphere & Decor

From the moment you walk in, L'Estancia charms you with its lively, joyful aesthetic. Think bold murals, playful visuals, & a kaleidoscope of color that practically begs to be photographed. The lighting is flattering, the art is fun, & the playlist adds energy without overpowering conversation. It's the kind of space that instantly lifts your mood-ideal for catching up with friends or snapping a brunch selfie (or three).

?

Food & Drink

I went with the El Chechito ($21.45), a well-composed plate that included:
• Two perfectly cooked eggs
• Crispy bacon
• A half mollete (an open-faced Mexican sandwich) layered with beans & fresh pico de gallo, served on bread that hit the sweet spot: crispy outside, soft inside
• Seasoned breakfast potatoes
• A red fruit crêpe to satisfy that sweet brunch craving

Every element played its part, but the mollete was the real MVP-warm, comforting, & packed with flavor & texture. The fruit crêpe was a lovely contrast, adding a light, tangy-sweet finish to the meal. I especially appreciated the use of fresh berries & whipped cream instead of the overdone banana combo you see everywhere else.

To drink, I had a Cosmopolitan ($13), which was bright, balanced, & not overly sweet-surprisingly perfect with brunch. My aunt ordered an espresso martini made with rum, which gave the classic a smooth, tropical spin she couldn't stop raving about.

?

Service

The service was a strong point-warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. Staff knew the menu well & were quick to offer helpful suggestions. Food & drinks came out at just the right pace, giving us time to relax & enjoy without feeling rushed.

?

Final Thoughts

L'Estancia isn't just a place to eat-it's a vibe. Whether you're out for a brunch date, reconnecting with friends, or flying solo & treating yourself, this spot delivers an experience that's both flavorful & fun. With its New Mexican twist, thoughtful menu, & ultra-Instagrammable decor, it's easily one of the more memorable brunches in Montreal.

Pro tip: Snap a few pics while you're there-the ambiance deserves a spot on your feed.

El pastor estaba dulce, y no parece comida mexicana /: me cayó pesado. El servicio bueno. Pero la comida le falta mucho sabor.
Pedí una quesadilla y estaba frita y se sentía vieja la tortillas.

I absolutely love Mexican food, was delighted to add yet another new Mexican restaurant to my list. This place has the best portions I have ever seen at a Mexican restaurant. My friends birria tacos were huge. When I saw them I said'if that's how big the tacos are, I wonder how big my burrito will be!' - It was massive!! So generous with the ingredients too. Some places will cheaply fill out the burrito with rice/beans- not this place! Plenty of meat & globs of cheese. I didn't come to drink, but they could improve the cocktail menu with a couple more house-signature cocktails. Service was great here, the young man serving us was truly polite. Prices are pretty reasonable here too, especially considering the huge portions. I hope this place stays for years to come, looking forward to returning after I cross off a few more Mexican restaurants I got left on my list.
