At Taco & Margarita, reviews describe a lively Mexican spot with a festive vibe driven by live music, karaoke, and birthday celebrations that make the whole place feel part of the party; the food earns frequent praise for authentic flavors, with cochinita tacos, birria, quesabirrias, pescado tacos, fajitas, and fresh guacamole among the standout dishes, and the drinks and margaritas are noted as generous and well balanced. Service is described as friendly, fast and attentive, though some mentions of slow service during peak hours and occasional billing hiccups appear. Ambience is a major draw, loud and energetic but fun, with a crowd that loves dancing and celebrations, while a few readers find the noise excessive for conversation. Portions are often large and price points vary, with some calling it good value and others noting it as pricey for the size. Overall it comes across as a top pick for parties and birthdays with strong flavors, vibrant atmosphere, and a willingness to return for the experience.
Un super restaurant, de la bonne bouffe, des bons drinks, de la bonne musique & surtout un staff gentil & attentif (merci Santiago!)
Je vais y retourner c'est sû
I've been dying to go to this place for the past year & decided to take my fiance for our anniversary. Sadly my experience wasn't what everyone raves about I was VERY disappointed. Visually the restaurant is bright & beautiful I love the decor & the atmosphere. The food on the other hand was not just extremely over priced but disgusting. I ordered the carnitas tacos the were very soggy from the oil, lacked flavour & was FULL of wet soggy fat thinking about it makes me nauseous. My fiance ordered the pambazo I believe that's what it's called kinda like a chorizo sandwich. The chorizo was tasty but there was very little it was more bread than anything & the bread wasn't fresh at all we also ordered the quacomole which wasn't so bad it was just very salty. We couldn't even finish our food ended up taking it home & throwing it in the garbage. The service wasn't that great they were not attentive & not really welcoming the bartender was the only one that seemed friendly & honestly the drinks are the one thing we actually enjoyed. We ended up spending 140$ in the end & it was a waste. Also I was really sick the next day my stomach was not happy. We wanted to try it again ordering something different to give this place a second chance but won't because the disappointment was next level. Maybe for drinks but not for food.

Always such a good time at taco & margs! Love their quesabirria tacos & shrimp tacos, & the drinks are strong & tasty. Fun atmosphere often with live music & a fiesta vibe after 10pm on the weekends
Today I decided to come to the restaurant to eat. we managed to get a reservation for 6 o'clock. If you're planning to try out this restaurant, please make reservations before going. Very clean & very organized lots of waiters & waitresses lots of food options, services beyond fast, lots of drink options & good music. Hands down probably one of my favourite Restaurant experiences in a very long time. Very happy.
Time frame: they gave us a 3h time frame. we got there at 6pm waited 5-7 minutes to be seated. Sat down made our order. We ate & talked & we managed to be out of the restaurant by 6:30pm bellyful & eyes cross eyed from being so full🤣.
Thank you we had an amazing time.

I ordered on DoorDash. Unfortunately I ate my food too fast I forgot the picture🤦🏾?♀?. Definitely good food!
Ce restaurant est incroyable ! La nourriture figure parmi les meilleures de la ville. Les boissons sont créatives & très généreuses. Le personnel est accueillant, compétent, charmant dans au moins trois langues, & l'ambiance est délicieuse. J'emmènerai ma famille & mes amis là-bas à plusieurs reprises.
This restaurant is amazing! The food is some of the very best in the city. The drinks are creative & very generous. The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, charming in a minimum of three languages, & the atmosphere is delightful. I will be bringing my family & friends there repeatedly.
I loved my experience here. The food was fantastic, the drinks are NOT watered down, the venue is beautiful & the service is professional yet fun! I can't wait to go back.
Went there on a friday night. Felt like I was at a resort with all the music, dancing, great food & drinks. This place is awesome! Birria tacos are delicious 😋 portions are a great size as well. The cocktails were also fantastic. I'll be back, thats for sure!
Ambiance incroyable au restaurant
L'endroit est chaleureux & entraînant, parfait pour s'amuser entre amis. Ils savent mettre le party, surtout quand il y a des anniversaires les shots ne manquent jamais.
Les drinks sont excellents & assez gros pour te suffire toute la soirée.
J'ai pris les fajitas au boeuf, très bons & bien servis.
Un resto que je recommande pour une soirée festive & sans prise de tête !

Loved the environment here. It's perfect for groups/parties of all sizes. They have a party platter option on the menu that we got to witness from the table over & it looked super fun! Confetti cannon & all.
We visited after practice & they were able to accommodate all 20 of us on a Monday night with only a 30 minute heads up. Amazing & wonderfully kind staff. The menu is extensive & the drinks are all very fun. I even got a pina colada (I never drink) & it was pretty good! The big fishbowl like margaritas are also very impressive. I got the quesabirrias & they were so good & slightly spicy. Juicy meat & great seasoning.
Enjoyed my friends birthday here. We had fun. Atmosphere is great, music is great. It is a bit loud but that's ok. The birthday special was fun. If you are pescatarian & get the shrimp fajitas ask them without the bacon. Unfortunately I didn't read the menu correctly & got bacon. Drinks were amazing. The sombrero were also a fun touch.
The food was pretty good. There are a few taco restaurants in the radius but this is the only one in Ville Emard.
We got the pulled pork & birria tacos. Birria was excellent - the pulled pork was only okay.
The pain point is truly the service. We had to flag our waiter down after we waited 20 minutes without a hello once seated. We then got our food quickly, but no drinks till we were halfway done our meal. We had to ask our waiter for them twice before they finally came, which was unfortunate as the margarita was quite good had it come before the meal.
Overall an okay experience. Would return if a friend wanted to go. The service is truly what spoiled our experience.
Very overpriced & underwhelming! food was average at best…stale tortillas were served with the guacamole when you would think they are freshly fried like majority of the Mexican restaurants in the city…drinks were good & the vibe matched but for the price I could have been at a five star restaurant & that was not the case
