Overall, reviews portray Tacos Don Rigo as a lively, authentic Mexican taqueria with flavors many call the best in Montreal and the West Island, offering generous portions and good value for the quality. The food is described as fresh and flavorful, with standout birria tacos, al pastor, quesadillas, and other traditional fare, and the drinks and homemade hot sauces earning praise. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as vibrant and festive, with colorful décor and a feel of being in Mexico, while the staff are noted as friendly, helpful, and welcoming, and service described as quick when possible. A few reviews mention that seating can be tight and the place can get crowded, which may slow things down, and occasional misses on orders or issues with beverages are noted by a minority of guests. Taken together, Tacos Don Rigo is presented as a must try for an authentic Mexican dining experience, where most patrons leave impressed and plan to return for more bold flavors and hospitable vibes.
By far the best tacos in town ! Flavourful, delicious & very generous portions compared to other taco restaurant. Best bang for your buck. No other taco place comes close to this place. The quesa Birria are my favorite. Definitely a must go if you're a taco lover. It literally feels like Mexico in there.
Oh my lord. The BEST tacos I ate in my LIFE! The crispy tacos with birria, literally melts in your mouth. We drove from east of montreal to eat these & we will do it again because it was THAT good!

all i gotta say is RRRIIIICCCOOOOOOO~~~ 🗣🗣🗣 consome a lil more on the tomato-ey side than I was used to but not bad !! you know its good when the location is not the most accessible, & its close to before close but customers still trying to get seated, rodeo on the TV, cumbia through the speakers 🫦👌🏽 would definitely come back, thank you !! got the birria pizza, which they don't sell that often I think, but she's there & she's BUUUSSSSIN.
The best place for food,service & atmosphere! We ordered in person & left but later found out an item was missing (new employee forgot it but it happens) so I called them & the man (I'm guessing is the owner or manager) immediately made the moment right. I put my boyfriend on this place & it is his absolute favorite place to eat! He even joked about getting the name'Tacos don Rigo' tattooed for a reward of free birrias tacos for life 😂. Anyways, they never ever disappoint & will be a long time customer 🥰
We went there for the birria tacos & we weren't overly impressed. The tacos were very basic in flavor & the consomé completely lacked flavor. You'd expect broth that was made by stewing beef for several hours in a medley of spices would be jam-packed with flavor but it honestly tasted like tomato soup. Their horchata was terrible & a complete waste of money. The customer service was also lacking as we waited at the cash for a good 15 minutes before we were addressed by the staff. Even while serving us, the cashier kept getting distracted & pulled into conversations by their colleagues. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
You feel welecome as soon as you walk in. The owner is amazing with a great personality !!! I had ordered a pick up of queso birria tacos with extra cheese there was a miss undertsanding over the phone when I showed up the owner insisted to re do the order for me.
It was my first time trying there tacos & I regret not having time to dine in. The decore is as amazing as the food I will be back for sure.
I very mutch recomand 🌮 great food & amazing service & decore !!!
Tacos were really good, the place is pretty small & crowded but very pretty decorations inside. We got our food very fast. I would recomand ordering the Birria tacos! 😍
The food itself was okay, but I do think that I might've gotten the wrong taco. I originally asked for the original birria taco, but mine came with a cheesier shell. This made it quite heavy, & I struggled to finish my second taco.
The atmosphere itself was fun. Very fitting for a taco place. The service was pretty standard, friendly, & answered any questions we had.
Overall, it was okay. However, I wouldn't come back unless my friends wanted to try other flavors.

We ordered the quesa birria. The 3 tacos were filling & delicious,came with a side of nachos. The broth was very flavorful. They make their own hot sauces, which we loved. We didn't order any alcoholic drinks but we regretted it because they looked amazing. Also the horchata was very sweet & less your typical kind. But definitely will be back to try more things on their menu. But it seems from the tables around us that the quesa birria is the most popular. Seating can be tight if busy. We came in time before the rush. Very nicely decorated & ambience is nice with spanish music playing.
Update: they have made the insides more roomy which is great. But I can't justify paying $18 + tax for a burrito. Which is mainly rice & toppings with a small amount of meat. $20 for one burrito with a side of literally 6 nacho chips is a little crazy. Sorry!
One of the best queso birria tacos ive eaten in mtl & toronto, the consume is so flavourful, & they are very generous with the portions. Highly recommend

The birria tacos & the sauce they come with were excellent. I also enjoyed the decor & music, makes you feel you're in a mexican cantina. Service at the counter is very corteus & food comes very quickly. Highly recommended!!
I was my first visit & I really enjoyed the food. We ordered Queso birria & cochinita pibil. They were so tasty & juicy. The drinks were delicious (Margaritas mango & strawberry). The staff were very friendly & the service was fast! The decorations are really cool & authentic. I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu 😋
I would give the food here six stars if I could. Genuinly some of the best birria tacos I've ever had. Staff was wonderful & the whole restaurant is a fun place to have a bite with friends.
i'm literally foaming from the mouth & physically tweaking & twitching from the withdrawals i'm experiencing from not having eaten the don rigos birria tacos in more than 3 weeks
