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.
Great tacos & delicious margaritas! The space is a bit small, so it was a bit tricky for our large group, but the service is excellent & the owner is incredibly friendly. A wonderful spot overall!
In my experience the best, most authentic Mexican restaurant in Montreal. Not a corporate American Disneyland version of Mexican dining, but the real thing. The decor is vintage Mexicana brought by the owner from his family ranch in Mexico. Colorful & genuine. Even using horse saddles as seats on side. The food is amazing. Fresh & a varied menu. The prices are reasonable & the service excellent with a friendly Latina staff. Also a well-stocked bar which has an excellent reputation for its margaritas.
Seating in winter is very limited & it's always a tight fit. But always worth it!

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 😋
Besr birria tacos EVER I've tried a few different places in montreal & laval & none compare to this its just so flavourful & the portions are big. The restaurant has amazing decor & mango margarita was really good
Best Birria tacos I've ever had. Pairs perfectly with their slushy margaritas. I dream about this place. Hard 10/10. They deserve a Michelin Star. Totally worth going out of your way for.
Authentic flavors, recommend any of the tacos, especially the chorizos. One of the best frozen margaritas I had. Super friendly service, live the decor & even had live music!
This is the best Mexican restaurant! It's always crowded, but it makes sense. The owner was super nice, funny & polite! The tacos were super delicious! Strawberry Margarita was so tasty. Highly recommend!

The tacos' are as impressive as the Décor. Authentic & amazing. The Owners is such a cool guy & helped me order. If you shut your eyes & listen to the music, you would swear you are down south. The Carne Asada & the Taco de Birria are phenomenal. the best part of the Tacco de Birria is you get to drink that dipping sauce after like a soup. We hit this place in the winter, but we are coming back to town in the summer & we're sitting out on the patio with a margarita & our tacos.
Quel bel endroit dans le West Island! Super belle ambiance même la salle de bain est cute! Service courtois & souriant & je tiens à préciser que la bouffe est vraiment bonne! Sérieusement c'est frais & delicioso!!!!!!! Un régal pour les yeux & pour les papilles! Portions plus que généreuses ! Je vais y retourner avec plaisir :) En passant les margaritas sont savoureux & prenez celui à 2 onces pour plus de fun! Ahahha! Le agua de Jamaica est aussi une valeur sure. Boisson sucrée à l'hibiscus!
Sympa comme adresse pour une bouchee rapide & margaritas. Le decor est ecclectique & amusant. On a l'impression d'etre dans un village de la sierra mexicaine 😄. On y retourne.
Went here with my family & we had a great time. The food is delicous & authentic, the atmosphere is very enjoyable (mojito & strawberry margarita 10/10). The owner was AMAZING!! He made sure everything was to our liking & worked his best to ensure we had a pleasant time. He was super kind & caring towards us. Super appreciative of his hard work. Highly recommend!
