Reviews celebrate Tacos Don Rigo for an authentic Mexican experience with a vibrant vibe and decor, where birria tacos and quesabirria standouts are delivered in generous portions and bold flavors that many consider among the best in Montreal and the West Island. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with friendly staff and efficient service that keep up with crowds in a small, bustling space. While some notes include occasional crowding and a difference between takeout and dine-in experiences, the overall impression is a labor of love with fresh ingredients, great margaritas, and a memorable sense of place that makes repeat visits common.
Pudiera decir que soy una cliente frecuente de este restaurante. Si alguien me pregunta'¿qué restaurante de comida mexicana recomiendas?' Siempre recomiendo este, desde el sabor y el ambiente es una pequena parte de México. La comida es muy rica y la atención 10/10
A GREAT spot for Mexican food- the Al Pastor Tacos / Quesadilla & Quesadilla Pollo were all absolutely amazing. Service was quick, all portion sizes were perfect, & the food was delicious!

Mini Mexican vacation! Great food. Busy friendly staff. Outdoor & indoor seating. Mexican sodas! Such decorations. Fun, tasty & good prices. Real saddle seats outside. Great for photos.
For those looking for an authentic Mexican food experience, look no further! Don Rigo makes all his food with the same degree of love & care your mother would when making a home-cooked meal from your childhood. Any pictures I'd show here just wouldn't do the food the justice it deserves. Yes, MUCH better photos by other reviewers show you the food really *IS* as *delicious* as it looks! Been coming here for years, & will continue to do so with pride 😁👍
Absolutely incredible Tacos & Burritos. I used to go to Quesada on St-Jean every week before I found out about this place but I don't anymore, this place is the real deal, I've been going every week now for over 3 months. Authentic mom & pop Mexican food. The ambience is stunning, just look at the pictures. They have a great variety of burrito toppings to chose from, stuff I've never seen in regular chains like cactus & whatnot. Their chorizo is simply incredible. I saw a comment that they don't toast the burrito making it leaks all over the place, & it's true BUT once Marianna offered to have it toasted & it stopped the leaking. So they don't do this systematically, I think you can ask for it. They're a bit expensive but hey, I prefer giving a bit of extra money to this awesome place than to a faceless burrito chain. I highly recommend this Mexican joint.
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!!

Don Rigo are the best tacos in Montreal hands down. If you're craving authentic Mexican tacos in Canada, look no further. From the first bite, I felt like I was transported back to Mexico. The flavors are bold, fresh, & incredibly authentic, capturing the true essence of Mexican street food. The tortillas are soft & perfectly made, the meats are juicy & seasoned to perfection, & the toppings add just the right touch. They even have salsas that pack real heat, just like home! The atmosphere is welcoming, & the staff is friendly & attentive. Whether you're a taco lover or just curious to try authentic Mexican cuisine, this place is a must-visit. I can't recommend it enough.
Excellent place for REAL Mexican food, no tex mex here, authentic tacos & tortas, I would recommend this place if you really want to experience real Mexican cuisine, very good service & the also sell liquor if you want to pass those tacos with a cold one🍺!!
