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.
The food is incredible, everything in the menu is fresh & delicious. The owner is regularly there & he is kind & approachable, same as all people in the restaurant; super friendly. The decoration is nice but it's a little crowded since it's an small place. Not necessarily a bad thing though, feel authentic Mexican. Great music, amazing food, friendly staff. Totally recommended!
We were welcomed warmly by the owner, who graciously explained some items on the menu. The food was incredible, fresh. You can really tell that it is a labour of love. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
absolutely amazing food & ambiance!
went here for my birthday, the owner came out & took care of us, super thoughtful & kind!
10/10 would recommend & go back!
Je ne connaissais pas cet établissement. J'ai lu quelques avis & la très grande majorité étaient très élogieux. J'ai été souper à cet endroit & j'en fut ravis. Les mets sont excellents, l'atmosphère est à la fête, & le personnel sont accueillants & efficace. Sans parlé du propriétaire qui est super sympathique. Je recommande.

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
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!!
My only regret is that we waited so long before coming here !! The food is so so good. The flavours are deep & complex; there is thought & talent behind it all. I highly recommend the Quesabirria Tacos which come with a jus. 10/10
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🍺!!
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!
