Tacos Don Rigo delivers an authentic exploration of Mexican culinary traditions through a focused menu centered on expertly prepared tacos and hearty sandwiches. The kitchen prioritizes fresh ingredients to construct flavor profiles that remain faithful to classic regional techniques. Diners encounter a selection of seasoned proteins served in soft tortillas alongside traditional garnishes that balance texture and spice. Beyond the signature taco offerings, the menu features substantial sandwiches that incorporate bold spices and artisanal bread to satisfy those seeking a robust meal.

Don Rigo delivers an authentic and festive Mexican dining experience, praised for standout birria and al pastor tacos, delicious carne asada burritos, horchata and hibiscus drinks, and a vibrant decor that makes you feel transported to Mexico; the staff are described as welcoming and attentive, service is quick even when busy, and portions are generous for the price, with many calling it one of the best Mexican spots in Montreal or the West Island; a few notes mention the lack of a visible halal indicator on site and on menus, occasional issues with greasiness or consistency of certain dishes, and the small, crowded space can make seating or takeout challenging at peak times, but overall the place is a beloved, high quality spot that many patrons plan to revisit.
Amazing & delicious tacos!! I can say it's one of my tops in the city. The place is small but super cute, with a nice local restaurant feel. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the'Special Don Rigo' drink, the taste wasn't great & it irritated our stomachs a bit. That said, the staff were really kind, & the owner even offered us another drink !
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🍺!!
