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.
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🍺!!
