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 best place for food,service & atmosphere! We ordered in person & left but later found out an item was missing (new employee forgot it but it happens) so I called them & the man (I'm guessing is the owner or manager) immediately made the moment right. I put my boyfriend on this place & it is his absolute favorite place to eat! He even joked about getting the name'Tacos don Rigo' tattooed for a reward of free birrias tacos for life 😂. Anyways, they never ever disappoint & will be a long time customer 🥰

Honestly, the best tacos in the West Island! This place is a solid 10/10. The food is always super tasty, the portions are huge for the price, & the vibe inside is really welcoming. Service is spot-on too, everyone is friendly & attentive.
The only tiny downside? The parking lot was full, so my wife & I had to park across the street. But honestly, that short walk was totally worth it for the amazing food waiting inside!
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!
Tacos are ok not the best but not bad either & they were well packed!
But the 7.49 charge for beans & rice (+soft drink) was really not worth it the beans were really basic & the rice was bad (not cooked enough & not properly seasoned we both didn't eat it) the pico de gallo rotation needs to be even smaller because the cup I got went bad.
The horchata was HORRIBLE, clearly the powdered one & the strawberry flavor made it even worst.. it taste like medicine. That horrendous thing deserves -1/10😖😂
It's a ok place if you're in the area but I won't drive 30min to get there
I really enjoy Tacos Don Rigos. The staff is effective & amicable. The options are plenty & delicious. The only negative I'd have is with the space itself for it gets crowded fast therefore I'd suggest takeout but if you don't mind the intimacy the space creates it's a great time there always. Great selection of tequila also!

Tacos are really good & fresh however service could be a little faster. Always a line up & very slow to get your order. Good to see mom & pop shop thriving tho.
We went there for the birria tacos & we weren't overly impressed. The tacos were very basic in flavor & the consomé completely lacked flavor. You'd expect broth that was made by stewing beef for several hours in a medley of spices would be jam-packed with flavor but it honestly tasted like tomato soup. Their horchata was terrible & a complete waste of money. The customer service was also lacking as we waited at the cash for a good 15 minutes before we were addressed by the staff. Even while serving us, the cashier kept getting distracted & pulled into conversations by their colleagues. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
You feel welecome as soon as you walk in. The owner is amazing with a great personality !!! I had ordered a pick up of queso birria tacos with extra cheese there was a miss undertsanding over the phone when I showed up the owner insisted to re do the order for me.
It was my first time trying there tacos & I regret not having time to dine in. The decore is as amazing as the food I will be back for sure.
I very mutch recomand 🌮 great food & amazing service & decore !!!
Tacos were really good, the place is pretty small & crowded but very pretty decorations inside. We got our food very fast. I would recomand ordering the Birria tacos! 😍

The food itself was okay, but I do think that I might've gotten the wrong taco. I originally asked for the original birria taco, but mine came with a cheesier shell. This made it quite heavy, & I struggled to finish my second taco.
The atmosphere itself was fun. Very fitting for a taco place. The service was pretty standard, friendly, & answered any questions we had.
Overall, it was okay. However, I wouldn't come back unless my friends wanted to try other flavors.
Great food & nice authentic looking place. Very tasty tacos! It's a very small place but the concept is to choose your own toppings which is not bad. Personally I rather have more service at the table.
