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.

Food is salty & spicy in order to hide the lack of freshness. Burritos are cold, tacos & quesadillas are ok. Nice decoration but very cluttered. The bathroom floor is a hazard in itself. For the price, you are better order some sushi from another restaurant.
This place makes great tacos. They're a sin, really. They look like they'd cause a heart condition. They decorations are very authentic & are vivid & vibrant. The saddle chairs are a riot. Anyway if you are Mexican & are missing your precious tacos, Don Rigo will make it all better :) My order came with three tacos, corn chips & salsa. VERY filling.
Want an authentic Mexican dining experience? How about authentic Mexican food? Tacos Don Rigo is the place to go for high quality, extremely authentic food. Their prices are quite reasonable & the food is very filling. The decor is simply marvelous. I am so glad the owner, a Mexican born chef, chose to open up in the West Island. Keep up the great work!
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.
