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.
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.

The restaurant is excelente service & food alike. The price is on the mid to high side. Also the place is in the back corner , it should be at the far front it deserves the visibility due to its excellent atmosphere & service.
