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.
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
Les tacos sont excellents & plein de saveurs. L'ambiance (musique, écrans géants, décorations) est géniale. Les employés super sympathiques. Belle soirée entre amis.

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.
I was my first visit & I really enjoyed the food. We ordered Queso birria & cochinita pibil. They were so tasty & juicy. The drinks were delicious (Margaritas mango & strawberry). The staff were very friendly & the service was fast! The decorations are really cool & authentic. I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu 😋
Had the best meal. I literally wanted to go back the next day but unfortunately it's a bit too far. If i lived closer, this restaurant would definitely become a weekly visit
