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.
This is the best Mexican restaurant! It's always crowded, but it makes sense. The owner was super nice, funny & polite! The tacos were super delicious! Strawberry Margarita was so tasty. Highly recommend!

Food was yummy, I'm glad to have something tasteful in the West Island. Staff was polite & welcoming. My only remarks would be, table service would be better as opposed to having to order & pay prior to sitting & restaurants' decoration is too cluttered. Ambiance is nice though. Recommend ✨
What an absolute gem! Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had on the island. I had never heard of this place before this past weekend. I had a car full of hungry kids & we just searched "west island restaurants" hoping for a quick bite. We went in with zero expectations. The décor is amazing, with walls full of memorabilia & quirky decorations. The whole place has a comfortable, lived-in, cluttercore sort of vibe & personally I am here for it. It's unpretentious & welcoming right away. The food is outstanding, with a great variety of Mexican staples at very reasonable prices. Our family of four were able to eat our fill of mouthwatering tacos & burritos, made with fresh ingredients, for roughly the same amount I would have spent for drive-thru burgers. If you like Mexican food & enjoy a casual, family-friendly vibe, you need to check this place out ASAP.
BEST MEXICAN AUTHENTIC RESTAURANT IN MONTREAL!!! Food is so flavourful & delicious It's an explosion of flavour in your mouth 100% recommend if you live near by west island!
Great ambiance, felt authentic, very tasty, I left it up to the gentleman at the cash to decide for me, had a burrito that must've weighed 3lbs & tacos it was great!!! Thank you
Do yourself a favour & come try this place. We discovered it unexpectedly & it was absolutely delicious. If you want some authentic messy Mexican tacos (in the best way possible) you should give this a shot. The decor is a blast & the space is cozy so it's a great vibe when it's busy. Even though there was some confusion with one of our orders they were great & gave us some extra food to make up for it, even when we told them it wasn't a big deal & nothing needed to be done!
