Across reviews, Taco's Express is described as fresh, authentic Mexican cuisine with handmade tortillas and a wide range of house made sauces that invite experimentation. Standout items like the Quesabirria and the gringa with pastor are repeatedly praised, and the burrito styles are noted as among the best in Montreal. The drinks from Horchata to pineapple cocktails and desserts like flan and churros are highlighted as complements to the meals. The atmosphere is described as colorful, welcoming, and well decorated, with attentive service and clear explanations of the sauces that help even first time visitors feel at home. Several comments mention good value and reasonable prices for the quality, and the late night option hits the taco craving well. A few critiques appear, including occasional dryness of certain meats, uneven timing or service lapses, and concerns about freshness from some diners, but the overall impression is one of strong, authentic Mexican food that makes many plans to return.
The food It's so good, but if you come you really need to try the Quesabirria. I always come back for this, it's the best one I've tried in Downtown & Montreal. 🩷🩷🩷

Had tacos: pastor & choriqueso.
Pastor meat was dry & the spicy sauces couldn't save it.
Choriqueso was good because the cheese did the heavy lifting & carried the tacos to acceptable levels.
My wife was not happy. We ate around 830-9pm. Was our timing bad? If the food made us think that way, something is off.
We ordered a mojito too, one of the better mojitos I've had in a while.
Staff is cool. Nice folks.
Edit: I saw someone else leave a 1 star questioning the freshness of the meat, glad to see I am not the only one.
Excellent service, high quality Mexican food. Most authentic I've tasted in Montreal. They explain all the sauces. The whole experience is great & definitely my GO TO.

A beautifully decorated restaurant. The service was really warm & helpful, the server came in to explain all the different sauces. The food was very good, albeit I'm no expert in Mexican food, it felt less greasy than your average Mexican restaurant - perhaps more authentic.
The food is GREAT & the workers are the kindest. They are super attentive with everyone & are always so happy to see you coming back. They also speak spanish, english, & french!
I just had dinner here & it was awesome! The staff was very friendly & the food was great, definitely a must-try if you like Mexican food. They also have 5 different sauces that you can try together with your food, with spicy & non-spicy options.
