Review Summary

Tacos Frida is widely regarded as a top destination in Montreal for authentic Mexican cuisine, praised for its fresh ingredients, flavorful tacos, and standout dishes like birria and pozole. While the atmosphere is frequently described as cozy, vibrant, and welcoming, visitors should note that the restaurant is small and can become quite noisy and crowded, particularly on weekends. Although most patrons highlight the friendly and attentive service, experiences regarding portion sizes, wait times, and kitchen coordination can vary. Overall, it remains a highly recommended spot for those seeking genuine Mexican flavors at reasonable prices.

Great food, really solid & authentic Mexican dishes. I would come back for the food & friendly waiters.

However, I repeatedly witnessed what appeared to be the owner loudly reprimanding staff in front of customers. It made the atmosphere very uncomfortable & affected the dining experience.

After seeing this more than once, I've decided not to return & am also considering reporting the situation to the relevant authorities, as this behavior in the workplace is totally unacceptable & should not be tolerated.

Been here several times & the quality of food & service remains consistent & reliable anytime were craving authentic tacos! We love coming here for their birria or shrimp tacos & mojitos but the menu has great options🔥

Surprisingly an overall deeply disappointing experience. To start off, our side of chips & guacamole (accompanying salsa was curiously not an option?) came with only 7 chips for the both of us! Not to mention that this was a paid side, unlike the norm in most taco joints. I ordered the Oaxacan beef tacos, which are supposedly the chef's specialty, & was met with dry meat & an underwhelming amount of seasoning. The two table sauces offered little help, as earthy bitterness took over the acidic brightness you would usually come to expect. My partner, who is from the Southern United States, & thus accustomed to quality Latin American/Mexican cooking, ordered the chicken quesadilla & was also very disappointed by how dry & flavourless it was, even going so far as to believe precooked sandwich meat may have been used.

If you want quality authentic tacos in Montreal (which granted, is a rarity in itself!), the best we have had here was surprisingly Impac Taco located in marché aux puces Métropolitain. The La Toxica located in Chinatown is also decent.

This little Mexican restaurant serves great authentic food & some items on the menu can only be found there.
Good Mexican vibe too. The nachos & salads were super fresh & flavorful.

Best Mexican restaurant in Montreal. The consistency, portions, freshness, authenticity & quality of their products are second to none. Very fair prices too, you cannot go wrong!

It was Cinco de Mayo yesterday & I said whatever it takes I am going on a hunt for some Mexican food. I found the Treasure!!! Hit Gold with Tacos Frida. The chicken tacos are made with a chipotle sauce with just the right kick mixed in with all the ingredients topped with green salsa made them authentic, flavorful & delicious.

It was my first time having Tacos in Montreal. So I decided to try them. The food was really authentic Mexican style & I found the flavors to be well-balanced. I recommend trying them; I'm sure you'll enjoy them. You can also have a shot of Tequila with some Tajin seasoning on the side.
👌✌?👍👍😉

Delicious pozole & good tacos - worth the wait

I visited Tacos Frida on a Sunday night & had to wait about 20 minutes for a table, but it was definitely worth it.

The food was very tasty, especially the pozole - flavorful broth, good seasoning, & tender meat. It really stood out! The tacos were good as well, though not particularly memorable.

Overall, it's a recommended spot if you're craving authentic Mexican flavors. The atmosphere is casual & vibrant, & the wait time is understandable considering the popularity. I'd definitely go back for the pozole!
