Reviews consistently praise Tacos Frida for authentic Mexican flavors with standout options like pastor, birria, carnitas, and pescado tacos and a memorable pozole. Many diners describe the service as friendly, attentive, and fast when the place is busy, with a cozy, vibrant atmosphere. Several mentions highlight strong drinks and margaritas, including hibiscus and tamarind varieties. Portions and prices vary, with some praising generous value while others note small portions or higher prices for certain dishes. Delivery orders generally travel well, but some guests prefer dining in for the full experience and report occasional order mixups or missing utensils. Gluten free diners should be aware that cross contamination can occur, as the kitchen reportedly does not fully prevent wheat and corn tortillas from sharing surfaces. While the majority call it among the best tacos in Montreal, there are occasional critiques about wait times, inconsistency, and some dishes not meeting expectations. Overall, Tacos Frida is described as a top Montreal Mexican spot with flavorful, well seasoned dishes, friendly staff, and a lively setting.
We got the lunch special which includes 3 tacos, a soup or chips & guac & a drink. My wife got the pastor tacos & I got the tinga tacos. Both were delicious but pastors are the best. You can't get three different tacos unfortunately, but you can still share if your wife will let you. Easy on the Mexican salsa, it's pretty spicy, but fun. I got the hibiscus juice for a 2$ extra fee but it was worth it! Great vibes, friendly service.

Another tasty taco spot! We ordered delivery & tried the Al Pastor, beef fajita-style tacos, & the carnitas. The Al Pastor & carnitas were definite winners-super flavourful & juicy. Both the red & green salsas were delicious, & the guacamole was fresh & really well-seasoned. Everything held up great for delivery, but next time, we'll try dining in to get the full experience!
Great service, the lady explained the dishes very well & was super accommodating. The thosthadha was super crunchy & the ingredients definitely tasted fresh! Gorginamama for sure
the tacos pastor was super super gyattt & the consume was flavorbombshell
+ a nice jarrito to wash it all down made me want to go home & watch the frida movie
We have been searching for a good Mexican restaurant for months & certainly found it at Tacos Frida! The server, Joshua, was attentive & kind, & the food (guacamole, burrito pastor, tortilla soup, etc) was all fantastic. We will be back!!!
Après avoir vu dans l'actualité que l'acteur Russell Crowe as dit que c'était la meilleure cuisine en dehors du Mexique. J'ai été à cette découverte avec une nouvelle amie brésilienne qui voulait l'essayer aussi. Un mercredi soir s'était bien plein & on a dû attendre 30 minutes, car pas réserver de place, je ne pensais pas qu'il serait aussi occupé un milieu de semaine. Endroit bien décoré, mais très petit & serré. Mais la nourriture est excellente, j'ai goûté comme cocktaildu Michelada qui était bien, mais le margarita était super, avec son punch de tequila. Dans les plats, le Tacos Pastor était correct pour moi & mon amie. Mais on a vraiment aimé les 2 autres choix, le Tacos El Flaco avec pour moi mon premier essai de la guacamole, qui était super, & le Tacos Birria était super bon lui aussi. & les 2 sauces sur la table étaient bien savoureuses à rajouter. Il y avait presque plus de dessert, on a dû prendre le gâteau Tres leches qui était correct & léger. Bon service reçu, à part que reçu des menu juste anglais & pas français au début, j'ai demandé de le changer, pourtant j'ai juste parler en français.
Nice small restaurant, very welcoming. The tacos were a bit sad looking. Also had the nachos al pastor, very flavourful. With the tacos came 1 singular slice of lime (less than half) for 3 tacos. The lime was very dry so we asked our server for more & she gladly brought us 2 slices of the same size. By my surprise, we were charged $1 for the "extra" lime. We didn't say anything because we had already payed when we realized, but it just feels a little cheap to be charged for it giving that the one that came with the meal was dry. Overall, the food was pretty good, but there are better taco places out there, that are also more authentic.

It was OK. Michelada was severely lacking, couldn't taste any clamato & there was no chamoy rim or chamoy straw. Al pastor had little to no marinade. Staff was good.
Durante mi visita a Montreal cenamos en Frida. El guacamole con chips delicioso, los tacos al pastor excelentes!! Altamente recomendado si quieres comer auténtica comida mexicana en un ambiente agradable y familiar 💟
If you're craving a a nacho plate with tacos, I totally recommend coming to this restaurant. My friend & I shared a nacho plate & Tacos Al Pastor with a jug of Horchata. We did order a bit too much but took the rest in a container. The beef nachos were really good, the tortillas had the real taste of corn & the plate was very generous in beef & guacamole. Also, the tacos did not disappoint, there was a good amount of meat & the mix of sweet/salty with the pineapple was just perfect. If you're hesitating on getting horchata, just do it ! It was such a perfect addition to the meal, it was light, flavorful, we drank it very easily, & it wasn't at all cloying. I would totally come back to try Frida's plates or even the quesadillas which looked quite tempting too.

Stopped by for a quick dinner on a Friday evening & have no complaints! Enjoyed the food very much. I had ordered the chicken tongs Frida plate & my husband ordered the pastor tacos along with guacamole & chips & it was plenty of food! The atmosphere was great & warm & loved the touches of decor throughout the restaurant. Also found parking nearby so that was a plus!
I went to this place with no expectations, the place is nicely decorated & colorful, small, & if you happen to be on the little room at the end & you have noisy table neighbors, they will ruin the experience for you.. The good things, the decorations & the staff, very friendly & attentive, but not really Mexicans, they have people from all over the place, although I'm not sure if the cook is Mexican. The food, I must accept they serve big amounts, but definitely lacks taste, we order Carne al pastor & Carnitas, the Carne al pastor was completely tasteless & missed marinating, it could pass if they would have called it something else, they did not add a lot of dressing (coriander & onion), & had to ask for it on the side, for the carnitas, they were presented on a burrito, same problem, lack of taste, big amount, but good enough to make two meals out of a burrito.. The drinks were OK, the friduchas were nice.. As a real Mexican, I really can't say this place serves Mexican food; may be inspired Mexican food, but they should be careful not to mislead people with the dishes.. however, if you want to spend a good time with a good amount of food, this is a good place
