Review Summary

Overall, diners describe Tacos Lakalaka as a colorful, lively spot with huge portions and tasty tacos that often impress, especially the variety of flavors and the strong value for money, while the drinks and ambience get frequent praise. Several reviews highlight the friendly service and fast responsiveness during busy periods, though a number of experiences mention inconsistent communication, occasional missing items, or orders that arrive incomplete, which can dampen the visit. The all you can eat taco option is cited by some as a great value, but others report discrepancies between what is advertised and what is served, or feeling that offerings are not up to par. Some critiques point out that certain dishes or ingredients can be uneven, with notes of dryness in some fillings or a few items lacking sauces or accompaniments, yet many still enjoy the bold flavors and fresh elements. The decor and music contribute to a festive, party-like atmosphere that many find appealing, while a few find it a bit loud or overwhelming for conversation. On the whole, Tacos Lakalaka is viewed as a vibrant, flavorful option that delivers generous portions and a lively scene, with room to tighten up menu accuracy, hours communication, and consistency in preparation.

L'horaire indiquait qu'ils ferment à 22h. Nous sommes arrivés à 20h30 & on ne nous a pas servis, avec l'excuse que ce n'est plus'La Kalaka' & que la cuisine était déjà fermée parce qu'ils avaient lavé la vaisselle. Nous voulions simplement goûter les sushis. Le client devrait être la priorité.

Music was *pumping*, at 7pm on a Monday evening. We asked them to turn it down, & they did. Slightly. All you can eat tacos offering was not available due to new management. Can't share about the food because we didn't stay to eat. They turned the music back up as we were putting on our coats. 🤦

This was my first time visiting Sinaloa Rolls (formerly La Kalaka), & I was honestly very excited because I had finally found Mexican-style sushi rolls in Montreal.

When I arrived, they told me that the weekend had been very busy & that they didn't have absolutely anything left to prepare sushi. So… I'll have to come back for that. We decided to stay anyway & ordered tacos al pastor-& I have to say, they were extremely delicious. They really exceeded my expectations. I'm leaving a photo of them because they were that good.

That said, I do have two small complaints.

The first one is about the atmosphere. I understand they're trying to recreate a Sinaloa-style vibe, & I get that the music is part of that experience, but honestly, having that music playing all the time can be a bit much. Still, I guess it's part of what they're going for.

My second complaint is about communication. I tried contacting them through Instagram, Facebook, I called by phone (no answer), left messages on TikTok, & even tried WhatsApp because I wanted to know their hours & whether I needed a reservation-& I never got a reply anywhere. I'd just recommend improving that part of customer service a bit, or being clearer & more consistent with the information they share on social media.

In the end, my complaints are pretty minor, because what really matters is the quality & taste of the food-& on that front, they did great.

Mal servicio No querian atendernos íbamos 5 personas que por que ocupaba reserva y que estaba lleno y ni gente había nunca piden reservación y hoy si al último nos atendieron pero de mala gana les pedíamos servilletas o cosas así y se enojaban no las dejaban de mala manera y pues primera y última ves que compro aquí pedía mínimo una ves a la semana durante algunos meses sin mentir y hoy me decepcionaron la verdad 👎🏽 y le puse una estrella para poder comentar si no ni le pongo ninguna 👎🏽

Well, food was great here, & the atmosphere very cool with paintings & all. Service is okay but being charged $15 for a small VIRGIN mojito kinda rubbed me the wrong way. I will not go back because of it. PSA: Look at your bill before leaving there to make sure it's accurate.

The portions are extremely generous. Great Tacos, decent price. The drinks are delicious & well made. I happened to have been here while there was an event & it made the experience even better, great performer.

The only little thing is that the site is a bit overwhelming & requires updates. Which makes it a bit hard to check ongoing promotions without having to go there.

Domingo por la tarde, no había totopos o tostadas para darnos con el guacamole así es que nos dieron papas fritas ( sin aviso previo; solo las llevaron ala mesa) se pidió sushi( que después de 55 minutos por fin llegó ala mesa) pero sin salsa de soja, wasabi o jengibre encurtido, porque se les había terminado( pero porque no nos avisaron antes de traernos el sushi ala mesa? )si medio decepciona el que no tengan el platillo completo o ciertas cosas que lo acompanen. (No regresaría gracias)

Avec mon amie nous somme ressorti avec des maux de ventres intempestifs pendant une journée entière & le service était inexistant. Pas de propositions d'eau & oublie dans la commande qui fait que nous avons mangé froid. Nous avons payé 80$ à deux pour des plats qui ne nous ont pas plue. La nourriture avait un goût de gaz, nous soupçonnons une cuisson sur du matériel très ancien. Bref, c'est un regret & nous avons jeter notre argent.

La formule à volonté est une belle arnaque. Après deux malheureux tacos, la serveuse (dont le sourire était manifestement en option ce soir-là) nous a coupé les vivres. Motif :'il est trop tard'. C'est donc le premier restaurant à volonté qui vous met au régime forcé au milieu du repas. Une règle secrète qu'il fallait apparemment deviner avec une boule de cristal.

Really wanted to like this place, but couldn't get there.

Waitress was absent & uninterested. Food was dry & flavorless. An insult to Mexican cuisine, will sadly not be able to return.

Restaurant mexicain sur la rue St Denis
Petit arrêt pour le repas de midi , carte invitante & diversifiée
Les portions sont généreuses & très bien préparé
En attendant notre plat, il vous serve une coupe de cheaps Nachos & deux sauces douce & pimentée.
Le serveuse est très attentive à vos besoins & s'assure que vous ayez toujours des serviettes à votre disposition (la sauce coule😄 un peu)
Le rapport qualité prix reste très acceptable & le service est rapide
Une petite halte à midi agréable, je reviendrai un soir
La musique latino est présente mais pas envahissante, on peut se parler sans crier
La décoration coloré à souhait🇲🇽

Everything was meh. The service wasn't great either since the waitress did not seem to be paying much attention when she was taking our orders. She screwed up on a few items. She came across as if she did not feel like being there.
