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.

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.

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.

We knew the meal was in trouble when the tacos arrived, the meat dry, grizzled & unappealing & the tacos devoid of any filling besides red onions. We went to Lakalaka's new location on Duluth, drawn by the sign outside advertising all-you-can-eat tacos for 25 dollars. But the tacos that arrived didn't match the ingredients of the tacos on the menu & were practically naked. Then, when we asked for a small side of guacamole, the manager refused, saying they only offer guacamole & chips for 14 dollars. There was only a choice of one beer- a 9 dollar Corona. In an area crowded with Mexican restaurants, Lakalaka doesn't deliver. & the taco offer was misleading- a ploy to get bums on seats but then offer low-grade tacos with minimal ingredients. The decor is festive & the waitress was apologetic. But Lakalaka, unfortunately, joins the array of often mediocre, touristy restaurants on Avenue Duluth.
