Reviews describe Tacos Neza as an authentic, family owned, unpretentious Mexican spot with a broad menu featuring birria, barbacoa, al pastor, enchiladas, quesadillas, pozole and tacos, all made with fresh ingredients and offered in generous portions at good prices. Diners praise fast, friendly service, a warm casual atmosphere, and the sense of eating real Mexican cooking, with fresh tortillas and flavorful salsas highlighted. While the majority celebrate the flavors and value, a few notes mention occasional slower service during peak times or with all you can eat promotions, and a handful of dishes may be lighter on meat or less bold. Overall the reviews present Tacos Neza as a standout affordable choice for authentic Mexican food and a welcoming neighborhood vibe, often described as a hidden gem and a top pick for tacos in the city.
Super yummy spot with bright decor & kind staff! We had the nachos with chicken, they were delicious & fresh. They provide chips & salsa as soon as you sit down at a table. Thanks for a great experience!
I got the birria tacos with the hibiscus juice. The topping, to meat, to bread ratio was perfect. It was also exceptionally tasty & the broth dip was so flavourful. The hibiscus juice wasn't too sweet, it complimented the dish very well. The home made tortilla chips with the guacamole were the cherry on top 10/10. They're very generous with the portion of guacamole as well as with the limes & sauces. I usually have to ask for more but I was left with a bit left!
Restaurant was super clean & well maintained. I had a peek in the back to the kitchen & I could see the chef preparing fresh ingredients. He was also quick to help us find a seat despite being busy prepping food for the day. He was so friendly & I never saw him without a smile on his face!
Will definitely come back when I'm shopping on Saint Denis to try their Al Pastor next. Very reasonably priced too!
The food was decent, with a few dishes that stood out, but overall it didn't quite wow me. The flavors were good but could have been more authentic & bold. Service was okay-friendly. The atmosphere was nice & casual, good for a simple night out. Not bad, but also not a place I'd rush back to.

I got the enchiladas & my friends got the carnitas tacos & the pastor tacos, which were all very delicious. The food was very filling & quite affordable! The service was quick & efficient & the food came out very quickly. Nice lunch spot for friends!
This was genuinely in the top 3 most delicious foods I've had in my whole life. I got the beef burrito, & it was soooo good so I came back the next night & got the beef quesadilla & it was just as good!! The portions were perfect & the flavours are amazing. I am not from Montreal, but if you live here or are visiting I HIGHLY recommend checking this spot out.
It's a great experience having lunch in such a family style Mexican restaurant. Decorations & people are warm & welcoming. With excellent tacos of course.
Super repas que j'ai partagé en compagnie de mon amie! Nous avons commandé les mêmes plats, des tacos birria & une soupe aztèque. La soupe était super! Les tacos étaient bons & la sauce birria pas trop salée alors c'était bon pour moi. J'ai adoré le guacamole, tellement savoureux & frais! La serveuse était d'une douceur exceptionnelle.
J'ai beaucoup aimé le guacamole, il était excellent. J'ai adoré la soupe aztèque : vraiment savoureuse, surtout avec un peu de lime!! Les tacos birria étaient bons, même si j'en ai déjà goûté de meilleurs ailleurs. Aussi, la serveuse était vraiment gentille.
