Diners describe Tacos Tin Tan as a lively spot with authentic Mexican flavors, standout birria tacos and other favorites like fish and al pastor, and a menu that shines especially for brunch and bold drinks. The vibes are warm and colorful with friendly staff most of the time, and many customers praise fresh guacamole, good mezcals, and creative twists on classics. However, some visits have fallen short with slow or uneven service, delays in taking orders, and in a few cases small portions or bland elements for the price. Several tasters note that portions can feel tight for the cost, and a few cases mention changes to recipes that affected the overall experience. Overall for taco lovers the place remains a major draw with consistently strong flavors and a welcoming atmosphere, though expectations around portion size and service quality can vary by visit.
We were a group of 5 people & everyone loved their plates. The flavours are delicious & authentically Mexican. They serve brunch until 3 pm so you have more options.
The staff was friendly & welcoming ! There wasn't any wait time when we visited. Definitely worth a try !

sachez que ce restaurant calcule encore les pourboires sur le coût total de la facture (avec taxes). oui, les suggestions de pourboire indiqués respectent la nouvelle loi, mais la machine n'a pas été reprogrammée.
ceci combiné à une expérience culinaire variable (hier soir: bons tacos! mais cocktails très dilués & décevants.). le Tin Tan n'est plus ce qu'il a déjà été.
Last Saturday, my husband & I went to this restaurant to try Mexican food. I am Mexican & my husband is Canadian, & where we live it's very difficult to find truly good Mexican food. I had heard that Montreal has great Mexican cuisine, so I was very excited to come here, especially because of the good reviews.
At first, the service was friendly & everything looked very authentic, which made me even more excited. However, the experience quickly became disappointing. We waited 30 minutes just for someone to take our order, while other tables that arrived after us were served much faster simply because they were larger groups. After waiting another 30 minutes, we were about to leave, but the food finally arrived.
Unfortunately, it was not worth the wait. I ordered tacos gobernador & they were extremely small & not good at all. The salsas had no flavor, & no one ever came back to check on us or ask if we needed anything.
This experience completely took away my desire to try Mexican food at another restaurant
Greatttt birria tacos!! Some of the best in Montreal. Also just amazing vibes & super fun decor inside.
A highlight was weirdly their drip coffee. They put cinnamon in there I think? & it's delicious !!!
I was greated with a smile & some typical latin american music. Place is clean, colorful with funny & tasteful decorations everywhere. I ordered a guac to start & it was perfect! Then 3 gorgeous birria tacos showed up with a cup of jus... Maybe I got lucky but it was some of the best I had in years! Will definitely go back... Muchas gracias!
Amazing tacos, especially the birria! We drive 90 minutes into Montreal for them. We've been back four times. Margaritas are really good too, be sure to specify frozen or on the rocks. Seems like the same friendly staff every time. Can't wait to go back.

Great little place around the corner from our house. Very cozy mexican resto Staff is exceptional, extremely nice service, & tacos are excellent. Good for kids too!
I recommend the beef tacos & Mexican mule.
This was probably really good years ago but it's fallen off since.. every single item had dry meat making them hard to chew & swallow & even the limes were dry.
I got the all pastor & pollo tacos.
On the bright side, they don't skimp on the meat & they have decent drinks. You won't be leaving this place hungry.
Un endroit agréable pour passer un bon moment seul ou accompagné en dégustant de la cuisine mexicaine. Je suis Mexicain & je peux confirmer que les tacos al pastor sont vraiment délicieux, surtout accompagnés d'une bonne michelada. Les sauces sont aussi très bonnes. Le service est excellent & les serveuses sont très sympathiques. Je recommande cet endroit !
