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.
Nourriture & service exceptionnels. Nous avons commandé le Gobernador & le Birria, ainsi que l'entrée de guacamole & deux aguas frescas (horchata & mango). Les tacos étaient savoureux, juteux, & délicieux. Nous y retournerons sûrement!
N.B. On nous a demandé si on voulait du fromage avec les Birria, mais on nous a pas prévenus que c'était $3 d'extra.
Fuimos por primera vez ayer… Nos dieron mesa adentro, el calor era insoportable y no tenían aire acondicionado.
Ordenamos guacamole, el cual estaba muy rico.
Después de un rato nos cambiaron a una mesa de la terraza, nos llevaron la comida 50 minutos después, las bebidas llegaron a la mitad de la comida, a pesar de que las estuvimos pidiendo.
Cuando nos sirvieron, no llevaron salsa, ni limones, los pedí dos veces, después de esperar otros 20 minutos, me tuve que levantar y pedirlos en la barra.
La comida estaba bien, pero el servicio fue terrible 😰 y eso que ni siquiera estaba lleno 🫠

Love their decor's displayed & atmosphere....not big shop but very comfy place. Ordered their guacamole, taco birria, al pastor & fish ....taste really good & the generous filling making four of us adults felt so full. The best Mexican tacos in Saint Denis Street.
I discovered this spot from taco fest! I love the downtown location & got to discover a few local shops around it too. We got shrimp tacos & they were very good. The tortillas were my favorite part, soft yet crunchy, clearly authentic & home made. The shrimp was a very fat meaty piece of breaded shrimp & I loved it. The guacamole kind of disappointed us because it was nothing special for over 12$.

EXTREMELY TASTY!!!! However I gotta say small portions comparing to price. Nice staff nice atmosphere. The food is extremely delicious. The guacamole chips are not worth the price.
The best tacos in Montreal 10/10. we ordered a guacamole as a starter & the tacos were birria that is accompanied with consommé, fish tacos & rib eye quesadillas, the tacos have a unique & delicious flavor. We loved the mojito & the margarita The service was excellent.
We ended up there by chance; the terrace we initially wanted to go to was full, but we were not disappointed! Their terrace overlooking Rue Saint-Denis was charming, the service was quick & courteous, the food was good, & the portions were generous. The cocktails were great, the ceviche fish was fresh, & the guacamole was, of course, delicious. As for the tacos, we chose the Al Pastor & Birria; both were good, but not exceptional. Overall, it is a nice little place 🙃🌮
We ordered guacamole, tacos de birria, gobernador, de pastor, horchata, a beer, & a margarita. The prices are high compared to other Mexican restaurants, offering less value for the cost. The birria tacos are recommended, & the gobernador tacos are good but very small, more like appetizers. The guacamole is overpriced & not well prepared.

Portion of guacamole & chips was small Ceviche was dry & uninspired but decent portion Shrimp tacos were decent Birria tacos were the stars of the show
Great service & atmosphere, tacos were great, Guacamole was under seasoned & in general everything needed a lot more than just half a wedge of lime. Would recommend veggie tacos.
