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.
These are the best birria tacos in Montreal for sure, I haven't had any even close to as good as the ones served here. I would highly recommend to go & try them atleast once in your life.
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.

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 !
I go there once a week at least since it's close to where I live & I love the place. The waitress all remember my usual order by now so I don't even need to ask. Highly recommend fro great tacos, my favorite being the carnitas, drink wise I always take a spritz but their spicy margaritas seem really popular & I found it good as well.
I would give this place 12 stars if I could. Perfect portions, amazing flavours, great drinks! Highly recommend the birria tacos & the Al pastor tacos. Great ambiance, music, & overall vibes. Would come back in a heart beat.
My husband, my 6 year old son & I had dinner at Tin Tan last night. What an amazing evening! Everyone, especially the woman who looked after us was so friendly & lovely. She was so sweet to our little guy & considerate when recommending something for him to eat. The tacos were absolutely delicious, especially the Al Pastor & Birria. It felt like being back in Mexico. Perfect atmosphere. A casual, cozy place & really festive. Will definitely recommend!
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.

Went there tonight with a buddy, food & service were impeccable. I highly recommend the taco with the pineapple & the fish taco. also, test the hot sauce before pouring, the orange one packs a punch. It gets a little hot inside but terrasse is available. Try this place out, you'll like it.
Nice little mexican restaurant we can only recommend for everyone loving mexican food. We had tortillas & quesedillas to start & tacos pollo & quesedillas as main menu. Everything was tasty & the lady serving us was also friendly. We can definitely recommend this restaurant.
visiting from toronto, these are the best tacos i've ever had hands down we had the ribeye & birria tacos 10/10, prices are great, food came fast, patio is super cute, our server jessica was amazing. we ordered another plate of the birria tacos because they were just that good. definitely recommend this place to anyone
We were a little bit disappointed with the amount of guac given, especially considering it was $12, & it wasn't anything special. However the tacos were delightful! The fish tacos were perfectly fried & the texture was super light - with the addition of their spicy salsa the combination was perfection! The marinade on the el pastor & chicken tacos were also delicious. I would recommend if you're looking for tacos in Montreal, however be aware of the price ($5 per taco).
