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.
I went last night for dinner & it was my 1st time eating there but definitely won't be my last. I started with the tortilla soup then had the fish tacos & tried the strawberry Jarritos to drink & it was ALL DELICIOUS! The staff was friendly & courteous. I'll definitely go back during the warmer months & sit out in their gazebo! The staff & the service were both excellent!!! & it's handicap friendly having been disabled myself for the past 10 years! It's worth the detour & you'll feel like you've been transported to the islands with their decor & their music playing in the background 😉

I highly recommend this taco shop in Montreal, & it can easily be considered one of the best taco places in all of Canada!
The restaurant has a great Mexican ambiance & specializes in classic taco flavors. The portions are generous, offering fantastic value for your money. The meat juices have rich, authentic flavors, & every bite is a delight. Please have to try their crispy fish taco! The fish is tender, & the batter is wonderfully crunchy! I love this place, it's a place where every bite is astonishing!
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.

From the food garnishes to the references on the wall I can wholeheartedly say that this place is an actual authentic Mexican taco joint. I come to Montreal from Texas a few times a year so I’m really happy I found it.
Les plats étaient bon mais le service était assez médiocre, je préfère définitivement aller à ce restaurant pour dîner que pour souper. Mais autre que ça la place est cute avec une belle terrasse & déco. Les tacos au poisson & crevettes n’étaient pas nos préférés mais tout de même bon, très panés & huileux, je ne recommande pas le ceviche il n’était pas bon du tout c’est comme si la sauce dans la quel il était était du ketchup.. dégoûtant, les tacos classic étaient super par contre !
The tacos & drinks were so good that we had to go twice while we were in town! The birria tacos are to die for, & the Mexican version of a Moscow mule is heavenly :) Great for a lunch or a quick snack!
J’en salive encore ! Les meilleurs tacos que j’ai jamais mangés, mention spéciale au birria, al pastor & fish tacos. Je suis triste de ne pas vivre à Montréal & ne pas pouvoir y aller régulièrement, vraiment une grande découverte. Tous les amis qui m’accompagnaient le confirme.
Les boissons & la sélection de mezcal sont également très bonnes & le service est sympa & efficace.
