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.
Fui a probar la birria ramen: excelente idea, mala ejecución. El lado de la birria estuvo ok, pero usan ramen instantáneo lo que realmente deja mucho que desear. También probamos los chilaquiles (con birria extra) y esos si estaban bastante buenos, pero la porción era diminuta. No como mucho y fácilmente hubiera podido pedir otra orden. Por último, mismo que apenas era medio día (abren a las 11:30) nos indicaron que ya se había acabado el café. En conclusión: por ramen instantáneo y una porción de chilaquiles que te deja con hambre, no recomiendo ir, sobretodo habiendo tantos otros buenos restaurantes en Montreal.

Expensive for what you get. We used to like it but we will be going to other tacos places now. The employees are very nice, place is cute but its so expensive & you get only three very small tacos that are good just like other places, nothing out of ordinary. It's a shame because I really liked this place but in this economy its a bit too much to pay that much & not even be full & I know that it's is not that expensive to make tacos. If they fix that little issue & make bigger portions I will gladly come back.
I must say that as a Mexican in a foreign city, this place surprised me. The chilaquiles (my favorite food in general) were super good. The sauce has the perfect amount of spice & the Birria, makes you feel like home. Totally worth it.
Just passing through & thought this place was great & affordable. I accidentally left some glasses behind & they held them for two days. I got a chicken quesadilla & it was v. tasty!
Never had birria tacos before coming here, Tin Tan has genuinely changed my perspective on tacos & I wish I lived closer so I could visit again. Any stop in Montreal for me will consist of a stop at Tin Tan from now on! Most amazing thing I've ever tasted. Super reasonable prices as well!
Un pur plaisir de goûter à leur nourriture !!!
Les saveurs sont franches & très harmonieuses. Les portions sont adéquates pour le prix.
Le service est sympa & rapide, & l'ambiance en cuisine est géniale.
Merci beaucoup !
Good taste 7/10 but terrible value. Paid 27$ taxes in for 1 order of birria & a sugary sweet drink
Only 3 tacos & they added 3 tortillas chips to the side. Portions are way too small for the price & you finish them in 1-2 minutes max. Had really high expectations & was referred here, made long drive through traffic & struggled to find parking for a disappointment.
Yes it tastes not bad but there's not enough to actually enjoy it….
I went with a very high expectation because of the good reviews it has, sadly the fish tacos are bland, they only taste like grease :(
On the other hand, the quesabirria is very nice & Aguas frescas are good for someone with sweet tooth
