Review Summary

Reviews describe Taqueria La Matraca as a standout for authentic, affordable Mexican street style tacos in Montreal, with praise for al pastor and lengua, suadero, and queso fundido, plus tasty salsas and tortillas that feel fresh rather than processed. The menu is wide and varied, offering good value at reasonable prices, and a friendly, family run vibe in a casual setting. While flavors are consistently strong and portions satisfying, some notes mention slower service, room for décor improvements, and the occasional fatty dish or limited vegetable options. Overall, the restaurant is regarded as one of the best taco spots in Montreal, loved for its variety, friendly staff, and repeatable quality.

I've literally had 9 tacos here & want to try the rest of the menu, I would have rolled out of the restaurant if I could.

Blown away from the food & how fresh it is. Super nice staff that cares about their food & your experience.

Don't hate them if they are busy, it isn't their fault they are so good. May as well have an extra drink while you wait.

Killer food, killer staff, killer time.

I urge you to prove me wrong

On our recent visit to Montreal we discovered this local little spot. We were so impressed after our first dinner there, we had to make sure we visited again before we left. The salsas were delicious, the al pastor tacos had just the right amount of fresh pineapple (not from a can!) & the queso was warm, stringy & delicious. The tortillas were not dry & actually had a nice flavour. The prices were very reasonable & our waitress was lovely & friendly. Dont pass by this little corner of mexican deliciousness - make sure you stop in & enjoy some great tacos. You won't be disappointed.

Great food! Fresh ingredients & limited menu where you know everything was made with love. You can see the chefs in the open kitchen chopping veggies to order & building appies from scratch. No frozen food here!
