Taqueria La Matraca is described as an authentic street style taqueria with a wide range of options, where the tacos such as al pastor, lengua, suadero and bistek are praised for fresh ingredients, good tortillas and flavorful salsas, with several reviews noting that they do not use processed tortillas and that the overall flavour sets it apart from other spots. Prices are consistently described as affordable, offering great value and often highlighted as among the best deals in the area. Service is generally friendly and accommodating, though some mentions of slower pace during busy times appear, and the ambiance is simple and unpretentious with food at the forefront. A few comments point to minor drawbacks like limited vegetable options and occasional greasiness, alongside a wish for more avocado, but these are outweighed by the positive notes on authenticity, variety and reliable quality. Overall, Taqueria La Matraca comes across as a reliable, beloved choice for tasty, well seasoned tacos made with fresh ingredients.

Fantastic authentic Mexican food. My wife & I enjoyed every bit. My wife is from Mexico City & felt like she was back home. The salsa was a bit mild though ;)

Good afternoon. I promised a review of this restaurant - & honestly, these are some of the best street tacos I've ever had in my life. I think - if you're in Montreal - these might be the closest street tacos you can get without visiting Mexico (the food is that good - & I say this as I live in the United States). I went to the restaurant on multiple days - & by day 3, the proprietors knew exactly what my order was going to be. Here's the great thing, too - the food is HEALTHY. It was not greasy - it is basically almost a completely gluten-free menu. The service is great - & the proprietors are friendly. Please make sure you spend your money here - you will not be disappointed.

Best tortas in Canada. Best tacos in the North East. Best SALSAS I've had on this side of the Mississippi. I'm from Texas & spend time in Mexico & YUM. Delicious. Eactly what you want when you want a beer, tortas, & tacos. The salsa is FRESH. Great guajillo salsa & great tamatillo salsa yum.
