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.

Good service & food! Made me feel like I was in Mexico! The sauces are very good & spicy which gives you the whole Mexican experince. I recommend everyone to try this place if they love real authentic Mexican tacos

Ok I wanted mexican & this was good. Street like. No fanfare just tacos. If that's your cup of tea go for it. It was very good. It came recommended. But I prefer the works, like guacamole chips & margaritas. They did have beer.
If you want something quick this is the place.
