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.

One of the only places in montreal (to my knowledge) that doesn't use those disgusting processed corn tortillas for their tacos. Amazing!!

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.

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.
