    Once you step inside, you will feel like you've teleported to Mexico!…read more Go straight to the hot table and check out the menu. Place your order, and find a seat. The food will be brought to you. At the side, there's a small salsa if you'd like additional condiments. We tried a plate of tacos and enchiladas. Incredible flavours! No wonder they have rolls of paper towels at each table. You'll need them! I can't wait to go back!

    We decided to visit Tacos Don Rigo after seeing a few positive reviews and being drawn in by the…read morefun, vibrant exterior it definitely catches your eye. However, we were surprised to find that the service was more like a food court setup: you place your order and pay at the cashier, then go sit and wait for them to bring the food to your table while calling out your name. We ordered the carnitas quesadilla, birria tacos with cheese, and two margaritas. The total came to $76, which felt very overpricedespecially for Mexican food. The margaritas tasted overly sweet and artificial, far from a proper margarita. On a positive note, the ambiance and décor are definitely unique and fun, and the food itself was tasty. But for that price point, it just didn't feel worth it. Our meals came with chips on the side, and unfortunately, they tasted stale. Overall, while the place has a cool vibe and good food, the pricing and drink quality left us disappointed.

    There are a few La Toxica locations around Montreal, and people sometimes mix them up when posting…read morephotos and reviews. I've been to a couple of them, and this location is definitely one of my favorites, along with the Jean-Talon location. You know the food is good when everyone at the table goes quiet because they're too busy eating. This was actually my first time ordering La Toxica on Uber Eats since I live pretty far away, and even with a 75-minute wait, it was 100% worth it. The carnitas tacos are probably the best tacos I've had so far. I haven't found another place that does them quite like this. The al pastor is incredible too flavour-wise, it's hard to find anything that compares. I've tried a lot of taco spots around Montreal, and this is one of the closest experiences I've had to authentic Mexican tacos. I enjoy Three Amigos, but it's a completely different style of food. La Toxica feels like the kind of place where someone's mom or grandma is in the kitchen making recipes that have been passed down for generations. The Birria and the consommé is always packed with flavor. If you're not sipping the consommé after dipping your tacos, you're missing out. Highly recommended.

    Very cute Mexican spot! I went on a Thursday night, and even though it was busy, they did their…read morebest to get us a table. The staff was friendly and super kind. I had the birria tacos with a strawberry margaritaeverything was very fresh and really good. Service can be a bit slow, but the quality of the food makes up for it. For dessert, we shared churros with ice cream. The churros were to die for so fresh,but I'd probably skip the ice cream next time since it was a bit too much. Overall, I really enjoyed this place. Just come with a bit of patience, as service may take longer than expectedbut the food is definitely worth it!

    PROS: - Delicious and beautiful food with a wide variety of…read morecolourful toppings. - Every cocktail that we had was very inventive and tasted great, with a balanced flavour profile CONS: - the food and drinks are quite expensive ($17 for a cocktail, over $30 for fajitas) - the service is slow and inattentive, food gets brought out at different times, getting the cheque took forever - one of the guests at my table ordered a tequila soda (what should be a basic order) - the waiter was brought them a can of Montpellier alongside a shot of tequila. There was an empty glass given but there wasn't even ice or a slice of lime or anything served with it. Asking for some ice for her drink took incredibly long too with how slow the service was. - the AC inside was WAY too cold, so cold that it hardened the cheese on some of the dishes as we waited for everyone's food to come out Overall this restaurant's food and drinks are great, with our experience marred by poor service. There seemed to be a ton of staff available the day we dined so there wasn't an excuse for how long it took to be served and to pay our bills.
