This place came highly recommended so we tried it out. The tacos were a little dry but were absolutely delicious if you put the guac on them. The piña colada was not frozen, it was just like a juice so not great. But the mango margarita was one of the best I've ever had. All in all I'd recommend this place but choose wisely read more

Flavorful food, tasty margaritas and an eclectic vibe indoors. They have patio dining as well. Great for lunches.

Just went back. Still delicious. It's now doubled in size since my last review. Had the birria tacos and carnitas. Id've liked a spicier salsa read more

Tacos Tin Tan - Tacos montreal ( alambres) - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Finally, good Mexican in Canada! We stopped in for a bite and a drink on a recent weekend and were delighted by this spot's fresh and authentic fare that satiated this Texan's cravings. Guacamole on the patio, coupled with margaritas and an absolutely delicious bebida de azul that went down like Sprite and set me off right for the evening. Shout-out to the friendly waitress, who provided us with real Mexican hospitality in the unlikeliest of places. Just the best in town. read more

The first time I walked by Tacos Tin Tan it was positively overflowing, with young people spilling onto the sidewalk, waiting for a table. Most of the tables are outside and as I glanced at the food a mental note was made: a return to Tacos Tin Tan was in order. A few nights later I returned to Tacos Tin Tan. If they'd been packed earlier, they weren't packed now, shortly before closing. I'd read somewhere that Tacos Tin Tan made the best tacos in Montreal but I have the feeling that I read it in some local rag touting places in the neighborhood. The tacos here are good, small but mighty, and perhaps that's why the menu hawks them as triplets. That is: all tacos on the menu are presented as "3 of one kind". Should you want a mix of say, carne asada and carnitas, each of those will be ordered separately and come in at a bit higher price. Still, you won't go broke here. My 3 fish tacos were tasty and nicely presented. I also sprang for some guacamole which some seemed to say was a must. It's not. Good, but as always (except in Mexico), a smaller portion than I'd like. Service proved adequate if somewhat unprofessional, with me needing to twice request a couple of things and each dish of mine being first presented to the table beside me in error. Whoops. Tacos Tin Tan serves good tacos and guac on a par with what one would find at any favorite taqueria. Their sweet spot, I feel, is that it's an easy place to stop into with friends, with casual outdoor street-side seating ideal for a warm Montreal evening. read more

We came in around 5 p.m. for dinner, excited about all the positive reviews. When we arrived the restaurant was completely empty but fully staffed in the kitchen and front of house. Our expectations were too high. We ordered Al Pastor, Fish, and Steak Tacos. The meat for Al Pastor and Steak was overdone and too dry, there were also barely any toppings inside the tacos. Fish tacos were better in flavour and toppings, but the fish is deep fried and the oil was literally dripping out as you bit into the fish. We've eaten a lot of tacos in Mexico and Toronto and the GTA, these are no more than a 2.5/5 at best. At the end there was still nobody in the restaurant and we had to ask for our bill. read more

Great local place. Service was fast even though it was relatively busy, and they had some nice decor. Tacos tasted good and were well priced for the amount you get, but the guacamole really stood out as some of the best I've ever had. I would definitely go back to try the mushroom tacos. read more

Hands down my favourite tacos in Montreal! The fish tacos are definitely my favourite, as they are so flavoursome! The carnitas tacos are also great. Note that if you order through UberEats for the combo, you get 3 fish tacos vs 4 carnitas tacos for the same combo set... Would love it if the quantity is kept same for the same combo! read more

This is one of my fav taco shops in Montreal. They have the classic options with which you can never go wrong. I especially enjoy the Al Pastor and the cactus cheese tacos. Sometimes, they offer special tacos that differ from their classic menu that are definitely worth a try. The decor, patio and ambiance are lovely and the service was nice, polite, fast and efficient. read more

Visited this spot last month and it is a decent spot to grab tacos. I ordered the al pastor and the fish tacos and enjoyed them! Portions are abit small for the price but the taste is good and authentic. The restaurant has an ample amount of seating and very colourful festive decor. The tables and chairs though are abit dated. Taking a star away because the wait for the food is very long. There weren't many customers and from the time we placed our order (waited about 15mins to order) to getting the order, I think we waited over 45mins to get our food. read more

On my way go visiting , I checked out places to dine nearby and found Taco Tin Tan. A small local flavoured Mexican business, bustling with people. The terrace and décor were cute. We opted to sit outdoors. There isn't much leg room to tell you the truth, but that's the beauty of joints like this one. Prices started at 15$ for 3 rather large sized tacos. I had the Montreal and octopus taco. Didn't really enjoy either that much - Montreal had melted mozerella that was off in flavour and the octopus wasnt cooked properly. I also had the Eloté that wasn't very flavourful - mostly watery canned corn topped with some paprika. Cocktails were jive - freshly made pina colada, no complaints there. I'm not a taco expert but I feel there are more authentic taco joints than taco tin tan. read more

The tacos were delicious and were very friendly in the service. It's a small but cozy place. I went with some friends The only thing is that it is not a restaurant where you can fill yourself with a single plate of tacos. It's a tapas-style place. The tacos are small, just like the quesadillas. read more

Solid place though I'm surprised it won a "best of" competition on Yelp. I tried 3 of their tacos: (1) Al Pastor, (2) Mushroom Al Pastor, and (3) Shrimp. The shrimp was the biggest in size but my least favourite. The shrimp is fried but the batter is under seasoned. I thought the fixings in the tacos would make up for that but it did not. I guess I like some spice or salt tast when I crunch into batter. Both the Al Pastor and Mushroom Al Pastor were yummy. But both were also skimpy on the amount of filling in the tacos. One thing to note about these tacos: the corn tortillas are somewhere between soft and crispy - though closer to soft in feel and to crispy in colour. To be honest, not my favourite. I prefer the traditional classic (soft, slight char, slight steaming - in container not real steaming - to give light fluffiness to texture... that's what most real taco places I've tried do). Finally, drank a horchata. A bit sweet but very good (and a generous - maybe even shareable - portion size). Also had a Pina Colada. Ordered virgin but got alcoholic one. Size was small but taste was fine. Resto offered to reduce charge to virgin when I pointed out but I declined - from my perspective, I was happy they offered to do that but I was in a rush to leave for another obligation. The place is clean but there are much hipper options for places to hang out and eat tacos at in town. With that said, I might return for a lunch type thing (probably not for dinner and drinks). read more

If I can give this place more stars .. i most definitely would! I was so excited that Yelp had created an event for this place! *taco face off* I've been literally looking for a great taco place! And this guys.. THIS is my new home! As soon as you walk in , it has this funky but yet Mexican theme to it.. the place is very clean and just completely comfortable! The staff is Spanish/Mexican they all spoke the language which was soooooo authentic feelings happening! I felt like I was literally in Mexico having tacos in a local restaurant.. we tried the chorizo , shrimp , el Paso.. everything was delicious and beyond! We actually ended up ordering another order of the shrimp! That's how amazing it was! The tortilla was soft and so flavorful .. everything was seasoned perfectly and with just the right amount of love. The only meh part about the el Paso taco was the pineapple was canned rather than fresh. And I mean to each their own when making a recipe or a creation but I just feel for how amazing their food is and with fresh ingredients maybe a fresh pineapple would make it just perfect? Cocktails!! Holly God dam. The pina colada.. guys I'm literally moving into this restaurant. It was exactly what a pina colada should taste like! Funny thing is it had fresh pineapple as a decor! Haha .. Hands down best tacos in town. read more

Wonderful tacos! I generally dislike Americanized Mexican fast food but the stuff here is pretty authentic and everything is incredibly fresh. I had the lunch special of 3 tacos for $10.95 , I got the sirloin beef tacos and put hot sauce on them because I'm Indian after all and a spice-freak and they were perfect. Excellent guacamole also. Bonus: Tons of cool wall art based on Latin American personalities and motifs. read more

At 2.50 per taco plus taxes (with a check-in) I tried one of each allowed with that offer: one Al Pastor and one Mushroom on fresher and slightly thicker corn tortillas than I've had other places - I still prefer flour ones. Both has pieces of pineapple other chopped additions, but the Al Pastor was much more flavorful than the mushroom - which was somewhat plain and disappointing. I tried the Hibiscus juice and it was quite nice. Their two sauces are good, with the green one being less spicy than the orange one - still not extreme but did make the mushroom bites more interesting. I was told the Horchata drink was good, but on the sweet side. I also heard the Huitacoche tasted like snails and the battered and fried shrimp tacos were worth ordering two orders of in one sitting. The décor is a mixed bag and includes a long brick wall, metal tables plus various posters; ranging from Pulp Fiction, the Shining and Snatch to Mexican wresting posters and then onto photos of Frida Kahlo in the restroom and in other spots around the restaurant. Overall, they have a nice selection of Mexican dishes and with a decent budget you can try several authentic-style dishes. Let's see if a group wants to get together and share orders as they come with three. Note: I will say the filling level of one of the tacos was significantly less than the other. I'm leaving my rating a four as from a-z it tilts that way. read more

People usually recommend me this place to have some tacos. I have to agree, the tacos here are amazing. The flavor and presentation are ridiculously good. I had their pastor and campechano tacos. The latter have to be the best of their style in the City ( this coming from a Mexican and an all time campechano taco fan). Their sauces are yummy and spciy. So this place satisfies the three elements that make a taco good: 1. Good tortillas. Soft and a bit crunchy. 2. Good content. Meaning it's fresh and nicely. spiced. 3. Good salsas. Hot, spicy and with tons of flavor. When talking about its environment, the decoration is awesome. I also had the chance to watch a football match (Liga MX) while drinking a couple of Mexican beers. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. I wanted to try their esquites (Legendary Mexican street food) but I was too full by the time I found them on the menu. Next time. They also play a lot of rock in Spanish, good rock in Spanish, which I believe is refreshing rather than the overused mariachi and bolero style of music in Mexican restaurants. Staff is cool and friendly. Come to eat and enjoy your tacos here, do it. You will never regret it. #NoEraPenal read more

Cute bustling taco place. Very quirky decor and not a lot of space, but they have a nice terasse. The menu is written on a chalkboard and isn't too big in variety (mostly tacos, but a few appetizers like soup, chips and guac, quesadillas too). Not outrageously expensive, but things are a bit pricey for the quantity you get (around 3 dollars per taco, you can only buy 4 at a time of the same kind). I wish the tacos came with some rice or beans or salad to make it a bit more filling. But the tacos themselves are very good, and seem authentic (I'm just a gringo though so take my opinion with a grain of salt). I got the carnitas, which are similar in texture to pulled pork, and they were very tender with some fatty bits. It was well seasoned and very tasty! I also tried the al pastor and enjoyed that as well, though I prefer the carnitas. I also shared the chips and guac with a friend. The guac was good and fresh, and the sauces were nice - the mild still has quite a kick to it, and according to my friends it was better than the hot one, which packed a lot of heat but was flat in flavor. There are also vegetarian options on the menu too. The servers were efficient and fairly friendly and managed to find seating for a party of six in a reasonablr amount of time, which we rrally appreciated. Also lots of cool cocktails and mexican drinks, which you can also get to go. read more

I'm from LA and was visiting, craving tacos, expecting to be disappointed. As someone who is plant based and spoiled with food choices in my home city, my bar is set high for plant based tacos when I'm out of town. Well, let me tell you. This place absolutely killed it! I got one of each of their plant based taco options and a cocktail, all of which were delicious and very affordable. I ordered 3 more tacos to go and ate them before arriving at my destination. Thank you for your kick ass tacos, and for having vegan options read more

Here's the deal, I want to give it a higher rating but because I'm Mexican, I have high expectations for tacos. That's the reason why I am only giving this place a three star rating. I decided to visit because of the reviews. Let me say the size of the tacos is big! One taco is really more like two tacos. I had a chicken and an al pastor taco, they were okay. That's just it. I wish the pastor had more flavor. However, their guacamole and esquite are fantastic! The service was also very good. And I love that the food is cooked to order. You can basically see them cooking, and washing dishes. I like that for some reason. The place is small but it was not crowded when we stopped by on a Tuesday night. read more

Super amazing drinks and tacos! Go for the carnitas! Super authentic, fresh and delish - with 3 types of spice ranging from mild to pretty hot. The mule Mexicana was freakin amazing!

We were drawn in from the very high reviews and had high hopes but most of us didn't enjoy our meal. I didn't enjoy my steak tacos, and the chicken quesadilla was basically just two chicken tacos with cheese. I'm not a big fan of cilantro though and i didn't know it was part of the garnish since it wasn't listed in the ingredients. Almost everything comes with cilantro so if you like that then you're good, if not, make sure you ask to remove it. The fish taco was delicious though! If I came back I would just order those. They had a good special of 3x tacos for $11. They all have to be the same though. Find out what the favourites are here because we tried a wide variety and only a few stood out. read more

Enjoyed my take-out tacos from here! I ordered the chicken and fish tacos. At first, I was worried about the price-to-quantity ratio, as the order came to $15 or so. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I got home and saw two fish tacos and a large chicken taco. It was plenty. I was asked if I wanted spicy salsa, said yes, and the server clarified whether I wanted it "very" spicy. I was glad I said medium, because it was hot! A nice authentic place that is definitely worth a try. Next time, I will come and have a drink on the patio! read more
