The 38 Essential Restaurants in Montreal
"This taqueria thrives in Chinatown and has dinnerware to match the neighborhood. Opened in 2015 by partners from Mexico City and Monterrey, La Capital has cemented its reputation with some satisfying carnitas tacos, easy-drinking cocktails made with privately imported mezcal, and vegan options (such as a soy chorizo and potato quesadilla). Its quesabirria — a tortilla filled with tender beef, sealed shut with melted cheese, and served with a side of flavorful consomé — is a must. Service is friendly and swift, ensuring that even when there’s a queue, the wait won’t be excessively long." - Valerie Silva
