TACOS DON RIGO

This place is truly a hidden gem for Mexican food in the West Island. The moment you walk in, it feels like you’ve been transported to Mexico rather than Canada. The ambiance is lively and full of energy, with vibrant colors and great vibes throughout the restaurant. You can immediately tell how popular it is. When I arrived around 6 PM for takeout, there wasn’t a single empty table, and at least 10 people were already lined up for pickup — I was 10th in line. Within minutes, another 6–7 people joined behind me. Despite the crowd, everything moved quickly and efficiently. Now, the food — we ordered a Vegetarian Bowl and a Burrito. The flavors were completely different from typical franchise-style Mexican spots. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and full of character. Service was impressively fast, even during the rush. The seating capacity is around 30–35 people, so it does get crowded, but that just adds to the lively atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be enjoying both the food and the ambiance. Overall, this is a must-visit spot if you want to experience flavorful Mexican food and a vibrant atmosphere.

In my experience the best, most authentic Mexican restaurant in Montreal. Not a corporate American Disneyland version of Mexican dining, but the real thing. The decor is vintage Mexicana brought by the owner from his family ranch in Mexico. Colorful and genuine. Even using horse saddles as seats on side. The food is amazing. Fresh and a varied menu. The prices are reasonable and the service excellent with a friendly Latina staff. Also a well-stocked bar which has an excellent reputation for its margaritas. Seating in winter is very limited and it's always a tight fit. But always worth it!

all i gotta say is RRRIIIICCCOOOOOOO~~~ 🗣🗣🗣 consome a lil more on the tomato-ey side than I was used to but not bad !! you know its good when the location is not the most accessible, and its close to before close but customers still trying to get seated, rodeo on the TV, cumbia through the speakers 🫦👌🏽 would definitely come back, thank you !! got the birria pizza, which they don't sell that often I think, but she's there and she's BUUUSSSSIN.

The food at this place is definitely worth the price. The atmosphere is really classic and has the pure Mexican touch the decorations and restaurant setting has a great traditional Mexican vibe.

We ordered a family meal for 5 people. The place has good vibes in general but I found it bit cluttered. Taste is good, chicken burrito was delicious.

The quesa birria tacos are possibly one of the top 5 best foods I’ve ever tasted. They’re so flavourful it’s actually unbelievable. The service for two orders of birria tacos was so fast, I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is also very nice. I was worried that one order of tacos would be too small for one person but after eating three tacos (1 order), I can say it’s more than enough. Overall I do think this place is worth the price.

My boss suggested me to try to go eat at that place if I ever had the time few momths ago and I was in the area today with my husband (Sunday June 29 2025)! I must admit, this is the best taco place we've eaten!! This restaurant it's totally worth to travel for!! Too bad that they don't have it in Montreal, the ones in Montreal isn't comparable as theirs 🥲 We absolutely love the vibe, the food and the service ! Everything was fantastic, meal is not dry, tasted fresh, the pina colada strawberry slush was fantastic, the meats of our quesadillas & tacos was delicious and their guacamole was the BEST one I've eaten from all the restaurants I've been so far ! It was simply refreshing and mouthwatering 🤤 totally worth the price ❤️❤️❤️ We will come back again for sure with the family whenever we're craving for some authentic Mexican style restaurant 😋

Absolutely the best experience in service , warmth and the best authentic Mexican food by far !!! Thank you Don Rigo for your continued hospitality ! Try the Don Rigo specialty drink ( but don’t drive afterwards 😂)

Trendy bistro that wont compromise on the taste of Mexico. Beautiful people and delicious food that will fill you up with ease alon reasonable prices to cater for everyone budget. The one thing I reckon that they need to improve is to have a teller for the first timer as they can really make you extend your lunch break and not in a good way. :)

It's Taco Tuesday and we were very excited for the beautiful weather on cinqo de Mayo to get some tacos. For that we decided to go to @tacos_donrigo. Colourful and lively, beautifully decorated to the smallest detail; we really loved the ambiance and intoxicating smell as soon as we walked in. We got enough food to last us more than one meal (because when do we not?) and every bit of it was delicious but what really wowed us was the various exquisite sauces. We would drink that stuff straight. (kidding but... Only a little ). As we were eating @mtloroblanco, a mariachi band, showed up and made our experience that much more wonderful

Wife and I came from California to visit my cousins in Montreal. I guess I can't go more than 4 days without eating tacos so they took us to who they say are the best tacos in Montreal. They weren't wrong. The food is great. I had the torta and my wife had the queso birria tacos. They were both amazing. We also ordered some quesadilla and Don Rigo was nice enough to give us one on the house. Amazing service. We spoke with Don Rigo afterwards to thank him and tell him the food was amazing.

About as authentic as you can get in Montreal; you feel like your in a real little Mexican restaurant in the side streets of Mexico itself. Food is fresh and tasty; fast service; it has a nice little outside terrace. Good portions. Drinks are great; owner and servers are very nice. Prices are decent. Don't change a thing please! For someone who's been to Mexico a lot and loves the people and the food from there, this is a great alternative for à Montréalais.

Loved the Tacos. Tacos Don Rigo will be a West Island Staple for years to come. The wait is worth it while they work out the kinks. I recommend the Barria tacos. I'm from California and lived in Texas. This place is authentic as they come

Five stars for service, food and character. Awesome local gem! We had tacos - pulled pork and vegetarian . Both we fresh and had great flavor! I cant wait to come back to try other dishes on the menu. Cozy terrace and the interior worth a visit!

The last 2 times I've gone to pick up we got home to find out we did not get chicken in our dinners but some crunchy over done meat. This time we had rice that was NOT cooked inside our meals!! Never again. This place has lost its touch

As far as tacos north of the Mexican border , especially in Montreal, taco Don Rigo , for the first time in years, transported me back to the streets of Mexico. I am very impressed with the authenticity of their offering. I had the quesadilla birria and I loved it! They make them just like in Mexico. I am still full theee hours later.

This place is AMAZING? I am a huge fan of Mexican food and this place has great food. I love the ambiance of the restaurant. It's a gem.

Finally got to try out Tacos Don Rigo which opened just a few weeks ago. You get transported to Mexico as soon as you enter the restaurant. The decor brings a welcoming and fun vibe. We ordered (to go of course) the QUESA BIRRIA - slow cooked beef sandwiched in two tortillas with cheese and grilled to golden brown perfection; served with a flavorful broth. YUM! You can taste the pineapple in the meat inside the AL PASTOR burrito. I asked our server Jimena to put everything in the burrito - refried beans, rice, corn, onions, jalapeño, cactus salad/relish, guacamole, chopped tomatoes, cheese, lettuce and cream. DELICIOUS! The burrito was like the size of a small baby and I inhaled the whole thing! And here I thought I was only going to eat half of it! They also give you a complimentary side of tortilla chips. The hot sauce was not as spicy as I thought it would be but it packed a lot of flavor. After this very satisfying meal, I needed a shower and a nap. And I mean it in a good way. They seem to get sold out fast so I recommend ordering ahead. Support this new local business and at the same time, make your belly and taste buds happy! win-win!

Place is is awesome. It's authentic Mexican, not crispy Old Paso. Been here a few times and had Taco Al Pastor, Taco Biriria & Taco Chorizo. All were great but the Chorizo and Birira were my favs. Even better was the Burrito Biriria. It was next level! Quality and fresh ingredients. When Covid is over, the deco will have a cool fun cantina vibe.

Very fun hip place with an authentic menu. Everything we tried was great. The quesa birria are a must, but their other items are really just as tasty.

The best tacos in town (it was a recommendation from my Mexican friend and he is right!); super funky decor on the inside too and a little terrace outside; they could be a little faster in service (in a July 2021), but to be fair, there is a "hiring!" sign outside. I've been twice and plan to go again. Enjoy the tacos; skip the quesadilla (too greasy).
