Taco's Express

Taco’s Express is the kind of place that makes you feel welcome the moment you step in. With its vibrant decor, warm lighting, and charming “Tequila et Tacos” neon sign, it sets the perfect mood for a laid-back evening with friends. My wife and I visited with another couple, and the atmosphere instantly made us feel like we were on a mini getaway to Mexico. The service was exceptional, friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food. We were especially impressed by the variety of salsas and peppers available, which added a fun and flavorful kick to the meal. If you’re into spicy food, you’ll love exploring their options. We ordered several dishes to share, and both the appetizers and main courses were excellent. The nachos, loaded with toppings and beautifully presented, were a highlight, generous portions and full of flavor. One small tip: the juices served aren’t natural, so we recommend skipping them and opting for a Jarritos instead, it’s a perfect match for the tacos and keeps the authentic vibe going strong. Taco’s Express is a great spot for a casual dinner with friends or a relaxed date night. With delicious food, a colorful setting, and fantastic service, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the Plateau area.

Taco Express on Mont Royal in Montreal is a hidden gem that serves up an authentic taste of Mexico in a lively, casual atmosphere. The colorful Mexican decor sets a cozy yet festive vibe, making it the perfect spot for enjoying a delicious meal with friends or family. Their diverse drink menu perfectly complements the food, making it an excellent choice whether you’re dining in or ordering delivery via Uber Eats. I’ll be posting a video review on TikTok (@Foxy.appetite) and Instagram (@Foxyappetite) soon! In-Depth Review: Flautas (Tacos Fritos) – $13 The flautas were a stellar introduction to my meal. Crispy, golden perfection on the outside and tender on the inside, these tacos are filled with either juicy chicken or savory mashed potatoes. The textures were on point – crispy, yet soft, creating a satisfying bite with every crunch. The side of fresh salad, sour cream, cheese, and guacamole balanced out the richness of the tacos beautifully. The guacamole, in particular, stood out with its creamy, fresh flavor that contrasted perfectly with the savory tacos. Quesabirria – $15 for 2 tacos The quesabirria was the undeniable star of the show. The handmade tortillas were soft yet substantial, holding together a generous helping of melty cheese and tender, flavorful beef birria. Every bite was packed with deep, savory goodness. A side of barbacoa broth for dipping took this dish to another level, adding a rich, flavorful depth. The fresh cilantro, onions, and lime added a refreshing zing, while the accompanying sauce gave the dish just the right amount of heat. This is a perfect example of Mexican cuisine at its best – a comforting classic with elevated flavors. Pastor Tacos – $12 for 2 tacos The pastor tacos were another standout. The marinated pork was perfectly juicy and infused with a blend of spices that gave it depth and complexity. The pineapple was a brilliant touch, providing a sweet contrast to the savory richness of the pork. Fresh onions, cilantro, and lime topped off the tacos, and the sauce added a nice extra layer of flavor. The handmade tortillas were soft, sturdy, and held up well to the hearty filling. These tacos were a fantastic example of how balance is key in Mexican cuisine. Drinks I started with a spicy margarita, made with house-infused jalapeño tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. The balance was perfect – just the right amount of sweetness with enough heat to keep things exciting. If you’re a fan of spicy margaritas, this one’s a must-try. Next, I enjoyed a refreshing cocktail featuring cactus and Grand Marnier (I can’t quite remember the name!). It was smooth, subtly complex, and a perfect follow-up to the margarita. For dessert, I indulged in the Fresada – a strawberry puree blended with rum and sweet cream. This drink was the ultimate treat, refreshing and sweet, evoking the feeling of a perfect summer evening. Dessert To wrap up the meal, I went with the flan ($5), and it did not disappoint. The texture was velvety smooth, the caramelization was just right, and the sweetness was perfectly balanced. It was the ideal ending to a fantastic meal. Conclusion Taco Express delivers an exceptional dining experience with authentic Mexican flavors, elevated by thoughtful preparation and a modern twist. The tacos, from the crispy flautas to the indulgent quesabirria and flavorful pastor tacos, are all packed with bold, fresh tastes. The creative cocktails add another layer to the experience, making it an unforgettable meal. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a relaxing evening out, Taco Express is a must-visit, and one you’ll definitely want to return to time and time again.

Don’t be fooled by the “express”— this great little Mexican place has a super cute terrace and frequently has live Mexican music. The food is really good, tastes authentic and our waitress gave us lots of tips and knew the menu really well. They have good drinks as well! They do not have fish tacos, but they have all sorts of dishes with beef chicken or porc, and vegetarian options as well. Fairly priced!

The food was good we ordered burritos and a sizzling taco plate. The drink was absolutely horrible and the fact you're eating with disposable cutlery and glass.....well it's not fun in any way and severely bad for the environment. I won't go back. We ordered an extra guacamole that was 10+ because it came with nachos that we mentioned didn't want.... I'm not feeding chips to a 1 year old. Everything was slow... Our experience wasn't positive

We discovered this amazing restaurant today. The food was amazing, the cocktails made with fresh fruits, they are so delicious. The service is outstanding. I would recommend it 100% Will go back for sure!

I’m editing this review so that it’s clear that we were never even served! Waitress ignored us for over 20 min. Decided to clean every single table before taking our order. She walked by and looked right at me, saw us waiting for her and ignored us completely. This had nothing to do with being a server down. My friend even went to ask her how we could order and she still won’t come to our table. We finally had to get up and leave the restaurant. It’s unacceptable.

A friend and I had a table on the terrace last Friday evening. We waited 20 minutes as the waitress seemingly ignored us. The restaurant was not busy, many patrons were leaving or settling their tabs. I went inside to inquire about ordering to which the waitress apologized and said she would be coming out to take our order. We waited another 10 minutes and finally left… hungry and disappointed!

The Taco is ok. Lack freshness and spice! I tasted bifteck, Polo and sausage ones! They were good but none of them special! Same for the guacamole!
