Decent tasting tacos and burritos! The prices and the portions are great. Their burrito is a bit bland sometimes so I definitely recommend getting the tacos instead. It's a nice place to sit and eat. If you don't go at peak hours it's quiet and spacious. read more

I stopped by Don Taco the other day for a snack. I won't lie, the 3 tacos for $5 sign out front was what drew me in. For the price, the tacos were good. I mean really, you can't even get 3 tacos at Taco Bell for $5 and these are better than Taco Bell. So the restaurant is at the back of a bakery/café called Café Desserts Etc. The decor looks like a bakery and not so much a taco joint, but hey whatever. It's the same staff working both places and the menus are combined into one. So the 3 for $5 tacos were the Picadillo tacos the day I went (the cashier had to ask the chef what the special taco was, so not sure if it changes daily, or she was new and didn't know). The tacos were on a corn tortilla (I love corn tortillas! Many Mexican fast food places use flour tortillas, boo!). They were filled with ground beef, potatoes, lettuce and sour cream. There were 3 different hot sauces that you could add to your tacos. I tried all of them and liked the green one the most. The beef itself was minimal and yes, somewhat reminiscent of Taco Bell, but the taco was tastier and much more interesting than a Taco Bell taco. The potatoes added an interesting texture and taste, and the sauce they were cooked in was flavourful. Listen, you're not going to get gourmet tacos for the price. I went in expecting fast food tacos and with such expectations, I was pleased with what I got. Staff were pleasant and the place was clean. I would go back. read more

Just went to Don Taco after going vegan and asked for a specialty vegetarian taco bowl (no cheese or sour cream.) I took it home and it. was. STACKED!! With beans, roasted veggies, fresh salad ingredients, and rice. I was really pleased and appreciated having my requests understood. As a vegan with a big appetite I was happy, so many flavours that I missed from my pre-vegan days came flooding back into my new likely regular order. Thank you!!! read more

Croissants and tacos? Why not blend them together in one sweet spot in the Concordia ghetto. One block away from from 3 amigos takes a lot of courage. Glad to say it passed the test for me, it is very fresh and tasty. The burritos are not gigantic just right sized for me. The choice of sides are mushed up beans, salad and rice with corn. The price per plate is under 10 dollars for most items, even steak and shrimp. They have 3 soft tacos for $5 The only downside is the lack of spices so make sure to ask for the sauces trio to complement the burritos and soft tacos. read more

Don Taco - 3 chicken tacos - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This is probably my first and last time here. The place looks cool with the cute decor but the tacos are not good at all! I had the special offer of the day $5 for the chicken taco and at my first bite, I was disappointed. Looked like they bought the tacos from the grocery store and just put the sauce and chicken on it! Not good at all. It may be cheap but I didn't like it at all! The flavours were so bland. If you're a foodie and loves flavours and taste, those tacos will disappoint you! read more

Don Taco - What a disappointment! - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Came here for the Taco Tuesday special, which is 1$ ground beef tacos. First thing's first, this is a bakery/Mexican counter - interesting combo. I ordered two special Tuesday tacos, which were supposed to be ground beef. However, it was some kind of meat mixed with potato, which resulted in mashed mass. Didn't taste good. I also ordered one carne asada taco and one pastor taco, just to have an idea of what their regular tacos taste like. Both were very mediocre. The meat was rough and lacked flavor. I wasn't pleased with my experience. The baked goods looked good though! read more

Unimpressive tacos. Main problem for me is the portion: Toppings/fillings come in small quantities although the tortilla is of standard size. The taste of corn is then very present, but the overall feel is blander than what it could have been. Some examples I want to point out is, firstly, the shrimp taco. It contained literally 3 small shrimps, such that half the bites were 100% vegetarian. As for the pastor taco, I could have rolled myself a mini burrito full of dough with that small amount of meat. A random observation is tortillas are sometimes crispy, sometimes soft, and it's independent of what I order. The meals can be accompanied with 3 different kinds of chipotle salsa, ranging from mild, spicy, and spicier. All I can say is that the salsas really add another dimension of flavor, although it tends to overwhelm the whole taste if added in generous quantities. I suggest glazing the taco with a thin layer of salsa for the best result. Otherwise, for people on a student budget, Don Taco offers deals that seem really too good to pass up. However, the 0.99$ taco on Tuesdays or the 3/5$ tacos are filled with potatoes, with a hint of beef. They're not worth the money. Considering the competition around that neck of the woods, I'm surprised they justify 2.75$ with a half empty taco. read more

What the hell happened to this place? I just left after ordering a shrimp tacos meal. Please look at the picture. I wish I was lying. After waiting 30 mins to finally get our food. It was cold and there half a shrimp in each taco. With just cheese and 3 pieces of peppers.. my boyfriend ordered a taco bowl which was cold as well. And the sour cream or wtv the white sauce was, was so sour almost like it went bad. I've ordered here before a little over a year ago. I don't understand what happened .. new management ?? read more

Super affordable, especially with the Tuesday special (it only costs 1 dollar but its limited to only one kind, not all of them are 1$). I usually eat my tacos at Maïs, but its cost twice as much as Don Taco. The plating is not as fancy and the portions are not as generous as at Maïs, but for such a cheap price I won't complain. Love how the tortillas have crispy edges. They don't put too much sauce or seasonings, which really brings out the natural flavors of the ingredients, but it can make you feel like it tastes a bit bland... Great spot to grab a quick and cheap lunch :) read more

Don Taco - Porc, fish, beef tacos - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Don Taco is an oasis in a land of strange, over priced tacos. The tacos are nice, cheap, and legitimately central american. When I first discovered Don Taco I ended up going there something like 7 times in 2 weeks (don't judge :p). The food is always good and reasonably fast. The staff are super nice even when I've F'd up my own order. I've run through the menu of tacos, and dipped into the burrito menu. I have to say the fish tacos are really the standout. There can be no regrets with tacos. For now Montreal's taco battle is firmly Don Taco vs. Cafe Frida. read more

Don Taco - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

While traveling down Saint Catherine Street we wandered upon Don Taco and decide to try out this little hole in the wall since we are in the mood for some Mexican food. Walking into the restaurant we didn't have high expectations for the overall quality, but after dining here I have to give it to them and say that they are pretty decent. We ended up getting cow tongue tacos which were delicious and since it came with a combination of rice and beans we paid very little for a really filling meal. The beans were a little watery and the rice wasn't the most flavorful but overall the food was really great and the service here was great as well. Having a wife who is part Mexican can sometimes lead to some heated discussions around good Mexican food and I have to say that she enjoyed the meal which was a surprise for the middle of Canada. read more

Ordered through Uber eats... worst meal I've ever had the misfortune of wasting money on. Tacos are minuscule and immensely over priced, the beans are in paste form, and the burritos are a mess. Would never recommend anyone going to this restaurant,considering the price on everything on their menu this is a complete scam, go make a peanut butter sandwich you'll be better off with 30$ in your pocket. Alright thanks for reading hope you aren't stupid enough to eat at this place read more

Worst taco ever tried in my entire life!!! I ordered beef soft tacos. The tortillas were stale, the meat was tasteless stinky ground beef, not even inducing the feel of having tacos in your hands! Felt like there was a piece of stale bread with some low quality ground beef! Overall quality= 0 Never come back! read more

The fall from an authentic affordable Mexican place to a "Mexican" cafe famous for their butter chiken!

The place looks like a bakery with a grill in the back for tacos, food was good for the price, would recommend the beef taco plate

ATMOSPHERE: Don Taco is in the back of a bakery. A bit small and not the most spectacular place out there. The decor is kind of tacky. Also the bathroom door is very hidden because it's has the same design of the wall, it's like playing find-it. FOOD: The food is decent. It's nothing that will make you fall out of your seat and the quality isn't the freshest but nonetheless, it's still not bad if you add their hot sauces to your food. Portions are pretty small as well. PRICE: Very affordable. They have 1$ tacos on Tuesdays which is great! Note that you will be getting what you pay for so don't expect anything fancy. SERVICE: Personally, every time I have gone there, the servers were very friendly. read more

A random taco place in Montreal. This review is specifically for the tacos and burritos. The food here is practical and cheap, sure, but it's also mediocre. A place like this wouldn't last a day in Mexico because they take forever to serve you and also the food is honestly whatever and so is the service. I mean look at that rice, it's damn white rice at a Mexican restaurant. No flavor. Come here if you have no standards and are very hungry for a cheap meal. read more

Don Taco - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

My mother and I have been supporting this restaurant many times over the past months, and have seen a steady decline in the quality and care put into the food. Tonight we decided to get our usual of veggie nachos and guac - the first thing we noticed when it arrived is the portion size. It used to take up at least half the container, now barely covers a forth, the contents are almost soupy- we began eating, hoping the quality would make up for the quantity- to our dismay it was unbearably spicy to the point of being inedible. Frustrated, we called the restaurant hoping they would make things right, instead they insisted they had done nothing wrong and refused to accept accountability. We will not be supporting them anymore, very disappointing. read more

Don Taco - tortilla, guacamole and chips - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I implore you: Please please help Montreal mexican cuisine by treating yourself to Don Taco and supporting local businesses that are truly adding to the cultural diversity of the city instead of acting as hipster flytraps for white 20-somethings. Somehow it came to pass that a single Taco in Montreal should cost 6$ and be regarded as some kind of luxury. So I'm thankful for whatever confluence of disparate events that led to the existence of Don Taco - this miraculous Mexican food shelter serving 2-3$ amazing and delicious corn tortilla tacos. I'll call it authentic, and your eyes will start to roll from how cliche it is nowadays to call something authentic. Yet I swear they'll unroll as soon as the flavours of an Al Pastor taco reach the tip of your tongue. Keep in mind it's a tiny place, so either be happy eating while standing at the small counter/bar, or take your food to go. This is a great place to stop by for a quick snack while you're doing the million things you can be doing in the downtown core. Whatever you do don't miss it! read more

I come here often. In my opinion you should add more onion and cilantro to the tacos . Me as a Mexican born and raised there , ask you to make your tacos more Mexican , add more onion more cilantro more lemons , like a rico y delicioso real Mexican taco. Thank you would appreciate . read more

Don Taco has great authentic Mexican food at a reasonable price. I had three tacos; shrimp, fish and shredded chicken with a side of rice and a side of beans. Each taco was loaded and all the ingredients tasted fresh. My boyfriend had the picadillo burrito which was HUGE. We shared some of their home-made lemonade which was a great thirst-quencher. The space isn't that big, with only two or three tables for two and one bar with stools along the side of the restaurant. They make the food Dailey quickly so it's decent for takeout! Highly recommended! read more

Don Taco - Pescado (fish), Camarones (Shrimp) and Alambre (Chicken) tacos. So good!! - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Discovered this place a few weeks ago, just opened. Very friendly service, freshly made food, hot and tasty. The price is incredible, just 1.75 each for most Tacos, and on Tuesdays, which I just came from yesterday, they have a $0.99 special per beef-filled taco. The Tinga so far is my favorite, shredded chicken, lean and delicious. Choice of hot sauces offered at the serving bar, the red one's my favorite, and it's got kick. Small place, only a few tables, but has a bar with seats along the side that is convenient. What could stand improvement is perhaps how orders are placed, which has resulted twice now in small mistakes in the food order, but after which they immediately fixed. Possible solution is perhaps by offering customers a ticket number so that we can help verify the order when we get it as well? All in all though, the combination of price, service and quality of food makes this place outstanding. I'm a fan read more

Don Taco - Taco Tuesdays... $0.99 each - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Don Taco used to be one of the few places open later on Foodora, at a relatively cheap price, so I have had it quite a bit. The burritos are packed and you get a fair amount of meat and a ton of lettuce and filler veggies. The nachos are not that great but I cannot imagine you were expecting much! What I will say about Don Taco is that if you want some classic take out food that will fill you up, not cost an arm and leg, and you are in the mood for Mexican, then they are a pretty safe bet! The food is easy to make, so delivery should be quick and they pack it cleanly. read more

I find it just ok. I'd give it a 2.5 if I could but definitely not a 3, so...2 it is. By just ok I mean that you won't feel hungry afterwards nor feel sick, you won't need to frown when eating those tacos but won't remember what they taste like as soon as you're done with your meal. There's nothing special to it, the tortillas seem to be store bought and sauces pre made and watery like almost every other Mexican place in Montreal... Or maybe I'm just being picky having lived in Mexico for many years... read more

I'm from Texas and let's say, this place is a bakery that fronts as a Mexican restaurant.

I'm giving this place a 5/5 rating because it is awesome! Located in a shared space with a cake maker, the food was way, way authentic. The food tasted amazing. Had the tacos Pastor with rice and beans. Well made, home made, fresh spicy salsa. I'm very pick about my Mexican and I have to say, this one passed. It's a no thrills place - no bar service and small but that's fine with me. If you want authentic flavor and not too expensive, go here. read more

Delicious Mexican meal at affordable and competitive student prices. It's a little tight on space but the feeling of authenticity was completed by my almost complete inability to understand the jolly and pretty cashier's accent. Cheap prices, easy access but there isn't many tables with a lot of space. So if you're 4 or more, forget it. Don't judge a book by its cover. The cover is admittedly pretty sad considering how small the joint is making it incredibly easy to ignore while walking by. read more

Tacos are in my top 3ish favourite foods so when I go to taco joints, my expectations are always high. Don Taco underwhelmed me. I ordered 2 of the ground beef tacos (because it's a classic and will usually be the best gauge for a taco establishment) and a chicken taco. My friend ordered 2 vegetarian tacos. My tacos weren't terrible but I probably could've just saved myself the disappointment and bought one of those Old El Paso taco mix boxes and gotten better results. My friend seemed to enjoy his vegetarian tacos though so maybe I missed something. Probably won't come back. read more

Based off the reviews i was expecting this place to be a hidden gem. At best it was average, and by average i mean extremly mediocre food that wasn't overly authentic. The prices are reasonable, but i guess you get what you pay for. The tortilla tasted store bought, we heard them heating up our beans in a microwave and the rice had absolutely no flavor nor aroma. The tacos were OK but nothing you'd run home and tell your friends about. This quaint looking restaurant can pass you by if you blink too quickly. It seats about 10-12 people, so if you're a big group I'd cross this place off your list. Would i go back? Probably not. read more

Superb food and great service.. do try their sausages. Worth going on any crazy/lazy day.

The taco restaurant is hidden behind a patisserie and might be a little bit hard to spot. The only reason I come here sometimes is for their 1$ tacos but I've stopped even for that. The tacos are not the best since they are small, have little substance to them and are not the best quality. If you need a quick and cheap bite, come here on a Tuesday. Apart from that I wouldn't bother coming. read more

Closer than we had thought, my boyfriend and I had difficulty finding the place: what used to be Don Taco was now a currency exchange. Looking around, we noticed the adjacent dessert restaurant had displayed the Don Taco menu on its window and that's when we realized they must have been conjoined? Confused, we looked at the menu: it seems promising. And it was a Tuesday, so there was a deal on tacos ($1 tacos). We went in. The place didn't feel at all like a Mexican restaurant since, after all, it was in a dessert shop. We felt a little out of place when we sat down, with the bright pink juxtaposing the black and white furniture. The couches and chairs were comfortable, though. I ordered 4 tacos, which were their generic taco formula of ground beef, potatoes, lettuce, and cheese. My boyfriend had one taco and a picadillo burrito. The food was served promptly and warmly, fresh and promising. The tacos looked like tacos, and the burrito was wrapped in tin foil. I took a bite out of my taco and received mixed feelings: while the shell was weak in its rigidity and almost wet (lacking adequate crunch and satisfaction), the taco filling was delicious. The ground beef had the right amount of flavor that was balanced by the lettuce and cheese. The potatoes added an additional surprise and savoriness to the overall taco, making up for the taco shell. My boyfriend's picadillo burrito though was absolutely scrumptious. If we go back, I'm definitely getting one of their burritos. read more
