    Birria Tacos

    We got the birria tacos and the carnitas tacos, they were authentic and delicious. Best Mexican food I have found in Montreal. The atmosphere was fun and inviting. On top of the great atmosphere and food, the service was better! Very friendly and quick service. 10/10 would recommend.

    Guacamole and Tortilla Chips
    Shahanaz B.

    In the heart of Saint Henri , a colorful Mexican restaurant offers a simple menu with delicious food. The restaurant has colorful walls; at the cash few paintings of Frida, the famous Mexican artist. The big wall has the wall paint of a Lucha Libre wrestler. The cash counter looks like a mini depanneur, where you can buy various drinks, candies, chocolates, cans and jars of food. Of course, the restaurant doesn't have the vibe of being a restaurant only; it has a busy feeling with the line up at the cash and running restaurant service. The service is good and super quick. I tasted the most delicious guacamole after long long time with great tortilla chips. Got some Mexican drink Jarritos, flavors of guava and sangria. Delicious! For the main dish I had mushrooms/peppers quesadilla. By itself, the taste is bland but with jalapeños sauce, it got excellent kick. My sister enjoyed her tinga (chicken) tacos. In the end, I have to go to the counter to make the payments. Recommended!

    We think that little by little we'll be able to solve our problems and survive... On tacos alone. These delicious, well-seasoned tacos come in good filling portions with a hot sauce that does not disappoint a spice lover and creates an explosion of flavour in your mouth - very authentic with a homemade feel to them. The leaving was joyful ; but we hope to always return.

    I came here on Valentine's Day because I wasn't interested in the expensive set menus that seemed to have taken over at every fancy restaurant. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a friendly waiter and immediately felt a good vibe being there. We started with the small guacamole which was delish. The portion was perfect for a starter. Next time I will ask for it without cilantro though because I found it a bit overpowering. We ordered a variety of tacos (tinga, beef, pastor, cochinita) and also tried a quesadilla. At least for the quesadilla, they don't make their own tortillas so I subtracted a few points for that. We liked everything we tried. I especially liked the sauces in the side. They were spicy but had great flavour beyond just heat. The few downsides was that they didn't have any churros left when we tried to order dessert. They also didn't refill our waters. Overall, prices are good, food tasty and service friendly. Their brunch looks awesome also. Looking forward to coming back and trying it!

    We were meeting up with M for dinner and let her choose the spot: Mexican! She picked Tacos Frida, which I've never been to. It's close by to two other Mexican places (Victor Tacos and Le Tequila Bar) so lots of nearby competition. We dropped in on an early Wednesday evening (around 6:15pm). The place wasn't too busy but by 7:00pm, it was packed. The inside is cutely decorated and even has a mini grocery aisle for you to buy some Mexican goodies (chips, tortillas, candies, etc.). The menu is limited but that's good. Starters, tacos & quesadillas, specials, breakfast/brunch (only till 3:00pm), traditional, dessert and drinks. They also have a taco combo and plate of the day combo that seemed the best bang for your buck. Tacos themselves are reasonable ($2.75 to $3.50 per taco). Service was very friendly, patient and genuine. They were on the ball while things were slow but once it got busy, it was hard to get any drinks refilled. Go up to the counter to pay when you're done. - Paloma ($10.00) - M's cocktail made from tequila and grapefruit soda with salt around the rim. - Sauces - they bring over two containers (roja and verde) of sauces. Both were tasty. Red sauce had a slight more heat to it. - Promo FRIDA! ($10.89) - M went with two mushroom and one cochinita taco. She said the cochinita was decent (but a tad dry). Her preference was the mushroom tacos. - Promo FRIDA! ($10.89) - the taco combo comes with a small tortilla soup which had bits of avocado and sour cream. Good but a tad salty. We opted for the carnitas, chorizo and nopales tacos. First time trying grilled cactus; not too shabby. The chorizo was tender and flavourful. Carnitas were tasty but a bit dry. - Plate of the day ($12.00) - you choose your meat (cochinita) with tortillas, salad, black beans, rice and guacamole. Good presentation but again, the pork was dry. Guacamole was fantastic along with the salad. Unfortunately, the black beans were incredibly salty. Blah. Decent Mexican food but I need to try the other taco spots in St. Henri to compare.

    I've been meaning to come here a bunch of times because, well...you can't go wrong with cheap eats :D So after a day out with friends we wanted to grab a quick and cheap bite to eat before heading home. The menu is simple to order from and if you're a bit more hungry, definitely go with the soup and 3 taco combo. The soup is so satisfying, flavorful even though it's thin. Their guacamole has a bunch of ingredients in it. Not bad but sometimes I like my guac a little simpler. To really get the authentic taco experience you must try the pastor tacos. It's deliciously grilled and topped with fresh cilantro and onions. Runner up would be the fish taco. I found the tinga ok and cochinita tacos to be a bit too oily.

    El Flaco - Smoked Grilled Beef Oaxacan style w/ guacamole and cheese
    Rojarra T.

    By far, Tacos Frida has the tastiest, most authentic tacos that I've tasted outside of Mexico. For the longest time, two of my colleagues sang this restaurant's praises. They kept pushing me to try it, and finally I did. Hands down, it's now my favourite taco spot in the city! If you're expecting a fine dining experience with all the bells and whistles - this isn't the place for you. However, if you're looking for an authentic mom and pop experience, with warm and friendly staff, this is it. Between myself and the other guest in my party, we tried nearly everything on the menu. Though everything was tasty, my absolute favourite was the El Flaco, Smoked Grilled Beef Oaxacan style w/ guacamole and cheese. The beef was tender and bursting with flavour, and the guacamole was some of the best that I've ever had. This dish was definitely a flavour explosion - in the best possible way, of course! Also, you must try the Hibiscus Margherita - trust me. Oh, and the price is unmatched and unbeatable. There were 4 of us. We ate until we couldn't eat anymore, and two of us had cocktails. Including tax and tip, the total bill was well under $100.

    Got some of their food from ubereats. The fish and el pastor tacos were great. The cactus and the mushroom tacos were also not bad. The nachos was perfectly crunchy and the guacamole on it was very creamy and flavorful.

The steak tacos were pretty good but some of the steak was pretty tough. The chicken tacos were great and probably the best seasoned of the three. The pork tacos were good and the pineapple offered a good contrast. They gave a large bowl of guacamole on the side which was really good and made all the tacos a lot better. They also put fries on top of the tacos, which was a fun addition but ultimately made all the tacos taste too similar. Usually different taco flavours have red onion or cabbage or diced tomatoes as a garnish, but in this case they were just topped with fries so there wasn't enough flavour distinction and all the tacos taste the same after a while. Despite that, you really can't beat the value offered by the taco box so we would certainly be tempted to buy it again when we're craving tacos.

The server saw we didn't eat them and did not even bother to ask why or show any concern when she took the uneaten plate away and brought the bill. Sangria was equally bad. Way too sweet, probably from soda being added. This review really deserves one star, but the salsa selection was good, so I'll throw a star in for that. This meal was so bad we actually went to another Mexican restaurant to try and erase the experience. See my review of Lakalaka located on the other end of St Denis. It is worth the trip compared to what you will get here.

You have a choice of 5 different tacos for the AYCE menu ( carnitas, steak, pastor, chorizo, and veggie). My favourites were the steak, carnitas, and pastor. You get two sauces on the side and every taco is garnished with onions and coriander with a lime wedge for each taco you order. They are so good and bite sized, my friends and I had 13-15 tacos each and we were so full by the end but so content. For all you can eat it is a great deal. The service is also very fast which is good because they keep the tacos coming. I've also been during non AYCE days and have tried the burrito (huge and flavourful and filling), and the chips and guac (good!), and the steak quesadilla (one of my favourites! so gooey and cheesy). I recommend also getting the hojicha drink! It's milky and refreshing. You can't go wrong with this place. Everything on the menu is good and staff is really friendly. The space is also very big and there's a good variety of tables and booths. Has lots of decorations on the walls and theme music playing.
