The staff here is spectacular. Able to accommodate a group of 10 with 30 minutes to close. We already knew what we wanted and the food came out very quick and fresh and delicious. We all got the birria plates and it comes with all the stuff to make your taco. I loved everything. It was so flavourful. The cheese crust was a great. I can't recommend this place enough for good food! But do not visit with a large group right before closing! The restaurant isn't very big so it's best to reserve. read more

The food was terrific, I'd definitely want to try the shrimp taco next time. The guac and chip is a must get, the guac is so fresh. The fish taco was less crunchy than I would have liked. The service was quick and great. We also had a guava (jarito) drink and it complemented our dish pretty well. The ambiance was a nice environment to talk and enjoy our food together. read more

Amazing place, loved it here. I got the carnitas and it was spectacular. Service was very quick and a great casual dinner place.

Super friendly staff, authentic delicious tacos and lovely atmosphere! We had a great time tonight. The Latin music was awesome and fun. The staff were all very friendly and sweet. We tried the pork, beef and chicken tacos and loved every single bite! Authentic, flavorful and perfect. 10/10 Will be back soon to try other menu items. Check this place out! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Great place for Mexican food, including a nice selection of vegetarian items that you normally won't get at other restaurants (cactus.) I was happy with the prices. Service was average but friendly and there were some mistakes that were made such as lack of napkins, silverware, etc. I don't sweat the small stuff but if it's very important to you now you know. Delicious guac here people. Portion sizes were on the large side, prices were not as stated. Street parking only and you may have a tough time finding a space. Very calm and laid back with a very nice and festive design inside. Recommended! read more

Imagine your friend invites you over and food and their mom prepares it all. That is what I felt eating the Carnitas Plat du Jour. Portion size was perfect for one person, with right balance of Carne, Rice, Salad, Guac and refried Beans. They take reservations too, just dont go with an army of 10+ people, its not a huge generic chain sized place! read more

Tacos Frida brings me memories of the Mexican dishes I had in Mexico a few years ago, while it didn't have the same ambiance of an average Mexican restaurant, it was calm and I liked the papel picado ( paper decorations ) even though they were made with plastic. The thing I liked the most was that they not just sold you food, you can buy Mexican ingredients / appetites to make either your own homemade Mexican dish or just use Mexican cooking aspects to your own dish. Props to the people who serve the meals for knowing Spanish and for their fresh meal. read more

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. read more

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! read more

If this is your first time trying them make sure you get a taste of the different flavours they have to offer. Cecina, Cochinita and Fajitas are a must for me. The order will include limes, green salsa, refried beans and some delicious Pico de Gallo. I would say get some tequila and a good recipe for margaritas and you are set up for a good fiesta. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Solid 4. The service was pretty quick. The carne asada was good; steak was a little bit dry but otherwise good tacos. El pastor tacos were really good; typically vegetarian options are too dry without flavor but these were really good especially with the green salsa. Carnitas quesadillas were good and pretty economical but a bit too greasy and a little extra cheese would be nice. read more

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. read more

I came here with my partner after seeing that there was a long line outside over a month ago. Thank goodness we were able to just order once we got in. When you come in, you can see authentic Mexican products that are being sold. I was intrigued with their homemade tortilla chips, but someone ended up buying it all! Anyway, we ordered the combo of 3x tacos, guacamole & chips, and Mexican Come. I got the Chorizo Con Papas and let me tell you: it was super tasty! The guac was also super fresh along with the chips. Everything was perfection! Highly recommend this place! read more

This is a great authentic Mexican taco place that is fast, inexpensive and good quality. Vetted by my girlfriend who is Mexican.

Tacos Frida is in my opinion one of the best tacos restaurant in Montreal. I have a few favorites, their fish taco and the conchinita, but honestly all are good. Prices are fair, tacos are delicious (I eat about 6 as a big man) and the service is great. Something else that's great about Frida: family packs for take out during covid. It's about 40$ for 15 tacos. An excellent value! read more

This small informal venue in St Henri serves authentic Mexican grub. The smell alone when you walk in will make you want it all! I ordered the cactus tacos and washed them down with a mandarin jarritos soda. The filling of those tacos was delicious; perfectly cooked and flavoured, these tacos were the real deal! At 2.50 each, you just can't beat it! The service was extremely friendly and attentive. The informal setting, with forks and napkins from a bucket, and the minimally decorated, simple table and chair setting, makes for a real fri badly neighbourhood restaurant. You can always grab goods to go as they also offer a mini grocery where you can pick up everything from Mexican candy to canned cactus. The homemade guacamole seems to be a big hit with several walk-ins asking for a container to go! read more

When i went to frida, i took 3 tacos chorizo con papas and one quesadilla. It was really good! However, I wished there would be more filling in the tacos. I also took the sopa de tortilla (soup of tortillas) and it was so good! The avocado and the fried tortilla made it so delicious! read more

Don't confuse yourself with the Frida on Atwater. It's two different restaurants. I've been told that this one was opened before the other one. Here, tacos shines. The menu is sweet and short. Nothing too complicated but oh so so good! They also serve breakfast until 3 pm and their guacamole is lovely! The service is super friendly and fast. I really love their green salsa. I even bought some home. A small container (250ml) will set you back 3$ lol An order of tortilla soup, guacamole and four tacos will cost about 24$ taxes included. Pretty good prices if you ask me. Will be coming back for sure! read more

Small, homey restaurant with Frida paintings everywhere, what's not to like? Guacamole is amazing, with a lot of tomatoes and onions and cilantro. The side of guac and chips seemed a bit pricey at first but I had enough guac leftover from it to put it on my 3 tacos. Tacos were great, tortillas were warm and even slightly crispy. At $2.75 per taco, they were amazing. I had the carnitas, pastor, and the fish taco while my coworker had the carnitas, chicken and fish. We both agreed the fish was a little overdone but the rest were excellent. Her fave was the chicken and mine was the carnitas. Quick service and a comfortable, casual eatery! read more

Each one was simple yet so packed with flavour and only 2.50$ each ! the staff was very friendly and checked on me regularly. I really enjoyed this place it has such a friendly neighbourhood vibe and really great food and great prices ! I can't wait to come back and try more of their food .

One of my faves :) simple but wonderful authentic tacos, some very tasty cocktails and they even have breakfast (check the time schedule though) I go here easily 3 times a month. They also have some fun Mexican snacks and candy for sale by the cash. Awesome friendly staff, nice art on the walls. Short walk from St-Henri metro. **Be aware they're closed on Tuesday's Highly recommended! read more

Let's get this straight: Mexican tacos are typically soft, not crispy like what you'd get at our neighbor's Taco Bell. I enjoyed my first visit to this cute restaurant. My order was a takeout. The staff was friendly and service was fast (it was outside of busy hours). I ordered the mushrooms, cactus and pulled pork tacos. I liked all three. The cactus one was pretty spicy but I like spicy food. The wrap was soft and the filling was ample and tasty. They give you two sauces on the side. There is really nothing to complain about. It's honest and unpretentious food -- a healthy fairly-priced meal. Compared to all the fancy taco joints popping up here and there in Montreal, this modest but warn and cozy restaurant is a welcome difference. read more

I came here with a couple of friends to try some of that good ol' Mexican food and I have to say this caused me mixed feelings. Tacos Frida, you think this place will be guaranteed. Not so fast. Pretty décor, quick and efficient staff, and they are moved with extreme politeness. We were off to a good start. Later, the Michelada and the Margaritas were prepared with love. Hands down, the best ones I've tried in Montreal. So, you can imagine we were smiling, giggling and enthusiastic. We ordered the Chilaquiles and the Plate of the Day (with carnitas). If those chilaquiles had a feeling they would've been heartbroken. The plate devoid any texture, flavor and spirit. Those chilaquiles are going to be easily forgotten. The Plate of the Day was ok, but it was uninspiring. The carnitas were also lacking something, like flavor. I had some pastor tacos, and those were by far the most depressing tacos I had in Montreal. They were as melancholic as Frida's "Two Frida's" painting. Pretty different from what I perceived with the energetic staff and their prodigious drinks. Maybe I was here on a bad day. Who knows? By the end you have to make a line in the middle of the tables in order to pay. I think they should solve this issue because standing there while dogging waiters and costumers, and almost leaning over someone else's table can be troublesome. I came here expecting good Mexican food, some of that real experience but it all ended in a silent "meh" and an ordinary food coma. read more

We were excited to come to tryout Tacos Frida this little place had a nice rustic feel to it and a small menu which is always good. Staff was very friendly and service was pretty quick, but unfortunately, the food was a bit disappointing. We ordered a plate of nachos to share and it was still full when we were done, as they were very bland. We tried the pastor tacos and they were very plain, the meat was kinda dry, overall it was a pretty depressing taco. My nephew whos a huge taco fan took one bite and did not eat the rest. The churros for dessert were great though. Overall the food quality needs some improvement as all the dishes were pretty bland, there are many better taco places in the city. read more

Tacos Frida is one of out favorite authentic Mexican restaurants on the west side of Montreal. The menu is limited but everything we've tried has been great. We usually have the soup & tacos special with a quesadilla side order. The people who run the place are friendly and the service is quick. FYI - they don't have an alcohol license- so as long as you know this in advance, you will have a super enjoyable Mexican meal for a very reasonable price. read more

The best taco place I have found in 15 years living in Montreal! Enough said. You will find REAL everyday mexican tacos, what are known in Mexico City as 'tacos de guisados', my favorites: tinga and nopalitos. Plus they have traditional mexican breakfast items as chilaquiles. Always a very good option and not expensive at all. Congrats to the team! From a Chilango. read more

I had the mushroom tacos They're vegan and GF! No cheese, no need to substitute or explain away your needs. The tortilla de maiz was clearly fresh made, as were the sautéed mushrooms and pico. Also they're just $2.50! Five stars! I'll be back soon read more

I don't go to Saint Henri often, but when I do, I make an effort to try some of the new restaurants that are on the Notre Dame strip. Upon my little sister's reccomendation, I've decided to give it a try. Good: Very inexpensive tacos at $2.50, that's for sure. We ordered a special on the menu (3x tacos plus a soup). Since I don't eat meat, I've opt for the mushroom tacos and the cactus tacos and my sister picked the beef one. I enjoyed the mushroom one the most and that was kind of it. Bad: The nacho soup was strange...it just looks like a cup of oily broth/sauce that just did nothing for my appetite. It tasted as strange as it looked. I just ate the nacho plain. The cactus taco was too soft for my liking (I've had it once at 7 Lives in Toronto, so I thought it was be similar but I was a bit disappointed). Bottom line: There are better taco places in Montreal like La Capital. If I am feeling stingy, I might come back here but it is not my first go-to. read more

Wanted to go to the tacos place next door but it was fully pacted. Turns out there was another tacos store next door! Cheap and amazing tacos! The staffs are great, very fast service and the place is spacious! They also have a little corner where they sell some Mexican groceries (sauce, pitas etc) Its 2.75$/tacos and honestly eating 3-4 of them is more than enough for me. If you go there, dont forget to try their guacamole as an entree! Its tasty! As for my favorite tacos, its the Pastor, which is 3.25$ instead, its pork and grilled pineapple! Amazingggg! read more

Very good simple Mexican breakfasts. Huevos rancheros and divorciados were very good and unpretentious. Tasty spicy sauce to with it.

I ate at their location at 1477 Rue Sainte-Catherine Est (Le Village). The menu is simple, and the flavours are complex and wonderful. I had two types of quesadillas: Cecina (smoked and grilled Oaxacan beef) and Tinga (chicken slow-cooked with tomatoes, chipotle, and onions). Both had wonderful and well-developed flavors with a mild level of heat (sauces are on the table for those who like hotter food). I also had home made guacamole, which had lots of fresh ingredients (cilantro, red onions, and diced tomatoes). My meal was delicious, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is very casual. Tacos Frida is a great place for any meal of the day and especially on a warm summer day. read more
