Tacos Victor

Luv this place, luv the people who work here, the concept the food, everything, perfection. I love the extra hot sauce, the torture it brings is delicious!

The tacos at this place are flavourful and the service is friendly. I can see that there are a few people here who are criticizing the price point and portion size but it worked well for me (and trust me when it comes to tacos I start to really identify with the «bet you can’t have just one» mentality). I walked by and got 1 taco for 6 dollars with fries piled on top and it filled me right up on a hot summer day. The salsa is delicious and the menu is sparse because NEWSFLASH it’s much easier and better to concentrate on making small delicious menu than to have a lot of choice but sacrifice quality.
I’ve brought several of my friends since and they have all exclaimed that it is the best taco they’ve ever had in the city. I don’t know if I can say that (because of childhood allegiances — I think I may have a blood oath with another place), but it’s the best one that I’ve had in St Henry and very high on the list!

Good price. Great vegetarian options.
Welcoming staff.

1^st round:
«Donald Trump Taco» lots of tongue with no brain… (see round 3)
«Bavette» (Arrachera)= 90% a touch on the dry side, but regardless, full of flavor;
«Contre-​Filet» (Bistec)= 95% really
C really good.
Round 2:
«Longaniza» (agárrame confianza!) solid 95%, specially with the fries wall centred with coriander, onion and double tortilla!
Round 3:
The infamous «DT (tongue) Taco”= 100%. Truly amazing prep, just for connoseurs!
Friendly staff, nice urban deco, stand up concept, just like in Mexico!
All in all, an dream addition to the taco offering on the island. Made rememberu the «Chupacabras Taco Stand», that good! ;o)

As I discover my hood I learn more and about how awesome it is to stumbled, almost accidentally, into an area that is do ripe with culinary options.
It stopped in some hungry afternoon with the lowest of expectations and walked… No, nay… I had to be dragged out, because I would’ve ordered everything on the menu again to assure that I wasn’t dreaming how Greer everything was.
What did I order? I started with the tongue and shrimp tacos and only stopped once I’d tried everything!

Went here with my family upon a recommendation from a friend (who had yet to suggest a bad spot to me). It was really busy but we were served promptly. We tried 5 of the 6 soft shell tacos on the menu, and liked all of them. The 3 salsa options of varying intensity were good.
After 5 tacos among the three of us we were pleasantly full, with no room for dessert… Definitely would go back…

Tacos Victor isn’t the best. They put French fries in their tacos and that’s just whack. They’ve got a dearth of vegetarian selection. The French fry/​bland Métro market Saputo plastic mozzarella/​mushroom taco is unpleasantly stodgy. People of the world ! hear me with your heart of hearts when I say to you that, I, your friendly neighbourhood Spider-​Man doth love and respect the French fry as well as the taco … but never, ever, should the twain meet. French fry is French fry and taco is taco and never shall the twain meet again in my mouth ever; fo’ ‘eva’eva. The horchata was also meh. It was rather sweet and tasteless. I want more rice and more true cinnamon in my horchata. Anyway I’m going to hightail it on over to Taco Tijuana on Ouest Sherbs and Royal where the tacos are double the size and half the price! I gots to get my taco on full frontal.

Location: On Notre-​Dame West. Street parking is available — I don’t recall seeing meters, but I wasn’t paying attention. The closest subway is probably St. Henri and you’d have to walk from there.
The place: It’s tiny and meant to be more of a take-​out joint then a sit-​down place. They do have bar-​type seating at the front with about 4 chairs. The two other counters don’t have any seating so you’d have to stand. There’s one tall chair and I was lucky enough to snag it because I’m quick like that.
The goods: I stopped in for a quick lunch and went with the shrimp taco. The shrimp were perfectly grilled and flavourful, served on two soft taco shells with fries on top (!). Cucumber, radish and cilantro were served on the side. I enjoyed the taco, and one was enough for me. The fries were great too! Now, pay attention when you go or you’ll do like I did — totally miss the salsa and guacamole that’s located right next to you when you pick up your order. Literally. It was RIGHT there.
Service: Friendly.
Price point: To me, $ 6 for a taco is expensive. Back in Vancouver, you’ll pay about $ 3 for the same size but there’s more variety in terms filling. That said, this place is a great place to stop in for a snack.

Hands down the best tacos in Mtl! Finally, a restaurant that makes real Mexican tacos. Friendly, happy staff who are proud of their food

Delicious tacos! I was really pleased with the fries in the tacos. So yummy!

This place became a favourite. Sure the choice is limited, but we can’t get enough of Victor’s tasty tacos.
For 6 $ you get a taco with fries. Everything was tasty (sauces included)! I eat a lot and two tacos are a lot for me.
Plus the owner and staff are super friendly with us.

Everything was fresh, service was fast and great atmosphere. Also the doubled tortilla is the best idea ever to prevent them for breaking apart.
Will go back ASAP.

Tacos Victor, in concept, is a really great idea, and for all intents and purposes should be a really great place. They keep it simple, focusing just on tacos with a few drinks, with awesome choices for cuts of meat (e.g. beef tongue, sirloin, and flap steak) and other proteins, but in the execution of everything together, the taco at the end of the day fell a little bit flat for me, especially for $ 6 CAD/​portion.
Ironically though, I have no complaints about the meat! I had the beef tongue taco when I stopped by and they gave me a decent-​sized portion that was soft, tender, and still juicy as if it just came out of a long-​braise or pressure cooker. If I’m remembering it correctly, they also sprinkled some coarse sea salt on the top of it as well which really made the flavor of the meat come alive. The problem unfortunately was on the bottom AND the top of the taco. For some reason completely unknown to me, they put thinly-​cut soggy fries on top of the meat, and then below, they layered it with TWO not-​at-​all-​toasted corn tortillas. Now two corn tortillas is not totally uncommon based on a few encounters I’ve had here and there, but for me it almost completely ruined the dining experience.
There’s nothing worse than biting into far too much bread when trying to enjoy a protein. Whether you’re having a burger, a lobster roll, or even a taco, too many carbs surrounding the goodness within will downpour rain all over your day anyday. As much as I was trying to enjoy the lime, salsa, and salted tongue, all of the flavors kept on being torn away by this awful chewy double-​tortilla with soggy potatoes on top. I eventually just removed the awful breadiness myself to try and enjoy the meat more, but at that point it was already too late.
If they just served the meat on a crisp tortilla with your standard taco accompaniments, I feel like they would be far more successful. Unfortunately as it stands today, the entire dining experience is weighed down by an egregious amount of dough. If you do happen to stop by, please keep this in mind and maybe ask them to add more «customization» to your order to get a really fine product, because at the very minimum, the meat they cook is very good.

Good tacos, a little dry, only very spicy salsas. Two tacos make a meal, one is not enough. That’s $ 12 which is reasonable. Good drinks, but the portion was small. I don’t totally understand the fries on the tacos, but hey, free fries! I’ll be back, but I think I’d order the shrimp or the chorizo which were more moist than the beef. I’d love a truly mild salsa or the option of guacamole! The value is good which is why I’ll be back.

Meh. The tacos are too expensive, and I don’t understand the french fries served on them.
I would have to disagree with the previous review, one taco doesn’t make a meal.
I had their Tamarind drink as well. It was very underwhelming.
Sorry but $ 6.00 for a taco is ridiculous.

A super fresh, tasty, filling and cheap taco for lunch time! I love this place. 6 $ for a beef bavette taco (one is enough for lunch time) that is filled with cheese and topped with some delicious fries! All the meat choices on the menu (short menu) are marinated there. The salsas are homemade as well. I will go back, soon and often!

Sans être un expert des tacos, je sais reconnaître la nourriture savoureuse lorsqu’elle me tombe dessus. Tout est frais, les frites dans les tacos (tradition très locale à ce que le proprio me dit) ajoute un moelleux que je né retirerais pour rien au monde. La viande est marinée et cuite sur place, tout est frais chez Victor et c’est vraiment très goûteux. J’y suis allé deux fois et, si vous acceptez de manger debout, accoudés au comptoir, vous serez heureux! Vous ai-​je dis que Victor, s’il n’est pas derrière les fourneaux, il est ultra sympathique!!!

Meh. Almost walked out wen i saw the prices… 6 $/​taco are you kidding me? They are bigger than average and stacked with french fries (??) i guess. Meat (i had bavette and shrimp) didnt taste like much, french fries kinda ruin it. Horchata was a flop as well; tiny plastic glass and very watered down. Not going back…

This place just opened up and decided to drop by and wow! Will definitely go back. Just great tacos.

Delicious and authentic! $ 6 seems like a lot for a taco, but they are big. Great flavours, excellent salsa, this is worth a try.
