Best Taco Spots In Montreal
Tacos are tortilla wrapped slices of heaven. Small or large, all tacos are generally regarded to be incredible. Honestly, a bad taco is better than no taco.
You won't find many bad tacos in Montreal, though! And, before you brag about going to L.A. and that the tacos are like, totally, so much better in L.A. — save it! Montreal has some mighty fine Mexican restaurants.
Whoever doesn't love a taco is either lying or has never tried one before. Whatever the case may be, stop lying to yourself and if you haven't eaten a taco, run, don't walk to these restaurants.
