Tacos Victor

Authentic Mexican Street Food Just Minutes from the Action

If you're craving bold flavors and a casual bite before a big night out, Tacos Victor delivers. This laid-back taqueria in Montréal’s Saint-Henri neighborhood is known for its authentic Mexican street-style tacos—with a twist. Housed in a cozy, no-frills space, it’s just a short ride from many of the city's top concert venues, making it a favorite for foodies and music fans alike.

The star of the menu? The grilled flank steak taco topped with a crispy potato wedge—a house specialty that keeps locals coming back. You’ll also find vegetarian options, house-made salsas, and generous portions, all served up fast and affordably.

Why Concert-goers love it

Tacos Victor is a quick and reliable stop for a pre-show meal. With speedy service and a casual counter-order setup, you can be in and out in under 30 minutes. Its close proximity to major music venues makes it easy to squeeze in a delicious bite without missing the opening act. And since it’s a smaller spot, it’s usually not too loud, making it perfect for conversation before the show.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to fuel up on flavorful tacos before a night out
• Solo travelers grabbing a quick bite before heading to the venue
• Couples wanting a casual and tasty start to their concert date
• Fans who want a fun, relaxed space to soak in pre-show energy
• Budget-conscious diners who don’t want to skimp on flavor

What People Say

According to fans on TripAdvisor and OpenTable, the tacos are “packed with flavor,” and the potato-topped version is a “must-try.” Visitors rave about the “friendly and fast service” and love that it’s a “great value for the portion size.” Many note it’s a “perfect quick stop before a show.”

Areas for Improvement

Because of its popularity, seating can be limited during peak hours—especially on weekends. It’s more of a quick eatery than a sit-down experience, so if you’re looking for a long, relaxed dinner, this might not be the spot. Also, some reviewers mention that parking in the area can be tricky, so public transport or a short walk may be your best bet.

The Bottom Line

Tacos Victor is a go-to pre-show stop for concert-goers craving fast, affordable, and flavor-packed Mexican bites just minutes from the music.
