Taqueria La Matraca

4607, rue Saint-Denis, Montréal

On our map. We haven't walked through the door yet — here's why it's on the list.

A taqueria on Saint-Denis reaching for the atmosphere of Mexico City's no-nonsense taco counters, with minimal, almost cafeteria seating and an open kitchen.

Tacos with suadero, chuleta and al pastor, marinated pork served with coriander and pineapple, are what get cited most. The house turns up regularly in local best-of lists for the Plateau and for Mexican food in the city.
