Montreal's taco scene is a newer arrival compared to the city's established food traditions, but it has grown fast. A wave of Mexican and Latin American immigrants has brought authentic regional styles that go well beyond the Tex-Mex most North Americans know. The best spots use fresh corn tortillas made in-house, real salsas, and fillings like al pastor, carnitas, and lengua. The Plateau and Verdun have emerged as the main taco corridors.
