Placos Tacos Mexican Food & Bar

This place has the best tacos in town. I had the California shrimp taco and the Birria taco and they both tasted amazing. Service was a bit slow but it's understandable because they happened to be short staffed. It did not bother me because the server was very kind, polite and attentive unlike what we see these days in Toronto. Will definitely come back !

I recently celebrated my birthday at this restaurant, and everything was absolutely perfect! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the owners and staff were amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure the celebration was special. Their attention to detail and hospitality truly made the night memorable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this place for any special occasion or just a great meal!

Came here during happy hour and definitely left feeling happy. Food was delicious (especially the nachos), service was super friendly, and the outdoor patio was a nice vibe. The server mentioned live music on weekends so definitely need to come back then!

Best tacos I've ever had!! The birria and the cochinita were our favorites. The Tamarind margarita was amazing too. Definitely coming back!

Best Mexican food I've had in Toronto by far. Margaritas are top notch. Mezcalitas are top notch. Tacos are top notch. Nachos are top notch. Need I say more? Annie and the chef Maurizio are making a great product here. Really a hidden Toronto Gem.

Stumbled upon this place one Sunday afternoon and came back for dinner! Excellent food! Would highly recommend the chicken tacos and guacamole. The service was great! Checked in on us a couple times and made sure we were comfortable while sitting outside (it was a bit of a cooler night). This is a hidden gem! Can’t wait to go back

Placo's Tacos, located in Kensington Market on Kensington, is such a delightful experience! We went during the Easter Long Weekend with lower foot traffic around 1 pm and it was not busy at all. Very nice staff and a cozy space to dine at. Definitely would come back and try more on the menu; they even offer breakfast! From the menu, we ordered tacos for lunch. The Birra (Beef) taco was well-seasoned and moist, while the Cochinita Pibil (Pork with avocado) was a standout with its delicious flavour. The California Shrimp taco was generously filled with cheese and shrimp, and the Fried Fish Taco was crispy and delectable. The Mojitos were well made and added to the meal. The double-layer corn tortilla shells effectively held the ingredients together. The restaurant provides seating for 22 guests, including 5 bar seats and a back patio. The bathroom is located in the back. The vibe was enhanced by the vibrant soundtrack featuring Marc Anthony and Salsa music. The service was great, as the staff efficiently took orders using portable devices and promptly served the tacos. They accept credit cards! Note, the latest return had fish tacos that were tasty but not resembling the same as we initially went. It wasn't in a crispy batter but almost like pan fried instead.
