Loved dining at Seve Lives Tacos. The atmosphere is very cheerful and inviting. We were greeted immediately by the edgy lady at the counter. We got the mushroom and cactus 🌵 tacos since we had never had one before. It was served within 5-10 minutes. Warm taco with a condiments bar and sauces to choose from. That's the first I have seen. The lady suggested some of the popular hot 🔥 and flavourful toppings. The taco was bursting with flavors. The soft shell taco was so loaded that it was falling apart. Enjoyed every bit of it. Would love to visit again. Would recommend 10/10.

Seven Lives Tacos is the perfect spot for a casual and fun hangout with friends, especially if you’re in the mood to try something new. I had tacos for the first time here, and they were pretty great! Each taco was packed with bold, fresh flavors, and the variety on the menu ensured there was something for everyone. The fillings were delicious and well-seasoned, and the tortillas were fresh, bringing the whole experience together. For someone new to tacos, this place definitely set a high standard! What makes Seven Lives Tacos even better is its cool and laid-back atmosphere. It’s a great spot for friends to hang out and enjoy good food without worrying about being formal or fancy. The vibe is unpretentious, with a lively energy that adds to the fun. However, one thing to note is the lack of chairs or proper seating—it’s more of a stand-and-eat type of spot. While this might not suit everyone, it works if you’re there for a quick bite and don’t mind standing around with your friends. Overall, Seven Lives Tacos offers a flavorful introduction to tacos, a relaxed atmosphere, and a unique experience for groups of friends who prioritize good vibes over seating.

The tacos here are one of the best. The taste is amazing however the prices are hefty. You can get bottled coke here straight from Mexico. Unfortunately, there are no halal options here.

Absolutely love this spot for Tacos! Their salsa is quite hot so be careful with the serving! 🤣 I LOVE their shrimp taco - comes packed with flavours and tastes delicious. The baja fish taco is also a pretty good one with a good amount of basa fish in it. Overall love this place and would highly recommend it.

Heard about this place from a friend so we thought to try it out! They did NOT disappoint!!! I should mention that they are cash only but there's an atm and also the option to order on Uber for pickup. We tried the the fish, shrimp, mushroom and cactus, and chicken tacos. They were all delicious, each packed with so much flavour. Would definitely come back when I'm back in Toronto!! Plus there are a bunch of stores nearby to walk around, so the area is great too.

Nice place for a quick bite to eat. I’ve tried most of the tacos and you can’t go wrong with any of them. The baja fish taco is huge and you can definitely get full off one. I’d recommend the shrimp and octopus ones. I wish the horchata had more of a cinnamon flavour since it felt watered down. Sometimes there isn’t that many seats available, but not the hugest deal.

Kensington is full of hot spots for foodies and this is probably one of the most iconic. The restaurant does not disappoint when it comes to taste and experience. Food: Get any taco and you will enjoy the burst of creative flavour. I love the balance they try to create in each one so you’re not overwhelmed in any way. Surprisingly the cactus taco ended up being my favourite. Atmosphere: It goes without saying but foot traffic, seating and parking are gonna be the obstacles for would be guests. Most of the tables are standing tables and they are limited. The space is tight and not group friendly so keep that in mind. Service is fast and they know what they’re doing. Be patient and you’ll get your food in a timely manner.

Nestled in the heart of Kensington Market this is a must visit if you are looking to try a decent taco. There are definitely better ones in the city but this isn’t too shabby for $7. I went with the Chicken Taco and it was pretty decent. But I reckon, the chicken could have been generously seasoned. If you are looking for a sit down place with tables and chairs then this might not be the best place. Having said that, there are plenty tables to wait/stand at and finish your taco ;) Customer service is average so overall I would rate my experience 8/10!
