The server was nice Good vibes especially if you love the Toronto Raptors The food was delicious, although I wish I could've dined in bc the sauce was leaking (but the bag protected it at least) and the hot sauce is SPICY! Might come back, Would recommend!

Food was good. Service was okay, we came during an off time and often had to call the staff over after prolonged waits. Staff were very friendly.

My son wanted tacos and we saw this place in the area. We ordered the nachos (pictured), chicken tamales and the barbacoa taco combo. The nachos were just ok - we asked what was on it and the server didn't tell us accurately, there was liquid nacho cheese, and no sour cream. My son loved his chicken tamales, they were big and we had leftovers. The barbacoa tacos were also delicious and had double the filling than I expected. Overall I'd go back!

This is a local gem. The fish taco and pastor taco were both really good. Fish taco was my fav. Hot sauces were good too. And what everyone’s saying about the guacamole is true- it’s top notch.

Came in here on a stroll down Bloor st. The ratings were good but as per usual it fell short. Tacos were good however the drinks were a miss. We also ordered fried fish which was tasty but not as crunchy as I’d like (the one side was very soft and had lost its crunchy texture). The sides were weird… It came with a very under seasoned and hard rice, salad with peppers, mushrooms and arugula on it with a creamy dressing. Not sure what part of Mexico serves a salad like that but I’ve never seen it or had it anywhere else. Just found it to be strange and non authentic. Would have rather some tostones and a simple radish and cucumber salad which is the more common sides to a dish like that but really fell short for me. Definitely had better food else where but if you do come in stick to the tacos only…. I wouldn’t recommend anything else and stay away from the rice and salads. Price does not reflect the quality or taste so for me it was overpriced.

One of my favourite places to eat in the city. Always so filling and so good. The pupusas here are incredible and nowhere else can come anywhere close to how good they are here. I got a birria taco combo and it was so soft and juicy and I could barely finish the dish.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food photos! Shrimp Tostada + Lengua Taco + Carnitas Taco - For a more homemade feeling, these tacos absolutely do not disappoint either. The lengua taco may seem intimidating at first but is definitely worth a try if you like strong beefy flavours. For more textural eater, the tostada combines the crisp corn tortilla with mashed beans, lettuce, onions, sour cream and guac with shrimp.

THIS PLACE IS CRAZY!! The vibe is perfect and the food is amazing. My favourite taco place has changed to here seriously🥹 my recommendations are hard taco with chicken, shrimp taco with tequila shot and lime tequila margarita! They don't have a drink menu, but you can always ask friendly server :)
