Very dry and flavourless chicken quesadilla.I did not receive pico de gallo or sour cream as shown in the photo and description, so I had to go back to the restaurant to grab it. Overwhelmingly greasy pork tacos. The price-value ratio was not there either. I would be more than willing to pay that much if the food tasted good, but it totally missed the mark. Unfortunately will not be going back, despite the convenient location.

We really enjoyed our visit to this cute intimate taco spot in the city. We parked on one of the side streets and walked over the night of the Christian Nodal concert in Toronto. We were warmly greeted and the food was delicious and served nice and hot! Sometimes food is served like warm, but I told my husband, I love how hot the food was served because it tastes fresh. Good for a quick stop and a snack. Beautiful décor!!

Take your tacos to-go. The bar next door should let you use their picnic tables if you buy a beer. A win-win proposition.

You definitely need to give an opportunity to this place. Very small and not dinning area, but definitely worth it. This is an authentic Mexican restaurant. I ordered one barbacoa and one cochinita. The portion of the tacos is huge, I was full after just two tacos, and the quality of the meat and cheese was incredible. The salsas were delicious, they ask us how spicy we want them and put the sauce on the tacos for us, honestly I would prefer to have access to the salsas so I can pick, but still they were great. I would also suggest to add more drinks to the menu, they only have pops. I talked to the owner, is a very nice person and he said he does almost everything alone, we need to support more this small business.

Had to order another Birria because it was so good (like melt-in-your-mouth good)! Did a whole birria dance afterwards :) The guy saw how much we liked our tacos so he gave us a free tres-leches which was INSANELY delicious. If you’re not chugging your consommé afterwards, you’re doing it wrong. very chuggable consommé <3

Absolutely delicious tacos. We ordered chicken, chorizo and bierra and were blown away by how amazing they tasted. Portion sizes are great. Server was very sweet and welcoming. I'm still thinking about it. Will 100% return and recommend to friends and family.

Never ate tacos so fast in my life. These are the best in Toronto. Every ingredient was so fresh, and tacos were actually served hot, you can see the steam in the pictures even still when I got to the third taco. Definitely get extra salsa verde on the side, the best ever, soo smoky. They’re real tacos, not the ones with the cabbage toppings..

Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Everything we ate was fantastic. Birria taco & consomme is quite addictive, be warned. We also tried the jackfruit al pastor, which was super flavourful and delicious. All their salsas are 10/10. Prices also very reasonable. This was our third visit since this place opened, and I’m sure there will be many more.
