Campechano

"If you’re here for anything but tacos, you’ve come to the wrong place. Time flies at this cozy hotspot that sources heirloom corn from Mexico and presses and griddles tortillas every day. The menu is short and sweet, but still, how does one pick between the smoky barbacoa with jalapeño salsa and the flaky, beer-battered haddock with red cabbage? Sautéed mushrooms with double-smoked bacon and chili oil are a sleeper favorite too. The sounds and smells of the kitchen fill the boxy room that’s little more than white kitchen tile and worn wood. Everything arrives fast and hot, and then, in a blink, it’s all over and you’re back outside, plotting your inevitable return. A second location on College Street offers a similar menu in a more spacious setting." - Michelin Inspector

A 3 year in a row Michelin Guide for a reason. Tried their campechano taco, love the crispyness of the chicharron which for me the highlight for this taco. And also had the carnitas tender and flavorfull pork meat. I love how they made their soft taco shell it stays firm not not saggy. Ceviche was the great even if there were lots of onions it doesn’t have the after taste. Quesadilla was satisfying with a good amount of mozzarella cheese. Will definitely come back to try other tacos and the dessert. I suggest on their busy hours, make a reservation to secure your table. Service was great and fast.

This is truly an amazing place to gather, whether you're out with friends or enjoying a date night. For drinks, we started with the Horchata. If you're dining at a Latin restaurant, you gotta try their horchata, and this one didn't disappoint. You could immediately tell it was special because it's made in house, which explains its remarkable freshness. It struck a beautiful balance – not too sweet, absolutely perfect for cooling down on a warm day or complementing a flavorful meal. We also tried the Passionfruit Mezcalita cocktail. Its vibrant, citrusy, and tart profile made it the perfect drink to chase down some amazing tacos. We dove into a selection featuring Birria, Barbacoa, and Chorizo Con Papa tacos. While every option was delicious, the Barbacoa truly stood out. It delivered an incredible depth of taste, packing an amazing punch of flavor that left a lasting impression. Dessert was Tres Leche a stunning cake covered in a strawberry reduction part way submerged with cream, which was a perfect way to end a meal. What really elevates the experience is their commitment to freshness. As it was explained to us, nearly everything, if not everything, is made in house. This dedication is evident in everything from the authentic horchata to the lime juice squeezed by hand for their cocktails and drinks, ensuring high quality across the board. Cost: 98$

The ceviche and horchata were amazing, thanks to those who recommended it. The ceviche was fresh, slightly citrusy, and generous but I did find it quite salty. Unfortunately, their tortilla chips were rock hard; it seemed made in-house but I think they’d do better by revising the thickness. It didn’t work well to support the ceviche, that I found myself eating the ceviche by itself. I ordered two tacos. I enjoyed my pineapple option but the meat was salty and the seasoning was too loud. There wasn’t much depth of flavour to the seasoning and was almost harsh. It’d work much better made less salty and with more dimension, while not overcooking the meat, as it was too dense. My second taco was way too salty, I could not appreciate anything else as it was drowned out by how salty it was. I get the place is busy and they’re rushed to cook quickly but overdoing it with salt only sabotages the overall dish from working well cohesively. I’d prefer to ask for salt and add as needed…! This was a major miss. It wasn’t inedible. **This was a visit based on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list recommendation for Toronto. I’d highly recommend the ceviche, horchata, and low-on-salt taco ;-). **Will it make your world? The horchata and ceviche might! Especially at this price.🍹

Great tacos, but overpriced for what they are. Campechano offers some of the best—if not the best—tacos in Toronto, and probably the closest you’ll get to what you'd find in Mexico. The flavors are bold, the ingredients are fresh and organic, and the tortillas are made in-house, which gives the tacos that authentic edge. My favorite was the **Al Pastor**: juicy, tender, perfectly marinated pork with a jalapeño sauce that ties it all together beautifully. Next up, the **Campechano** taco—great combination of meats, especially the chorizo, though I was hoping for more chicharrón to come through in the mix. Finally, the **Carnitas** taco was solid, with a nicely balanced salsa verde and pork that was cooked just right. As an appetizer, I tried the guacamole and chips. The guac was fresh and unique with a touch of pomegranate—sweet, but it worked well. Still, the portion was on the small side, especially if you’re sharing. Service was quick and attentive, just as you'd expect in a taco spot. The drinks menu had a good selection of Mexican options. Here’s the catch: no taco should cost $10 or more. It’s just too much, and it goes against the very spirit of taco culture—simple, delicious, and accessible. While the quality and taste justify the price in a Toronto context, Mexican taco culture was never meant to be this expensive. Worth trying once if you're in Toronto, especially if you're craving authentic Mexican tacos with high-quality ingredients. On a side note, good or bad critics can be accepted or not. However, respect should be always present, even more when you run a business providing service to public. Unfortunately, the owner of this restaurant does not seem to accept customers’ opinions elegantly and professionally (see reply below). We value the food and culture through our taste buds, not through our pockets.

Best tacos I had in Toronto! We got the Al pastor, barbacoa, pescado and choriqueso and all were great with the barbacoa and al pastor being my favourites. The meat was very well seasoned, the sauces extremely flavourful and the corn tortillas themselves soft and tasty. All the parts of the tacos synergized beautifully to create a great experience in every bite. My only problem with the place is the price of the foods being definitely on the steeper side costing two times more than other taco places, though I feel it is to some capacity justified considering the value you’re getting out of them. Overall I really enjoyed and recommend coming here and trying! The service was also pretty good.

Fantastic tacos. Great variety of unique flavours. $11-13 per taco is a bit much though. They aren't that big and you'll need to eat 2-3 for a meal. Friendly staff. A bit loud but not too loud you can't have a conversation. It gets busy so you may have difficulty getting a table.

Campechano is on Adelaide West in downtown Toronto. They are a Bib Gourmand recommendation by Michelin. The space is very unassuming. A tiny space that's a hole in the wall. I assumed they would be slower but you should definitely try to make a reservation. Simple...wall on one side and bar on the other. The food was amazing. Creative. Good presentation. Wonderful presentation. It's all still very simple in delivery. The service was amazing. I like to let the servers drive and recommend. The server on this might was more than happy to make all the suggestions. 5 x 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮

we tried 4 different tacos: the pescado, pollo al pastor, barbacoa, and choriqueso. all were standout. my favourite was probably the choriqueso with a good amount of cheese and chorizo. the sauce and meat for the barbacoa taco i also thought were extremely good. the squirt grapefruit soda was light, refreshing, and a good compliment to the tacos. it is a little on the pricey side, at around double the prices elsewhere. however, i would still highly recommend coming and ordering any of their tacos, as i think they're all top notch

One of my favorite meals in Toronto. A host of various taco options. Each better than the last. Ended up going with the Tinga de Res. Delectable. I was truly impressed by how amazing the Margarita was. (We had several). If you come here, you'll leave satisfied (and a little inebriated) Staff was equally as awesome. Experts on the menu with great suggestions. Very family kind of vibes here.

Hubby chose this Michelin recommendations for mothers day lunch. We had overall a pleasant experience. The menu is precise and presentation of food is pretty good. On the menu you have 3 starters : we ordered Guac and chips( 15$) came with 2 homemade authentic chips( not store bought) guac and a matcha salsa( delicious), we asked for chips refills and they did it on the house. The chips are outstanding! Mains: they serve tacos! Period! And they have done a decent job for vegans they have and vegetarians - 2 , and a decent variety of non vegetarian tacos. My hubby was pretty satisfied with his ( chicken and fish) . The fillings are generously huge. So honestly 1 is enough for me. For meatless option they can be more creative .

I tried Campechano for the first time this past holiday season for a cousin gathering. The restaurant is on the smaller and cozy size but fit our group of about 15 all in the back area nicely. It was a nice casual restaurant where our large group felt comfortable to chat freely and mingle. I heard that this restaurant is michelin recommended so I was excited to try it for the first time. The menu is quite large for a taco restaurant and had lots of options for any tastes. I had 3 tacos - the Pescado, Carne Con Queso and the campechano. The price is typical downtown pricing but each taco was packed with ingredients. I could have gotten away with eating 2 tacos and be full. We also ordered guac and chips for starters and they provided unlimited chips (which were fresh!). To end the dinner we had the tres leche. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients which we all enjoyed thoroughly. Finally, the service was top notch. Super attentive and very friendly staff. The food was also served one at a time so you could thoroughly enjoy your taco hot before diving into the next one. I can see why they received the Michelin star!

Came for a late lunch on a Friday, and there was no wait at around 2 PM. Pescado taco was my favorite, followed by the carne con queso. Tinga de pollo was also solid. Overall really good!

Found this place on the Michelin guide and it definitely lives up to its hype. $10 for one taco seems pretty pricey but it's actually quite large and surprisingly filling. Between two people we shared 3 tacos and chips with guac/salsa and we were quite full. I'd also highly recommend getting a drink with your meal! My margarita was strong and flavorful which made the food even more enjoyable.

Yelp
Super cozy ambience. Probably the most authentic tacos in Toronto. However, $11 for a taco is unjustifiable and probably not worth it. I would say go once and try it because the food is very flavorful and the drinks are really good as well. Skip the chips and guac Definitely not to my liking and expectations and I had the taco with poblano peppers and corn, which was well done.

Oh my gosh this meal was INCREDIBLE. We heard about this place from some locals and it did not disappoint. Probably some of the best tacos I've had in my life, they were so well done and the flavors were so well balanced. They had bad bunny playing and the lights were dimmed so the ambiance was also so lovely. MUST go while in Toronto!

Campechano is still probably the best taco spot in Toronto - the carne con queso, which is braised beef with cheese and a crispy tortilla is one of the best I've ever had. You can't go wrong with any of their tacos, especially the steak which is a classic. BUT, the prices have gotten insane - at $13 for a taco, that's nearly double most other places. Even though the taco is amazing, the value just isn't there anymore.

Food is quite good. The guacamole and salsa are excellent and the tacos are very good. My favorite was the pescado. The papa taco was good too, but I have to make the fish taco my favorite.

I got a couple of tacos here: the pollo al pastor and the pescado. I had heard before coming here that the pescado is a must-try, but it was shadowed in flavor by the pollo al pastor in my opinion. The pollo al pastor was much more interesting. It has a spicy kick to it, so not recommended for those who cant eat spicy.

Yelp
Honestly one of the best taco spots in the city! We were blown away with how flavourful each and every taco we had was. Our top favourites were the chorizo con papa and the carne con queso. One order is a single taco so it is slightly on the more expensive side but it is so justified and worth it! The portion size is hefty for a single taco, but at the same time the ingredients are not spilling over the sides. You can taste the individual layers of the ingredients in the tacos which was amazing and all the flavours combined together was truly divine. Slightly disappointed that some items we wanted to try were sold out but by no means did that take away from the experience! The service here was good - they were quick to get back to us and we got sit down relatively quick. Definitely a must try spot if you love tacos!

My dad and I came here on a last minute decision, and I'm so happy we did. The chips and guacamole were super fresh and tasty, not just some store bought stuff. We got four tacos: the mushroom one, the Carnita, the chicken one, and another pork one I believe. All of them were super flavorful with well thought out combinations. The mushroom one is a must have and I would also recommend the carnitas one as well. It's a very intimate venue with a cozy feel. The servers are friendly but not overly attentive. The service is extremely fast, which was nice. The prices are also super reasonable. If I lived in Toronto or frequented Toronto, I would always stop here.

Long story short: Delicious and fresh tacos in a warm welcoming atmosphere! Long story long: Great place to go for tacos! There is limited seating, often in tables of 2, so I can see it filling up very quickly. It may be more difficult to get in without reservations. The decor is vibrant and eclectic. Our waiter was kind, attentive and helpful when we had questions. We tried the guacamole and salsa to start, followed by the pascado and tinga de pollo tacos. Fair warning that it is a bit on the expensive side and it is only 1 taco per order. They are fresh, a big more stuffed and well made, so I think it's worth it! The pascado taco was delicious and less spicy. On one hand, it's great that the menu is small, so it's easier to choose and stick to it, but I was hoping there were more options that were not as spicy (my tolerance is shamefully low). Each taco had a bit of a kick. The tinga de pollo was great too, with plenty for 1 portion, just a bit too much on the spicy side for me! Seeing me struggle, the waitress offered to get me a different one, which was lovely hospitality, but I declined because I'm not a coward. That dessert menu was tempting. We didn't indulge in it this time, but it's on my list for next time. I recommend a visit!

Tacos were good for the most part, drinks were decent, nice patio for the summer so if that's what you're looking for, it's perfect but you can get the same quality tacos or better for much cheaper at Kensington and other places in the city (Itacate St Clair). The Carnitas taco I had (I think that was the one, it was pork but maybe misremembering the name) was a bit greasy and messy which was a struggle to eat as the tacos are delicate and fall apart so just be aware. If you get a saucy taco, don't wear anything you like too much or put a bib on and tie your hair back. Fish tacos were great and easier to eat without being messy. Wish I took pictures, would go back for tacos + patio experience so I will next time.

Came here with 2 friends, reservations are highly encouraged. Food: (4.5 stars) The tacos come one large per serving, you need 2-4 for a meal. The tacos are just under $10 on average. Pascado - the best taco I had here Tinga des res - very good Tinga de pollo - very good. Service: Friendly staff.

3.5/4- the chips and salsa were great! I also really enjoyed the fish taco. I found the pollo al pastor too salty for my liking, I drank a lot of water after taking a bite. The other issue was that everything ran out very quickly, we went at 6 pm on a Saturday- the chips ran out and the other tacos I wanted to try ran out as well. I've had better tacos elsewhere but the patio was cute and the classic mojito was tasty. Will be back to hopefully try other tacos.

Cute patio seating. The food is great here but a bit pricey, roughly $10 per taco. I recommend making reso, Saturday lunch hour was busy.

Located just one road away from the kings street prime spot, this location is an interesting spot. As expected there is no parking allocated for this place due to its location but there are few parking spots near the area. THE AMBIANCE on the inside looked a bit messy. This spot is a TACO specialist place so the food orders get served almost in no time. This place have both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered for a spicy margarita and the classic one. Also we ordered for the Polo Al Pastor Taco To start of with the Margarita was very well done but not all Taco's were great. The staffs were very good and very clear at explaining their menu. The price of the items were OK This place is worth a visit for sure if you didn't find a spot at any outlet on kings street.

Campechano... oh boy! We got there with no reservation and super excited since hearing about their mention on the Bib Gourmand Michelin Star guide. We got seated very quickly and with no problem. Patio vibes were nice, but nothing overly impressive. Our server came with menus after a little while and had to take us through there lack of menu options. So for starters there were no appetizers, because they had no tortilla chips (excuse me?! Is this a Mexican restaurant) so right off the bat it gave me a weird feeling. Then they went on explaining they didn't have a few of the tacos on the menu and ended up the conversation by saying there is only 2 beers available out of the 10ish beers advertised in the menu. I was super disappointed in this. Greg ended up ordering a Negra Modelo and I got a White wine by the glass. My white wine was served on the same glass wear as the water, mildly chilled and just not even 5oz of wine in that glass for $9?! For food Greg went with the Tocihongos (bacon and mushrooms) and Chorizo con Papas. And I went for the Pescado and I thought I tried their Campechano (it has the name of the restaurant, so must be good right?!) No surprise here, we were so disappointed with all of our options. Tocihongos was a fine taco, a little too greasy. The Pescado was just a simple very plain fish taco. The Campechano let's me just say was oil and chunks of what seemed like ground beef with way to much sauce on it. For all the tacos the tortillas felt steamed?! Not pan fried as a taco usually is, which made the tacos that much harder to eat. Overall super disappointed, I don't think this place is worth the hype (sorry Michelin Guide... This is the first time you've disappointed me) and to be fully transparent each of those tacos were $10, not worth the price either.

I came here with my friend on Sunday. I had two tacos and a spicy margarita. The service is great, food and drinks were ok, but the price was hefty. - Pescado taco $9.00: 4/5, batter fried fish was crispy well balanced with green sauce and pink cabbage coleslaw - Chorizo con papa $9.00: 2.5/5, potato to meat ratio is too high and didn't have enough sauce to round out the acidity of the chorizo - Spicy margarita $13.50: 4.5/5, I loved this drink it was very tasty Good experience overall but not memorable enough to warrant a return anytime soon.

It's been a few years since I've last had Campechano tacos (being in the GTA and with COVID and all), so I've had massive cravings after trying some pretty bad tacos in Mississauga. My friend and I went downtown today to grab some of these amazing tacos for lunch - and it sure didn't disappoint! Although the website says that it opens at 12PM, we were told to wait for half an hour more (they were just getting the patio seats set up). So, we walked a few blocks before returning. Despite the vaccine passport being in effect, we weren't asked for our proof of vaccination - unsurprisingly, as the staff were quite busy trying to get everyone seated and served. It may also have been because we were doing outdoor dining (vs. indoor), and I believe the proof of Vx only applies to indoor dining. I knew I wanted to try the Pescado (top-notch fish taco!) and debated between the Campechano vs. Barbacoa - ultimately settling for the lamb barbacoa after the waitress' recommendation. I've tried both before so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. The Pescado was everything I wanted - the fish was fried perfectly and the pickled slaw was the perfect, tangy touch. The Barbacoa was a little heavier - the creamy, spicy sauce kept dripping down my plate (leaving a bright red mess!) but the lamb was deliciously gamey and delicious. My friend got the Pescado, Campechano (skirt steak + chorizo), and Hongos (mushroom) - and preferred them in that order. Overall, a delicious meal and I'm definitely going to miss this until the next time I return!

We ordered the ceviche with chips, the mushroom taco, the chorizo taco, and the beer battered fried haddock taco. All the dishes were great. Absolutely loved the mushroom and bacon taco, it is definitely a must try! The ceviche was good but not extraordinary for the price. I'm taking off one star just for the price. The tacos are a little on the expensive side but I will definitely visit again to try the other tacos because every taco we tried was absolutely delicious! Service and ambience were good too.

We were going to be in the area meeting friends on a Friday night, but we had some time to kill before the get-together so I scoped out the area on one of those reservations apps and there was Campechano. I'd been wanting to check the joint out for literally years, so when I saw that there was a spot open for 8:00, I grabbed it immediately. We arrived right on time and were shown to a very tight table right near the front of the restaurant. Normally I'm pretty annoyed when restaurants cram tables together, but I didn't have a problem with it here. The loud atmosphere and dim lighting was exactly what I was in the mood for. We decided to start with the Guacamole & Salsa ("Served with house-made chips"), and they were fantastic. The chips tasted super fresh, while the guac was creamy and addictive and the salsa was flavorful and spicy. A great start, to be sure. But the star of the show are the tacos, and I wound up ordering three: Campechano ("Grilled sirloin steak, chorizo, salsa morita"), Pescado ("Beer-battered haddock, red cabbage, chipotle mayo"), and Pollo Al Pastor ("Marinated chicken thigh, pineapple, salsa macha"). I was a little concerned that the $9 price point was a little unreasonable, but any such concerns were rendered moot as the tacos began to arrive. These are enormous concoctions that are more like small burritos than traditional tacos. And the flavors in all three were outstanding. I enjoyed both the Pescado and the Pollo Al Pastor, but the winner for me was the Campechano, which, after I ate it, I proclaimed one of the best tacos I'd ever eaten. It's ridiculously good. I wanted to finally order the Tres Leches, but they were sadly sold out. This didn't diminish what was otherwise a delicious, enjoyable experience, and I can't wait to return.

These tacos are out of this world - highly recommend the bistec (grilled steak), pescado (haddock), & carnitas (pork confit). Their pina mojito is also bomb. The patio is super cute in the summer, & the servers are really chill/easy going.

My God I am in love with this place ever since being introduced to it. Yes prices are a little higher but the quality and flavour is just amazing not to mention they really fill these babies! I definitely recommend getting the ceviche, AAA ribeye taco its my favourite along with the fish taco and the braised lamb and why not finish off your meal with their $4 tres leches topped with fresh strawberries and a drizzle of strawberry coulis. I would be good with sharing the ceviche app and having two tacos for myself. The decor is small and cozy, reservations ahead of time is highly recommended but they do leave a bit of space for walk ins. They also own Good Hombres on Bathurst and Dundas and have even opened a 3rd location somewhere on College st. I just keep coming back to this location since its walking distance to me but will definitely be checking out the other places soon. Everyone knows this hot spot and if you haven't been yet, what are you waiting for? I promise you won't regret it!

Campechano is a great place for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Their menu contains options for both and items are sold by piece, so everyone can order whatever they want. Most tables start with the guacamole ($8) where it arrives with two cups brimming with thin crispy chips, which they refill if you finish the tortilla before the dips. The salsa roja is great, with just a bit of spice and plenty of zest. It leaves the guacamole feeling fairly neutral, jazzed up with pomegranate - an interesting twist, though personally I do enjoy my dip without fruit. If you're feeling hungry than order a sencillo sopes ($6) for yourself; otherwise, it's hearty enough to share. The tortilla is thicker and soft, almost like naan but not oily. A layer of refried beans is spread on top with lettuce, cheese, and two types of sauce covering the pillowy tortilla. A different alternative to Campechano's tacos, but not nearly as exciting. If you can handle spice, the hongo ahumado ($6) has a healthy kick of fiery sauce drizzled on top. This heat was unexpected as the taco's description made it sound earthy tasting, from the smoked mushroom base, with a hearty finish, thanks to the white bean puree. In reality, aside from the spice, it's rather fresh with plenty of herbs sprinkled over top and very tasty, despite all the water you'll have afterwards. On the other hand, the healthy sprinkling of cotija cheese on the rajas ($5) makes the roasted poblano peppers taco richer than you'd expect. Additionally, the peppers aren't spicy at all, instead having a deep earthiness. With little bits of corn added for bite, this was another tasty taco. Campechano's dining room is small and cozy, so try to make a reservation. Regardless, there seems to be plenty of walk-ins and on our weekday dinner visit, the wait wasn't long... their service is friendly and efficient so most tables turn over quickly.

Great Mexican food! The pastor tacos are my favourite. Nice palomas too :) Best spot for Mexican in the area that I know of.

Cute little taco restaurant that's serving up some delicious Mexican food. Their speciality based on our experience and previous reviews is their tacos lol! The service was excellent and the ambiance is beautiful with plenty of patio space. Please note, the place is also 'dog friendly'. Out of all soft tacos we tried, their chorizo and fish tacos were favorite. Average price per taco is approximately $8-10. Also keep in mind the place doesn't stay open late night so if you're looking for some food last midnight go along King St west.

Had a good time at Campechano with friends. We ordered beers and margarita to start for drinks along with chips and salsa and guacamole as an appetizer. We each ordered different tacos including the vegan spicy mushroom one, al pastor, chorizo, tinga de pollo and pescado. We sat out on the patio and it was a great evening to do so. Our server was so nice and friendly! We will be back.

One of my favourite taco places! They're doing walk ins only with outdoor patio dining only right now. I grabbed a seat pretty easily at 6 pm on a Wednesday. They have QR code's for the menu and contact tracing form. I got the fried fish (pescado) taco and the mushroom (hongos) taco. Both were so delicious and very flavourful. I also got a margarita which was yummy and also strong We started with guacamole and chips which was average, nothing too special. I heard the barbacoa taco was recommended as well so I'll try that next time!

Delicious tacos, horrible sangria. Campechano and Seven Lions are the only two "authentic" tacos I've had in Toronto, as compared to tacos you can get in the US, particularly as you get close to the Mexican border. At $6-$8 each, they're not cheap, and you'll need between 2-4 to fill you up. Avoid the sangria - one of the worst I've had in Toronto.

Went to this beautiful spot just down the street that I never knew about. Thanks Jeff @lintonpasturepork. The service was excellent, thank you Melody, the space is beautiful and comfy. The cocktails are banging, fresh and sometimes spicy. Then there is the food. Fresh made corn soft taco shells are beautiful (made my hands smell delicious) and exceptionally well prepared taco fillings (I had the Barbacoa and Carnitas), very generous portions, wonderful sauces and toppings. They have vegan options which are fantastic (I had the Hongos). We then shared a dessert, gorgeous, not overly sweet, great texture, totally full of flavour. There is one on the menu, Tres Leches, and for good reason, its bloody delicious, who would want anything else. It's been a while since I had a place to rave about.

Went to their college street pop up location. We ordered Aguachile nego- scallops, cucumber appetizer which was not well seasoned. Some pieces were really salty, some pieces had no salt. Also got tacos: baja, canitas de pescado, albondigas de Mariscos, carne en su jugo Our favourite was the shrimp and fish meatballs ones, but besides that nothing else really stood out. Personally don't find the tacos worth 8$ each either

The place looks nice from the outside, we ate on the patio. The staff was really friendly and there's a nice vybe. The food was good but it wasn't much for the price if we compare to other taco places. The drinks were good. Overall it a nice place to go to hangout with friends and catch up.

Food was pretty good but it was on the pricier side for small tacos. We shared chips and salsa and guac for the table. The salsa was great, guac was just seasoned with salt and lime. I had the lamb, chicken and fish tacos. The lamb taco was very gamey. Drinks were really good - tried the spicy margarita and it was really spicy.

For the price, I think you can get much better and tastier tacos in Toronto. However, the ambiance was charming (felt like a hole in the wall with a nice backyard patio) and the pineapple mojito was delicious. Not a bad choice for casual drinks or a meal with friends in the busy King West area.

Great food, love the casual patio vibe. Good, quick service and it is always busy! Cooking with a huge piece of fresh delicious fish. The Tinga has a nice guacamole and spicy sauce. Now I know why it's always busy when we walk by! Will visit again

The restaurant takes reservations and were very accommodating when our group of 10 were late. They waited 30 min for us to arrive when I gave them advanced notice of our tardiness. The food and service were great. The tacos and beer were very good. I chose lamb and sirloin tacos. I also got the seabass ceviche but it was a bit spicy for me. Overall, it was a great time with the long table in the back room. I would definitely return.

All their tacos were a great balance of flavor and the ingredients all complimented each other perfectly. Great location right in the middle of lots of other places so you could swing by here for a quick bite or make a whole evening out of it. Their spicy marg was delicious (not too sweet, not too spicy, just right!)

I love the vibe of this place. It feels very local and cozy but also cool and hip. If you're coming for dinner, consider making a reservation, it gets busy! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu and there are so many options to choose from! I ordered the Campechano, carnitas and fish tacos. All were delicious and had a good kick to them - just what I look for in a good taco. If you're not so great with spice, ask the servers to take it easy on the spice sauce. The real star of the meal were the corn tortillas. You can tell that they are made in-house and are oh so fresh!

Wanted to try this place for awhile. My friends and I decided to check it out one Friday. It gets busy so definitely recommend making reservations! What can I say about this place? Love the atmosphere for sure. It smells good in the restaurant too. Even the washrooms were super cute and clean. They had candles lit on the tables and in the washroom which for some reason made everything seem better? Anyways onto the food and drinks. Friends and I shared sangria, good typical sangria. I also tried the pineapple mojito I think it was, and it was so good! Our table ordered about 2-3 tacos each. I'd say for myself 3 was good enough. We also shared the ceviche appetizer. I would have to say the tinga was so good, the chipotle shrimp, and I also had one of the beef ones which I can't remember but they made it mild for us. Some of them were still spicy but it had a good kick. They are a bit on the salty side though. Will definitely be back. Really enjoyed our dinner. Saw some big groups there so I'd recommend for a large party! Ps. They also have a patio but didn't get to see how big or nice it was.

This was a surprise around the corner from our Air BNB . The service was great even though they were packed . The carnitas were among the best we've had and we LOVE carnitas. It was small but cute and had a great outdoor seating. When I saw they were booked our last night I stopped in and met the owner or manager who said they'd make room for us and we talked NY and tacos . This is a long delayed review . but better late than never . Dont miss this smail unassuming restaurant ! Everything was delicious and the service was great
