El Pocho Antojitos Bar

They don’t advertise that this place is 100% gluten-free, but it is! I am celiac and had a great experience there. The food was incredible - I would definitely recommend the battered fish tacos and tiger shrimp quesadillas, which are pictured below. They both have very unique flavours that are hard to replicate at home. I think the quesadillas were a special menu item, though. Also, you must try the gluten-free churros for dessert!!! In terms of atmosphere, it’s more bar-like, where you order drinks and small plates as you eat. I really like this format and I think it’s a unique experience that celiacs don’t often get. Overall would definitely recommend!

Everything was solid and has a nice kick to it. Place is very cozy tucked away on a little side street. Will return as local taco hole. Whole place is gluten free which is great!

Great for casual date night! We got the $50 pp menu, which was a generous amount of food for the price especially nowadays in Toronto. Everything was really tasty. Highlights were the ceviche, the churro, and lamb(?) tacos (not pictured, we ate it before we could take a pic).

We went to El Pocho Antojitos and everything was absolutely amazing! We ordered the Tacos de Frijoles Negros, Eltos, their refreshing home-made sodas (pineapple and lemon), and finished with two sweet dishes – the churros and a strawberry pastry. Every single item was delicious, but the drinks were especially refreshing and made the whole meal even better. Definitely a place I’d recommend and would love to come back to

Cute little spot! Everything tasted fresh and bright. The ceviche was honestly better than ones I’ve had in Mexico. Tacos come in twos - we tried the fish and carnitas and both hit the right spot. Tuna tostadas were great too. Friendly service, no complaints. We’ll definitely be back.

As a celiac, I was almost glutened here. When I asked a server if the beer was gluten free, I was told everything on the menu was. But when my lager arrived, the bottle listed barley. I double checked with another server, who confirmed it wasn’t gluten free, apologized, and kindly brought me a quinoa-based beer instead (which was good, just a little warm). I don’t want to be too harsh. Overall, the food was great, and it’s such a gift to have a spot where I can enjoy a tres leches cake without fear. But this experience is a good reminder to always double check, even in places that seem safe. It also highlights how important it is for all staff to be fully trained on gluten and allergens.

Are you tired of social media hyped restaurants in busy downtown? This is our 2nd visit because the restaurant is one of the best local mexican places in such not too busy area. This time, I will not write something about food. You wanna try a really good mexican foods. This is it! They have nice and cute inside dining space under canopy as well. And, if you come with fur friends, they also offer cafe T.O style patio too.

Delicious vegetarian options, everything I tried was super flavorful. Their drink menu is great as well! The enclosed patio is cozy and warm Overall, a great place for tasty food, good drinks, and a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend!
