Holi Taco

We ordered some takeout from Holi Taco (as we heard good things about the place) and everything was fabulous! We got four orders of their three Tacos De Suadero (tacos of marinated beef). They each came in two soft shells and had Peanut Sauces and Salsa Verde to go with them. The beef was super tender and very flavourful. We also got a box of Quesadilla and Chips that had quesadillas with cheese and chips- also super yummy! The owner at Holi Taco takes pride in his food, and you can taste it. It is a great choice for your taco and other cravings for Mexican cuisine!

We wanted to grab a quick bite before our concert at History (The Band CAMINO) and found this place because of the high review. The tacos are well-filled with different meat options. They also have fresh ingredients and sauces with different levels of spice you can add to your taco. Highly recommend for anyone needing a quick bite before their concert. PS the shop is really small with like 6 seats.

Really nice cozy and authentic taco spot!!! My husband and I got 2 tacos each the pastor and fish tacos as well as the chips and guacamole to share. We got this to go - and one peice of advice, bring a lot of napkins as well as maybe a small packet of wet wipes would be the perfect touch and thoughtfullness towards the customer experience. The tacos were prepared to order, so they were hot and fresh and the options of do-it-yourself salsa and condiments was the perfect way to experience participating in making your own tacos. One thing I would recommend would be a few more chips and double the tacos corn tortillas. We had some guacamole left and sadly would've love to finish it all as it was so tasteful. I would go again and also highly recommend this place. Very neat design and decor although its short and small.

came here with a friend in the evening—the tacos were delicious!!! i got the de suadero and my friend got the de jamaica. the meat in the suadero was so juicy and tasty, and the vegetables in my friend’s taco were perfectly seasoned and flavourful. there was a topping stand as well so you're able to customize your food just the way you like (i tried all of the salsas and each were unique and so yummy). staff were also so sweet! definitely making a trip back here again for some scrumptious tacos!

We ordered on Uber Eats and you are honestly the sweetest, they even sent us an extra taco! Everything was delicious. The sauces were incredible, but our favourite was definitely the salsa verde. We tried the al pastor, carnitas, and suadero tacos, plus the guacamole with chips, the agua de jamaica, and the churros. We absolutely loved it. Holi Taco has our hearts! Gracias muchachos, son los mejores!!!

Low-key taco spot — a true hidden gem! They’ve got beef brisket tacos, tongue, and al pastor. All of them are top quality, but the al pastor was my favourite. The staff are super friendly, the music has great taste, and the whole place feels cozy — especially in December. Definitatly come back Highly recommend!

Stumbled across this spot before a concert at History. The food and atmosphere were excellent. My friend ordered all of the vegetarian tacos and was really impressed, while I had the Al Pastor, beef, and fish tacos. Each one was flavorful and well-prepared. The selection of salsas was outstanding and added a lot of variety. The space is small, with limited seating and a standing table, but it works well for a quick bite. The owner was welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better. 10/10 — I’ll definitely be back.

It had been a really long time since I've found any tacos that truly remind me of Mexico City in Canada... and then I came to this spot! So incredibly authentic. If you are missing the tiny taco stands of CDMX, come here immediately. I'm not even joking. It's got everything, and the taste is bang on. I honestly can't believe these tacos are tucked away in a tiny little shop in the east end. Any further west and I'm sure they would be on every food guide for the city with queues around the block. But you have to come to Leslieville. It makes them seem even more like a hidden treasure, and something special for the neighbourhood. The guys working there are 5-star dudes and obviously take so much pride in their work. The flavours are amazing, the ingredients are super fresh, and the space is cool. It doesn't have much seating, more like "eat a taco and leave" vibes, again just like CDMX. I hope this place sticks around for a long, long time.

Okay, not great. Not much taste in beef, surprisingly dry since they dip it in Broth. Chorizo was okay. Pork was better. It's not a repeat type of place. Service was okay. Not very personable.

¡Muy delicioso! What an amazing experience at Holi Taco! It was a bit of a trip to get here, but it was it worth it. Service is super friendly, sociable, and fast. The staff were generous to give me carnitas tacos on the house after seeing me salivate over the roasting carnitas for 15min after I finished my first round of tacos. I was incredibly touched by this, and this made the experience even better. Their tacos are SO DELICIOUS. First of all, the tortillas they use are fantastic - they hold the weight and juices of the taco fillings without needing to be double stacked. This keeps the taco structure without making the taco as starch-heavy. I find that other spots that double up on the tortillas in order to give the taco more structure can sometimes result in the taco being more effortful to chew, and the balance of meat to salsa to toppings to tortilla is a bit off. My favourite taco was the pescado (fish). Lightly battered white fish, topped with crunchy purple cabbage & pico de gallo. I also added cilantro, onions, and salsa verde from the DIY toppings bar. Such a bright, light taco to enjoy bursting with flavour! The carnitas (pork) landed in 2nd place for me - smoky paprika, salt, and charred carnitas being slowly roasted, paired with pineapple. The pineapple cuts the saltiness of the carnitas with its acidity and sweetness to balance out the flavours. Mmm so tasty... Last but not least, we tried the suadero (brisket), which is their best seller. Surprisingly, this wasn't my favourite because it didn't wow me as much. It was very juicy & tender, but overall just tasted like salty beef even with toppings added. Still a delicious taco, but I would go for the other 2 instead. Seating is quite limited, so be prepared to eat standing near the exit or wait a bit for counter/seating space to be available. The interior is decked out in Polaroid photos of locals who share their love of tacos, Latin-themed decor, and vibrant colours. Love the small local biz feel!

Had an amazing experience at Holi Taco the other day! It is a small establishment near History so it's a great spot to stop by before a concert there. There are a limited number of seats but people go in and out quickly, so you won't have to wait too long. The staff are kind and friendly, and will give you recommendations. Their most popular taco is the beef brisket, so I tried that and the sausage taco (longaniza). You can load your taco with the toppings in their side bar (4-5 different types of salsa, onions, cilantro and lime). The salsa verde is AMAZING! so i recommend loading your tacos with that :) The beef brisket taco was indeed delicious, soft and cooked very well. The sausage was also good but I think it could have slightly more flavour to compare to the beef brisket. All the toppings go very well with the meats. After I ate the two tacos, my friend and I were debating on getting a carnitas taco as well, and the owner surprised us with a two free carnitas tacos! It was such a wholesome and fun surprise and also super delicious. I would say my favourite was the beef brisket, then the carnitas and then the longaniza. My friend highly recommends the fish taco as well :) Overall, highly recommend and I can't wait to go back!

A Hidden Gem for Real Tacos! I came to Holi Tacos last Friday and had an amazing experience. Luis served us nice, warm, flavorful tacos with excellent tortillas -- they held together perfectly and were filled generously with meat. That's something I really appreciate as a taco lover and a Mexican! My wife and I were so happy with our food and the relaxed, friendly vibe that we ended up staying for a couple of hours. Luis made us feel welcome like we were visiting an old friend. If you're looking for a place that serves authentic and well-made tacos, look no further. Holi Tacos is the real deal. Highly recommend you check it out -- you won't regret it. MAO

Stopped by before a show, low on time. My partner was like, "there's nowhere to sit..." and the owner (?) who was right there slinging tacos immediately was like, "they taste best standing up anyway!" He was right. In my opinion, the tortilla makes the taco- and these were- to my amatuer palate- close to perfect! We had the huitlacoche, pescado, al pastor and jamaica- all wildly saborosos. So good in fact, we went back after the show and had two more. The guys are all super fast and friendly. The space is perfect for a quick bite and there's a bunch of sidewalk and a bench out front- true street tacos. If you're seeing a show at History, this spot should not be missed!

This charming little taco restaurant just opened on Queen Street East near Coxwell. It's in the exact location formerly occupied by the Burgers Priest, which has since moved further east. The owner is from Mexico City, so these tacos are very authentic, and absolutely delicious. The tortillas and salsas are all homemade, and you can really taste the care and quality that's gone into them. There's also the vibe, which is just right. Nothing here is extraneous - there's no space for that. Everything is set up for maximum taco efficiency. Lined up across the front countertop are four traditional molcajetes, each with a different salsa to choose from. I tried some of each and they were all delicious, but I highly recommend the darkest salsa on top of one of the brisket tacos. I don't know what it's called, or how it's made, but it's magical. Even though they just opened a few days ago, they've been getting some great word of mouth on social media, and already seem to be doing very brisk business -- and yes, that's a subliminal reminder to try the brisket!

Authentic tacos served with a warm smile in a cozy spot near the Beaches. Tacos Al Pastor burst with tender marinated pork and sweet pineapple. The Classic Churros offer a crunchy exterior and soft centre. The cheerful owner and upbeat vibe make you feel right at home. From the lively salsa station to the bright decor, this place is a local gem for anyone craving memorable Mexican bites.

We tried out Holi Taco and were really impressed! A lovely selection of toppings, including vegetarian and vegan. Friendly service and just a great new spot. Take-out only when we tried it. Menu includes Guacamole & chips, quesadillas & chips, meat options include: brisket, chorizos, al Pastor (marinated pork), de Pescado (haddock), de Nopal (cactus).

Some of the best tacos in the city. Each one is unique and so good. The entire menu is stellar.

We started off with dinner next door at Casa Di Giorgio. So glad I did not fill up and saved stomach space for tacos. The owner was so friendly. We ordered the halibut, brisket, and pork tacos. Soooooo good. Hands down fave taco place in town.

Best fish tacos I've had. Came from California. I recommend this place! Very friendly.

How other reviewers could possibly give this place five stars is a mystery to me. These were by far some of the worst tacos I've had. They were dripping in so much grease that a huge puddle was left in the container under each one and the taco shells were soaked in it. One of them tasted like the meat was sitting in this grease for quite a while, not fresh at all. If you want even more grease on your taco, try the chipotle style sauce they give you on the side. To top it all off, they handed them to us in an open face container to go, no top. When we asked, we were given a bag so we could put the open face container in it ourselves. Walk 15 min east on Queen and you'll find at least four pubs and restaurants with way better tacos for a reasonable price.

best tacos i've had in toronto. on par with the best i've found in California, too. I typically order the Al Pastor (pork and pineapple); quite good! also check if they have fried avocado; it's quite good!
