Piñata Tacos

The best tacos we’ve had!! Thinking about how good they are even we left Toronto! We went back almost every week, Baja fish is so good and make sure you try their quesadillas! Service is always so good!!

Just moved into the area and needed a quick bite while I took a break from painting. Popped over here for a burrito and it did not disappoint! I will most certainly be back and next time I'm trying one of those margaritas that looked so good!

Delicious tacos on Dundas Street West. The service was quick with our server checking in multiple times. The atmosphere is great with lots of decorations and moody light. The real star were the tacos. We got the shrimp tacos and the grilled cactus tacos and they were both delicious. They are served in a double corn tortilla which makes it more filling. The flavours were well seasoned and perfectly cooked. We also got margaritas which were yummy as well. Good place to go for your Mexican fix!

TL;DR VERY expensive ($35.60 4x Tacos). Decent flavours and quantity. Kind service. Interesting design. Food: I got a combination of 1x Quesairria taco ($9+tax), 1x Steak taco ($7.50+tax), Cochinita Taco ($7.50+tax) and 1x Al Pastor tacos ($7.50+tax). The Birria was pretty good on it's own, with subtle flavours but the cheese overwhelms in flavour and makes it slightly salty but still good. Even when matched with the consume that comes in an espresso type cup (smart). The Birria taco came with doubled tortilla, with the outside tortilla being fried. The quantity of meat was respectable. I did not find the Birria to be spicy at all. I did find one piece of bone within my taco. The Carne taco full of flavour with a slight salty taste. The meat itself was very soft. The Cochinita taco was soft, juicy, with good flavour but subtle. The Al Pastor was pretty good, with a smokey taste, and the meat was pretty packed. The tortilla tasted very authentic. Service: The servers were pretty chill and quick. From the moment we entered to order, all the way to getting the food was pretty fast but there was only about 7 other people ordering. Setting: They were playing Techno music, at a volume slightly over medium. The washrooms smelled good despite looking pretty run down. The walls in the dining room and washroom are designed by seemingly customer’s writing and drawings with sharpies. There were about 7 single tables that fit 2 people and a third if you wanted to add a chair to the side. There was 1 table with 4 seats and then a couple of stools by the bar. They also offer you the sharpie so you can add your personal touch to their walls.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food pics! Tacos, they're everywhere, simply because we can't get enough of their taste. Overflowing with a decadent amount of gooey cheese and juicy, savory shredded beef, the fried corn tortilla holds each bite together surprisingly well. The beefy consomme broth that's intended for dunking has a distinct tartness from tomatoes, cutting through the richness of each bite. The pork was also very tender and juicy, and I preferred the greater emphasis on the protein.

Had such a great time at Piñata Tacos! We tried the quesabirria, chicken quesadilla, cactus taco, chips and guac, and a couple of margs—everything was so good. The quesabirria was cheesy and crispy in all the right ways, and the guac tasted super fresh. Even the cactus taco was a surprise fave. Big shoutout to Carlos, our server—he was super friendly, helpful with recommendations, and just made the whole experience even better. We felt really well taken care of. Also, their patio is super cute—perfect spot for a chill afternoon hang. Definitely coming back soon!

This place serves some of the best Mexican burritos around! I paired a margarita with a steak burrito, and it was fantastic. I’ve tried several items on their menu, but their burritos are definitely the standout. The portions are just right — not too big, not too small — and the sauces really enhance the flavor. They offer three levels of spice using different peppers: * Mild – Jalapeño * Medium – Guajillo * Hot – Habanero From the sauces, the mild doesn’t add much heat, medium is great for flavor without too much kick, and the hot habanero sauce is my favorite — it really brings out the burrito’s flavors and tastes amazing. For anyone who loves a flavorful, perfectly balanced burrito, this place deserves a full 5 stars!

The fish taco is my favourite! And the crunchy chips with their guacamole, yummmm!!!

Small, taqueria with a great graffiti decor aesthetic. The tacos felt authentic - similar to those that I have had in Mexico City; burst of densely packed flavour fillings in double layers of corn tortillas. The torta was equally great - filling in a great bun, but I would have preferred toasted. Of the items we ordered, the beef birria taco was the highlight. We went a bit after usual lunch time; so service is a bit difficult to judge - other than it was friendly. Will go again.

My go-to spot for my Mexican torta fix whenever I'm in West End Toronto late at night (after a show or something). I really like their baja fish especially. The sandwhich always comes with juicy fillets fried to perfection, accompanied by delicious salsa and dressing and insane bread that is soft inside but crispy on the outside. Ah. Love it.

Good food. Great vibe. Authentic. Delicious. I'm happy this place is in my neighborhood. I'm also gluten-free so finding a place that's cool about making those accommodations can be tricky. These guys have always been super cool. And their drink menu is very tasty.

Interesting part of town with lots of shops and restaurants in the area. We sat outside (this review is obviously being written a little late as it would not be good to sit outside in the month of February. haha!) and it was a beautiful day. We had our two littles with us and they did not have high chairs...so that made eating a bit difficult. My husband got the Birria Taco and while it was tasty, the price felt steep, given the taco was pretty small. I got the carnitas burrito, which was a good size, but relatively boring in terms of flavor and toppings. Just meat, lettuce, and tomato. I guess I also was not expecting fresh lettuce and tomato on a burrito--I would have thought it would have been meat, beans, and rice or something of that nature.

Fun spot with good outdoor seating and lots of other interesting shops/restaurants in the area. I enjoyed the Birria Taco that I had from a flavor standpoint; however, I didn't think the price-to-size ratio was really accurate as the taco was small and this item comes at a price premium. My wife got the carnitas burrito which was a better size, but a little on the boring side. The meat didn't have much flavor, and the only toppings were lettuce and tomato. Would've been nice with salsa, rice and black beans too. Finally, once our dinner was complete, no one was coming with a check though our food had been cleared for a long time so I walked in and had to wait for the bartender to finish a round of drinks before processing my card. Not a big deal, as I know lots of places are understaffed, but just left a final poor impression for me.

Best Birria and carnitas Tacos I've tried in Toronto! Fast service and good prices! Definitely reccomend!

Piñata Tacos kills it on the tacos front. The place pulses with character, the multicoloured walls setting a fun foundation for a good night out. Not too many tables, with most of the restaurant being centred around a bar. The portions are generous, with 3 tacos being more than enough to fill a hungry tummy. The burria taco is my favourite, it's hearty consommé infusing the already juicy beef filling with an extra textural dimension. The guac and chips totally hit the spot as well - you can tell what's homemade and what's not, and it's clear that everything here is made with love. Service is very friendly and quick. Definitely worth a try!

Tried Pinata for the first time and they're seriously the best tacos i've had!!! I got their Baja fish taco and their Gobernador taco (which is grilled shrimp and cheese) Both were packed with filling and flavours, if you like spice I recommend getting the Hot level hot sauce bc its tolerable and very tasy! Also the service was so lovely

I had two tacos here one night and they hit the spot The chicken taco was my favourite of the two, good kick and flavours. Service was friendly and quick although the time of night may be why it was fast. Chill, small soot on Dundas- can't go wrong One taco was $7.50 but I feel like this is standard in Toronto now a days (which is pricey but all places are)

Food is good but the price is not worth it. I live in the area, so I've seen the price go up since they open while the food quality has gone down. Also disappointed that I just stopped at Do West fest, and paid $7 for the tiniest birria taco. Then y'all asked for a tip at a street fest, and tips started at 18%. I love supporting local business but I won't be eating here again. The food is just ok. But you come to a street fest and you give a tiny taco though for $7 and prompt for a tip on top?!

Ordered the baja fish and shrimp tacos. About 90% breading and 10% meat. Wasn't hot or fresh and tasted like it was cooked in old grease from the day before. Everything was tainted with this stale grease flavor and the one Birria taco I got had the tiniest morsel of beef and was basically just cheese and tortilla. Would not come back nor would I recommend it to anyone. Server was nice at least

Good food. Great vibe. Authentic. Delicious. I'm happy this place is in my neighborhood.

I was SOOOO looking forward to this place opening when I saw the 'coming soon' sign in the window. Since opening, the few times I've gone by, it was always packed and lines at the door. So I thought it must be good. Finally had the time to go but again a line, so instead I ordered for pick up. Instructions are to bypass lines and go directly to the counter, which I did. From a customer service perspective, very low on the scale; not impressed at all. I could clearly see my food on the counter not far from me. One lady was on the phone, which sounded quite problematic but no acknowledgement from her. About 5 minutes later, another lady comes from a back area and goes behind the counter and says she will be right with me. She takes over the conversation on the phone from the first lady, who then disappears in the back. The lady on the phone finishes and then goes in the back. A few minutes later she comes out with a garbage bag and starts changing the bin. As she does, the first lady comes back and finally addresses me for the first time. After telling her my name, looks at the bag on the counter, describes the contents and after I agree, hands it over. This all took about 12 minutes. The only good thing about the wait, was I got to check out the place, which made me realize why it's packed and has line ups. Not a lot of seating at all and quite cramped actually. It would not be a destination I'd go with a few friends. After getting home, I had to reheat the burrito, as I was there at the time they told me it would be ready. But with extra wait time and extra 5 minutes to get home, it was cold. Though I said medium, it was definitely hotter, as it had a kick and I was sweating; which I didn't mind, as I like spicy but others may not appreciate. Most disappointing were the contents. I got chicken but the menu said it included cheese, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, green bell peper, cilantro, onions, chipotle mayo. From those items, the only thing I saw, other than chicken, was some cilantro and a few VERY small cubes of tomatoes. Frankly, I don't know how they can be cut that small, unless they come packaged that way? Definitely didn't see beans or lettuce or onions. I LOVE burritos and tacos so try any new place I can to compare. Very underwhelming in comparison to even some chains. I expected more from an individual restaurant. But I will give them another chance, as I want to support local business and hope I just chose the wrong item or it wasn't made as properly given how busy they seemed. Please don't make me regret my decision!!
