    Shrimp tacos
    DeMario M.

    I found this restaurant by mistake while in Toronto. We were looking for a different taco shop but stumbled upon Atomic 10 and I'm so glad that we did. The food was delicious (we ordered food to eat at the restaurant and ordered food for the drive back to the US). The shrimp tacos and guacamole are 10/10. The service was impeccable and I love the cozy vibe and decor. The Margaritas are definitely a HIT (especially the Hibiscus Margarita). The outdoor patio is really nice as well but be carful of the bees (they enjoyed my Margarita more than I did). I would highly recommend visiting if you are in Toronto.

    Came here with a friend that frequents this spot when she's craving tacos and downtown. It's nice and cozy inside with cool funky decor and a cute patio in front for the summer time. Our waiter was great and very attentive. We ordered the yucca fries with chipotle dip, the pad Thai and birria tacos and I ordered a spicy margarita. I loved the rim of the spicy margarita, I couldn't get enough of it! The yucca fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside but a bit more dense compared to potato fries. The chipotle sauce is to die for, I could put that on everything! I loved how unique the pad Thai tacos were and the birria tacos were delicious as well. I've only tried Atomic 10 at taco fest but so glad I finally got a chance to try it at the restaurant. I will definitely be back!

    Birria Taco
    Michelle Z.

    My group got the birria tacos, carne asada tacos, and fish tacos. The carne asada tacos came out to each be around 24 CAD after tax and tip (around 18 USD). The tacos are on the smaller side, but they are quite flavorful! The birria tacos are super tender and the shell was the right amount of crunchy. Definitely the highlight of the meal! The fish tacos were pretty decent as well. The carne asada tacos, however, were under seasoned and tough. I recommend the birria tacos if you're dropping by! No complaints about the service either.

    Churros

    Firstly, our server Gienel was extremely genuine, attentive, made us feel 100% welcomed. She wasn't ever intrusive but still extremely observant and always came at the right time. Our dishes were served at the perfect pace, and she even gave us free churros as a welcome to Toronto (we were traveling), so sweet!! She also made me the most amazing spicy margarita - the best I've had. In terms of food also AMAZING!!!!! Juicy and well balanced tacos, will for sure satisfy all your cravings. Their churros are super fresh, soft and almost chewy, yet crispy on the outside, pairing perfectly with their caramel sauce. The interior was unique - colorful and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal from combination of good vibes & good food :) will definitely try to come back if we can!!

    Flavorful. Tasted. Damn good tacos. It's tucked off to the side from the main road. (I like that better) it's good y'all. PRICEY! Not gonna lie, but guacamole 10/10. No Queso dip, but that's okay! This is a place I would frequent if I lived in Toronto. I do plan on coming going back one day very soon!

    Pad thai
    Michelle T.

    This might be the most flavourful birria tacos I've had ever! The consomé was little heavy on the salt if you ate it alone but perfect after dipping the tacos. We also got the pad Thai taco, which had fried fish and it was unique: didn't taste like Thai / pad Thai but still good. Would definitely recommend the birria and will come back to try other flavours.

    Get off of your device and get down to Atomic 10 immediately. Order everything. Amazing food. Cool ambiance. Service is good.

    I was driving by hoping this was the restaurant I would soon be dinning in as the patio with all the lights, the bright colour caught my attention. There are neon signs all over. The room is red! One wall is covered in the periodic table. The music was hyped creating a great vibe overall. Onto the food, we all tried different tacos from the fish, to crispy chicken to birria tacos. I would have to say the crispy chicken and birria has to be my favourite. I wish they had the option to try the different type instead of purchasing 3 of the same kind. Nonetheless, will return to try more.

    My boyfriend and I tried the Birria Tacos for the first time! Absolutely delicious Good lighting for IG food pics and very vibrant decor. They had very friendly servers and a cool bathroom too! Wish I had more time to try other items on the menu--but I'll be back for sure

    Food was sooooo good. A friend and I randomly found this spot while exploring the Toronto area. We were quickly seated with no reservations and the ambience was great. Plenty of outdoor and in door seating, making for a cute spot that's intimate. The food came quick and was delicious. I got the Baja tacos and loved it. It's the perfect meal for when you want something light but still tasteful. Service was great. Definitely recommend!!

    First time trying this taco place. It's a small place. The decor of the restaurant was really detailed. For the tacos we got the K pop, pad Thai, la bamba, and baja fish. We enjoyed all of them! The portions were big and the taste was definitely on point. It comes with a side of lime and hot sauces (mild, medium, and hot). The washroom had a wall of cool meme stickers!

    Atomic 10 was the bomb.com!!!! I loved the food from here! I decided to come here while visiting Toronto after looking at a Toronto food bloggers page, that mentioned them. The pictures looked good so we decided to try them for lunch. I'm so happy we did. Our waiter was nice but I will say the service was slow starting out. It seemed to be maybe only 2 waiters so we waited for a few minutes before even getting water and menus. Other than this, everything else was good! We started with appetizers and drinks. We ordered chips, pico and Gauc as well as Yuca Fries. The chips and dips were good. The dips tasted fresh and homemade. The Yuca Fries were the bomb!! They were fried perfectly and to the perfect golden brown. Both the chips and fries were well seasoned. The fries also came with a dipping sauce that was amazing and paired perfectly with the fries. Myself, my husband and our youngest daughter tore these fries up. My husband ordered a classic margarita and I ordered a Blueberry Mojito. His Marg was very good and tasted well made! My mojito was good. My only complaint was that sometimes with certain flavors they tend to taste a little like cough medicine. The cough medicine flavor was not super strong but it was there. However, if I drink from the bottom of the glass I got less of that flavor bc it was sweeter. It was still good though. For lunch we ordered 2 Chicken Plates and Fish Tacos. The chicken plates were amazing. It came with marinated chicken, plantains, Gauc, rice and black beans. All plates come with rice and then you can choose 3 sides. The chicken had the perfect taste and crunch. It was cooked well. Probably the best grilled chicken I've had in awhile. It went so well with everything else on the plate. This was the perfect lunch! We also ordered the beer-battered fish tacos. There are 3 tacos in each order. The tacos were good and fried to the perfect crunch and golden brown. The other toppings that came with it made for the perfect fish taco. Overall, we truly enjoyed Atomic 10. I would highly recommend!

    Beef Birria Taco
    Justin V.

    Excellent tacos. I've been here a few times now. If you come during the Summer be sure to sit on the patio, not because you want to make the most of the warm weather in a Canadian town but because the joint is so fucking loud you can't hear yourself think. Delicious cocktails, remarkable tacos and sandwiches, and a charming staff. Bonus points for the hilarious bathroom decor. I had the birria tacos and they are excellent. I was so excited to eat them again that I forgot to snap a photo until I was down to my last taco. The only drawback from eating here is that my buddy and I did a bang-bang and this was the follow up to a tremendous cheeseburger and the dairy double punch fucked me up. I had to racewalk home and even had to call my girlfriend so she could open the front door ahead of my arrival making it easier for me to bound into the bathroom and destroy the crapper. I even needed a shower and a nap afterwards. Take it from me kids, take your lactose intolerance seriously. But really good tacos.

Parking was a challenge, but there is a Green P that is about 5-8 minutes away that isn't too bad if the weather is good. The atmosphere is quite intimate and I did find myself bumping into other people / staff when going to and from the washroom, etc. The food was pretty good - the tacos were full of flavour and I got to try a variety by sharing with the group. I think my favourite was the beef barbacoa. The prices are definitely a bit up there for a Mexican restaurant, I believe the tacos were around $7 each. The quality made it worth it, but there's definitely other places in Toronto that serve up a great taco for nearly half the price. We also tried a couple of appetizers, including the nachos, guac and ceviche. The nachos were something special - it was a bit of a nacho pizza. I didn't expect that from Playa Cabana, given everything else was very authentic. The taste was good, but it was a bit of a challenge to share! The highlight of the night was definitely the desserts - we ordered the tres leches cake, and the churros. Definitely the best churro I've ever had.

We got lucky and they were able to squeeze us into seats at the bar area, which ended up being the best possible spot because we had a front-row view of the live fire cooking the entire night. The ambiance was lively and hip, with a great energy that made the whole experience feel exciting. This was my first time watching each main courses get cooked over live fire in real time, which added to our amazement given that all the dishes came out cooked to the right doneness. Every bite of meat and seafood was perfectly kissed with flame -- the char, the subtle smoke, the texture. Beyond the fire element, you can really taste how fresh everything is. Nothing felt heavy or muddled. Each dish was well thought out with balanced flavors, but the ingredients and that fire/smoke magic were always the main event. Service was also superb. All the staff were attentive and high-energy. Different servers checked up on us throughout the meal, our water was always kept full, and dishes were cleared in a timely manner. Only drawback: the heat. Sitting by the fire is incredible for the show, but it definitely started to feel like a sauna at times. Still, I'd do it again and choose to sit at the bar without hesitation. If you're in Toronto and you love a tasting menu, this is a must. Just make sure you book at least a month in advance - it's popular for a reason.

Highlight was the scallops, we asked for it to be included on our set menu, and they delivered. Can't wait to go back!

You enter the restaurant from a set of stairs outside and the restaurant doesn't look too appealing from outside. Also, the restaurant always seems busy and/or small, so it's always loud and service is slow. With the negatives out of the way, let me explain why I love La Carnita! The food is amazing! Their tacos are on point, and with so many to choose from I can go back multiple times can never get bored. Each of their tacos has something different to offer and each has relatively good balance to them. The balance of freshness and savory (and sometimes sweet) toppings is well done, making me come back for more. The one item that pushes La Carnita over the top is their nachos! Homemade nacho chips with gooey cheese and a generous amount of toppings makes them my favorite nachos in Toronto! One last observation is that the service is always friendly. They may be (very) slow at times but they seem like they always try their best and are always quite pleasant. Overall, I love La Carnita and when I get a craving for tacos and nachos, I'm heading straight here!

Because the packaging indicated it was the vegetarian item I ordered, I ate the food, only to realize too late that I had been given beef.

As a food establishment, accurate labelling and order verification are critical responsibilities, especially when customers trust your menu to align with their religious and dietary needs.I request that management investigates how this cross-contamination or mislabelling occurred to ensure it does not happen to anyone else. I expect a prompt response regarding how you plan to handle this error and prevent it from recurring. I am utterly surprised as I have been ordering and been there so frequently and it is one of my fav spots. I have no words. Sincerely, Dolly Chandriani
