First time here. I asked what's vegan and they recommended Tierra Picante tacos. Tierra Picante = portobello and cremini mushroom. Very delicious! I also tried Tierra Picante burrito and that was delicious too. Safe to say this is the best and most authentic tacos I have ever tasted. I will surely come back for more. read more

A little pricier than expected but they are good tacos. Fresh and we tried 10 of them. Fish was my favourite but nothing was bad. Would go again or more often if I lived closer to this place. But if u never been I would recommend trying at least once. Service was great too. read more

This is truly a hidden gem for Mexican food. Whenever I get a change to go to Vaughan Mills I would always hit up this place for some food. Their tacos are very authentic and some of the best I've had. Definitely a must for place if you are in the area. I've been to this place before and happy to say their kept their food quality on point. It is a little hidden since it is at the back corner of the plaza and their logo doesn't stand out too much but when you find it, it is worth it. Today, we stopped in for lunch. We got the taco combo and a fish burrito. Here, they give you free chips and dip if you dine in. Their dip is all house made in either a mild or hot. Remember that the red is mild and the green is hot! I love spicy food so the hot salsa dip was perfect for me. The taco combo comes with 3 tacos that you can pick from their list. Fish and beef are premium tacos and a combo that includes these are $1 more. I got the fish, beef and carnitas (pork) tacos and my favourite was the carnitas. It was very juicy and flavourful. The fried fish comes in second and it is moist and flaky. My husband got the burrito and was just as good. It was very filling and after 4 hours, he is still full! The guac and rice were definitely one of the highlights as you can taste that it is made fresh. Our lunch was topped off with a Mexican soda that hit the spot. They have a few authentic Mexican sodas to choose from which helps you picture being in Mexico for the full experience. Don't worry if you are not familiar with Mexican food - the staff is super nice and always asks if you've been their before and need help with the menu. Can't wait till I'm back next time! read more

This place is amazing, the best fish tacos and chorizo I've ever had. I recommend you get the guac and chips. When you order they always give you a side of nachos regardless of your order. (Only if you dine in) They also provide you with unlimited salsa, mild and spicy. It's probably one of the best salsas I had, I really enjoyed the red salsa (mild) the most. It was creamy but at the same time smooth. It's a perfect date spot, very comfy and cozy. The whole entire atmosphere/environment is very welcoming. I believe the restaurant is family owned so it's usually the same friendly staff who serves us. I ordered the chorizo tacos 3 for 10.99 Fish haddock tacos 3 for 11.99 Chicken quesadillas (forgot price) but it comes with a small side of guac Nachos and guac for $4 Overall this place is an amazing fix for your taco/Mexican cravings, very friendly staff, amazing food, and great atmosphere. read more

Lets taco bout how good these tacos were ! This is a great place to go to get tacos for a good price and they come with two extra spicy sauces that compliment the tacos well Fish Taco, Beef Brisket and Spicy Sausage (5 for $21) Out of the 3 that I tried, i liked the fish taco the best. The exterior of the fish was extra crispy compared to others that I have tried. All the tacos had great toppings and flavours Dessert - Churro A classic mexican dessert that I always get! You cant go wrong with churros read more

A bit hit or miss but even when it's a miss, the tacos here are still authentic. This ain't your classic Tex' Mex' style taco joint, Ay Caramba serves up tacos the way they're meant to be served, on small, soft corn tortillas with beautifully stewed proteins topped with the same ingredients you'd find at a taco stand in Mexico and not at Taco Bell. read more

OMG! Hidden Gem! The best taco restaurant in all GTA. It makes you feel in Mexico since you enter the place till you eat the last bite of teh taco! Place: A clean cozy small place, incredibly has a great architecture and details. In the TV is a video with details of it's culture and you can even find real mexican wrestlers masks! Fav dish: It's hard to decide, but I can say Fish Taco, Brisket Taco, Alambre Taco, Carnita and Poyito. The mini-churros are so good too. And tamarind water was the best buddy for my tacos. Flavor: A real mexican flavor, just as tasted in Mexico. You can feel the quality of the meat and tortillas. Maybe that's the reason of the price. Price: It's so good balanced, (price-benefit.) First I thought the tacos were small for the price I paid, but then I understood these weren't any tacos, this are really well developed tacos, with top ingredients maybe some of them imported from Mexico and the price relfects the quality, not the quantity. Service: Warm, and highly customer experience oriented. The man at the counter was so kind, and even friendly. In my opinion, the best option for tacos in all the GTA, with a nice customer experience service, even though I got a take out order, the few minutes there were like my last trip to Mexico. My fav taco place! read more

Ay Caramba, Eh - Mexican Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Yum! Ay Caramba Eh is one of the few Mexican restaurants in Vaughan that serves up some seriously delicious food. When I walked in, I was asked if this was my first visit. They brought over menus and complimentary nachos. I decided to order the carnita burritos and the 3 amigos (3 tacos): the haddock, beef brisket, and poyito. The burrito was soft on the outside with a slight crunch from the grill. All of the ingredients inside the burrito were fresh, flavorful, and soft. There was definitely a lovely note of lime in there as well. The three tacos were tasty. The soft corn tacos were perfect, not dry nor overly wet. Similarly the chicken in the poyito taco was perfectly cooked and not dry. It was the sweetest of the three. The haddock had a nice crunchy outside, tasty, with a little sweetness to it, likely from the aioli. The beef brisket taco was was tender and flavorful. Overall, the food was great. Service was excellent. Prices are slightly high. read more

Since there are not too many authentic Mexican food in Vaughan, Ay Caramba, Eh might be the best choice if you don't want to venture down to Downtown Toronto. Love the deco! Fun and playful! Those Wrestler masks really put a smile on my face! Menu is simple but has all the Mexican's favourite: tacos, tortas and burritos. I ended up ordering the Any 3 Tacos for $11.99 as I really want a fish one! Fish Haddock Beef Brisket Tierra Picante The Mushroom taco was surprisingly tasty! I love their fresh made in house soft shells, so soft and with a good bite! The portion size though a little small for a full meal. Luckily there was a basket of complimentary tortilla chips. +0.5 star Make sure to check out their fridge for some unique imported Mexican beverages! They even have Mexican beers to go with your meals too. Staff is super friendly and helpful +0.5 Star. read more

Located at the plaza in the NW corner of Hwy 400 and Rutherford via Vellore Woods Blvd, you will find the newest hot spot in Vaughan where Carlos and team take high pride in their food quality and services. They are the sweetest and the most considerate people you will ever meet :) I felt most welcomed while I was there. Ay Caramba, Eh! serves fresh, hearty and delicious Mexican/Latin American foods with a Canadian twist. (Love the 'Eh!' in their name lol). They offer specialty products and beverages too. Try their frizzy Yoli drink! But just to warn you... it is a 1/2L bottle, so be sure to share with a friend! I really enjoyed the food and I am really thankful that the food is not greasy nor sloppy nor saucey (unlike other Mexican restaurants I have been to). The 12 foot long carnita (pulled pork) burrito was packed with fresh ingredients... and with their mild dipping sauce... I'm in heaven. So far, they are carrying a simple menu with tacos, tortas, burritos, nachos and extras on the side. Weekend features items not on the menu including the fish tacos - the flavours are incredible! The fish was on the small side but Ay Caramba! (it mean "OMG" in a good way!) it was delicious ^^ Their tortilla chips are especially good. Freshly made and you have 3 choices of dipping sauces - spicy, mild and guacamole! Had to get a side order to take home with me! They normally season it with salt... you can opt out the salt because it taste great even without IMO. I like it a lot ;) Keep up the great work! read more

This will definitely be my new go to for tacos. The tortillas are so fresh , I love how they give you a lot of filling in each taco and its so affordable. The churros are so good you might want to get an order just for yourself. read more

Food: This small little Mexican joint is definitely a great place to go if you're looking to eat tacos. They have about 4 different types of tacos (chicken, vegetable, pork I believe and another one I quite can't remember) + fish tacos which are a little bit extra. They charge 10.99 for any 3 tacos of your selection or 11.99 if you want one to be fish tacos. What can I say.. fresh and authentic ingredients. I loved their fish tacos, it was really great and crispy, with light mayo based spread and lettuce. The next best one I liked was the vegetable taco (mushroom filled) and last but not least chicken tacos. A little bit filling and less flavourful than the other 2 but still really good. Would definitely come back if I'm craving tacos. They also serve complimentary nachos while you wait. Crispy and perfectly salted. Also, they have Mexican selection of drinks. Highly recommend the sangria. Service: Fantastic. Excellent authentic server and very friendly. Ran us through the menu from top to bottom. Verdict- must try Mexican joint for tacos! Definitely coming back read more

Great staff and quick service. However, the complimentary chips tasted stale. The fish taco was just ok. Carnitas and brisket needed more seasoning WI NOT be back read more

Food is maybe like a 3.5-4*? Pumped up because the girl who was working was quite friendly! Food is not a 5* though. I got a trio of tacos for $11.99 and the fish was the best. The other two - I can't remember which, but they were meat-based - although were tasty lacked a bit more salt. Portion was good enough for a light lunch. Bf really liked his fish burrito - $10.99 and said they didn't skimp on the ingredients like fish, guacamole, etc. I think the burrito was better in value as I still had a bit of room after the 3 small-ish tacos. If you can't take the heat, there aren't that many non-spicy options. Even the 1 veg option, mushroom was spicy. Both sauces that came with the complimentary nachos were spicy. Prices and quality of the food is GOOD! They even make their own drinks (hibiscus, horchata, & tamarind) which I always look for. I'd go back to try other flavours and maybe the burrito, if I were more hungry! Place itself is quite casual - no washrooms? - and chairs were meant for short stints, a.k.a. very uncomfortable. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for almost a year and I'm so glad I was finally in the area last week to check it out! A small shop tucked away in one of the plazas across from Vaughan Mills, this place was fully seated at around 7pm. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait long because the turnover of tables was relatively quick. My boyfriend and I weren't that hungry so we shared 3 tacos (brisket, fish, and beef) and an order of tacquitos. The food was delicious!! Our collective favourite was the brisket, it was so tender and juicy. They were generous with portions and the prices are fair. I love Mexican food and I honestly haven't found any place that's comparable to here in the GTA. Noteworthy, the lady (who presumably is the owner) handled her restaurant services very professionally and gained my respect that night. Our order had somehow been lost in the kitchen and we hadn't received our tacos for about 30-45 minutes while 3 other tables had arrived AFTER us, ordered, eaten, and left already. We waited patiently but and the lady noticed we were in a bit of dismay so she apologized, followed up on our order, and offered to refund us the price of the tacos. She recognized the fault of her business and immediately took action to remedy it. Great customer service! I would 100% come back in the future for my taco fix and I'd definitely recommend friends to come check it out when they're in the area. read more

We came here on a Friday night and there was a good flow of traffic coming in. Some sat down and some did take out. The place is a bit small with about 7-8 tables and 1 bar table that sits 2 people. You order your food at the cash and pick a table to sit. We ordered The 3 amigos $11.99 Fish Haddock[3.5/5] - This one was my favourite out of the 3. I really enjoyed the chipotle aioli sauce. It went very well with the fish. I would have liked it if the fish was crispier and if there was more toppings and a little lime juice on top would've added a nice touch, but we weren't provided with any, and I had also forgotten to ask. Beef Brisket [3/5] - Nice and tender with a little punch of flavour. Good portion of the meat. Again would've preferred a bit more toppings. Carnita [3/5]- Tasted similar to the beef brisket. VERY juicy, it was dripping down my hands. The lil burrito - Fish Haddock - $10.99 [2.5/5] Was a little disappointed with this one. We had them cut it in half for picture purposes. Right off the bat I noticed the burrito looked a little plain, I didn't notice the lettuce.. nor did I taste it. The burrito was very mushy, with the rice, beans, guac and cheese, it would've been nice to have the crunch element from the lettuce, pico de gallo or fried fish but there was none. The fish, was again not crispy. In the description it says it comes with pickled japapeno but I didn't taste any. There were 2 small pieces of fish in there but honestly the flavour was not there. I didn't even taste the chipotle aioli in the burrito that I enjoyed so much in the taco. This was definitely a missed in my books. For $11, I would expect more. Chips - Free Was a nice touch. We also order gauc on the side for $2.50. Guac was good. Service [4.5/5] Although the food was okay, their service was really what won me over. The woman who I can only assume was the owner was very friendly. During my meal, there was a party of 6 sitting in the middle of the restaurant. They had ordered before me and I noticed their food came after mine. The owner was very apologetic and even said to the group, let me know if you want anything else, it's on me. The party said no no it's okay and she replied with no it's okay. I know the food took long and I'm so sorry, just let me know if you want anything else on the menu. The way she handle the situation was what most owners don't do unfortunately. And I am just talking about owning up to her mistake by apologizing, not even going up and beyond by offering a compensation to the customers. Not only was the owner nice, but the other staff who was cleaning up the tables were also very friendly. Overall, the food was mostly a 3 star but an extra star goes to the service. They don't have a washroom for customers but they did allow us to use the staff one which you have to go through the kitchen. If I ever crave for tacos and I'm in the area, I will go back. read more

The owner (from Acapulco) and his bother-in-law were both dolls! Indeed top notch service with a side of warm hospitality. Service, price point and location (not in Downtown) are definitely better here than Seven Lives. Loved the vibe of the place with beautiful artwork, Lucha Libre masks and lively Hispanic music playing in the background. I would definitely come here for the chorizo and the smoky chipotle sauce; but for more exotic offerings, I would go to Seven Lives. read more

Rating: 4 1/2* for the food and the extra 1/2* for the service. After reading the review of a fellow Yelper, I needed to visit this place to see if the rave reviews were deserved. I love tacos and I find that in Toronto/GTA, it's hard to find a place that does tacos well. We went to Vaughan Mills and decided to come here for lunch. It's located by Rutherford and the 400, deep inside a plaza. The place is small with approximately 20 people. You order and pay in the front, grab a table and they'll bring you the food. The Good: The fish taco, the beef brisket taco and the beef brisket burrito are solid choices. Also the Chorizo is really good. The hot sauces are not "hot" but gives a nice kick to the food. Get it from the counter. The Average: The Carnitas are just okay. That's the only downside from the dishes we ordered. Prices are not cheap. It was nice for the workers to ask us how our meal was and see if we were okay. It was one of the better tacos in the GTA but I still think the Nahual tacos are better. #49 of 2018 read more

Small takeout restaurant that offers catering. There is limited seating for about 20 people. Good for small groups and locals. Mexican boxing masks and other Mexican themed decor full the cutesy place. Wide selections of food with a ton of vegetarian and vegan options. Free samples at the cashier. Super friendly staff. Affordable and great portions! Delicious nachos with black beans spread, salsa, and guacamole. Customizable tacos with a special for three. My cod burrito was very filling and just what I needed. Highly recommend and would go back if I'm nearby. read more

I have been wanting to get here for ages and today was close by. Wandered in with my hungry teenager for early dinner. This is such a friendly little shop. Quick service rather than table service. We were walked through the menu, ordered, and the food was brought over to our table. They even checked in at our table to make sure everything was good. Everything we had was ready fast and was delicious: Three tacos, two chicken and one steak Chips and guacamole Fanta Orange (in bottles!) Jarrito Mandarito A clean and cozy spot. We will definitely return. All in I give it five stars because if the decent price point, attentive service at a quick service and tasty food. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place!! It transported me to my beloved Mexico! Delicious!!

So before anyone jumps on me on the rating, hear me out. This is a 5 star TORONTO taco place. I know my heart beats for San Diego and Chicago tacos and there are phenomenal 5 star places there. For Canada, this ranks easily as one of the better places. Not only because it tastes good (4 star ranking Internationally) but also the service. The family that runs this place deserves 6 stars if I could give it to them. I love finding family run places that are TRULY passionate about the experience and feeding the soul of their customers. Ay Caramba does that and more. Not only did we have great service at the point of ordering... we had a wonderful and enjoyable conversation at our table with them too! Its not often we get an owner coming to the table and asking how everything went. I must be on a streak cause this is the 3rd place I've seen this (Ay Caramba, Pow Wow, Little Pebbles). So this is a fast casual spot so you order & pay at the counter and you can choose a spot to sit down anywhere. They'll bring out the tacos to you shortly afterwards. The place is SUPER clean and decorated with a variety of wooden accents. As mention, service is so good here. I honestly felt like I was welcomed into someone's kitchen. The genuine warmth and friendliness makes this spot great. The nice thing is that they're clearly from Mexico and happy to bring their culture to Canada. They're sharing the tastes of their homeland and the flavours are so good. I dont think you can come here and stay cold hearted... it's just a wonderful friendly place. Quick note about ordering... tacos are it here! They do give you complimentary nachos with several salsas. Some have serious heat but all are different and delicious. You can taste the different herbs and vegetables that gone into it. The jalapeno (green) was my favourite but the super hot pepper with sesame seeds is a close 2nd (fiery orange). The tacos are normal sized and you get to order 3 for only $10.99 or $11.99 for the premium tacos. I ate 2 myself and felt quite content. I can easily try 3 and be satisfied. Tacos are meant to be snack sized so if you want 5 or 6.. no one would side eye you for it! Carnitas - Ohhh this is a good one. Juicy, tender, highly flavourful, and packed into a nice taco bite. The bits of cilantro and cheese gives it a vegetal bright boost and creamy tanginess. 4.5/5 Fish - This is their famed taco. Batter cod with vinagered vegetables, cilantro, lettuce, and a tangy cream sauce. This was a nice bite as it had tender fish and the vibrant vinagered veg gave a nice bite. I would say that it could have been crispier as not all batter was hot and crispy. Overall, a solid taco still. 4/5 Beef Brisket - Very similar to the carnitas, beef is tender and flavourful. Not dry at all. With addition of the cilantro and onions, it adds a perk of bright flavour. 4/5 Tierra picante - Ok so don't do what I did... I underestimated this. The tierra picante is juicy sauteed mushrooms and slices of jalapeno. It's really good and tasty till the heat of the pepper seeds hit your tongue as you're chewing. Make sure you have something to drink nearby or you'll going to look like a panting puppy in the summer (aka. ME). 4/5 Chori Cheese - Another solid taco that has a lot of chorizo ground up with a bit of cheese thrown in. I would say that the paprika spice adds to it overall. I personally like the Carnitas the best but this one is a nice complimentary one. 4/5 Horchata - The only thing tried that wasn't amazing... I think the rice they used had an interesting herbally note to it. It wasn't prominent till the end. I do appreciate how it wasn't too sugary and the cinnamon was light. Still I can tell it was homemade and appreciated it. 3/5 Much love to the owners of Ay Caramba. Your passion and care won us over. Your tacos are equally as good as the warmth you bring to Vaughn. Im glad to have found this place and hopefully others will find it too. read more

Popped by this hole in the wall when a taco craving hit - we got a combination of chicken, carnita, chorizo and mushroom tacos (3/$10.99). Although they looked small, they were quite filling and delicious! A complimentary plate of fresh tortilla chips were also served alongside the tacos, bonus! The employee taking our order was super helpful by recommending his favourites after mentioning it was our first time and the owner followed up with our experience at the end of the meal. It's always amazing to see local businesses that truely care for their customers. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Ay Caramba, Eh - Pulled Chicken, Carnitas and Mushroom tacos - Mexican Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

I've been here a couple of times and this place is great! Really reminds me of the awesome Mexican food I used to get in San Diego, right across from the Tijuana border. Small and cozy place with only a handful of tables. It's towards the end of a strip mall so a little hard to find. You order at the front, go have a seat, and they bring the food to your table. The staff are very friendly and are patient explaining the different types of meat options. The food is excellent here. When the nachos are home-made, freshly fried, and come with the red and green salsa, you know it's authentic (no, they don't serve Tostitos tortilla chips with Old El Paso Thick'n Chunky salsa here)! I've tried tacos with various meats, burrito, quesadilla, nachos, and they are all delicious. The burritos, quesadilla, and nachos are quite reasonably priced. However, the tacos are quite pricey at $13 for three small pieces. I could easily eat 6 of these tacos and still be hungry, so best to order a burrito or torta as well, as those are more filling. Overall, the food quality is great, most items are reasonably priced, and service is super friendly. Will continue to come back whenever passing through the area. read more

Great Tacos with individual care for each one with distinct taste. Authentic with great drinks

The tacos were alright but I absolutely hated their tortillas. Maybe I shouldn't have ordered soft shell tacos?! I don't know. I liked the chicken tacos a lot unfortunately most of their options are made with pork which I don't eat. So it's just something to keep in mind. The tacos were small but they were not expensive so I guess it makes sense. I really liked the individually packed toppings though I thought it was great to be able to add only some and not the others. The guac was good probably the best part of the meal read more

Really enjoyed the vegetarian nacho!!! The portion size was great for sharing or eating alone as a meal. Nachos were so crispy and the toppings were flavourful. I was afraid the peppers would be too spicy but they weren't. Thoroughly enjoyed it. read more

It almost hurts me to leave this review as the service was so great. I've had this place bookmarked for a while so my bf and I were excited to try this place out after we went to Winterfest at Canada's Wonderland. The lady at the counter greeted us with a big smile and was helpful narrowing down our choices. We arrived about 40 mins before closing but you could tell she didn't mind at all! We chatted for a bit before we placed our order so that made us more comfortable. A for service! We both ordered the taco trio. I had two beef and a fish and my bf had one mushroom, one beef and a fish. We also order chips and guac to share. The food arrived pretty quickly and it looked good! The flavour however, for us was underwhelming. the beef was a little bland without the hot sauces and the fish just wasn't up to par with what we're used to. My bf wasn't impressed with the mushroom tacos either, I tried them and it really just tasted like sauteed mushrooms thrown on a corn tortilla. The chips were fresh but the guac was below average, just bland in taste. I doubt my bf would want to go back but I'd be open to trying another option! read more

What.... where did my review go... anyways. This place definitely needs a review. Yay: - Great mexican flavours. Reminds me of mexican food in San Deigo - Used to have a nice extra with pretty freshly baked/fried tortilla chips but looks like they don't give them out anymore - The salsa sauces which look home made is very tasty - The Horchata is yummy too we get it everytime. - Love the corn torillas which is a little more firm but I like it. Gives it the mexican taste and texture! Nay: - Maybe a little further away but near Vaughan Mills - Could have better vegetarian options but this is just knit picking read more

First off, the service at this location is amazing. They really make you feel welcomed when you come into their restaurants. They even went the extra step and explained how their menu worked! They worked hard to try to use your name during your stay there so definitely a plus. Got the chicken burrito, three tacos and nachos. Definitely no regrets here as they all tasted awesome. If I can make a recommendation, the Haddock taco was perfect! Surprise, surprise, they also sell alcohol (Corona and Modleo) which is a totally cool plus to have in a Mexican restaurant. Overall, the food is awesome, service was amazing, and once again the service is amazing. Must recommend to anyone! read more

Great tacos that reminds me of Mexico and San Diego. The Mexican soda was a pleasant surprise. I suggest to get the non alcoholic Sangria. The fish taco was my favorite and you can tell the food is made with love. You get a really good portion of meat when you get the carnitas and beef brisket. So happy we don't have to travel all the way downton just to get real tacos. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try this place out because of the great reviews. We ordered two of "the three amigos" (6 tacos in total). There were 6 options of tacos but we both ordered one chori cheese taco, one beef brisket taco and a carnita taco. Additionally we order 4 tacquitos (chicken). The restaurant is very small and the seats are very squished- but it's still cosy. So you walk into the restaurant and go to the counter to place your order and pay. We were given a table number to bring with us to our table of choice and free nachos with a mild and hot sauce! The nachos were amazing and fresh. I should also note that the restaurant was nicely furnished and clean. The tacos arrived to our table within 10 minutes. The chori cheese was spicy and amazing! I would 100% go back for it. But the other two tacos were pretty mediocre. I loved the corn taco shell, just how my Abuelita makes it. Our taquitos arrived after we finished our tacos and it came with fresh guacamole, they were pretty good. To drink I had a mango jarrito which is good with pretty much everything! Overall, it was a good first experience. I will definitely be back for some chori cheese tacos and nachos! read more

Ay Caramba, Eh - The 3 Amigos Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow! Do you know how to spell Mexican food when you're in Vaughan? Simple - Ay Caramba, Eh! So why am I so emphatic about this remarkable hidden gem located in the back of a plaza which most restaurants would fail in? Because they do authentic street-style Mexican food... simply and do it well. No frill, no weird fusion like Korean beef tacos. NOPE! Just simple true ingredients that real Mexican people would use to feed their families! Muy Bueno! It's a small shop, with limited seating but don't let that turn you off, these tacos are so easy to eat you really don't need a seat... eat them-them the REAL way, standing up with your head tilted to the side! Then as you mow through your first 3, point at the staff and toss up 3 fingers to signal you want another 3 - you totally will. I've had every taco on the menu and I can't pick a fave. The beef, the pork, the chicken, even the fish. Light, flavourful, and always hit the spot. Other menu spotlights are they make their own hibiscus juice and other authentic Mexican beverages in-house AND even make their own tortilla chips with matching guac and salsa. It's a 5-star Mexican experience that will have you exclaiming AY, CARAMBA by the end! Eatcrest Out read more

Best tacos in GTA so far, and possibly the best tortillas in Toronto. Tacos at Ay Caramba, Eh are simple and good. Simple as in not having too much toppings, or attempting to use garnishments and secret sauces to differentiate their tacos from the competitors'. Good as in using the freshest ingredients that are properly marinated, not too salty or spicy or bland. Shredded beef, shredded chicken, shredded pork. Corn tortillas taste good. They are pedestals on which the flavours of the meat dance and shine. The flavours are well balanced. To abbreviate: think simple - a single soft tortilla wraps around your choice of meat or mushroom, garnished with a few slices of onion and cilantro. So delicious. So courageously naked. So much pride and faith in the authenticity and quality of the food. Just go and enjoy and feel. read more

It was so good. I placed an order for multiple tacos and asked them for their recommendations. I received a different Flavour of every taco. Not what I expected, usually when you ask for a recommendation you don't get everything on the menu because some dishes were are better then others. At Ay Caramba every Flavour combination was amazing and we actually had to cut the tacos into sections to share.....that's how good it was. I can't wait until the quarantine is over and we can go to the restaurant and order as much of everything as we want. Happy with everything, excited to have this restaurant in my neighborhood! read more
