I've had some pretty mediocre horchatas recently, so I really appreciated their perfect sweetness, perfect consistency, rich horchatas!!

We opted for…read morethe tasting menu, and every course showcased incredible technique while allowing the ingredients to shine. The bluefin tuna was pristine, buttery, and incredibly fresh, while the char-grilled octopus was perfectly tender with a beautiful smoky depth of flavor. The ensalada verde was bright, crisp, and refreshing, offering a perfect contrast between courses. The standout for me was the hanger steak, cooked beautifully and paired with a rich peppercorn sauce that elevated every bite. Beyond the outstanding food, the service was impeccable--attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced without ever feeling intrusive. Quetzal is a Michelin star experience that lives up to the acclaim, delivering bold flavors, refined execution, and genuine hospitality. An unforgettable meal and a restaurant I would gladly return to.

I've been wanting to try Quetzal for years because my brother has raved about it nonstop, and it…read moreabsolutely lived up to the hype. 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.

I came here for a last min dinner on a Thursday and it exceeded my expectations…read more There were a few empty seats when we got there at around 6:30 but it started to fill up shortly after. The inside was nice, it was dark with ambient lighting and decorated with a modern and Mexican theme. The waitress was super nice, and the staff were fairly attentive. We got the chips and guac to start. I do wish they gave a little bit more walk because it came in this really small cup so we had to go light on the guac to chip ratio. But overall the guac was yummy and the chips were very crunchy with a nice seasoning. They have a special every day of the week and Thursdays are there crunch tacos, which are hard shell tacos, wrapped in a soft shell taco with some sauce in between, and you can choose between their chorizo or chicken. We got one of each. I liked the chicken more but my partner liked the Chorizo. And all the toppings the perfect Fixin's. They only had three washroom stalls, which were gender neutral, and I thought they were relatively clean.

I made a reservation btw. 5 mid ass tacos and a warm beer later they still had not brought my kid his meal and when they did it had apparently been cooked the previous week. His fried chicken was basically cardboard. The place smelled like my college frat house (not good). And was absolutely filthy. Would be zero stars but the guac was not absolutely horrible. When we left the place was still at 40% capacity,maybe. Would not recommend.

The service was top notch and the place is well staffed with skilled people. In a different neighbourhood this could easily be a dive with cheap tacos, but at this location a place like this needs to be more upscale and El Pocho delivers with everything living up to a quality experience, yet having a neighbourhood casual atmosphere. Decor is rustic yet clean and nice! Food was impressive with good portions and bar was capable and well stocked. Great experience and can recommend!

Beautiful space, good food, and strong drinks!…read more Came on a Friday evening without a reso and was about to get a small table after a short wait. Each taco comes in 2 and averages around $6-8 per taco. Drinks are around $16-20 which is standard in Toronto - worth it to me as they were pretty tasty and strong. Overall had a great time and would come back. There was an issue with billing where they accidentally double charged us but after investigating, they refunded us the difference. Always check the bill!

We had the chips & dips ($14.00) to start. They were excellent. Nachos with Guac, Pico de Gallo, refried beans & salsa. They were all super tasty & so were the hot sauce that came with the table. I recommend the Chiluba Sauce...very Smokey (Pic attached). I had the Diablo Shrimp ($24.00) Fajitas with extra shrimp ($6.00). This entire meal was simply FANTASTIC! There was nothing about this meal that didn't hit the spot. The ambiance was casual with great Mexican theme decor. All in all this was excellent & a definite do over.

I also tried the tamarind drink and the mango drink which were interesting as I don't normally order sugary drinks.

After all the rave reviews I was pretty hyped to try this place but was overall a bit underwhelmed…read more The food itself was fine - I've definitely had much better tacos in Toronto, so given the mentions of authenticity in the reviews I was surprised the food turned out pretty average. The pastor tacos were pretty good but the carne asada was just average. My friend is vegetarian and they ran out of vegetarian options so they literally made him tacos out of frozen broccoli and carrots, which was less than ideal. Drinks were ok, but lacked balance in flavors. Overall the service was just too slow. From food coming out, to getting our bills, it all just took way too long. Overall this place is fine to try once if you're looking for a casual bite, but don't think I'd come back here.

Casual yet FUN late night vibes. The only thing fast food-y about them is that their food comes out in little fun baskets. The tacos are delicious! I had the fish, chicken, pork and vegetarian (mushroom). Loved them all! The fish was topped with the perfect pickly condiments. The side sauces for the taking is a nice addition! They have a condiment station of a variety of sauces (spicy, mild) with add ons (pico de Gallo, peppers, salsas) to enhance your tacos! Love the high table set up. Nice for a semi large group (each table might seat about 6-8 people). Fun, loud music and views of King West through their large windows. A must try!!
