    Ordered takeout off of DoorDash and it was worth every penny! Great value and really good flavour. I didn't enjoy the horchata but it was also my very first one so I'm not sure what it's supposed to taste like. The chips and guacamole was amazing and the burrito was perfect. The order was done quickly and got to us in good condition. No complaints!

    I was walking down queen and I saw this little spot!!! I was so excited to see a taco spot like this open in the neighborhood. It's a short but straightforward menu. Fewer selections are offered so something I would want like shrimp were missing but that's okay. We had the fish, carnitas and chicken tacos as well as the mushroom and fish quesadilla. We were both happily devouring our food on the outdoor tables so no need to show the old vaccine passport. I had wanted to try the chilorio and even the guacamole and chips but sold out. And it's conveniently by Craig's Cookies so of course we went there .

    Really good tacos, burritos, and quesadillas at a great price. Huge portions, fresh, and tasty. Service is counter service, friend and efficient. We usually get takeout but there is bar stool seating and tables outside. All self service. Enjoy!!!

    What a gem. Very casual spot with high top shared tables and stools. Big menu with lots of options. Friendly friendly staff, fast fresh prepared food. Wish we lived closer, I'd be here often.

    I loved this place, reminds me of the tacos I had in CDMX and for a reasonable price for Toronto. The place is simple but it has the charm of a local taco place, what is they are going for. Good service too. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Asada / Grilled steak Torta- Delicious
    Bryan R.

    Loved it! Drove past a million times but first time at Gus Tacos. Place was pretty busy but moved the line well. Staff were excellent and helpful with menu. Ended going with the Asada / Grilled steak Torta which tasted absolutely amazing! Will most definitely be back and would like to try some other items.

    And so the location that once had a very seedy bar, a greasy Chinese restaurant, and Ravi Soups is now Gus Tacos. Welcome to the hood. Gus Tacos is a family run business with a couple of other locations. There are several protein fillings that you can get in tacos(tortillas made in house and delicious!) quesadillas, chilacas, tortas, or burritos. There is also a top notch guacamole/chips combo. It's fresh, made in house , and the service is efficient and friendly.

    Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas, Chicken

    After having driven past Gus Tacos for a while, I finally decided to try it out. It's on the pricier side with $5/taco (even though the tacos are on the larger side). I tried the Beef, Barbacoa, Carnitas and Chicken. The tacos were fresh and the tortilla was light and thin. The meat servings were generous and you can tell the focus wasn't to add a lot to it. Basic garnishments and sauces only. They give sauces on the side and the hot sauce is amazing!! My favourites were the Barbacoa and Carnita! I wouldn't order the steak or chicken again. Giving it 4 stars due to the price, otherwise a great spot to try fresh tacos!

The place is a bit small so it can be a bit tight so I would highly recommend having reservations if you have a large group. Tacos: The soft and the crispy tacos were both delicious. The tinga chicken and the beef barbacoa were juicy and full of flavour. The portions was fair, the quality was a standout and tasted quite authentic. Overall, I really had a great experience at Playa Cabana, totally would come here again to try out their other dishes.

When I went to the basement washroom, I swear I saw what looked like the end of a mouse's tail sticking out from under the door. Needless to say, I completely lost my appetite. When the waiter asked how everything was, I told him honestly that it was terrible. I had only taken two bites, and there was really no response. I wouldn't have wanted a replacement anyway after that experience. I also had some fruit bites, and about 10 minutes later my stomach started gurgling. By the time I got home, I felt awful. I was shivering, felt like I was going to throw up, and had to rush to the bathroom. It honestly felt like food poisoning. And I still paid for my meal Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place.

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.

Quetzal was recommend by our server when we were dining at a Vancouver Michelin restaurant (Barbara), as our server was originally from Ontario. So of course we saved it on our list for when we visited Toronto. Very very accommodating staff and attentive. All the tables next to us seemed to really enjoy their meals as well. Every dish was amazingly flavoured and presentation was on point. Atmosphere was lovely too, laid back but chic. Comfortable yet elevated. Highlight was the scallops, we asked for it to be included on our set menu, and they delivered. Can't wait to go back!

    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.

We asked for a better table with some room and the waiter said he couldn't accommodate us. 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.
