food was great! Service was excellent! World Cup was playing atmosphere was lit. I loved getting a good taste true Mexican cuisine

Amazing food, birria tacos were juicy and crunchy, nachos were perfect. Would recommend this place to anyone.

I really enjoyed dinner with my family here on Christmas Eve. The staff were pretty friendly and knowledgeable. To make it more magical, Santa and Mrs. Claus visited and gave us candy canes. (Not sure if this was Mexitaco's doing or a happy coincidence!) (My youngest loved the churros!) read more

Yum Yum! Fresh & authentic! Ordered through Skipthedishes and they were punctual and so friendly. Too bad dine in is still closed because the restaurant vibes are so vibrant! Got a bunch of tacos, which were all delicious, my favourite being the tinga. For someone who can't tolerate spicy in general, their spicy items are ok! (It's not the type that stays and burns, it's short lived and more for the flavour profile.) Taco Tinga: Saucy, creamy and spicy. Packed with flavour! Soft chicken Taco al pastor: Nice addition of sweet pineapple to the pork taco! Taco chorizo: Drier, and crumbly pieces; spiciest of them all. Taco baja: Fish got soggy by the time we brought it home, but it was still nice! Soft fish with a soft taco Burrito de pasadillo: Mild flavours and texture is soft. Basic comfort food! Churros (free if you order more than $35 on Skip): The caramel sauce is so creamy and delectable. Not too sweet. Crunchy and chewy churros. All so good read more

Very disappointing.The smallest food portions. Might as well go to McDonald's across the street.

We had a major taco craving and decided to try this place. Bonnie had the fish tacos and I had the El-Pastor. We had plantains and some guacamole with all that. The service was very friendly and on point. The food was extremely fresh and tasty. Definitely going back. Sorry no pics as we inhaled everything. read more

So so. Went here after a bad long day! Heard their fish tacos was great however I will review on what I had. Fries with guac. Veggie tacos and veggie tostado. So so! Not the best. Beer was good. read more

We got take away tacos from here the other day. The meat and sauce were really yummy! I LOVED the decor. It would be really fun to visit after covid and have some margaritas there. The tortillas tasted homemade and I was really impressed with the flavour. I would love more options to put on the tacos. It comes with a pico de gallo but it's mainly raw onions so I don't love it. It would be great to have salsa and sour cream or something but maybe that's just an American thing. I'll be going back for sure their the Baja fish tacos! They are small but yummy! read more

I thought this place was a hidden gem but apparently pretty well known to bunch of my Instagram friends! My husband and I ordered plantains, grilled fish tacos, steak tacos, burrito, ceviche (it was amazing!!) and a sangria- all was perfect and we paid under CAD$70 including gratuity. Everything we had was simple but flavorful, nothing was overdone. Service was friendly- our server even told us be used to be a regular at the restaurant and asked for a job there because he loved the food so much. How cute is that?! We will definitely come back! read more

Came here for dinner to try their Birria tacos. It wasn't too busy and we were seated right away. Decor was nice and festive. We ordered the Birria, fish, calamari and pulled pork tacos. My fave were definitely the fish.. so flavorful and nicely breaded. May come back to try other things. They have daily specials which is nice! read more

Overall it was a good experience, I was a huge fan of the al pastor and the birria tacos as well! They were flavourful and each bite was sensational The only thing that I had that I wasn't fond of was the carne asada, everything else was good and I well plated. My sister enjoyed the churros and horchata as well! I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to take a deeper dive into Mexican cuisine, cause we all know Taco Bell doesn't count read more

Ordered take out. The bottom of the Tacos de Suadero was swimming in grease. The taco shell was soggy from the excessive grease. The Tacos de Cochinita Pibil was tasty but also had a lot of grease in the bottom of the container but not as much as the beef. Burrito de Tinga was a little lacking in flavour. Once we added the green sauce it enhanced flavour. read more

Wanted to give this spot a 5 star but ... long wait times and food was cooler upon delivery. Outside of that though ... love Mexitaco for a very authentic, fresh feel for Mexican cuisine. Our go-tos always are the shrimp ceviche tostada + guac and chips. By far our favs. A la carte, great for sharing and as I mentioned above ... always fresh. read more

I wanted to try birria tacos for a while wheni saw the video on food insider it looked amazing then I found this place, 4 tacos with consume excellent customer service it's a little pricey but the tacos were so flavourful, especially with the hot sauce if you out in consume and dipped the taco in the consume , it melts in your mouth and with the cheese oh my god, I definitely believe the hype on birria tacos, I didn't realize this place has been here since 2001, and now I found out about it better late than never overall phenomenal taco and excellent customer service read more

A few points: We got: -grilled fish tacos -bean/cheese quesadilla -chicken quesadilla -beef tacos -beef burrito -fried plantain -churro -4 beers/$10 Sunday deal 3 stars because the portions are on the small side for what you pay. One hungry person will need at least two orders of tacos plus a side to fill them up. Service was ok but seemed a bit disinterested. The churro was very very good. I recommend for desert. That was probably the dish that stood out the most. The venue itself is nicely designed and a cool hangout spot. I'm happy to have a place like this in the neighbourhood especially because there are not a ton of sit down Mexican restaurants in the east end. They definitely fill a niche. Food is fine but nothing to write home about. Worth a try but it won't knock you off your feet. You will be annoyed by the lack of parking but not much one can do about that. read more

I'm happy restaurants are trying with COVID, at the same time I wonder if the quality is suffering. My order was prepared within 15 minutes which is great. I ordered the tacos, nachos and churros and a burrito, I was not alone lol the inside was very Mexican and on a bus tiling busy street you wouldn't think that. Let's start with dessert. The churros had a great crunch and it was almost perfect, however the centre was very doughy - almost raw. I have had churros that are really light and it kinda melts. The caramel sauce was really good. The tacos were a bit of a slap in the face. I've had tacos everywhere and I make tacos. I got 2 very tiny tacos with a little bit of beef and it was very very unsatisfying. I can't believe I was served those tacos from a mexican restaurant. The nachos were pretty good. Fried chips, sour cream, pico de gallo, jalapeños, cheese and Guac.... for a Mexican restaurant, that Guac was pretty embarrassing. It looked like baby poop but anyways, nachos were tasty. I would give this place another chance, maybe it's a covid thing, maybe they were understaffed, we'll see... Keep Eating, Angela read more

Walked in to get a chicken burrito for takeout. Costed over $17 so I figured it would be the best chicken burrito of my life because it's sure the most expensive burrito that I ever bought. I also need to mention no tomatoes or lettuce was available as toppings. Cheese was extra. For that price I thought maybe it comes with tortilla chips or something. Or maybe it will be massive. Was told it would take about 10 minutes to make These guys took nearly half an hour to bring it out. Not small but not large either and no chips on the side ($17?) The taste was mediocre. Mostly just rice, beans and scarce meat. Nothing in it tasted fresh. The meat was very dry and tough and I thought to myself this chicken sucks and then I realize looking closer holy shit this is beef. I don't eat beef and I asked for chicken. Anyways I wasted most of my lunch hour waiting for this thing and eating it was a huge disappointment. Regret. The atmosphere was nice though and I'm sure they have lots of other things on their menu that taste OK. read more

Are you craving authentic Mexican food? Are you the type who would drive however far to fulfill your cravings? Before you jump into your car and make a trek to Scarborough south after reading the overall reviews... you have to ask yourself is it worth it? I've made that trip myself and honestly it's not worth it. First off the bar-like place is situated in a pretty sketchy part of Scarborough. How do you know? The No Frills across the street actually has a security guard permanently stationed at the door. I've never ever been to a supermarket with a security guard out front (Walmart greeters doesn't count). Although the place is operated by latinos I really don't get the sense that it's authentic Mexican. First off the food was generally bland. I don't think that's a word that's is typically used to describe Mexican food. I had the quesadilla de picadillo and I'm aware that it's supposed to have a beef in a tomato stew filling. But when I opened my take out box in my car it was an quesadilla island sitting in midst of a teeny tiny pond of soup. The consistency and taste reminded me a bit of a toned down version of Campbell's alphabet tomato soup. I guess the stew was too runny and they didn't put enough cheese in it to make everything stick. The quesadilla was bland. The other thing I got was the tacos de carnitas. The pork was slightly overcooked and again bland. There are definitely better Mexican options in town. Driving a bit further south to downtown or you can go the opposite way to Vaughan, I promise you your journey will be a lot more satisfying. read more

It's hard to find good quality Mexican food in Toronto. It's even harder to find a place that isn't downtown. Well thankfully a good friend mentioned this place had moved and was now in the east end. Blink and you might miss it but it's on the corner of Victoria Park and St Clair (right across the No Frills). It's small inside but they pack in a lot of tables. Went on a Friday night and the place was jumping jumping. As the night wore on it just got busier (apparently around 8-9pm there is a show Friday nights). We were finished eating by that time and stayed a bit to see if started but we ended up leaving as we didn't want to hog the table when others needed it. I wasn't super hungry so I ordered the beer battered shrimp tacos and the baha fish tacos (you get 2 of each). They were delicious. No greasy, not bland, just delicious. The owners/staff are from what I have heard are Mexican. So they know what they are cooking. The atmosphere is lively, the service is friendly and the food is GREAT. I will definitely add this as one of my regular rotations of deliciousness read more

Sorry for your loss Bloorcourt Village but Mexitaco now belongs to us East Yorkers and Scarberians *evil laugh* Hubby and I caught them during their soft opening; so they're still finishing their decor and feeling out the neighborhood. I really appreciate that their platters are two tacos each which was more budget friendly for us while giving us more flexibility in ordering other menu items. Our favorites were the fish cerviche tostada (fresh and flavorful), tinga (deliciously smoky and spicy) and deep fried ice cream (delightful flavors and textures). Tortillas are not made in house but are made fresh and delivered daily. The owners and cooks are all from Mexico City. Family run: dad is head chef, mom is hostess and waits tables, and their son is the bartender. If you want to know anything about Mexican culture ask the cool bartender, Alex, who also happens to be a fellow Yelper! We had an engaging talk about the biopic Selena (played brilliantly by Jennifer Lopez), Lucha Libre wrestling, the origins of chocolate and vanilla, all the while listening to lively Cumbia music. This is the closest you'll ever get to the authentic flavors and feel of Mexico City in Toronto my friends. Make a run for the border! read more

The servers are very nice. There were only two servers who had to manage the bar, serve food and take orders. Both guys were very friendly despite being busy. Great ambiance and felt like authentic Mexican food. Loved all the food. They have daily specials. We went on a Wednesday and the nachos were $10. The churros at the end really hit the spot. Very fresh churros with sweet caramel sauce. Delicious. Looking forward to coming again. We also ordered takeout from them during the pandemic and it was also delicious. read more

I really had high hopes for this place after seeing reviews and all the hype surrounding it during Cinco de Mayo. Unfortunately it was a dud for me. Ordered uber eats on a Friday night and the order came fairly quickly. The corn looked a bit unappetizing at first, but this was the only highlight of the meal. It was nice and creamy, and I couldn't get enough. The tacos itself were very tiny, and the quality of meat seemed to be lacking. Also zero flavour even with the salsas provided. The burrito also was lackluster, but a great portion. I love tres leches cake, but theirs was not made in house, and also was bland and not very soft or milky. I am going to blame it on covid as I understand things are harder for restaurants, but not in a rush to try it again. read more

So I ordered the ceviche ... by the reviews this spot was apparently the closest decent Mexican restaurant to my Scarborough location . The parking was tricky no street parking and I illegally parked just to get there . The food was not ready when I arrived as it "doesn't need to be cooked" . Then I payed 16 bucks (including a small tip, as I always tip even on take out) ... I get the most disappointing ceviche of my life. 1) the shrimps where whole and not even diced 2) there were 2 slivers of avacado I could barely recognize as avocados but knew that was what they were supposed to be . 3) minimal chips as the vessel to deliver the subpar ceviche .... For me not only will the 20 minute drive to this place never happen again, I just wanted others to be aware of the sub par food served as well as service . I read reviews they influence my decisions . All around a huge disappointment . COVID IS brutal and I'm not a Debby downer . Maybe it's an off night . Maybe they are struggling . But aren't we all .... That was my experience . Stay safe ;) read more

My go to Mexican eat-in restaurant. Nice and cozy. We ordered the following: 1. Carne Asada Platter. 8/10. Plate was a good portion for one person, definitely if you are hungry. Comes with marinated grilled beef topped with a jalepeno, side of grilled onion, beans, guac & 5 corn tortillas. The beef, I wish was cooked a bit more rare. It was a bit tough to cut through. 2. TACOS: - Baja fish Taco 10/10. The fish was nicely fried in a batter. My fave out of all the tacos tried. - Tacos de Chorizo 10/10. The spicy chopped sausage was bomb! - Tacos de Tinga 8/10. Flavour was a bit off for me. The chicken was nicely cooked though. 3. Alcohol - Mangonada - 10/10. Absolutely delicious!! Service was great. Food was served nice and hot. Will be coming back! :) read more

A somewhat limited review since I came in during a work lunch break (no drinks) and I went for the fajita platter (Texmex) rather than possibly more authentic Mexican items on the menu. Though the fajita platter is fairly straightforward and hard to screw up, I have to say that the meat had better seasoning on it (likely pre-marinated) than other places I've had it at. The veggies and onions also likely had prep in advance, as they were more slow cooked and deliciously caramelised than other places as well. I went with the steak which was pretty good quality, and the two others I was with went for the chicken which was a platter for two. A tip that the platter for two will save you a few bucks rather than ordering two fajita entrees separately. Another positive aspect was having authentic and spicy salsas compared to Pace-type chunky salsas. Not much else to report on, but we also shared the churros. Since we were sharing, they offered to prepare them in smaller 6 pieces rather than the 2 long ones which was a nice gesture (easier to split with 3 people). They also did bill splitting with no issue, which included the single churro order 3 ways, and splitting the fajitas for 2 on two separate bills. So far, so good, and looking forward to trying other things. read more

Great: food, ambiance and the staff's attitude Could be better: The service The food here is excellent. Our favourite was the churros--best I've ever had and large enough to share with 2-3 people. The fajitas and quesadilla were perfect and made with fresh ingredients. Guacamole was tasty, but more creamy rather than chunky. For a drink, I tried the mango mojito and it was delicious, but the alcohol seemed to be light and a double shot would be recommended. I saw some people share the portions were small and menu items expensive, but need to point out the food here is shareable and ordering multiple items for the table is encouraged. Two tacos (under $10) is pretty filling for an average person, especially if you get an appetizer to share with someone. The staff is very nice and accommodating, but it did take some time for orders to be taken, food to come, plates be cleared, etc., so expect to take your time while here and not a fast meal. read more

AMAZING TACOS!!! I love Mexican food, so when we passed this location on VP one evening, my boyfriend and I decided to try it out on a whim. It was a Tuesday evening and the place was not busy at all. The place is decorated with modest but cute decorations. The washroom downstairs is clean and has the coolest sinks (see picture). I ordered the beer-battered fish taco option that was a little pricier for only one taco, as well as the grilled fish taco option that came with two for a lesser price. All were so amazing; just spot on with the authentic flavours and perfect cook. The servers are super smiley and knowledgeable about the menu. Only thing to comment on is the lack of parking--we had a hard time parking our huge pick-up. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this place! read more

If I were to describe MEXITACO in two words: SPICE OVERLOAD I love tacos and usually don't mind a bit of spice, but I found that the taco spices here were too overwhelming--almost to the extent where every taco I tried tasted like the same slurry of flavours. Don't get me wrong, it didn't taste bad (I enjoyed it), but it lacked variety to fully please my flavour palate. Like the tacos, the guacamole also tasted like salt and a jumble of different spices. If it wasn't green, I wouldn't have even known that there was avocado in it! As for service, it was decent. Ordering was no problem and food came fast, but no one was refilling water and asking for the bill required a bit of effort. Overall, decent restaurant, but will not be my go-to for tacos. read more

MEXITACO - Chips and guacamole and tacos de camarones al pastor (grilled shrimp) - Mexican Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great Mexican food. Nice little spot and the service is great. They make really good cocktails too.

Here for my friend's birthday. The party started late so it wasn't too busy. Great vibe and great service. Staffs are friendly and very helpful. Nice Mexican themed decors with Latin music. The food was A-OK. We ordered shrimp (Camarones al Pastors) and chicken (Tacos de Tinga) tacos. The portion is small, in my opinion. I've had better tacos around the same price. This is by far the most basic tacos with such a pricey price. The chicken one was subpar.. It was bland and lack of flavours. We were still hungry after but I mean, after trying their tacos, nothing else here made us want to order more. Definitely not affordable when it comes to food here! Drink selection is good tho. I ordered myself Trojo Rojo , which is beer Bloody Mary. My expectation was probably built up from all the good reviews. So if you come here with a moderate expectation, you may enjoy it more than I did. Keep in mind there is no accessible parking. We had to park at McDonald's across the street. read more

Go to Mexican spot, just wish there was one closer to me but I always try to stop by when I'm in the areas Been here a few times and always recommend to friends and when I've went with them, all had positive experiences. They don't skimp on the size and their tortilla chips / salsas come with a lot of dishes and are great. The camarones al pastor (marinated shrimp) has to be the best preparation of shrimp I've ever had. Ceviche cocktail is a go to as well. Strawberry daiquiri if you're in for a drink. Note the spicy shrimp / short ribs sauce is super hot so make sure your toilet is working the next day. read more

Amazing Mexican restaurant/bar. We were happy with the food, the atmosphere, and the service. They made this place look and feel genuinely Mexican. We had the quesadilla de tanga and the tacos de tanga and they were DELICIOUS! The taste of that chipotle sauce blended with the pulled chicken and cheese was incredible. We also tried the Nachos which were also very good and came in a good portion. Overall this place is highly recommended! read more

Had the Carne Asada quesadillas, fish taco and a chicken quesadilla. Both quesadillas were lacking seasoning and were soggy not crispy in the slightest. Very disappointed especially because of the price. Fish taco was surprisingly good, not too much breading and the corn tortilla was a nice touch. Wish they added lime and lemon in the box. For the price it was a let down. The single fish taco is 5.99 and the quesadillas weren't cheap either. Hope they work on pricing and consistency. read more

One of the better mexican restaurants on the east side! Ordered the tacos al pastor, they were very good and cheap!! the burrito wasn't the best and definitely must try the nachos and churros! The add on for the guac was definitely worth it! Also the drinks were good and decently priced! read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside and there's not much in terms of parking (though some street parking is available), but this is seriously the best Mexican food we've found anywhere in the GTA! Which is amazing because tacos have been a pregnancy craving of mine, and before finding this place, there was nowhere I could convince hubby to go consistently. Now he asks to come here. We both get the chicken tinga quesadillas (comes with a side of fresh crema) and the Baja fish taco. At first, we were annoyed that there's an upcharge for cheese and guac, which makes it a pretty expensive single taco. However, it is huge! Almost double the size of tacos from some competitors, and the fish is brought in fresh. We're full after a quesadilla and one taco, maybe a churro. When you sit down, they also bring over a little caddy of limes and salsas. They have a nice selection of Mexican sodas too. Cannot speak to the alcohol situation due to pregnancy, but they have a full bar. Overall, we find this restaurant tastier and more authentic than anywhere else we've been for Mexican in the GTA. read more
