I've been to 85% of the tacos spots in Toronto, so I'm always looking for new and good places to…read moretry. This Easter long weekend, Balam was the move. I saw some reviews that their quesabirria was some of the best so I had to go try it for myself! We were the only ones there, so we sat where we wanted and put our order in right away. They have a water tower, where you can serve yourself and even free self serve coffee! My friend and I both ordered the same thing. Quesbirria tacos and a fish taco. Everything came out piping hot. We had to wait a few mins before consuming. The fish was pretty solid. Super crunchy and I like the sauce they put on top. The quesabirria would have been perfect if it wasn't too salty *thumbs down*. It was just a little too salty for me but it had great flavour and texture. Consommé was good too but I wish there were little pieces of meat in it lol. You know, like some fall off the bone meat! Overall, we were satisfied but probably not a spot we would return to. The service was great and I appreciate what they're doing here though! It a a great spot for the neighbourhood. Thankfully there was Green P street parking right in front. It was $4.50 for an hour and 15 mins.

We were in the area and found ourselves ready for lunch. Initially we went to Sugo, but was told…read morethat it would be a few hours until we could sit down. We then walked to Sad Song, but they were closed. My husband said that he wanted tacos so I found Balam after searching this area on my phone. I'm not sure if it's a gem, but I think we found our favourite taco place in the city. Service was excellent as well. A special mention of their guacamole. It was super fresh and so tasty! I can't wait to come back! Good for: Mexican

This is a solid spot for tacos in The Junction area. I dropped by for lunch when it wasn't busy,…read moreas the evenings, especially weekends, can be packed and lively. The space is well decorated and provides a hip ambiance. The service was friendly and efficient, making for a pleasant dining experience. The food itself was tasty and well-flavored, though it was a bit pricier than other taco joints nearby. Despite this, I found no major complaints. For those driving to the area, there's ample street parking as well as Green P lots near by. Overall, it's a good spot to satisfy your taco cravings, and enjoy some drinks!

I found this restaurant by accident. I was in the area and needed dinner so I just had google maps…read moreopen and was scanning each side of the street when MiTaco came up. The reviews looked good so it was a perfect opportunity for a new post. They have classic tacos and premium tacos. They also offer burritos and bowls. I decided to go for some tacos. Tacos are sold individually unless you get the taco combo with a side of beans a rice. I went individual because I wanted to try a few different ones. I decided on Pork Carnitas, Chicken Tinga, Ground Beef and Grilled Steak. You get the option of corn or flour tortillas. Also you choose the spice level of medium or hot. Guacamole is an extra $0.75 per taco. I skipped the guac this time. I chose corn tortillas for all my tacos. This may have been a mistake. The fresh corn tortillas was great but I had to walk a bit before I could enjoy my tacos and the corn tortillas did not hold up. Out of the 4 tacos 3 of them fell apart from all the toppings and moisture. Next time I will switch to flour tortillas if I am doing take out. I'm sure they would have been amazing if I had sat down and eaten them on the spot. Maybe the restaurant should double up on the shells for the corn tortillas? The food was super fresh on the first three tacos. Meat was tender and the crema sauce was perfect. The only downside was the grilled steak taco. I found the taco a bit dry. The flavour was great though. I will come back and hopefully next time be able to sit down and dine in. The place has a great atmosphere! Bonus element is they also have Bubba's crispy fried chicken available as well. We will save that for another day.

Was in the mood for tacos and found Mi Taco on Google maps with good reviews. There was no dine in,…read moreso we walked in to do a take out. Staff was very welcoming and the place was vibrant and more importantly, clean. Looked at the menu and opted in for the following tacos: Chicken Tinga, Vegan Chorizo & Grilled Shrimp, on corn tortilla ($4.50, $4.50 & $6, respectively), and the Orange Jarritos bottled pop (the staff recommended we try the lime next time). It was easy placing our order and we waited a bit before receiving them. Taste & verdict: The tacos were a little smaller than I had expected for the price paid, but they were loaded. The taco started to fall apart as I bit into it, but the first thing that popped into my mind was how good the corn tortilla tasted. Chicken Taco: I was a little disappointed with the chicken taco, it had shredded chicken in it which did not taste very fresh/had a very strong, and rather offsetting meat taste to it. Vegan Chorizo Taco: I did not try the vegan chorizo taco, however I was told that it tasted good but nothing particularly amazing. Grilled Shrimp Taco: Despite enjoying shrimp, I kept my expectations low after trying the chicken taco, but my taste buds were definitely in for a surprise and this taco turned out to be the best of the 3 we picked. It was considered "premium" and packed more heavily than the other 2, and had shredded cabbage in it unlike the others. It was my definitely our favourite among the ones we had gotten, and my friend who doesn't usually fancy shrimp was wowed as well, and we actually went back and got 2 more after. Overall, really good taco, but I personally feel like the shrimp tacos were a bit pricey, but it does accordingly live up to that price/standards. I would definitely go back for the shrimp taco again.

Don't come here. They described a burrito on the menu as having green peppers, guacamole, sour…read morecream, onions, chipotle sauce. Complete bait and switch. None of those things were on the plate. I asked them to fix it and they brought out a tiny side of sour cream and avocado. I mean tiny. None of the other fillings. Burrito without them was uneatable and dry and had a bad flavor. Enchiladas had a chewy texture meat and were not good. Asked for water five times no joke, and never got any. Kid chicken quesadillas have a curry essence but were good- I know since my burrito was inedible and I ate my kids' leftovers. Definitely not authentic Mexican and service will drive you crazy. Should have walked out from the start.

Got this gigantic chimichanga and some other Mexican staples from local hidden gem Senor burrito!…read more Descriptions as per their online menu: Camarones A La Diablo - Grilled marinated evil shrimps cooked in a cheesy creamy chipotle sauce served with beans, salad and two corn tortillas Pollo Con Mole - Tender chicken topped with rich mole sauce made from cocoa, peppers, nuts and spices. Served with a side of rice, beans and two corn tortillas You guys I've always wanted to try mole sauce, I could actually taste the cocoa in it !!!! Just the right amount and not too overpowering balanced out with nutty, spicey flavours as per the description above. Such a unique and cool flavour definitely a must try if you have never tried it before! The shrimps were super creamy just as promised and the burrito was sooo good and filling. From the minute I picked up my order the fragrance was tempting and I knew we were in for a treat! Some time did pass between picking up the order and us eating and for that reason the chimichanga was a bit soggy (totally on us lol) so I would recommend eating it hot as soon as you get it so you don't miss out on that amazing crispy goodness. Can't wait to go back and dine in soon in their super cute and authentic dining room. Check them out y'all!

I paid roughly $12 for the regular sized burrito. The place is a bit small but has plenty of seating available! I came at 4pm on a Monday and it was quite busy with only one person working the register/making the burritos. Luckily, wait wasn't too long. My overall experience was that I enjoyed it. They do have other food options available such as burrito bowls and tacos!

Really disappointing experience. My sister and I came in to order food, and from the beginning the…read morewoman working behind the counter was unnecessarily rude and condescending. My sister asked for lime wedges on the side, so I asked the employee if we could get some. She immediately started laughing in my face and said, "Yeah, no, we don't even carry that," with a really snarky, almost mocking expression. Obviously, not having lime wedges isn't an issue, we had no problem with that. It was the attitude and the way she chose to respond that was completely unnecessary. While we were waiting for our food, I was simply reading the signs on the wall, including the one for the street corn. Out of nowhere, she loudly said, "Are you good?" in an extremely rude and judgmental tone. I was genuinely confused because I was literally just standing there reading the menu/signs. I even had to turn to my sister and ask if I was hearing things correctly. I then asked the employee directly, "Excuse me, are you talking to me?" and she said yes. I told her I was good and asked if she was good, because I couldn't believe the way she had just spoken to me. There was absolutely no reason for that kind of attitude toward a customer who was doing nothing but ordering food and waiting. If you're working with the public, basic respect and professionalism should be a given. The food may be one thing, but the customer service completely ruined the experience for me. I won't be returning

After craving Mexican food, I stumbled upon this place on Google. My mom and I ordered a Wet…read moreBurrito with chicken, Enchiladas with steak, and Mex fries. It was definitely way too much food for 2 people lol. The wet burrito was really unique and overall pretty good -- I never had something quite like it before! Though I will say, through this experience, I have realized I prefer my burritos with a crunchy/toasted exterior rather than one that is soggy/drenched in a tomato-based sauce (salsa?). It is massive, kind of challenging to eat, warm, and comforting. The enchiladas were also pretty good but a bit too salty for my liking. Perhaps they accidentally overseasoned the steak that day. The rice and beans added a nice touch to the plate. I never expected to say this, but the Mex Fries ended up being my favourite of the dishes. They were so crispy, hot, and deliciously seasoned! It was the only thing we were able to finish at the restaurant! Finally, the owners definitely deserve a shout out. They are exceptionally friendly, courteous, and quick with their service. You can tell they take pride in their food! This made dining in an overall pleasant experience.
