I tried their baja fish tacos, shrimp tacos, pork tacos and chicken tacos and my favourite were the baja fish ones. They make everything fresh right in front of you - even frying the veggies. The fries with pork belly were also good - loaded with cheese as well! I also tried Jamaican water here for the first time thanks to their recommendation. This was such an interesting yet refreshing drink. Would highly recommend to those who haven't tried it. Their service is amazing and the vibe inside is great on the weekends! They had people playing local music and that was such a nice touch. Be mindful that they don't have seating area - there are a few tables right towards the end of this Latin market but it could only probably fit 10 people at once.

Located in a building with multiple food stalls is taco love. Limited seating indoor and outdoor but the turn over was fast. It is hot inside but that is because they are cooking up some great food. We placed our order and sat outside. We then ordered a Cerveza from the outside bar while we waited for our food. The staff from delivered it to our seat which was nice. Pork belly was freshly fried guacamole tasted like it was just made. Tortillas were delicious overall I definitely have been thinking about this Chicharron and guac since I had it yesterday afternoon and I 10 out of 10 will wanna come back again.

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.

Every few minutes someone was reaching across the table saying, "let me try that." The steak sandwich was delicious. I came expecting tacos to be the star and somehow that sandwich was a hit too! The pulled pork taco was another standout. What I liked most was that the food wasn't trying to be fancy. It was flavourful, messy, satisfying food that you're fully prepared to get all over your hands. By the end there was sauce everywhere, tacos falling apart, and absolutely no concern for table manners. The atmosphere felt fun and energetic, service was friendly, and the portions were generous. Definitely the kind of place that's more enjoyable with a group because you'll want to try a bit of everything. Already planning what I'm ordering next time.

Very close to square one shopping mall, this is a good option when you're in the area. There was one person in there working as far as we could tell when we went in this evening. We grabbed the box and some tacos. The box is a mix of rice and salad with a choice of filling (we got chicken) and it was topped with some beans, corn and chickpeas with some delicious sauce. The tacos were cool- not your typical Mexican taco with flour or corn tortilla. It was like a pita but crispy after being in the press with the filling and topped with lettuce, salsa and sauce. The sauces are a variety- some being hummus or a tahini which is where the fusion cuisine takes place. Would definitely come back.

Preparation was super quick. I ordered from the Square One parking lot before starting my car, and 15 mins later when I arrived, it was already ready. Food-wise, I'm a fan. While I enjoy shawarma, I often find it too heavy especially for summer, so I tend to stay away. I liked this chicken/rice box a lot since the sauce felt much lighter and easier to eat even when it's hot outside. The portion size was good; the styrofoam takeout box the meal came in was topped up and the amount in it would definitely be enough for one person. There was enough sauce, the whole bowl felt very fresh, and I liked the tomatoes that topped the bowl since it added something cold + tangy to the meal. Location is convenient, next to Square One and easy to find, but has limited (all paid) street parking. It's best to go with someone to drive, pop off quickly to pick up, and go. All in all a solid experience. I'd definitely come back for more Alijandro's Box. At the BOGO price I got it for, portion size was great, but at the original price, I'd think it leans towards being pricey, as the box isn't really that full. But, flavour and freshness are all really good, so I can anticipate myself craving this soon!
