    Baja taco (L) and bulgogi taco (R)
    Maggie D.

    Must try the fajitas! Went to Wilbur Mexicana for the first time and I regret not coming earlier. Loved the atmosphere. They had a fantastic sauce bar! Everything we ordered was delicious. The baja in the baja taco was huge. I really appreciate that the tacos came with chips and the fajitas came with guacamole.

    Fish tacos! Good, but better with some hot salsa from the salsa bar.

    This is a great spot! I was a little hard on them at first, telling my hubby "I've had better tacos" being the "taco connoisseur" that I am (I take tacos very seriously, lol) but after having tacos at another establishment the following day, I reflected a lot on Wilbur's. The fish tacos, topped with delicious chipotle mayo hits the spot! Two tacos filled me up nicely. The fish was massive, almost overpowering the tortilla, but somehow the tortilla never broke. I would suggest that they use a double tortilla. I am not a huge corn tortilla fan, (I prefer flour, think El Camino style in Ottawa) but they did it nicely here. Their salsa bar was amazing, so many great salsas to choose as well as a massive stand of hot sauces to try. Service was amazing and so friendly. I appreciate that they asked if there were any allergies (which there was), and how patient the cashier was. You are given a table number sign and its up to you to find a seat, which was the only downside: The seating!!! While there are a few tables outside, and some inside, it was a full house the night we went, and sat on a bench outside until we could scope out a table (which luckily we found one) Great place, amazing friendly vibe, memorable tacos. Check it out!

    I like frequenting Wilbur's because I'm a saucy girl and love their pico de gallo and hot sauce station! I ordered the cauliflower and shrimp tacos and while they were yummy the unlimited sauces elevate the tacos. It's located on king street so I always find that they have customers but there is ample seating. The service is quick and the ambiance is welcoming with large windows throughout the restaurant.

    Food: the food is great, the best part is the salsa and hot sauce bar (which you can go and chose your toppings). I generally go for the original burrito bowl and top it with salsa of my choice. Locale: Very specious, large tables with ample of space in between them. Service: Half self service place, you order when you get in, they give you a number and ask you to sit down, they deliver the food to your table. I would go here with a medium to large sized group.

    Delicious tacos

    What a fantastic spot on King west that we tried last night. The tacos were delicious. We liked every taco we tried. We got the fish, mushroom, chicken and pork. Even though I'm not a fish person, I loved fish the best. There was no fishy smell and it was crunchy and tasty. It's so unique to have so many varieties of fresh and bottled salsas. The habanero sauce was amazing and we saw that's the one that got over quickly. No surprises! The staff and service is absolutely delightfu, friendly and fast. Mike is super friendly and let us try the margarita because we were curious if marg was made in house and if it's fresh because it's on tap. It tasted delicious. Great customer service right there to let us try! The restaurant is unique in it's style and vibe. Fast casual with semi self-service. But then it's way more upscale than your chipotle. I wish them luck for their second location at liberty village.

    WILBUR MEXICANA . . I might have found my favourite taco spot in Toronto @wilburmexicana From tacos to fajitas, this Mexican restaurant has it all, along with a fresh salsa and hot sauce counter. We decided to try them out after researching for a new spot to eat at in the area. There was a line almost the entire time we were dining in and I definitely see why. The food was delicious! And I love how you can customize your food with the wide range of sauces and salsa. . . Bulgogi Taco 3.75/5 Fish Taco 4.8/5 Taco Supreme 4.4/5 Chicken Fajitas 4.3/5 Chips and Salsa 3/5

    Great Mexican joint in the King West area. My favorite part of this restaurant has to be the self-serve salsa and hot sauce bar. They have such a large variety and you can mix and match your own. Tacos are pretty standard price for downtown. We got the carne asada, bulgogi, fish and mushroom tacos as well as guacamole and queso nachos. I appreciate that they have some vegetarian options for tacos. Everything was fresh and tasted great. The way you order is that you pay an order at the front, then get a number and sit to wait for your food to be served. Unfortunately it's often very busy so there is a wait for seating unless you take your food to go. Overall, it's pretty clean and spacious inside.

    Came with my coworkers for lunch and ordered 3 tacos: - chicken - juicy chicken and creamy guacamole in a hard shell! - fish - fresh toppings balance out the crispy fish! - bulgogi - sweet, slightly charred, with a bit of a kick! Enjoyed all 3 very much, as well as the house-made chips and selection of salsas / toppings! As a spice and variety lover, I loooved being able to sample so many salsas and hot sauces! Even though it's an order-at-the-counter situation, the service was super friendly!! The staff brought our orders to our table and cleared our trays very courteously!

    Liesl R.

    The best quesadilla I've ever had! The salsa wall is an inspired touch and I loved working through a selection of them. Staff were very helpful in guiding me through gf options, lots of choice if traces aren't a problem. I wish I was more local so I could visit again and again!

    Spotted this place as we were walking by and decided to come try it out! The inside was surprisingly super nice, clean, and more upscale than we thought it would have been for a fast casual place. We got the taco supreme, carne asada and the cochinita pibil tacos. Our favourite was definitely the carne asada; the meat was cooked pretty well and the addition of the crispy onions on top made it even better. We were disappointed with the other two tacos but they were still decent at their price point. The star of this place is definitely the self serve salsa bar and hot sauce bar with so so many different options to choose from! My favourite is the pineapple salsa :)

    Bulgogi, Fish
    Jamie K.

    Absolute go-to in King West. Busy busy spot but always reliable tacos. Literally always get the same thing -- bulgogi and fish with a side of guac. The vibes are amazing -- all the hot sauce and salsas at different spice levels make this a spot to really make yourself a taco!

    What a gem! We were in the mood for something different and this was it! From the outside, this place is so unassuming but the vibe inside is so chill! We went on a Thursday night and it was packed! This actually made us excited because it was obvious this place was good! I got two tacos, one carne asada and one beef bulgogi and OMG! Both were absolutely flavorful and fresh! The chips were so crunchy and fresh too! The queso was so creamy and perfectly spicy (beware if you're sensitive to heat because it has a bite). My mom got the bowl and loved it! The ingredients looked super fresh and colorful! The service was spectacular and the food came out pretty fast considering how busy it was! I highly recommend!

    Only dined in once (pre-covid) and had a great time at their salsa area! Since then, I have ordered delivery several times. I think I have tried most of the tacos and enjoy them all, without having a specific standout favourite. If I were to order only 1 thing, it would be the sweet potato burrito bowl! I bet it would taste even better fresh with crunchy fries.

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.

    The food was awful. I ordered the vegetarian enchiladas, and I've never had enchiladas served with…read moreraw zucchini and carrots. On top of that, the entire meal arrived cold. It got worse. 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.

For the two of us, in total we got between 8-10 different dishes to try plus 2 desserts. This is what we got: 1. 1 oyster each (phenomenal) 2. bluefin tuna tiradito - amazing, goes so well with the strawberries. My husband doesn't like strawberries but he loved this dish 3. scallop ceviche - a little disappointing, I specifically requested this because of others recommendations but it was just okay, the scallop was overwhelmed by the sauce 4. empanada oaxaquena - so good! love it with the sauce it comes with 5. tomato and cucumer salad- tasty and refreshing 6. scallop in green garlic butter (1 each) and bone marrow / shrimp. This comes with 4 tortillas so you can make tacos. This was my favourite dish! 7. fish (i think this is off menu) - but it was very juicy and this was my husband's favourite dish 8. pork secreto al pastor - came with 6 tortillas so you can make tacos. delicious 9. coal roasted sweet potato - this was just okay, probably our least favourite dish Dessert (both good): 1. Tres leches cake 2. Spiced mexican chocolate

    We weren't able to get reservations online but read on their website that they had daily walk-ins…read moreso we lined up early before they opened. It seems their walk-in availability is limited to one table. We gave them our number and went to get a drink somewhere else. I got the call that a party of three had canceled so we hurried back from a bar around the corner. They stuck the four of us in the far back corner at a table meant for three very close to the very hot oven. We did not realize and it was not made clear to use that everything on the menu was meant to be family styled. We ordered drinks and they took a really long time so they gave us each a glass of complimentary champagne which was nice. The food itself was delicious and we enjoyed everything. I would just note that this is a place meant to be family styled and make reservations beforehand or show up an hour early if you want a guaranteed walk in spot.

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.
