    Chicken Tacos
    Shefali B.

    If I could give this place negative stars I would. We came here on a Sunday evening where were it was pretty empty, We ordered the following: Nachos - probably the worst I've ever had, they were so soggy covered in runny sour cream and cheese Chicken Tacos - pretty tasty, but it had a very strong chipotle flavour Shrimp Tacos- had a very overpowering chipotle flavour , so much so it was difficult to eat. Veggie Enchiladas - it was simply just grilled veggies and cheese inside a flour tortilla covered with cheese and yellow sauce that was way too runny. The water had a weird aftertaste The service is extremely slow , And to top it off, they had the audacity to give themselves an automatic 18% tip for a group more then 4ppl which turned out to be $20 for the poor service I can say with 100% certainty I will not be returning or reccomending this place to anyone.

    Don't go here for the food. I saw the reviews on Yelp and went anyway as not a lot of places are open after 10. Good atmosphere with music and band and very lively. Good drinks and vibe, so go there for that! The food on the other hand.. meh. The veggies on the tacos were turning brown/red and when they charge $25 for Mahi Mahi tacos, one expects fresh toppings. The tortilla was good and the Mahi Mahi wasn't bad, but not that great. Steak chimichanga was.. ok ... Flavourful steak but that was it. Rice and peas and other stuff inside was just "ok". Waited a very long time to be served though. Had to interrupt staff as they walked by to get menus. We gave this place a chance despite the reviews and was sadly dissapointed. Won't be returning for the food.

    3.5 Star My Yelp friend was so relax and chill while we were chowing down Tacos at Yo Amo Tacos. The interior deco does reminds me of Playa del Carmen or somewhere in a resort area in Mexico. We were sitting at the sun room area overlooking a small ravine, not a beach but I can really use my imagination! I really want a real Margarita but apparently the bartender was not in the house and no cocktails or foo foo drinks for me... (hopefully next visit!) I ended up having a Negra Modelo ($7.25) We also shared: Fish Ceviche Taco ($6) - Fish or Seafood? Tasted a little bland and the seafood was hard and dry.. I have to remind myself I am not in Mexico! Tuna Tartar Tostada ($7) - Really tasty and the condiments complimented the tuna tartar perfectly, will order again! Short Rib Taco ($6) - Meat was tender and flavoured Fish Taco ($6) - Fish was dry and mushy (Most of the tacos were really saucy and piled high with fillings, making eating a messy and tricky experience.) And for dessert, the most important part of the meal, we shared: Grilled Pineapple with Mexican Vanilla Ice Cream and Dulce de Leche ($8) - love everything! A great combination of texture, taste and presentation! Churros in a Maya Chocolate Sauce ($7) - Churros were a little doughy but love the chocolate sauce.... and the presentation was interesting! We really enjoyed our experience! A taste of Mexico up in Vaughan! I definitely will be back to have more dessert and hopefully a real Margarita next time! Salud!

    Great food, mediocre service. To start the food here was fantastic! We got the nachos with chorizo and guacamole and it was so good I was sad when it was all gone. We got a selection of tacos as well, octopus, flank steak, lamb, pork belly and beef. All were excellent but a few of them seemed to have to same fixings with just different meat. I was fine with that but others might. The flavour was excellent, all of the meats were cooked perfectly and they were really delicious and presented well. The building, well, I raised an eyebrow when we first arrived and stepping inside was a slight relief. We came in the middle of the week (Tuesday night) and it was almost empty. The service from the single waitress was pretty bad. I'm not sure if she was also cooking the food but she rarely came around for drink refills. I hope this isn't the same when the place is better. Overall I think my title says it all: GREAT food, mediocre service.

    Right off the bat: I do NOT recommend. We went here a while ago on a Sunday evening, so it was pretty empty. what we ordered was: Nachos - so soggy & covered in runny sour cream and cheese Chicken Tacos - my sister said they were good but the flavour was too strong Shrimp Tacos- my sister also said these had a very overpowering chipotle flavour Veggie Enchiladas - it was literally just grilled veggies and cheese inside a tortilla covered with cheese and yellow sauce that was wayyy too runny Side note: the water had a weird aftertaste Overall: the food was not good, and overpriced. the service was extremely slow and they had the audacity to give themselves an automatic 18% tip for a group more then 4ppl (there was 5 of us) which turned out to be a $20 tip for the awful service

    Gave this place the benefit of the doubt despite the reviews. We were a group of 3. Had 3 different tacos, the avocado, the chicken and the mushroom. The chicken was cold, the mushroom was very bland. The avocado was the best taco and was actually very good but the tacos themselves were hard. On top of that we sat near the door and they had door open the entire time we sat there. Very cold. Very uncomfortable. My friend who was with me said this place used to be a lot better back in the day, i hope they can get back to that eventually.

    EXPENSIVE with very small portions. The Wait staff is poorly trained and long wait times for food. The ignorant hostess seems to know nothing about the place and is clueless to her job. This is an easy fix for them. The prices are crazy inflated. Between $6-$9 per taco. Yes you heard me. $6-$9 for each taco. No sides or anything. They advertise an assortment of 5 sauces. They said that ran out of bowls so they bring 3 sauces in small pill like containers. Everything is super priced and the portions are crazy small. The nacho chips are store bought from a bag. The food is tasty, I give it that much but way to expensive. The only problem is that the wait staff is useless and doesnt know what is going on. Takes forever to get your drinks. Also eating off wooden planks of wood is not too appetizing as wood can never get 100% clean. The worst of all is the hostess. Not sure why the owner hired her. She is useless, rude and has no sense of restaurant operation. 2 out of 5 *** Go to Rebozos for tacos and Mexican food. $2.50/taco and the food is much much better. Good luck. To stay in business fire your hostess and get better wait staff. See attached drink menu for all of their cocktails and recipes.

    This location opened this week. It's based on its sister restaurant in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I have frequented the Playa location so have my expectations. The Playa place is basically a taco joint, albeit very good tacos. First question is will it translate well here, especially considering we won't have the same ingredients or chef up here. Both restaurants are owned by entrepreneur Carlo Parentela. He also owns Le Jardin banquet hall, in Woodbridge, which I know to be one of the best in a vast sea of banquet halls in Woodbridge. First impression. Wow! This is a Mexican restaurant in York region? The place is decked out and it's not small either. They're expecting 300 people for the grand opening tonight. It has a walk out basement into a yard with more seating. The food is on par with the Playa restaurant. Tacos were all prepared correctly, I especially liked the shrimp. All served on wooden flat plates. Ceviche could have a better balance of flavours in the marinade. The pork posole was very tender and has a potent blend of flavours. I really hope this place makes it, I know I'll be back.

    I would say 3.5/5 for this. I had a Groupon for this place where I paid approx $10 for $20 worth of food. I ordered the taco sampler which had steak, pork and fish and something else. The tacos weren't bad and I thought the presentation was lovely. It's probably one of the better tacos I've had in the GTA but not even close to Mexico but WAY WAY WAY better than Taco Bell. I really enjoyed the steak one. What I also liked was that they give you so many types of dipping sauce too. In addition, this place is gorgeous. When you drive in, you think you are parking your car into someone's big mansion parking lot with the nice statue and setup. In addition, inside is beautiful and reminds me of the large restaurants in Mexico City. So why only 3.5 stars? a) The flies. I saw some really big flies near my table and had to keep shooing them away. Not the biggest deal, but ruins the experience slightly. b) For the price they charge (even though I had a Groupon), I kind of wish they served nachos. At most sit-down Mexican restaurants, I'm used to getting nachos. I was kind of disappointed I didn't get them. However, overall, I'd still visit again and try something different.

    Mushroom Tacos
    Nav L.

    I am giving Yo Amo Tacos 1 star for food and 1 extra star for its great atmosphere. Place is well decorated and gives you the vibe of a true Mexican resort restaurant. Unfortunately the food comes up short and service is quite slow. Nachos: Nothing special; cheese not melted. Fries: Good, hot & fresh Chicken Enchiladas: Decent, not much flavor and rice was bland. Chicken Tacos: Dry chicken; pickled onions nice touch. Mushroom Tacos: Just plain button mushrooms cut and spiced lightly. Very simple and bland.

    Serious Mexico feel

    If you're looking for authentic Mexican food that actually tastes like it came straight from a…read morefamily kitchen in Mexico, this is the spot. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, vibrant, welcoming , colorful décor, lively music, and the comforting aroma of fresh tortillas. The food is the real highlight. The tacos were packed with flavor, the meat perfectly seasoned and tender, and the salsa had just the right balance of heat and freshness. You can tell everything is made fresh, from the guacamole to the house-made sauces. The portions were generous without sacrificing quality. Service was friendly, with staff happy to explain dishes and offer recommendations. It felt less like dining out and more like being invited over for a home-cooked meal. If you appreciate bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and authentic recipes, this restaurant absolutely delivers. I'll definitely be back.

They also have halal options. Spacious and free parking on site. Service was quick and friendly as well

It was great value since one roll is already almost that price & different from all the other sushi places. Only one sushi dish seemed to come with raw fish though. We tried all the non vegetarian sushi except camarones a la diabla which was supposedly the spiciest of them all. They get 4.5 stars. Angie roll was pretty good though it sounded more flavourful than it was. Birria roll was decent; I like Birria but this was not that good & the dip was dilute. Banana roll was good; the banana flavour went surprisingly well with the roll. Marielos roll was decent. Luigi roll was pretty good & barely spicy. Rock shrimp was good. Caramel shrimp was good but rock shrimp was better. Both came on rice. Toronto roll was decent; the spiciness did not compliment the dish. Guamuchilito roll & Carne asada roll were pretty good; I liked the crunch of latter & it had tasty beef but it was tough. Tatito og roll was pretty good: the cheese flavour came out more than in most of the other rolls. Miguel roll was the cheesiest & creamiest roll & pretty good. Aguachile mango roll was a cold dish & very spicy despite having only 2 chilis. It wasn't good. Princess roll was a bit bland with too much rice to other ingredients but otherwise good. It was very big & not spicy despite having 2 chilis. The creamy corn dip was good. Avocado special roll was decent. The spiciness creeps up on you. It seemed to be the only item with raw fish. The staff were overloaded & service was slow. The soy sauce compared to Japanese soy sauce was same same but different; lighter, with a fruity edge. The rice was heavy - it seemed to be glutinous. Tres leches cake (not in the buffet) was pretty good & big for $15.

Their parking lot…read morewas very tiny, I was thinking how do people even get in and out of there because it was so compact. But there's a bunch of street parking and neighborhood parking by the restaurant. We got seated pretty quickly. Their menu is very large, it took us a while for us to decide on what to get and also to flag down a server. They had many large parties, even a birthday party on a weeknight which I understand. Also it's very spacious in there too, there's many tables for large parties and small ones. All the servers that took care of us were very friendly and helpful. I ordered four Carne Asada tacos and my boyfriend got the Chicken Fajitas with cheese on top. I also ordered a Pinada drink. The chips and salsa we had to start was good. The chips were crunchy, lightly seasoned, and crispy. It was fun trying out the different salsas to see what we liked the best. I enjoyed my Carne Asada tacos. Granted, I am from California and grew up with good Mexican food so I have very high standards. These tacos weren't the absolute best I've ever tasted, but they were tasty. Also for a single taco, it would've been $7. So seeing that much for a single taco was crazy to me, as I'm used to $4 (USD) ones. However, the carne asada meat was delicious. I think for me, I wish it had a little bit more onions and cilantro to give the overall dish more flavor. My Pinada drink was great. It was creamy, delicious, pretty much a Pina Colada without the alcohol. I loved it. All in all, we enjoyed our time here. For the area, this would be a solid choice to get authentic tacos and mexican food. As I said before, service was great. A little difficult to flag someone down given how busy it is, but they took care of us. I'd come back.
