Huevos Gourmet

This is a great spot for anytime of day. The ambience is cozy and simple and the staff is very friendly. I had the popular dish the huevos rancheros with chorizo, which was delicious. The portion was perfect.
If you aren’t looking for brunch there are various traditional mexican dishes worth trying.

This place is absolutely fantastic! The food was delicious! Not heavy, very fresh. I had the huevos rancheros with a green smoothie which were absolutely delicious. Great flavour and the guac was fantastic! My boyfriend had the breakfast burrito and said it was the best burrito he’s ever had. Definitely coming back here!

Maybe I ordered off the wrong part of the menu?
I’ve had Huevos Gourmet bookmarked for a while now, based on the favourable reviews, but just managed to visit today while I was in the area.
There are 2 sides of the menu that consists of All-​Day Breakfast and a more Mexican-​inspired «All Day Lunch» menu.
(To be honest, I’m not really a fan of All-​Day Breakfast UNLESS I’m extremely lazy or hungover which the latter never really happens. It’s just not really my thing ’cause I can do this sorta thing at home, so when I’m forced to go out for a Caucasian-​style brunch, I try not to order the standards like eggs, bacon, toast, etc. It’s still difficult to wrap my head around why this is even a thing.)
So due to my disdain for going out for brekkie, I ordered off the more Mexican portion. I got the GDL Burger while my friend got to Chicken Soft Tacos.
GDL BURGER
— love the fresh, soft bun
— ingredients were fresh
— hand-​cut fries were indeed cut by hand, but they weren’t drained from the oil, so they were still shiny and soggy :(
— couldn’t taste any guac
— patty itself was seasoned well, but it was sorta dry (probably frozen)
TACOS
— I never tasted them, but my friend said they needed some crunch, more veg (shredded cabbage, more cilantro) and acid
— friend said chicken was well-​seasoned
— salsa that was included looked like it was from a jar
Based on this meal, the food was just aw-​ight. Nothing incredibly memorable, but I did enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the fact that they played Dean Martin’s «Cha Cha Cha D’amour» in the background.

A random trip to the suburbs during breakfast time left me feeling very, very hangry. I couldn’t wait to get back to the city to then line up for brunch (seriously get it together Toronto), and so proceeded to Unilocal my way into finding a decent brunch spot on the way back that wasn’t your run of the mill eggs benny and pancake.
In comes huevos gourmet. A small place located at Lakeshore and Islington (what google calls the «New Toronto» area), it is a Mexican breakfast joint. It definitely has your eggs benny and omelettes but with the seasonings and flavour of Mexico. I got the huevos rancheros, which is without a doubt one of my favourite breakfast offerings.
This one wasn’t bad — needed heat to it (but I guess this way it is more palatable for everyone), and there is hot sauce on the table for you to spice it up. It needed a bit more acid and cilantro but overall it was good and I would come back for it. It comes with a side of potatoes or salad (or get both like I did and enjoy!) and the huevos rancheros are served with buttery, crispy baguettes which is perfect for mopping up the yolks. Oh and the guacamole is fantastically good! Authentic and fresh.
The tables are very, very tiny which makes it awkward to eat at times. The service was fantastic and I loved the artwork and pictures on the wall.
Would definitely come back to try some other things on the menu to get a true rating of the place.

Great vibe, great food! Can’t believe we’ve been living so close and only just discovered this lovely place. Breakfast is perfectly sized and all the options you’d expect in a Mexican-​French restaurant. Can’t wait to try all the other options someday soon =)

One of the best brunch places we’ve been to. The food is delicious and the staff is great. The portions are really generous and –aside from the great taste– the food actually looks gorgeous with all the garnish and colour.

Great little breakfast spot on lakeshore. Very sold eggs Benny and the Mexican Benedict was awesome. Good service and overall a very welcome addition to the neighbourhood.

Very satisfying and delicious breakfast and brunch options here! My husband and I had breakfast here on Saturday morning and it was absolute perfection. I ordered the huevos rancheros and my husband had the Mexican eggs Benedict. Both options were really delicious. Their cappuccinos were decent too. Price points are fairly average and the service was good. Good choice for weekend breakfast and brunch :)

Wow. I think I have a brunch crush. I like brunch on a regular day, but I didn’t LOVE brunch until I came to Huevos Gourmet. If you want a delicious, carefully prepared, tasty, well-​priced brunch/​breakfast, served by genuinely friendly, caring staff, this is the place for you. It’s ambiance is a mix of charming and quirky. While it has massive ornament balls the size of two heads dangling from a portion of the ceiling, the eccentricity is contrasted with interesting, stylish art hung on the walls. In short, the atmosphere has character. It’s cute, it’s zany, and yet it’s humble. And it knows good food.
We arrived on a Saturday morning for brunch at 9:30 AM. We parked right on the Lakeshore, right across the restaurant, where parking was $ 1.00 an hour. The restaurant was moderately full when we arrived, but we were cheerfully greeted and given our choice of the remaining tables. Our server was so friendly, so warm, keeping an attentive eye on us.
We ordered: a) the Huevos Rancheros, b) the Mexican Benedict, and c) Mexican brewed coffee in medium roast. Can I just say that their guacamole is made of magic? It’s deep, fully of body, and a slice of heaven when slathered on the crunchy baguettes served with the Huevos Rancheros. I normally scarf down my food when I’m hungry, but I savoured each bite of the Mexican Benedict. It was perfectly cooked, with a nice kick, with the perfect amount of sauce. Hats off to the chef. Delicious.
For two people, with tax and tip, our total came to approximately $ 37.00. We will definitely be back.

Awesome little breakfast joint. Service is quick and friendly. Food is fantastic & just the right amount of spicy.
We’ll be back!

Awesome brunch place. Food is consistently delicious, and fast. Cozy and friendly. Highly recommend

Delicious food, we both finished everything on our plates. Décor was romantic yet cute, enjoyed our late Sunday brunch as it was served all day.

I hardly ever give five star reviews, but even I couldn’t find anything to complain about here. Not surprisingly, the menu is Mexican-​inspired, but it was nice to find an ambience that matched. There was a charming old-​world feel to this little café that differentiates it from many of the cookie-​cutter hipster brunch joints that have been popping up as of late.
Our server was very nice, and took the time to help us make our brunch choices. Everything on the menu was around $ 10, which is pretty much a steal for a decent brunch these days. Traditional Mexican dishes like huevos rancheros, burritos, and tacos dominated the menu, but there were also more common breakfast offerings like eggs Benedict and omelettes for those not willing to venture out. I ended up getting a burger off the lunch menu, as recommended by our server. It was topped with guac, cheese, bacon, and chipotle mayo and the meat was amazing. Tasted more like a steak or prime rib burger than ground beef. They also let you get half fries, half salad for your side for those who can never choose or who like to have the best of both worlds.
I highly recommend this cute little brunch spot, for its ambience as much as for its amazing food. The server mentioned that it can be hard to get a seat on the weekends, so don’t be surprised if you have to wait but I assure you it is worth it!

Great place to eat! Loved it!
Would definitely go again. Had a quesadilla for breakfast and it waz incredible

What a pleasant surprise! Since moving to the area I was bummed that there weren’t many local breakfast/​brunch spots in the area. Not there aren’t good ones, but with so few, once they’re busy, you’re pretty much stuck waiting.
Driving west on lakeshore near islington, you’d likely judge the area and assume there isn’t anything worth stopping at, and truth be told, I’d seen the sign for this spot in past and not given it a second thought.
This past weekend when the brunchies hit, I opened Unilocal and came across this spot and actually stopped to read the reviews and look at the pictures. It looked amazing so we figured we’d be adventurous and give it a try
We arrived shortly before 10am on Sunday and were seated instantly (Good timing too because the restaurant seemed to get packed within 20 minutes of our arrival). It’s a super small place with Maybe 20 seats. The menu is as you would expect, Mexican inspired takes on traditional breakfast items.
My girlfriend had their signature Huevos Rancheros which had a healthy dollop of excellent guacamole on the side of eggs and beans served over tortillas. She loved it. I went with the Mexican Benedict which was an English muffin with guacamole spread on it before being topped with chorizo sausage meat, eggs and then hollandaise sauce.
The best part for me is that this place was the answer to my long sought after question/​dilemma — why can’t I ever get a third Benedict!!! You typically get 2 Benedicts in an order but for me that leaves me hungry still, I don’t want to order a whole other meal but I feel like a third Benedict would satiate me totally. This has bend my elusive unicorn as most restaurants won’t make you that third Benny. Not HG! Right on their menu it gives you a 2 Benny or 3 Benny option. Hallelujah!
I mean at that point they were getting a 5^th star regardless but then I tried the churros for dessert (yes dessert at breakfast!) and it solidified any minor question of whether this would be a 4.5, 4.75 or 5.
Looks like I found a new local brunch spot. Next time we eat breakfast burritos!
Eatcrest out!

good morning… GOOD morning!
well, if more mornings were done at this wonderful, establishment, everyday would be a good day.
i don’t have a bad thing to say about this place, the food is amazing and flavorful, the actual sitting area is small and intimate, and the staff are super nice, eager to help.
very well priced, considering the flavors that come with the items on the menu, EVERYTHING looks to good to try on the first go around.
defiantly end the meal with the churros… very well balanced and not heavy on the sugar.
will be back!

I’ve only been here once and I quite enjoyed the food, definitely worth having again! But the atmosphere was bizarre, and I’m conflicted on if it’s in a good or bad way, and despite enjoying some of the art work I just found it very uncomfortable– particularly the seating. The drinks were also subpar (based on a caesar and mimosa) and the service wasn’t the best. I might give it another chance based on the food, but I’m certainly not dying to go back.

Came here for brunch and it was delicious! Huevos Gourmet offers traditional brunch menu items with a tasty Mexican flair and it did not disappoint.
I had the Eggs Benedict with crumbled Chorizo Sausage and it was soooo good. They only use free range eggs and I was drooling over the runny bright orange yolk oozing out. Side salad also tasted fresh and the vinaigrette dressing was light and not too overpowering.
Would definitely come here again to try their other offerings.

Just moved into the neighborhood and was looking for good place to have breakfast. Found this place on Unilocal and decided to give it a shot.
Parking on the street was easy on a Saturday morning.
The restaurant has curb appeal, it feels like walking into a Spanish family’s home, and the service and food reflects that as well.
I had the Mexican Omelette which was a great carb free option (pass on the bread and potatoes). It was delicious, came out quick.
Definitely will become a go to spot for me.

This place is legit! I can’t recall having such an overall satisfying meal. Toronto is filled with restaurants and it’s such stiff competition however, this place surely stands out for anyone that tries it.
It has a great Queen West vibe on Lakeshore in Etobicoke. It’s a small place but if you get stuck in a small line it is definitely worth the wait.
Start off, coffee was nice with constant refills. I took a look at the «brunch beverages» however, after the previous night all I really wanted was coffee and water. Any other brunch outing I would have tried any of them. They also have a nice list of fresh squeezed juices and smoothies.
Now, let’s get to the good part — food! I had the huevos rancheros and oooohhhhh emmmm geeee! So good! I won’t deny that I make a fantastic guacamole so I’m always looking for something with quality flavour — with the red onions, it added a really nice addition to the meal and the baguettes were nice and crispy.
I live in the area but typically find myself downtown however, this may be my new breakfast joint!
