Mexitaco

The guacamole is not bad, with fresh corn tortilla chips. Maybe slightly watery, but it was served icy cold so possibly it accounts for why it seemed a bit bland. It needs a hot day and some spicy food to go beside it, so possibly a re-​do. Grabbing food from a near-​freezing fridge might also mean they don’t make ‘fresh’ foods that often, which weakens flavor.
The chicken enchiladas en mole seemed thrown together — half-​cold and nearly empty of chicken, it seemed more like a messy bland appetizer than a $ 16 entrée. The coldness (or reheated-​ness /​unfreshness) of the tortillas made them a bit cardboardy, and not generous and toasty/​corny in texture and taste. There was a tiny amount — about one chicken wing’s worth in total — of meat hiding in the four enchiladas, and they managed to include two small bones. An outright meagre portion of a cheap ingredient.
The mole sauce was sort of OK, maybe tasting a bit like chocolate syrup, not a subtle blending of savor and spice. From a jar? And since there was nothing inside filling the enchiladas there was little to soak up the sauce with, not that I really wanted to. I still can’t believe I went there for dinner and they brought me that bizarro plate of dark brown shiny guck with so little food on it.
I really have to read other reviews & then go back to see if it was really that amazingly bad. I went in hungry and left unsatisfied, and feeling a bit unwell (it passed in a day.)

The service at Mexitaco was excellent. Found the service to be fast and efficient. My food was out within 15 mins. The food was astonishing, especially what I had to eat The Alambre and the chicken quesadillas. Also I tried the margaritas and churros. Very good! Highly recommend this place to friends and family!

From Mexico City, I longed an authentic place that I could call «my personal heaven» here it is… Not perfect but it’s delicious and in particular de drinks, salsas, and great tacos that are good and just right for me. The ceviche tostadas revived a long lost love for fish… I no longer think it’s gross I love fish again. Come here try stuff you never have tried before and be prepared for a pleasant surprise at the most reasonable price in the city I call it best value Mexican food in town. If you think you like Ceasars or Bloody Mary try Ojo Rojo!!! It will blow you away. Gabriela is an amazing host.

Closest thing to a real taco outside the state of California! Okay that may be a little far-​fetched but this place is damn good nonetheless. I’m fairly discerning so in order to impress me you gotta be really on your game. AND this restaurant did just that. Real corn tortillas and the fish taco remind me of LaBamba Taco Truck in Sonoma CA!

We stopped in recently and had a horrible experience.
The drinks we ordered tasted so horrible that we asked for some additional Clamato to add to offset the taste. The waitress gave us a lot of attitude for that small request. We ordered 2 tacos and shortly after ordering, another waitress came by confirming 1 taco– which we corrected saying we had ordered 2. We settled and said the 1 would be fine, not to inconvenience them. She gave us more attitude and said the 2 were ready and she would be right out. We waited 5 minutes and feeling very uneasy about how horrible the service and overall experience was so far, we reluctantly paid for our untouched drinks and left before any sign of a taco came out.
I never had a problem the last time we went but I would never go back. There are so many other amazing restaurants in this city and no one should settle for poor service, rude waitresses, and horrible drinks that you to pay $ 20.00 for when you hardly took a sip from.

Amazing food and outstandingly friendly service. My husband and I came here yesterday for lunch. We split a carnitas taco plate. These were possibly tge best carnitas I’ve ever had. Perfectly roasted and seasoned with cilantro and. I think green onion. The server, who turned out to be one of the owners, Alex, was pleasantly surprised to hear us ask for a tamarindo. Now it was about 2;00 and my husband was having his afternoon chai/​Vietnamese coffee craving. No problem. He skipped out to purchase a cup of chai (even borrowed the glass from an Indian restaurant a few doors down and Alex had no problem bringing it in. He chatted about Toronto and wanted to hear where we were visiting from.
That evening our friends arrived and after much deliberating over where to eat on Bloor St, we found ourselves back at Mexitaco– and quite happily. Alex’s face lit up when he saw us and he introduced us to his mom. There are only 4 tables or so in this restaurant and we were lucky to snag tge last one by the bar. Because they were so good, my husband ordered the carnitas and convinced a friend to do the same. I splurged on the sizzling steak fajitas and they did not disappoint. And our other friend, the birthday girl had the beef burrito and really enjoyed it. The margaritas were good, though I’d recommend only the lime one, and they have a good selection of tequila and beer. To top it all off, Alex brought around tequila shots for our friend’s birthday and then surprised us more with a delicious caramel chocolate cheese stuffed Mexican pastry. This restaurant is a great place and I can’t recommend it enough for its great food, excellent and thoughtful service. It really puts a neighbourly face on a big bustling city.

I love this place. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is fun and casual, and the proprietors are really nice.
My wife and I went for lunch. We weren’t super hungry so we split the tacos de carnitas. You get four small tacos, each with cilantro, onion, and their spiced pork. It was incredibly delicious. I think everybody gets their signature salsa rack, which has a red and a green salsa, and spiced onion. We got the guacamole too. Not the best, but competent. The tortilla chips are homemade and very good. I also had a Mexican tamarind soda.
We liked the place so much we went back that evening. I got the tacos again, and my wife got a beef fajita plate. They were terrific. I can’t wait to go again.

Ordered the enfrijoladas with chorizo ($ 13.99) to go. The best way to describe this is like a tortilla lasagna filled with chorizo and drowned in bean sauce, sour cream and cheese on top. It took about 10 – 15 minutes for them to make it. When we got it, it was piping hot. It also smelled amazing. When we opened it up, it looked like soup covered in sour cream. It tasted pretty good though. More bean than I’d like, and that chorizo was undistinguishable under the beans, but whatever it was, it tasted good.
The restaurant itself is relaxing. Cute fact. Their salt and pepper are served in what looks like drink bottles.

Very good taste soup and taco, cheaper than average Mexican places in Toronto (I believe that Mexican places are generally overpriced in Toronto), feels more authentic here.

Had the fish tacos which weren’t half bad. It was a decent price and comes with 4 small tacos. I’ve def tried better tacos else where. I wouldn’t go too far out of my way for this place. But if you are in the neighborhood worth a visit.

Good authentic Mexican food. The space is a bit cramped, but the food is good. I prefer sitting on the patio to inside. The taquitos are great. I’d recommend sharing a few different dishes

Stopped here one night with my wife, the food was amazing. We had the mexitaco which is a set of 10 tacos, five different kinds of tacos which came with two kinds of hot sauce, and limes. It was fantastic… the wife and i had beer with these tacos which made them taste better.

I love coming here. This is one of the few good Mexican places with a patio. I don’t really like dining in the restaurant itself. I find it a bit too warm and tight.
As soon as the sun is out and i’m craving some Mexican, I come here.
My usual order is La Parrillada and a sangria. La Parrillada is a large fajita style dish that can be shared. The service is friendly. I’ve tried the pulled pork before it was very tastey but i find La Parrillada the best value for just hanging in the patio with friends… I haven’t sampled many of the other dishes as they didn’t look appealing. I’m sure many of the other Unilocaler’s comments about quality consistency between the different plates is valid.

Ah almost like being on Juarez having some tacos del pastor! The only difference is the price… In Mexico 2.00 in Toronto 8.99 ;-)

I’ve been here a few times and give it resounding «pretty good» over all.
The food I’ve had has been more or less tasty each time but the service isn’t fantastic. The price to portion ratio is a bit on the small side for some dishes but the platter of assorted tacos for 2 that hovers around the $ 20 mark is a decent value and a great datenight option.
All in all a good option when I want something better than nachos and don’t want to get too far from home.

My boyfriend and I got a mild case of food poisoning for two days after having the Flautas. I was grossed out by my first bite! Don’t know why I continued to eat at least half if it. They were very bland and over cooked. My guy ate more then I did and he still has stomach cramps :(
Doooo notttt goooo here. Yuck!

Eh, I expected to eat good Mexican food since my friend took us there (and then he regretted it as well).
I am not an expert, but what I had there wasn’t even close to good. If I have to describe their food, it’s simply bland and dry.
We got tacos in the beginning and those were quite good actually. And that was the only good thing I could say about the place. Then we ordered the main dishes and that’s when it went downhill.
You know your food’s bad when the only part you enjoy is the bean sauce. That was mine
We were 4 people, and I tried everyone’s food. None if it was good. My friend got quesedilla, which compared to the last place I went to, was a pain to eat.
I also tried the fish, which I probably could have made better myself.
For me 2 stars is exactly how much the food in there deserves, and that’s because of the tacos.
Unfortunately it’s not even cheap to justify the quality.
Service was below average. We were the only people in there and we got almost no attention. In the end it took them so long to split our bill in 2.
I rarely have negative impressions of the places I visit, but I will definitely skip going to that one again.

The menu has a huge range of authentic-​looking Mexican dishes. I don’t feel qualified to comment on the authenticity. I will say that the food seemed very different from what’s found in typical Tex-​Mex style joints (in a good way). The portion to price ratio is rather small. Especially when it comes to the tiny tacos. I had the chorizo tacos. They came with a spoon full of meat, chopped cilantro and onions on each taco, which were about the size of my palm ($ 8.99). The tacos tasted ok but needed a little kick. The condiments (seasoned onion, salsa verde and salsa) brought to our table took care of that.
Next time, I would consider one of their platters for more variety.

Delicious Mexican food. You owe a visit here if you’re in the area.

Finally made it in here on a rainy winter afternoon.
The food is really authentic. I was the only person in the restaurant so service was good since he didn’t have to focus on anything else other than getting ready for the dinner rush. I went with a michelada and the chilaquiles. The michelada was tasty. While I’ve recently had better chilaquiles in California, this dish was quite good. Very simple and filling and hit the spot.
