Mexican Restaurants near East York

“They serve the best Mexican food!!! 🥰“

“I love the healthy food and lifestyle“

“Muy buena comida y precios solo deberian de hablar español se supone que es un restaurante mexicano!“

“Best tacos Al Pastor we have ever had outside of Mexico. Delicious! The chicken tacos are great too!“

“Expensive. Food wasn't fresh, took over 2h for my drink which was so sweet I couldn't drink it, fungas gnats all over our table, we went as a group and we paid nearly $100 a person for crappy food, service, well if you call reheated appetizers food that is. Each person got 1 piece of appetizer each, from three "courses", we ended up going elsewhere to eat real food... never again. Oh and not to mention, took us over 2h to get there (we were excited and quickly dissapointed), and they charged the same amount for our kids under 8, as they did for adults, as well as a forced tip!! Not worth it, don't waste your time or money.“

“The service was great, the atmosphere felt like being in El Salvador/Mexico and to sell the feeling of being back home, the meals (pupusas, enchiladas, tacos, and flan for dessert) had that touch and taste of back home to perfection including the salsas (spicy and non spicy) not like other poser restaurants. The finishing touch to the atmosphere was the food and beverages came in dishes typically use in El Salvador/Mexico. I'm saying this as a Salvadoran that has also lived in Mexico. The best part is that almost every meal available on the menu has a vegetarian option (very unique and rare).

For the latinos looking for authentic, this is as authentic as it gets compared to other places who claim authenticity. I drove from Kitchener to Toronto to eat here, and it was a well worth drive.“

“Highly recommend this place.“

“Had a great experience at this place every time I go. The staff were friendly and attentive. Especially Dev who is very helpful and experienced . They handled it with professionalism and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was fantastic, and we’ll definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely meal!“

“Great place!“

“I want to send a positive feedback on one of the new workers, she was kind and patient with me as I kept switching up my order and I honestly thank her alot for that it wasn't intentional so I apologize. Truly was an amazing service that was provided for me and the food was done really really well. Thank you to you Isha and I can't wait to come back!“

“We have been visiting El Pocho for a couple years now and it never disappoints. As someone with celiac disease having this completely gluten free option is amazing, especially as all of my non gf friends and family who’ve come also love it because it’s really delicious food. Their recent addition of brunch has been a game changer - do not miss the donuts, unreal!“

A rare Korean-Mexican fusion that results in bites as delicious as their individual elements. The marinated Korean galbi was brimming with a sweet and savory marinade, contrasted with a refreshing, crunchy cabbage salad and a zingy citrus sauce. Meanwhile, the pescado offers more familiar Mexican flavours with two giant, flaky pieces of fish, with a delicately crispy batter that held its own during takeout. A refreshing mayo-dressed jicama slaw offers the creamy backdrop that doesn't overpower the fish, and the flavourful squirt of chipotle mayo and citrus blend makes it a better taco. Both are topped with crumbled cheese, red onions, cilantro and served with green and red salsa. The orange, sunny ceviche has cured sea bass in a citrusy coconut milk, with an interesting and piquant addition of Sichuan chili oil that works surprisingly well on my Chinese palate.“

“Tasty food, nice atmosphere, excellent hospitality!“

“Best fish tacos I have ever had!!!“

“Just moved into the area and needed a quick bite while I took a break from painting. Popped over here for a burrito and it did not disappoint! I will most certainly be back and next time I'm trying one of those margaritas that looked so good!“

“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!“

“Da las cualidades que se necesitan. Bueno en todos los aspectos. Excelente atención al cliente. Comida preparada al instante. Date la oportunidad de conocer este bello lugar, te hacen sentir como en casa.“

“Went to Atomic 10 and it’s one of those “hidden gem” spots that actually lives up to it.

Tucked away, small, great energy when you walk in type of vibe.

Tacos are the move. Fresh, loaded, and the Birria tacos were amazing. Literally could drink the consome.

What stood out though was the vibe. Staff are warm, super on it, and it has that neighborhood energy where you feel like you’ve been there before - even if it’s your first time.

Great food, great drinks, and a place you end up staying longer than you planned.“

“I knew my soul was asking me for some Latin Flavor! This was my experience … Sitting in the cozy patio heated up by some warm outdoor heaters and greeted by the Owner Antonio in a very friendly manner and leading me to their cozy outdoor patio space heated up by outdoor heaters. Rustic, clean and lit up patio style, latin music, full of people in the patio chatting and laughing. I was introduced to the chef and waitress and they were both very friendly. I was served a delicious classic sour margarita just the way I asked with less agave. They bring it out with a beautiful red pedal inside just lovely. Then my main dish for this day that I was craving was the Peruvian style ceviche. It was just enough salt and lemon to my taste served with chips tostaditos on the side. I also had 4 little tequenos which are pastries filled with cheese and a sauce and finally ended with dessert un flan !!! Definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family!“

“Appetizers, drinks, entrees and especially the dessert was on 🔥🔥🔥“

“Best Guacamole and tacos anywhere !“

“It was a great place, good food good atmosphere. The only thing was that the music was a bit too loud. We have to kinda scream to each other to talk and it was hard to hear the server at times. Could’ve been cause there was a live bad but they could’ve just lowered the volume on the mixer a little bit. Other that 4.5/5“

“Muy amables y súper ricos los tacos y las tortas uff 🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“Authentic Tacos, fresh home made corn tortillas, salsas are amazing, highly recommended, I’m Mexican, this is the first time in 22 years that I have a preferred stop for tacos“

“Way better than chipotle imo.

The supreme fries are easily the best dish. The ingredients are always fresh, chipotle mayo is amazing, and they make the fries fresh if it’s less busy. I get these everytime Im in the area.

The tacos and burritos are HUGE and you can choose from butter chicken, reg chicken, beef and more.“

“Veggy tacos were amazing so fresh and full of flavor with try with friends sure“

“lamb tacos are the best! thanks for the amazing food!!!“

“Sit. Order a bunch of small plates. Order a cocktail. And oogle at the food presentation and then wow at the flavour combos. What took these flavourz so long to meet?! Kim guacamole? YAAAS. Crunchy smash fries with sauces you need to swim in. The cheese in the croquettas: If creamy needed a definition. Wow.
Intinate atmosphere. Excellent service. Great place for a nom and catch up.“

“hoy fui por tacos de tripa.. sudadero lengua y pastor...y mis mariscos.. simplemente deliciosos..... Gracias..“

“Have to say one of the better taco spots in the city. Haven’t tried the other locations but this one is worth checking out. They have a small bar on the side for extra toppings. Birreira taco was not too soggy, crispy and very filling. Look at the size of these tacos couldn’t finish them. Warning those grilled hot peppers are spicy.“

“Best tacos I've ever tasted.“

“I would like to take a moment and let you that this location was very well organized we placed an order on March 27, 2025 the ordering was very efficient and easy. When receiving our order it was very well packed and very well organized I would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Felt rushed but loved everything else. Thank you for having non-alcoholic options most places don’t.“

“la comida es muy rica y la atención por parte del personal es excelente“

“Very lovely experience upon visiting! Such informative description of each coffee item which was suggested, and the one I got was the best I’ve had… and I worked at SB for 4y! 100% recommend!! 💙“

“A delicious taco joint squirreled away. I highly HIGHLY recommend the cochinitas. So juicy and flavourful!!! The quesabirria was good too but not as impressive to me as the cochinitas. The consomme was a little light but if you think consimme is generally too heavy to enjoy, its a good balance between flavour and oil.
Our server was very nice and our food came out quickly! You get a good portion for what you pay, and the size of the servings are right next to the menu so you can decide if it's worth it yourself!“

“Awesome food. Never greasy, never too salty“

“My time tonight, it won’t be my last. Delicious food, friendly staff and really love the decor. Thank you.“

“Food is awesome. One of my favorite Mexican restaurants.“

“Jaspreet took great care of my allergy concerns. I called after placing an Uber eats order to let them know of my allergies because I forgot to include it in my instructions. and she called me back to inform me that they would be cleaning the grill and taking great care of my order. Highly recommend this location.“

“​I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I’m still thinking about the flavors! From start to finish, it was a truly fantastic experience that hit all the right notes for a memorable night out.
The Food is simply spectacular. Every dish felt intentional, fresh, and bursting with flavor. It’s rare to find a menu where you genuinely want to order everything, but this place manages to pull it off.
​The Atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a long dinner.

​While the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, I did notice that the service has the potential to speed up a bit. There were a few moments where we were waiting a little longer than expected for drinks. However, the quality of the food more than made up for the pace, and the owner genuine hospitality kept the mood high.
​Final...... This is easily one of my new favorites. The food is the star of the show, and the overall vibe is top-tier.
​I’m already planning my next visit and will definitely be returning with more friends and family in tow. If you’re looking for a meal that actually lives up to the hype, this is it!“

“Yummy crunchy chicken bowl . A dash of their Signature Hot sauce really enhanced the flavour. My husband had the bang bang shrimp burrito with crushed chips…. Finger licking❣️ will definitely recommend. 👍🏼“

“Love this place! Creative tacos!“
