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.“

“Great place!“

“Highly recommend this place.“

“Came from out of town and was recommended to come here. Great choice, the food was sooo good. We got the birria tacos and they were the best I’ve had so far. The chicken in the other tacos was also phenomenal. Guac was really well done, loved it. Out server, Victoria, was so lovely very sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. She got us an extra glass to mix our drinks. All in all, a great time and would recommend. Thank you!“

“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!“

“We stopped in last night for dinner - first time there. Its such a cute space, with a lovely patio out back. The staff was incredible - friendly, and welcoming. The food was beyond. We ordered the Guac and chips, the Dubuu Ensalada, and the taco flight (6 tacos: 3 hard shell, 3 soft). Everything blew us away, but the salad was unreal. So refreshing, and spicy, and delicious. The tacos were phenomenal. Service was 10/10. Great first time experience, and we can't wait to go back!“

“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!“

“Best Guacamole and tacos anywhere !“

“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!“

“I think it's a bit difficult for Mexican restaurants to stand out in the significant wave of new options that have opened up in the city in recent years. All they can do is bring the authenticity- and Pinata manages to do that with it's tasty offerings. It's a smaller restaurant that can fill up easily on peak nights. The prices seem like a deal at first until you realize that the portions are on the smaller side, making them fair. Service was fine. This place didn't amaze me but didn't disappoint either.“

“Tasty food, nice atmosphere, excellent hospitality!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Came in for the Tuesday special and happy hour with a group of 6. Immediately seated and served, atmosphere was quick enough to talk comfortably.

Ofelia was our server and she was great with her recommendations and service! Would definitely come again, great prices for great food and service.“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

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

“This is a great date night spot - great atmosphere, stylish design, creative menu and cocktail choices that make the experience of selection and tasting fun and curious. The service was great - friendly, helpful, accommodating. We went with the Ssireum Smash Fries which was very yummy and the tofu topping was a great touch (though i’m not a fan of the squiggly mccain style fries) and my partner had the Bulgogi-Asada Tako which she loved and said was worth the price. We had the Black Belt 3 Leches for desert which was nice and pleasant, but we were hoping for the sesame to come through more. The only drawback i’d say is the portion size for the price - though my partner said the taco was worth it. Will return for a happy hour!“

“Great experience at Girlles Burger! The jaspreet was very supportive, respectful, and helpful throughout my visit. She made sure everything was good and provided excellent customer service. Really appreciated the positive attitude and professionalism. Definitely coming back again!“

“Best tacos I've ever tasted.“

“To the workers that made my food today oh my God, this is the best tacos ever and the fries. Wow I’m so shocked. Please don’t ever fall off because this is going to be my forever spot. Wow so impressed. The food is made with so much love.“

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

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

“We were craving authentic Mexican food and this place totally satisfied it! The lady with the glasses was so friendly, nice, and accomodating :) We got a variety of their tacos, chips & guacamole, and beef brisket quesadilla. The meat was so tender and juicy! Everything was fresh, tasty, and comforting like elevated home cooking 🤤“

“Smashing IT! 🇲🇽🌯🇲🇽

Stop the presses! A new and outstanding restaurant has opened up in the trendy areas otherwise known as St. Clair Avenue West where all the cool and trendy hipsters hang out.

barBURRITO is serving up some of the best Mexican food in the city!

Honestly it's a big and loud YUM from me! And the prices are so amazing.

I order the BBOX which included a medium size and fully loaded succulent chicken burrito that came with loaded beef nachos!

The food was absolutely delicious!

So if you're in the mood for some delicious Burritos, chips and salsa then you definitely have to check them out.

Excellent customer service the folks working at the counter are so incredibly nice so please tip well when you visit!

And let's support this outstanding restaurant that's a new and welcoming addition to the neighbourhood!

“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.“

“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“

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

“Awesome food. Never greasy, never too salty“

“The food is so good, Fun place small and intimate great vibe. I will be going back. you have to try the corn 🌽 fish tacos. A gem of a place glad I finally went. I will suggest make a reservation.“

“There are lots of Mexican restaurants in Toronto now but this is an OG favorite! This is the only place that feels like an 1920s Mexican Cantina in Toronto. The food is off the chain and authentic. If you want REAL Mexican food by a chef that is not only Mexican but also classically trained you have to eat here. This is Mexican food with soul and heart. Everywhere else is either pub food and cheap or pretentious and too high brow for me. Don’t miss this Toronto classic!!“
