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.“

“My girlfriend and I stopped by Carmelita on Dundas for the first time, and it definitely won’t be our last. She had the fajitas, and I tried a pupusa for the first time along with some tacos. Everything was absolutely delicious, and you can tell it’s made with care. The two house sauces they serve one spicy and one mild were both amazing and took the meal to the next level. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and we left already talking about what we want to try next time. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“Great place!“

“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!! 💙“

“Highly recommend this place.“

“Probably the best consume I’ve had in the city so far. The birria tacos would be a once a week thing for me however they are way too small for their to only be 3 and there’s definitely good competition in the area that are doing so. The steak tacos could definitely be better, but the fish tacos were fantastic.

Felt like the server could be warmer and more customer service focused for sure“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Came in late after a TFC game on a Wednesday night. Friendly service and AMAZING food! Had Carnitas and chicken tacos and a marg. Delicious! Authentic and a friendly community vibe. Will absolutely come back when we're in the area again!“

“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!“

“Parking is a hassle due to the nature of this roadside spot, but the restaurant itself is lively and energetic. Sat outside at the patio on a summer evening, so there were a couple bugs and flies around the food and table, but nothing too bothersome. Birria tacos were savoury and loaded with beef. Sauces helped add some flavour. Server was excellent and brought food out promptly.“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing experience at BarBurrito! The staff are some of the most polite, friendly, and welcoming people I’ve come across. Their customer service is excellent, and they genuinely make sure you’re happy with your order.

The food is always prepared fresh, tastes delicious, and the portions are very generous, you definitely get great value for your money. Everything was prepared with care and the ingredients tasted fresh.

Highly recommend this location for the fresh food, great quantity, and especially the outstanding staff and customer service. Will definitely be coming back!“

“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!“

“This was our first time here, but will definitely come back. Ivan, our server was very helpful in telling us about the happy hour small bites. They were all delicious especially the empanadas. The $10 margaritas were also very tasty. We were happy to try this restaurant.“

“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“

“Best Guacamole and tacos anywhere !“

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

“Pretty cool little spot with amazing shareable dishes! We had the zucchini chips, birria croquetas (which were absolutely delicious), and the kalbi quesadillas — yummy galbi beef-stuffed quesadillas that were packed with flavour.
For cocktails, I had the Nitro Carajillo, and I have to say, the horchata foam is an absolute banger. 🤌

Loved the cute, simple decor and the super friendly staff. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

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

“super recomondado, la comida estuvo deliciosa las quesadilla y el Ramen de birria deli, y la atencion muy buena.“

“I really enjoy eating the food they serve at Grillies. The food is quite good. I compare the burgers to a greasy spoon sort of, like I enjoyed in childhood. Panu is an excellent cook. Thank you Panu, I am writing this as I am savouring my food. I’m genuinely enjoying the flavour so much I am considering ordering one to take home. Best bacon cheeseburger I’ve had from here. I enjoyed the burger so much I forgot to take a picture 🙃“

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

“this is seriously my favourite place to get birria tacos and burritos in toronto. no other place can top tacos moras for me. i have been here a couple times and need to remember to post all my other pictures when i find them.

the birria broth is soooo rich and flavourful!!! i never fail to finish the entire bowl. it is not watery or too salty, which are issues i run into constantly when looking for places that sell the broth. i've only even gotten birria as a protein here, it's so yummy and addictive i can't seem to bring myself to try anything else just yet 😋

i almost always eat dine-in because of their self-serve station. it is such a nice experience to have side dishes like the cucumber and radishes to refresh your palette. i hope the staff do not judge my mountain of radishes when they see this.

another one of the danforth's many gems 🌮“

“Best tacos I've ever tasted.“

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

“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.“

“Highly recommended: Shikha was working on a Saturday afternoon and was extremely kind and friendly. Tasty burritos and bowls, they have churros for a sweet snack. Outdoor patio in summer. Indoors they only had 5 small tables but maybe they have more when it's cool outside. It wasn't super air conditioned, but it was ok. Fully wheelchair/walker accessible.“

“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 🤤“

“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.“

“Awesome food. Never greasy, never too salty“

“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 literally want to gatekeep this place for the rest of my life but I know I shouldn’t because everyone should come at least once!! Fantastic atmosphere, phenomenal food, and awesome service. It doesn’t get any better. The seafood molcajete bowl is TO DIE for same with the meat lovers one. I can’t get enough of it!! And the churros omg are so sweet and decadent at the end of a beautiful meal. Please stay open forever“

“Definitivamente hicieron de mi cumpleaños un dia inolvidable 🥰 la comida super deliciosa ,el ambiente acogedor ! por supuesto que volvere !“

“If you want to taste the difference, this is the place to be! The burritos are always freshly made, the fries are hot and crispy, and the quality is consistently excellent. Friendly service, delicious food, and a place that will keep you coming back. Highly recommended!“

“I can't believe I haven't reviewed this wonderful restaurant. The food is SO good. I like the birria here more than anywhere else I've tried downtown. Just remember that the bowls and tacos do not travel well, so order tortas or burritos for take-out or delivery.“

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

“Love this place! Creative tacos!“

“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. 👍🏼“

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

“great service by raman“
