Food was good, service was very good and atmosphere was decent.
Had the chicken tacos and the salsa and chips. All was tasty and we were a big group.
Definitely recommend!

Barbacoa and Cochinita were great. I like they serve a tasty small consomé with the taco. Pricey compared to Toronto almost double the price. Avoid the steak taco!! Huge miss there. I’ve been eating in Mexican restaurants almost once a months in many different cities including in Toronto I lived or in Mexico City that I go often, that is not what a steak taco should be at all. I was given fondue steak in my taco 😆

It was highly recommended. I ordered tacos. It came and it was a single taco. I was choked. Overpriced …left feeling completely unsatisfied. Misleading menu. That is what I thought it was…. Will never go back even if you paid me .

So I figured I would visit here in a effort to better gauge some of the reviews that are all over the place about this restaurant.
I had the Pig head and fish tacos. First of all, for anyone saying or reading that that the tacos are bland or underwhelming that's crazy talk. The tacos are even dressed with cilantro and pickled onions. If you cant taste cilantro and onions go get your mouth hole examined, its not functioning properly. Both of these tacos were great but especially the pigs head taco, it was phenomenal. I would have like to try the Ox tongue as well, buy it wasn't available. I certainly will return. If you had any apprehension about this spot don't. I'm a fat man I know what tastes good. I would not lie to you 🫡 And sure the tacos may not exactly the cheapest things out there but don't blame them, blame Trudeau, he ruined your taco budget not El camino.

Service is nice but the food is so unflavorful and expensive. Go elsewhere for your tacos. These aren't authentic at all 🤷🏻♂️

Great spot. My one suggestion is to double stain the shaken cocktails.

When you really want to pay 10 dollars for one taco and eat in a basement.
Food is good, but probably way too expensive for what it is, and the location is a bit odd. Fine for every now and again.
The name of restaurant is not quite easily visible (pic added here)
Nice food and ambience however music was too loud to have a regular conversation and some tables are set too close to each other, if that matters to you.
They do have indoor and outdoor seating.
Vegetarian options available and a lot of tequila based cocktails. Chips and salsa tasted fresh and flavorful overall the food was good.

My sister and I were coming back from the Green Day concert (amazing), and tried ordering online, but they were really busy understandably (it was almost midnight), so they were not taking orders. We walked in to ask if the takeout window was open, and the Host at the front was not only helpful, but personable and engaging. It was a delight chatting, and was a smooth, organized process. Thank you! The pollo tacos and guacamole were extra good tonight, 10/10.

I’ve been frequenting both locations since they opened. The food is always amazing. Unfortunately the service has taken a serious decline. I would still encourage people to check it out but go with plenty of time to spare.
