Terrible restaurant. Would never eat here again. Small portions and over priced. Awful experience.

Cute little spot! Everything tasted fresh and bright. The ceviche was honestly better than ones I’ve had in Mexico. Tacos come in twos - we tried the fish and carnitas and both hit the right spot. Tuna tostadas were great too. Friendly service, no complaints. We’ll definitely be back.

Great for casual date night! We got the $50 pp menu, which was a generous amount of food for the price especially nowadays in Toronto. Everything was really tasty. Highlights were the ceviche, the churro, and lamb(?) tacos (not pictured, we ate it before we could take a pic).

My gf found El Pocho on Reddit, and since then we’ve been back at least 8 times lol! We recently chose the shareable courses from the menu, where the chef curates your meal. I believe it was at least 3 courses. Ceviche, chips & guacamole, 3 taco varieties, and dessert. You can select from meat/pescatarian/vegan preparation.
I cannot stress enough how delicious everything is here. We keep coming back and bringing friends, and everyone agrees on the extremely high quality of food that is served here. The sharable option is very filling! We took the third taco round to go, so we could fully enjoy the churros at the end of the succulent meals.
Thank you so much for being completely gluten free, it’s relieving, so so so yummy, and the service is absolutely spectacular. Every server we have had, is so attentive, has good banter and are just so friendly and sweet.

It is a nice cozy restaurant. The sevice could definitely get better. Unfortunately my mother in law got a serious rash after eating there. It took her 5 days to get rid if it with medication. I assume it was the salsa verde. Also it was a hot day when we were there, the fans were working but not the AC and when I aksed if they could get the AC running, I was told no. That made our stay pretty short.
Came here from out of town due to the high ratings. Drinks were fun, and the food was thoughtful, creative, and tasty — though very spicy. Everyone in our group of five struggled with the heat.
The main reason for the low rating is the reservation experience. I made an online reservation with a $285 deposit, but when we arrived, we were told that because we were a group of five, we had to either do a tasting menu or order enough food to meet the deposit amount. I had even called beforehand to ask about the Saturday night wait time and was told it would be about an hour so making a reservation seemed necessary but now in hindsight seemed almost like a set up.
When we arrived, there were several free tables, so we’re not sure the reservation was even necessary. One of our friends, who has walked in with larger groups in the past, said they’d never been asked to do a tasting menu or meet a minimum spend. This made the whole experience feel misleading.

Are you tired of social media hyped restaurants in busy downtown? This is our 2nd visit because the restaurant is one of the best local mexican places in such not too busy area. This time, I will not write something about food. You wanna try a really good mexican foods. This is it! They have nice and cute inside dining space under canopy as well. And, if you come with fur friends, they also offer cafe T.O style patio too.
