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

“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.“

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

“Best Guacamole and tacos anywhere !“

“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!“

“Amazing margaritas and great guac!“

“I loved this bistro. I came from the downtown core to try something different. The food was delicious and the signature margarita was outstanding. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Be sure to book a reservation because I just missed getting a table in the garden oasis they have.“

“Seven Lives is a must visit in Kensington Market! They offer delicious and thoughtful tacos at an affordable price. Seven Lives is centrally located around the busiest area of Kensington Market making them a great place to stop and take a break from shopping and exploring.

I had the pleasure of trying the Pollo Asado, Chorizo & Papa, and Camarones A La Diabla tacos. The tacos all came packed with meat and were perfectly seasoned. I appreciated the sauce station on the counter where I added extra salsa verde which was delicious.

I dined in and loved the standing table arrangement which encouraged a more casual fast dining experience. The tables were also stocked with plenty of paper towels as the tacos are stuffed with meat and you will get your hands messy.

Overall I believe Seven Lives is a must visit if you’re in the area. Have a great time thrifting and then enjoy some wonderful tacos and wash them down with an ice cold Topo Chico!“

“Great vibe. Food & drinks are wonderful“

“We wandered in here at happy hour with no expectations and were blown away at the quality of the cocktails, atmosphere, snacks, and service. Meg took care of us and Gus is the mastermind behind the beverage program - 10/10 for both!! An amazing selection of margs and we were sorely tempted by the $6 Guinness. Try the Aperol Margarita or the Midnight Monarch. You won't be disappointed“

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

“Highly recommend this place.“

“A nice place the comfortable is delicious really tastes like Mexico 🇲🇽 The attention is amazing everyone is very friendly and makes the visit a unique experience I will definitely return my family was delighted with this place.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Les meilleurs tacos birria qu'on a mangé lors de notre séjour à Toronto! Et que dire de la horchata! Todo estuvo delicioso!“

“My favourite Latin restaurant in the city! It's Colombian but prepares the best Mexican this side of the border, and does El Salvadorian well as well. It's a local staple. I've never been disappointed. It's been well received by every guest that we've invited. It's kid friendly, which is crucial, as I have 3.

I can't wait to get in there again to enjoy my favourite dish; Camarones a la Diabla. Spicy!“

“We had such an amazing experience at Atomic10! Our group of 14 came in for a birthday celebration, and from start to finish, everything was so well run. The staff went above and beyond — the Blue Jays were in the World Series that night, and with almost no notice, they set up a projector and makeshift screen so we could watch the game together while celebrating. It honestly made the night!

The atmosphere was perfect — fun, lively, with that great mix of low neon lighting and upbeat energy. The tacos were creative and delicious, the margs were on point, and the service was exceptional throughout.

Highly recommend Atomic10 for any group event or celebration — they know how to make it special. 💫“

“Great place!“

“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!“

“I had the best burrito here they have offer going on today for national burrito day only for 6.99 I got regular size burrito . The ingredients were super fresh, the portion was generous, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The tortilla was soft yet held everything together without getting soggy. I also loved the variety of toppings and sauces available. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. Definitely my go-to spot for burritos.“

“I can't stop thinking about this place because it was truly one of the best Korean / Mexican Fusion Foods. I enjoyed the carne asada, beef bulgogi, pescado, and pulpo tacos. My curiosity led me to also try the maapo libre and the pingo coreano. They are all delicious and have great portion sizes. I will be coming back here and you can't go wrong with their Rorschach Rice Lager. Also, it's fresh to order, I would also like to mention great service and friendly staff.“

“There’s a special here I recommend: 2 tacos + soft drink for $20+HST, it excludes the steak/shrimp versions. It comes with a serving tortilla chips and a shot cup of guacamole. The food is always fresh & tasty. If you’re looking for “the McDonald’s of tacos” this place is certainly not it! (Go to Taco Bell). Compared to Gus’ Taco, Piñata has a much better vibe (Gus’ feels like McCraps too). Fast, friendly service at Piñata Tacos!. Acceptable decor. Bar in the back portion - enjoy your tacos with Mexican beers! They also do burritos, fajitas & tortas (ie. sandwiches on Portuguese buns). Overall, a nice stop for a relatively quick & inexpensive meal. Highly recommended!!!“

“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!“

“Food was amazing - we did the tasting menu and every course was delicious. Service was excellent - they were positively EXCITED to tell us about each dish. It was quiet for a Tuesday night, but on a cold and rainy November evening....very understandable. Excellent overall. We will be 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 🤤🤤🤤🤤“

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

“Mexican from Los Angeles here; this place is good, reminds me of home. Don't expect the Indian staff to speak Spanish, but damn sure expect a good meal. Had a carne asada (beef) torta and a horchata, it did not disappoint. Came in hot, bread wasn't overly toasted beans guac were spread well and the HOT sauce made my nose run, just the way I like it.“

“I love this place! The food is delicious!! The restaurant is beautiful, every one there is kind- it's a beautiful place to spend an afternoon or evening. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

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

“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!! 💙“

“Nachos, corn and burrito were flavourful and filling. Churros was a perfect way to finish. Mojito was just ok. Service wasn't perfect as the servers needed some reminding for items and corrections on the bill. Overall would recommend to others and come back.“

“Tasty food, nice atmosphere, excellent hospitality!“

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

“Awesome and authentic tacos! We’ll be back (again)!“

“This is a fantastic spot for delicious, fresh Mexican food. The burritos are generously filled, and the ingredients are always fresh and flavorful. The service is quick and friendly, making it a great option for a satisfying meal on the go. Highly recommend!“

“I thought these birria tacos had to watch out for me, but it was I who was gobsmacked. The tacos here are AMAZING. Hardly got soggy no matter how many times i dipped it in the consomme. The sweet lady here also gave us free nachos to try! Will come again for sure.“

“Always greeted with warm smile. Not rushed like typical locations. Since coming to this location. I enjoyed everything on the menu! I stopped going to A&W because how fresh the food is and you feel welcomed. Great location if you get hungry. Prices beat anywhere else in this city. My family can be picky but they were really satisfied when they tried Grilles. Please Tip! The staff deserves it. 👍👍“

“We had Bulgogi tacos, Birria croquettas, Seoul-nitas tacos, Kimchi octopus, Shrimp chips guacamole and Black sesame tres leches.

Owner and bartender brings creative, classy cocktails to life and curates a sophisticated, flavour bomb menu.
My favourites are the bulgogi tacos - a perfect balance of sweet marinade and spicy jalapeno salsa and the charred octopus with kimchi romesco, chimmichurri and almonds.“

“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. 👍🏼“

“Cool Hand Of A Girl is a great spot in the Junction! Delicious food, welcoming environment and friendly staff. My personal favourite is the Mexican bowl! Highly recommend checking out this locally-owned spot that has amazing Mexican flavours, generous portions and lots of options for various dietary needs.“

“Love this place! Creative tacos!“

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

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

“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.“

“Hey Wey! is great, I like the pupusa place as well but I forgot their name.“

“Muy rica comida y la atención súper buena 🤤🙏🏻“
