50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Toronto

“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.“

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

“Highly recommend this place.“

“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!“

“Great place!“

“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!“

“Tasty food, nice atmosphere, excellent hospitality!“

A rare Korean-Mexican fusion that results in bites as delicious as their individual elements. The marinated Korean galbi was brimming with a sweet and savory marinade, contrasted with a refreshing, crunchy cabbage salad and a zingy citrus sauce. Meanwhile, the pescado offers more familiar Mexican flavours with two giant, flaky pieces of fish, with a delicately crispy batter that held its own during takeout. A refreshing mayo-dressed jicama slaw offers the creamy backdrop that doesn't overpower the fish, and the flavourful squirt of chipotle mayo and citrus blend makes it a better taco. Both are topped with crumbled cheese, red onions, cilantro and served with green and red salsa. The orange, sunny ceviche has cured sea bass in a citrusy coconut milk, with an interesting and piquant addition of Sichuan chili oil that works surprisingly well on my Chinese palate.“

“Just moved into the area and needed a quick bite while I took a break from painting. Popped over here for a burrito and it did not disappoint! I will most certainly be back and next time I'm trying one of those margaritas that looked so good!“

“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.“

“Darlings, I slid into Atomic 10 hungry for trouble.
That birria taco hit first, beef melting, consomé running thick and hot down my chin like fresh release. One greedy bite and I’m back in that sweaty Tijuana backroom, bent over, this rough vaquero gripping my hips, sliding in deep and slow, every thrust dripping spice and heat till I was gasping, clenching, and begging for more.

Then the churros landed long, warm, sugar-dusted sticks with that dense chocolate dip so thick it clings and coats. I dragged one through slow, sucked it deep, letting the chocolate drip onto my tongue and fingers like the sticky aftermath of a good pounding.

Every taco bite had me moaning low, every churro had me working it like I was back getting filled. Left with sauce on my lips, pulse racing, and a very satisfied ache.

Ten out of ten, boys.

Atomic 10 doesn’t feed you….it owns you. I’ll be back to get stretched again.“

“It was a great place, good food good atmosphere. The only thing was that the music was a bit too loud. We have to kinda scream to each other to talk and it was hard to hear the server at times. Could’ve been cause there was a live bad but they could’ve just lowered the volume on the mixer a little bit. Other that 4.5/5“

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

“Best Guacamole and tacos anywhere !“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Awesome food. Never greasy, never too salty“

“Sit. Order a bunch of small plates. Order a cocktail. And oogle at the food presentation and then wow at the flavour combos. What took these flavourz so long to meet?! Kim guacamole? YAAAS. Crunchy smash fries with sauces you need to swim in. The cheese in the croquettas: If creamy needed a definition. Wow.
Intinate atmosphere. Excellent service. Great place for a nom and catch up.“

“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!! 💙“

“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!“

“Food was great. Ordered beef, lamb, fish and jackfruit quesa birria tacos, which were all a hit. They also offered nachos, which were fantastic! The service from Tim and Wendy was great - very kind and friendly. I will be returning in the future.

Update - I have tried to return on three occasions, and they’ve been closed although it was nowhere near their closing time.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

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

“I want to appreciate Apexa for her incredible hard work and dedication. She manages the restaurant almost single-handedly and still handles everything with calmness and efficiency, even during the busiest hours.

She is extremely fast, smart, and patient with customers, which makes every visit pleasant. On top of that, the food she prepares is consistently delicious — her burgers and burritos are especially amazing.

It’s rare to see someone so committed and talented. Truly commendable work!“

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

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

“​I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I’m still thinking about the flavors! From start to finish, it was a truly fantastic experience that hit all the right notes for a memorable night out.
The Food is simply spectacular. Every dish felt intentional, fresh, and bursting with flavor. It’s rare to find a menu where you genuinely want to order everything, but this place manages to pull it off.
​The Atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a long dinner.

​While the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, I did notice that the service has the potential to speed up a bit. There were a few moments where we were waiting a little longer than expected for drinks. However, the quality of the food more than made up for the pace, and the owner genuine hospitality kept the mood high.
​Final...... This is easily one of my new favorites. The food is the star of the show, and the overall vibe is top-tier.
​I’m already planning my next visit and will definitely be returning with more friends and family in tow. If you’re looking for a meal that actually lives up to the hype, this is it!“

“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. 👍🏼“

“Love this place! Creative tacos!“

“Tasty AF. Great spot for vegan & gluten free folks too!“

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

“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.“

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

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

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

“Reminds me of a typical taqueria in Mexico City, food is prepared well, prices are fair and portion sizes are good, drinks are a bit over priced but all restaurants do the same thing. Food was quick to our table and flavor was bang on. Sauces are fantastic, beware the orange one, it’s deadly. Will definitely come again.“

“The food was amazing. I seriously had my eyes roll to the back of my head. #pastortacos“
