13 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Toronto

“I’ve been coming to Grillies Restaurant almost once a week, usually in the evening, and I’m always impressed by the service and quality of the food. Parul and Amrit are always so welcoming and make sure the guests are well taken care of. They always serve great food with a genuine smile. The friendly service and consistent quality keep me coming back every week. Highly recommended!“

“LOVE this place! The most delicious burrittos I've ever had! AND had to take 1/2 of them home as they were so filling. I had the shrimp while my friend had the smoked lamb and we shared them. Both were excellent. We loved sitting at the window table and watching everyone on College St. walk by with their dogs. Also $10 for a glass of Prosecco!?! Bargain! Decent prices and great service and atmosphere. We will be back. PS. Great place to hang out before a show at The Royal Theatre literally steps away.“

“I recently bought a bowl, the flavours and taste was nice and it was fairly filling. The only downside was the packaging which really needs improvement. My cover fell out (it's a very loose for on the bowl) and some of the sauce spilled out. In addition the paper bowl gets soggy really quick so be aware.“

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

“Great bar! Top notch bartenders - I had Matt serve me and he was able to spin up a few great cocktails with a twist per my request. The other bartender (didn't get her name), seemed to be on top of it too. And as far as bar food is concerned, very solid. Their chorizo quesadilla was fantastic.“

“Wonderful experience at BarBurrito in Cambridge today! Lovely lady and fresh delicious lunch! Thank you! 🙏🏻 ❤️“

“Comfy little dive bar. Nice staff. Cheap drinks“

“Excellent Mexican tomato soup. Recommend👍“

“This place always has the kindest staff and generous portions in my experience! I once spilled something (not their food) all over my pants and the staff member (not sure if it was the manager) was so sweet in helping me not only grab a paper towel to clean myself up, but also added some soap to it to prevent further soilage and offered advice on how to get the stain out.“

“Absolutely Amazing Experience!

I had an incredible time at BarBurrito! The food was fresh, flavourful, and perfectly prepared — every bite was delicious. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the staff. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment I walked in. You can tell they care about what they do and go the extra mile to make sure you’re happy. It’s rare to find such great service and energy these days. I’ll definitely be coming back again — highly recommend!“

“Went for lunch and it was a solid meal. Got a large burrito and when they wrapped it up it was almost comical how large it was. But it tasted great.

I went for lunch but there wasn’t much of a crowed. Maybe I just missed it.

Go for the breaded chicken, it’s got a good crunch to it and good flavour.“

“It seems that the chicken quality is back to being excellent. I stopped coming here because my last few visits a few months ago were disappointing; the chicken was often burned or extremely dry. However, I decided to return and give it one last try, and I’m so happy I did. The chicken is now top-notch—always fresh and juicy. My girlfriend is also pleased with the current quality. I hope you don’t revert to the old ways. It looks like you’ve hired the right person in the kitchen. My girlfriend and I will definitely be coming back every week now.“

“It was my first time at the Roses Social when we went there for the Cinco de Mayo brunch event. It was already a full house when we arrived and there was a queue of guests waiting to be seated. The atmosphere was very lively while a Mariachi band was playing. We started our fiesta with their curated cocktails made with luxury tequila—Don Julio 1942. We had Roses Paloma and Flower Child which were both refreshing and had the right kick in lieu of the festivities. For the food, we went straight for the mains and then shared a dessert which was good for two people. *MAINS* LOBSTER and SHRIMP ROLL It was such a flavour heaven but not overpowering thanks to the Chipotle aioli. There was a generous amount of lobster in the sandwich and the bread that was used was delicious in its own right. PANCAKES SUPREME The pancakes were light, fluffy, and perfectly tangy, with the ricotta adding a creamy richness that balanced beautifully with the citrus. The berry compote added a burst of sweetness and tartness that complemented each bite, while the Chantilly cream melted delicately into the stack. A sprinkle of granola on top brought the perfect crunch, making each mouthful a delightful mix of textures and flavors. STEAK and EGGS The perfectly cooked golden yolks added a creamy contrast to the savoury steak done the best way possible: Medium rare. Together, the combination is simple yet deeply satisfying. *DESSERT* CAST IRON COOKIE It's a fusion of warm chocolate chip brownie and salted caramel, perfectly balanced by a scoop of creamy vegan vanilla ice cream. Each bite delivers a rich variation of textures and flavors that’s both indulgent and comforting.“
