Dave SpadaforaAugust 29, 2014Good atmosphere,good service and the food is outstanding! The only thing I have to complain about is that I had to wait about an hour for a table because it was so busy. Definitely worth the wait!
Kailey L.May 27, 2015Loved everything we ordered! Recommends the corn, ribs and meatballs. Had the beef cheek taco and cod taco, both are amazing.
Shubham DattaMarch 1, 2014The Rice & Corn Frituras and Mexican Street Corn (both pictured here) are delicious appetizers to share. Can't go wrong with the cod and carnita tacos either. Great food - would recommend.
RTWgirl ArnetteJune 28, 2015The food and the drinks are tasty. A bit loud but this is where you come for tacos and a good time. The door host dude needs to chill out though, it's Toronto not NYC
Khanh LySeptember 8, 2015I can't judge much about the food, because I don't have that much knowledge about Mexican cuisine, but I really enjoyed the tacos. The staff was quick, but not super friendly. Split bill not possible?
Jan HansonApril 28, 2014Could not have had a better meal. Started with margueritas, shared ribs, corn, the cod, chicken, beef & carnitas tacos & finished with the churros. Amazing!
Ebtisam AfrandAugust 22, 2017Cocktails were delicious and the food was even better, you have to get the corn and the ceviche and fish tacos are a must try!
Kip WattsMarch 17, 2013Pick a couple tacos that catch your fancy, you can't really go wrong with any. But the chips and guac, Mexican street corn and Tres Leche Cake are all fantastic complements to your meal.
Rob IacoccaSeptember 25, 2015Yes, the tacos are amazing - maybe even the best in the city - but the drinks (awesome beer list) and the deserts (CHURROS!) are also worth your attention and $$$.
Katie WestMay 8, 2015Went here three times in four nights. I'll admit I have a problem but the chicken and carnita tacos are too good. And the carne asada Monday night special? So. Good. And try the Popsicles for dessert!
Sean PollockJuly 14, 2013I could die happily if I was eating one of their street corns. Delicious! Tacos are outshined by the sharing platters. Perhaps noisier than Guu. Great service. Try the "bread and butter"!!!
Hiba TariqFebruary 16, 2013They don't do take out so make sure you only order as much as you can eat! Also, in cod we trust is so good; make sure you try it! Not a huge fan of their other fish taco though - Tostada de Ceviche!- Jamie SarnerMay 29, 2015The menu is a small selection of shareable starters, tacos around the $5 mark, daily specials, and a few desserts. Recommend. Read more
Prachy MohanSeptember 20, 2015Omg so good for vegetarians! There's only one taco that you can eat as a vegetarian but it's soooo good! And the Mexican corn is to die for!
Clare PyeMarch 9, 2022Delicious food! We went here based on Foursquare’s recommendation and were not disappointed! Worth the trip.
Neeta SharmaAugust 8, 2014The mango salad is a burst of healthy fresh flavours.... And it's totally worthwhile to try the cookie and cream Popsicle. Both things are amazing!
MimiAugust 22, 2015Tacos, Corn, and Guac x chips! Mm their Guac is so fresh! Sweet Jesus Popsicles are bomb dot com!
One of the few places in TO that serves a Mexican beer cocktail called the Michelada. Get that with some street corn and a couple tacos for the best meal ever.- The mexican street corn is amazing, and all the tacos really. Not one was a dud! If you sit at the bar, you get pretty amazing and attentive service. Beware though, no split bills :/
Anya GregorySeptember 10, 2014Love the tacos and churros! Really fun vibe, great with a large group. But be careful what you order, it can get pricey!
Jessika ChabotOctober 26, 2014Amazing. Had the pork belly taco and the pollo fritto. Both melt in your mouth! And really decently priced too!
Serious EatsMarch 18, 2014Boisterous food-truck-turned-restaurant catering to a young, hip crowd; their fried fish taco has earned raves across the city.
RobinkayhJune 5, 2012jalepeno poppers are amazing and HOT. Dont miss: grilled corn and crispy avocado taco. Keep room for dessert, lime pie popsicles are divine!
JaanaMarch 28, 2014I don't usually like pork, but that Carnita pork taco... Yummmm! I just wish they had more than one bottle of red wine to choose from.
The arctic char tostada special is really good. The cod taco is slightly oily and corn is a bit dry. The lime pie is interesting. Grand electric is still better but you don't need to wait 2 hours here
Rob GeeAugust 10, 2012The tacos are the stars, but definitely try the corn on the cob too. Well worth the sticky fingers!
Robin JohannsenApril 22, 2015Love the street corn and the cod taco. It's actually not too pricey if you stay away from fancy cocktails.
The cod and beef tacos are just wonderful. Fresh, quality ingredients and great flavor pairings!
Brad HoffmanSeptember 27, 2013All the food is great here, once you find your way in. There's no sign outside the building.
- RichelleMabellNovember 12, 2012Tacos were underwhelming. Tried the cod, chicken, beef cheeks, chorizo, fried avocado. Fell short on flavour. Do try Mexican corn and yummy churros.
Jennie KJune 10, 2013Hip hop and good food. Im down. Must try: street corn, the beef cheek taco and super strong margarita! Si!
Who Shot Ya and a Negro Modelo with 2 Pollo tacos, corn, chips (mezcal dip) and churros. Best meal in Toronto.
Jamie ShermanJanuary 7, 2015Tacos were really good as were the drinks! Place has a great vibe and an amazing staff!
Rumana SiddikyJune 29, 2013If I lived in TO, I would be 1,000 lbs because I'd want to eat here every day. Never thought I'd go on about a chicken taco but wow, raveworthy.
Veronichka ZotochkinaFebruary 14, 2013Thursdays special is amazing. If you are feeling like having fish -try delicious tostada de ceviche! And desert - it's heavenly!!!!!!!!!
Lynn KobayashiJuly 9, 2014Street corn rocks. But don't try to cut the cob yourself like I did. Result, mango juice spillage on dining partner.
Laura ShumJune 13, 2015Honestly the best. Get the chips and guac and in cod we trust and the paletas 😍
Josh FerraraNovember 26, 2013TACOS. Cod, beef cheek, and chicken are great. Mexican street corn is a must!
Jessie ChenSeptember 27, 2013Try the cod, chicken and tuna ceviche tacos, and then head over to Sneaky Dee's for some cheap beer!
Alex PiottiMarch 12, 2014Must try the beef cheek taco....yummm!! The popsicles and churros are to die for.
Rebecca RaiaJune 26, 2017The tacos are tasty but the drinks seem a bit overpriced. Mostly, you will be paying for seating at a trendy spot. Great for dates.
Joe SnyderMay 5, 2013Carnita (Friday-only special) and ceviche (every day feature) are both highly recommended.
RaniMay 21, 2015Tacos weren't bad, but not crazy good. Wild mushroom empanada was satisfying. Try w/ the 'Bread & Butter' cocktail
Sharing menu for two: chips with 3 dips; avocado mango salad; two tacos each; churros or paletas.
Bonnie DeanJanuary 20, 2013First time here. The Chorizo is delicious. The margarita is strong. Will definitely be back.
