We stopped in here during a brief stay in Collingwood. It was some of the best tacos I’ve had, and margaritas were great. We were seating at the bar and the bartender took great care of us. Would definitely visit again!

Awesome service, knowledgeable staff - they won’t do fish tacos to go because they don’t travel well and get cold. Brisket tacos were tasty, if a little dry/tough. Baja fish tacos were great. Amazing street corn. Patio looks amazing

This place was amazing. Our waitress was so friendly and hospitable. She made some great food and drink suggestions. Both the food and drinks didn’t disappoint, we both got bowls and it was pretty packed with flavour. The portion size is great too as it’s not too much or too little.

Patio is nice in the summer. There was a dj when we were there, it was a bit loud. Service was great. Food was good but the loaded tots were a bit heavy for us. The cauliflower and fish were pretty good but nothing special, I've definitely had better. My boyfriend said the meat and potatoes taco was great

★★★★★

My oh my! The food was out of this world so delicious, my favourite one was the ceviche. Even though they were fully booked, they separated one table for us, just so we could have a seat. All of the staff are friendly and very smiley. They came to check on us and make sure we have everything we needed. I will definitely suggest this place to others!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bent Taco in Collingwood and sampled a variety of their offerings, including the cauliflower tacos, meat and potato tacos, and their highly recommended Tot Supreme. Starting with the cauliflower tacos, I found them to be well-seasoned and fresh, but they didn't quite meet my expectations. The flavors were decent, but they lacked the punch that would make them memorable. Similarly, the meat and potato tacos were satisfying, but I've had better elsewhere. They were hearty and filling, yet the overall taste didn't stand out. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the Tot Supreme. The tots were perfectly crispy and loaded with delicious toppings, creating a delightful combination that made every bite enjoyable. I would definitely return to Bent Taco just for this dish. In summary, while the tacos were not exceptional, the Tot Supreme alone is worth a visit. The ambiance and service at Bent Taco were pleasant, making it a nice spot to grab a bite. I look forward to seeing how their menu evolves and would recommend it for anyone craving some top-notch tots.

The service and atmosphere was charming and cute! The food was fresh but not that good! Nachos were burnt and little bitter in taste. Bowl was fresh but not many toppings. Churros was amazing fresh and authentic.

I enjoyed my experience immensely. I went in and the atmosphere was relaxed with pops of color and lots of windows. I went with the family on the recommendation of someone who lives in town and it lived up to expectations. I had the Baja fish taco and my sister had the cauliflower one both were fantastic. Both my parents had the bowls one cauliflower and the other the chicken tinga both of them enjoyed it as well. I would most definitely recommend this to anyone looking for delicious Mexican tacos and drinks.

Nice casual dining restaurant - guacamole and chips - not worth the price. the tacos are good (cauliflower and fish are both good). However, the restaurant was freezing When we asked why it was so cold , the server said it was the patio door and walked away .

Ordered food for take-out , went in and picked up my order that was under my wife s name. It is a busy time of year and the gentlemen who greeted me brought me my order made me feel very uncomfortable. I glanced at my phone for a spilt second checking my cameras who was at my house and the gentlemen who was helping me made a very much unneeded comment insinuating that I was high from the store down the street value buds. All because I looked at my phone spaced out for a spilt second , not a way to making jokes with a customer. The food was unreal and hats off to the chef. We will continue to go there but staff/atmosphere needs improvements as customers are the sole provider of your business and unneeded immature jokes are not needed for guests specially when other staff are telling you to give a customer their order so they can leave.

The food was disappointing - it wasn t very flavourful. The alcoholic drinks were great, but we got the magical lemonade and it was truly disgusting - like grenadine mixed with water. The service was terrible, we had to keep flagging people down to order. It s just not it.

November 21, 2024

It was our first time at this restaurant, and the server (possibly the owner) brought our food while eating himself, which made us question the hygiene. He wasn t wearing gloves, and it seemed like he may have been eating while serving. The portions were very small for the price $30 for four mini tacos with no sides like lime, sour cream, or guacamole. I asked the waitress for lime, but despite the restaurant not being busy, she never brought it. While the food was tasty, it was overpriced for the portion size, and the service was poor. We won t be returning and dont recommend it.

Bad. Just bad. Margarita pitcher was some sort of nondescript juice. Theres no way I could walk straight after what was advertised as 8oz of alcohol in less than an hour. Not only did I walk straight , I was able to walk backwards on a curbstone. Two servers obviously couldnt wait to get out of there. Food was just as good as in one of those Mexican fast food joints. The reason for the second star is because the patio is really cute. I wouldnt go back.

It s not my favourite to leave a negative review, especially for a place that is visually quite nice, and with a beautiful outdoor patio However, my husband and I visited on the weekend and ordered two bowls and I was very disappointed in the quality of the food. My husband had the pork Carnitas bowl and it was bland and boring. The bigger issue though was that I ordered the Baja cauliflower bowl and it was completely inedible. The extremely strong flavour of balsamic vinegar took over the entire dish and I could not eat more than two bites. Why is there such a strong balsamic taste on Mexican food? Incredibly disappointed as I was really looking forward to eating in such a cute location.

Tried a take-away chicken burrito about 3 weeks ago, maybe the best Ive ever had (non-spicy variant), succulent & humungous. Loved the sweet cabbage filling. Quite pristine inside, spacious & bright with a very inviting garden pati o attached. 3 clean, well maintained WCs. Exterior front & entrance area a little rough... needs a paint job. Look forward to sampling other menu items.

My sister and I recently had an extremely disappointing experience at Bent Taco. Despite the restaurant having numerous open tables, we were turned away because we were told they were all reserved. The man at the front was clearly not being honest with us. It felt like he was making excuses rather than providing a genuine reason. If you value good customer service, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

The food is good but man this place is SO overpriced. I have no issue whatsoever paying high prices for food and often do but $20 for chips salsa and a small amount of guacamole. I ve ordered this at many many restaurants and I ve never seen it close to $20. EVER. $16 for 2 cauliflower tacos . I mean come on. I just don t think I can eat here again regardless of enjoying the food. I leave feeling taking advantage of like I m being bent (taco) over.

My friends & I were sadly disappointed given the good reviews that we read prior. We had chips with guacamole, cheese quesadia, sweet corn elote, fish tacos & beef brisket tacos. The kid that was with us, enjoyed the quesadia & the adults liked the fish tacos, but that is where any enjoyment ended. The brisket tasted more like pulled pork. The corn elote gave the impression it was straight from the can. We needed to ask for napkins & cutlery. I cant remember the last time I had to ask for these basics at a restaurant. We had our meal outside on what I think was a driveway with a beautiful view of the neighbours driveway as a bonus.

August 21, 2024

I went to Bent Taco last night with my family. Initially, we were pleased with our food, but once we had finished about 2/3 of our order of Tot Supreme, I took a bite and ended up with two small rocks in my mouth. Fortunately I didn t crack a tooth. We let the server know and although she apologized, no other action was taken. We were still charged for the dish, despite being unable to finish it. To add insult to injury, we looked at the bill once we got home and realized that we had also been charged for a drink that we never ordered. If you choose to eat here, take your bites carefully and be sure to double check your bill before paying.

On vacation and this location had great reviews. We had the brisket tacos,fish taco and chicken taco and all were awesome and the flavor was on point. My only suggestion would be that they double up on the taco shells as the juices soak through the shell on the brisket taco because the meat is so juicy . Also had the churro and the were wonderful!. We ate on the patio, great atmosphere. Visit this place you will not be disappointed.

If you re looking for an authentic taste of Mexican tacos, this place isn t for you. They drench everything in sauce which was extremely underwhelming. The fried zucchini is soggy and not crispy at all (not made fresh). The flavours were lacking and it was just not worth it.

Visiting Collingwood and decided to try out Bent Taco without making a reservation. We didn t realize today is Tuesday - Taco Tuesday . They kindly squeezed us in even though they had a rush of patrons and the kitchen was getting slammed. The wait staff were warm and inviting. They made great drink recommendations for us. We ordered all of the tacos. Shockingly the beet tacos were bangers! Shoot, we might go back there tomorrow for some more. The Kitchen staff did an amazing job making all of the tacos but those beet tacos *chefs kiss* Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options were terrific. Thank you Bent Taco! Parking: Street parking and parking lot across the street

Tables are sticky, floor looks like its seen some life, flies buzzing over my head and my food. Food is average, not amazing, but not terrible either. The service seems very sneaky about its pricing. E.g. 2 tacos are 16$ but if you pick 2 different ones its 9$ each = 18$, which theyre not very upfront about. The half price Taco Tuesday is also not advertised at all anywhere, and customers only find out when the server brings more food than ordered, and pretend to misheard so they can bring up the half price. Some people are even surprised to not get that deal when they get the bill because you have to get a drink from the cocktail menu, talk about not being up front, you could at least mention that so we know how to economically eat your food without burning through my hard earned pay cheque. Say I ordered 60$ worth of tacos without getting a drink. What you can do is suggest order a drink, which means I get to enjoy a drink and still pay less while youll earn more tips for being mindful and proactive, just a little suggestion...

After hearing lots of rave reviews of Bent Taco, I was super excited to try it and hoped that I would like it since it was around the corner from where I live. We ordered two burritos and a beet chorizo taco kit. We tried the beet chorizo taco kit first and were impressed by the guac and the filling and thought it was absolutely delicious. We gave these a 6.2/7 (we score everything out of 7). This high score made us excited for the burritos. We got the chicken and cauliflower burrito. On first look we were a little bit disappointed with the size of the burrito. It was a bit on the smaller end for the price. The disappointment continued as we started eating the burritos. The burritos were really just rolled up rice with tiny bits of other filling. I totally understand under serving filling for chicken but even the cauliflower one had minimal filling. A cauliflower is a cheap vegetable, certainly they could have put more in. We were also disappointed with the lack of flavour in the filling. The cauliflower just tasted like deep fried and breaded cauliflower that was overly salted, with zero Mexican flavour or influence. The chicken was dry and again, no flavour to it. Both burritos scored an abysmal 2.2/7 with the worst scores being taste and value for money as the burritos are quite expensive for 97% of it being unflavoured rice. Overall, I was disappointed in my experience at Bent but hope to try it again and am hoping that I just caught them on an off night. I will update this review if/when I do try it again. Thank you.

Tacos tacos tacos. There are a lot of taco places around these days, but for this area, Bent Taco is sort of an OG. And it deserves to hold onto its reputation. Good tacos to eat there and great takeout kits too. They re not the cheapest and I would love it if they were a tad cheaper, but their tacos are definitely repeat custom. Their street corn elote is also fantastic and full of flavour. A good degree of variety for meat eaters, pescatarians and vegetarians too. If you re eating in or even getting take out, they make a great classic margarita. Overall, a good vibe if you re eating in, either inside in the cooler months or al fresco once things warm up. Low-key mellow.

I usually dont give out bad reviews but this one I felt I should. We went in actually for brunch on a Saturday. The server was nice. It was I believe the owner or manager who left a very bad impression. I asked for an extra chair because I had a heavy bag and I didnt want to keep it on floor. Now this server told us to take one from next table so I myself was about to pick where the manager guy came in and said we are fully reserved and you cant take the chair. We told the server already we would keep it back if anyone comes in. No one for the next one hour came and sat next to us. Its fine we understand restaurant was busy but he sounded rude. We almsot came to think it could be because of my brown skin . We didnt enjoy there at all. Food was bland too, not to my taste. But no objection to that. To each their own. Just felt low exiting that place. Just because your restaurant is full doesnt mean you treat people like nobody. Again I know it was only a chair. But thats my point, it was only a chair.

Really enjoyed this small taco spot. Everything was tasty, hot, timing was spot on. It was good value for what was paid and we would return!

May 21, 2024

Upon arrival there was a line in which we were 2nd, the people behind us also had a reservation and were seated before us, despite the fact that we too had a reservation. Then, when the food arrived, I asked why the food was served as 4 tacos on one plate and 2 on the other, when we both placed an order for 3 tacos each. When i asked the server/bartender why, he said they serve it family style . Instead of resolving the issue he was persistent, and I had to reach over the table to eat the taco that I ordered. Very rude and unprofessional. Finally, the corn elote is just canned corn with mayo and little seasoning, absolutely disappointing and waste of money.

We went with three of us any our newborn and it was kid friendly (it helped that it was Sunday night). The food however was nothing amazing. The baja fish taco was ok but had a bit of a fishy taste. The bao could have had a bit more sauce and the filling could have been warmer. The sweet potato tostadas however were very good, I would absolutely recommend them. All in this is worth a try! Would enjoy coming back in the summer for the patio. Kid-friendliness: Easy with a newborn (although it wasn t busy).

Better than it should be. I dont mean that in the bad sense. Its just that the tacos are so good, youre taken by surprise, pleasantly taken by surprise. The Cubano sandwich is unreal and definitely a must try. Server was fantastic and very attentive, even when the store was busy. She was great.

Delicious. The vegan nachos are also gluten-free and they put pickled onions on them which was amazing. Hopefully they get more gluten-free vegan things on their menu. I will be coming back Vegetarian options: A relatively good selection of vegan things Dietary restrictions: Need more gluten-free things that are also vegan.

This place was hyped up a lot and we have been trying to go every time we are in CW. We finally made reso and set out with some friends. I must say, I expected a lot more out of the overall experience when you are spending $60 a head for an appetizer, tacos and a couple drinks each. Not to mention tipping on the machine starting at 18% and going up to 25% The vegan nachos were pretty bare with the thinness sliced of jalapeño and not much else to them. The beef taco was 10/10, one of the best I have had. I wish I would have just gotten three of those because the fish and chicken were just ok. The service was not remarkable in any way, just your basic what do you want and we had to ask for the basics.. plates.. forks.. extra napkins.. we just gave up when we got two forks for a table or four people. The spot was really cool, nice large room with some old hardwood floors. I loved the room.

Good food, great service and atmosphere. Went for a Friday night dinner, made a reservation online about a week in advance. Drinks were fun but a bit on the weak side. We ordered 3 tacos each, I found the portion side to be generous compared to other taco places. We got the Baja fish (5/5) and the chicken tinga (3/5). Tinga was DROWNING in the crema, I wouldnt recommend it.

It s my first time eating out and paying the bill in Canada in 5 years. I ve been living in Europe. I ve found taco places in southern France, southern Germany , Northern Italy. The tacos here were good and well portioned for price I thought at first. But then comes the bill with 18% tax plus the tip prompt on the machine for 18% being the minimum. I quite shocked at that and I felt pressured with the machine prompt. Actually just embarrassed that Canadas inflation reflect here and in the housing /rental market. The service was pleasant but not on point. I prefer since living abroad, consistent fair service over pleasantries. Being told that your table of two will be served after the big tables that sat after you was a poor show and then serving bigger tables more throughly because , I can only assume the tips would be bigger , also reflects poorly. It was not a pleasure to eat out as it is in Europe. I really wish Canadas service industry the beat for the future. I would not take anyone out to eat cali style tacos here. Canadians who have never eaten in Mexico or America or Spain won t know the difference. This message will be deleted in April. Because this is just feedback and I don t want it to stay for too long . It s for the owners . Check out CTV news article : Is tipping getting out of hand? Here are some lessons from other countries. I can attest to the facts in the article. Thank you Bill for two people , guacamole chips, 6 tacos, two alcoholic drinks , tax and tip, $ 118 that s 80 and I would normally pay 46 for two burritos, 3 drinks and appetizer.

Was really excited to go back here after a few years, but was reminded of why we took that hiatus. The food just isn t what you expect from a sit down Mexican restaurant - it feels more like takeout quality that should cost half the price. The nachos felt bland for the price. The rice in burritos was soft and mushy. And oddly there was a weird smell of body odour in the whole restaurant that almost made us leave before ordering.

bent Taco, where the taco bowl had more drama than a soap opera drowning in sauce like its auditioning for a swimming pool. The chicken was cold enough to make Antarctica jealous. Ambience? If beige had a theme song, itd play here. The servers disappearing act was top-notch maybe they were on a quest for the legendary missing spice. Its a culinary rollercoaster I wont be hopping on again!

Wanna start by saying that our server (Rose) was amazing and very welcoming. Food was plated nicely but subpar, pretty bland , meat was very very dry. Although the different kinds of coleslaw on the tacos were pretty fresh and had good flavour. Really didn t like the guy s vibe , I think he was the owner . Not sure what his problem was but he was very cold with our table while he was so friendly with everyone else (he kept asking everybody around us how everything was , while skipping us and completely ignoring us and not even making eye contact . It started when we brought an almost empty water bottle coz we came from a hike and he impolitely asked us to put it away, very standoffishly. It was our first time there and the other staff were very nice but it seems like this guy had a problem with us after that interaction . Definitely won t be coming back , but other people may like it depending on how the owner may treat you and if they ve never had real actual tacos . Would recommend the Kalbi BAO though.

Bent Taco was surprisingly cozy with friendly staff and quick service. We sharedthe Baja fish, the Meat & potatoes tacos with brisket, and the Tots Supreme V2 as an appetizer. They were all amazing. The tacos were crispy, tender, and flavorful, and the tots were cheesy and spicy. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. Bent Taco lives upnto its name and is some of the best food in Collingwood.

I really wanted to like this place. I had gone years back and had a good experience, great cocktails and fresh food. Tonight, was another story. We got there just after 7 pm. The hostess was hesitant to have us in because they needed the table in an hour although by the time we left (within 45 minutes) the place was empty. She probably hated that we had a sleeping baby in a car seat who made no fuss during the entire experience, as she looked at him first before asking us to wait at the bar until they figured out where to put us (there were 5 open tables for 2-4 and one of 6 opening up). Waitress was good. I think it was her third day or something. We got the spicy pineapple Margarita and a Corona. Can t screw up a bottled beer, but the Marg had no salt rim. Confusing, and definitely needed something to balance the jalapeño. Didn t taste the tequila or pineapple, and jalapeño seeds should have been strained out. Next, onto dinner. We started with the street corn salad. Essentially, it was an arugula and spiralled jicama mountain with frozen corn at the bottom. It lacked flavour, any salt, no acid, no crema, no Oaxaca. And yes; frozen, watery corn. We were so disappointed. The tacos: meat and potatoes and Baja fish. The meat was roast beef at best. I was waiting for some heat, a nice sauce . It was lacking. They were also oily. As for the Baja fish, they were thin frozen fish sticks. Best thing on the plate was the slaw. Now, dessert: we got the churros and the ice cream cookie sandwich. 3 churros came out and were huge; looked great. But I had to ask, are these filled? NO. How about a dipping sauce? NO. They clearly missed the mark here, with a great opportunity for a nice chocolate sauce or dulce de leche. The cookie sandwich was okay; basic chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream cut in half, and topped with the most bizarre mixture: lucky charms, chocolate chips, and a red sauce which we assumed was cherry or strawberry (?) once again, confusing. Where this dessert had too much going on, the other was just 3 plain churros. In my mind, if I were chef, I would grab those chocolate chips, melt them down, and at least drizzle the churros if not serve on the side as a dip or filling them as they come hot out of the fryer. They try very hard to be trendy; 80s movie playing at the bar, Indy no name bands and Michael Jackson playing extremely loud over the speakers, and a sombrero on a wall but they need to really close doors and realign themselves finding what they re truly accomplishing here. Definitely not worth the hype.

Its a rare delight to discover a venue that can expertly concoct a perfect crushed ice mojito, whip up delectable fresh-made fish tacos, and present an unforgettable pork belly bao. This place has skillfully achieved all three, and our server, Tim, was instrumental in enriching our overall dining experience. Starting with the mojito, the balance between the fresh mint, tangy lime juice, and white rum was harmonious, each ingredient complementing the others in a refreshing fusion of flavors. The crushed ice was amply provided, perfectly maintaining the drinks enticing chill from the first sip to the last. Each taste was an invigorating delight, reminiscent of a relaxing afternoon at a tropical beachside bar. Tims expertise and enthusiasm for the cocktail were evident as he eloquently described its crafting process, adding a personal touch to the overall experience. Moving on to the tacos - the fish tacos were sheer perfection. Fresh, soft tortillas set the stage for the star of the dish: flawlessly cooked, flaky fish. The combination of tender fish, crisp pickled cabbage, and homemade lime crema resulted in a symphony of flavours that was both exciting and comforting. The stand-out dish of the night, however, was the pork belly bao, freshly crafted by the head chef (whose name I later found out to be Justin). The steamed buns were pillowy soft, and fresh, providing the perfect contrast to the succulent, melt-in-your-mouth pork belly. The balance of flavors between the savory pork, the sweet hoisin sauce, the tangy pickles, and his pickled homemade onions were simply divine. Justin truly showed his dedication to delivering a memorable dining experience and delivering the most delicious meals. Moving onto Tim. His service was impeccable, matching the high quality of the food and drink. He was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were always filled and our plates were never empty. His friendly demeanour and insightful recommendations added a personal touch that made the meal even more enjoyable and wait until you hear his jokes, he will keep you laughing all night long!! Pairing the mojito with the flavourful fish tacos and the unforgettable pork belly bao made for a dining experience that was both satisfying and memorable. The combination of the fresh, zesty mojito, the hearty, savory tacos, and the soft, flavorful bao created a balance that was nothing short of gastronomic perfection. In conclusion, this place is a must-visit for anyone seeking a fantastic crushed ice mojito, mouthwatering fresh-made fish tacos, and a unique pork belly bao. And if you get the chance, ask for Tim - his service truly makes the experience unforgettable. This winning combination delivers an experience that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you longing for more. Cheers to the General Manager and his staff for creating the perfect environment!

The plant based options are a rare find and the Baja fish tacos are the best weve ever had! We 100 % recommend this place and will most definitely will be back. A must try for any visitors from out of town, the meal will be a highlight of your visit. Were from out of town and come to Collingwood for weekend visits a few times a year. This past visit, we ate there 3 times - yes that means twice in one day! A bit embarrassing but it speaks to how much we love the food and overall experience. The manager / owner was super friendly and went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience each visit! Thanks again and see you next time!

One of the worst restaurants I have been too. Let me start off by saying the food looks like something I would not feed my dogs. Horrible taste and the service is worse than the food. Everyone places an order and staff show up and yell out everyone s order no idea who ordered what. Some of the guests eating with us had the other persons tacos on their plate and the waitress would say oh your taco is on their plate , okay why ?? They added 20 percent tip to our table, which is fine but when the waitress came and I paid in cash she asked how much cash I wanted back ? I told her tip was added already right ? She said oh yea , then forgot to give me my change and when I finally got it she short changed me . The food also made the group I came with all sick and threw up that night . Over priced , small portions , horrible food . Next time I would go to Harvey s before I step back in here .

The service for food however was very slow - it took about an hour for our tacos to arrive, which was a little surprising for a taco place. But the ambiance of the tiny place, carved out of a beautifully renovated older home, and the server who was attentive and apologetic for the wait, made the wait not so bad. Hope to go back!
