Food was ok but not worth the price. This place used to be my favourite, lost if meat on the tacos with a really good taste. It used to be full of people, their food was fresh. I was there just now, very little meat on the tacos and had no flavour they didn’t seem fresh at all. And now there was next to no people and was really expensive. Definitely not what it used to be. Not recommending this place
This was a nice place to have authentic Mexican tacos. The only thing which stood out was the robotic waiter who brought food to one table. We got here after 8 as it was one of the few places opened at the time. The place was clean and had Mexican show playing on the TV. Menu had a variety of options, but the special was only for Pork tacos. Needless to say there were variety of other options if pork isn’t your thing. Tacos were good, but nothing stood out other than it’s a totally higher level than Taco Bell’s taco.
Probably the best mexican food in Leamington. The tostados are top notch, the beef tacos are delish and the tacos birria are amazing. The sauces add a nice amount of spice and flavour as well. The restaurant is always clean with lots of seating. The parking lot is only a short distance away with lots of spots with extra accessible parking spots. Love the new (robot) “waiter”. Good prices for the amount of food you get and the quality.
Birria Tacos are Amazing there !! Love the atmosphere too ,very busy on a Friday night but service is fast,friendly and efficient. Also had the beef enchiladas with red salsa ,was very good ,definitely would order it again 👍🏻
beautiful place with an established clientele, such a shame i didn’t receive any customer service. as a server myself i do my best to understand both sides of the story but was very disappointed today. i was brought out enchiladas which i did not eat, took two bites and could not continue. the chicken was very obviously old, it tasted like it was left in the fridge uncovered and then heated up. everything else was ok and we did eat what was good. at the end nobody came by to ask if we needed anything or if everything was okay. went up to pay, was asked if everything was okay and i explained that i did not like the enchiladas and could not eat them ( left the plate quite literally full) and all i received in response was “that’s a shame, here’s your total.” ridiculous to pay full price for mediocre service and for something i took two bites of.
I only gave 4/5 on the food, but I wish I could do 4.5. My friends and I really enjoyed everything about the place. There was a great selection of Mexican dishes, the service was quick and attentive, the food was fresh and delicious. I would definitely return the next time I'm in Leamington.
Stepping into Hot Tacos feels like being transported to the vibrant streets of Mexico City. The lively ambiance, adorned with colorful decor and lively music, sets the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the birria broth, a flavorful concoction that warmed both the body and soul. Rich and aromatic, each spoonful offered a tantalizing burst of spices and savory goodness. While my friends raved about the tacos, I opted to try the octopus dish. While the flavors were decent, I found the texture to be a bit tough and the seasoning slightly too salty for my taste. With a bit of fine-tuning, it could become a standout dish on the menu. Despite the minor hiccup with the octopus, my overall dining experience at this location was enjoyable. The attentive service and inviting ambiance combined with the delicious birria broth make it a restaurant worth returning to for another taste of Mexico’s culinary delights.
Even though the order of tacos was not correct the food was delicious and allowed me to try something I probably would not, tongue. The chips and salsas that were brought to the table were amazing and reminded me of being in Mexico. The service was okay but I truly believe it was due to a large birthday party in the back. The restaurant was very nice and clean and the staff was very friendly.
Its small, but very clean and the food is delicious.
Stopped in for lunch while visiting the area with a friend. The menu is big, with a lot to choose from. The tacos and tostadas that we ordered arrived quickly and were huge in portion size. Both were really delicious as well, and we left very satiated. Atmosphere was sometimes loud, but nothing to really complaint about. Overall, this place has authentic Mexican food, the food is delicious with large portions, and decent prices! Vegetarian options: Not a lot of vegetarian options - maybe 1 item in a few sections of the menu. Quite a meat heavy menu, as is expected for Mexican cuisine.
Delicious food, excellent service, cozy atmosphere, without a doubt an authentic Mexican restaurant, 100% recommended, especially if it is with family or friends.
Was there last weekend and probably the worst in service and I took home food and it still wasnt palatable. Yes I told them and they charged extra for chips to take the bad taste away. Dont waste your time...not worth the investment.
Really good restaurant! Parking in the back.
Hot Tacos is a hidden gem in Leamington! The tacos are always fresh, flavorful, and packed with authentic taste. The variety on the menu is great, and the service is fast and friendly. If you re craving delicious Mexican food, this is the place to go!
Would not recommend, in fairness I live in Los Angeles, so my expectations and familiarity may differ.... That being said... if you are looking for a place where you can spend a little over a 100 cdn for two, no atmosphere that suggests date nite, other than authentic food. This is your place. Personally I would go elsewhere..
Authentic Mexican tacos. Lengua was quite good.
Superb tacos! Will definitely be back for more. Plus there was a serving robot that makes you feel youre in the future! Some sort of delicious taco future!
1st time here . I ordered a torta today it was amazing. Even my picky child was stealing my torta. Staff in the kitchen were wearing gloves and everyone was super attentive and friendly. Definitely going back
Got food poisoning and service was bad, place is so dirty
I LOVED the birra tacos. I found the vegetarian taco to be underwhelming.
Hot Tacos is a true gem when it comes to authentic Mexican cuisine! From the moment you walk in, the vibrant atmosphere transports you straight to the heart of Mexico. The décor is colorful and inviting, and the warm staff makes you feel right at home. The food was incredible hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Every dish we tried, from the tacos to the flantas was seasoned perfectly and had that authentic homemade touch. The salsas and toppings were fresh, and the portions were generous. We re so impressed that Hot Tacos will definitely be our new go-to stop for Mexican food!
They should update the prices on the menu, it is not worth deceiving the consumer and when you go to pay at the cashier they charge you more.
It was a great menu that explained everything we needed to know in English. We shared a Chorizo Tostada and a Chicken Gringa. They were delicious. And we got a pico de Gallo and guacamole to go. Again, the next day they were delicious as an afternoon snack. Seating and service was prompt and their method of cashing out using just your table number was very efficient. Everyone working there seemed very happy doing their job. The cooks started singing along to a song that was playing. Loved that. It truly was a happening place with a dining room full of people enjoying their tastes of home. Highly recommend
Great Mexican food in Leamington! Super tasty, good service and mood! Teal Mexican!!!
Great service and friendly staff I love going here for tacos and there burritos are really good also definitely got to try it !
Weve been regulars at Hot Tacos, enjoying their tacos almost every week. The tacos were usually delicious, and we particularly loved the tacos with Shrimp and bacon, which we ordered a couple of weeks ago. The taco was big, tasty, and worth the price of $8/1 However, our experience today was disappointing. We ordered two tacos with croquettes and bacon, some hot sauce, and other tacos. The size was significantly smaller than the previous week, and there wasnt a single piece of bacon. Instead, the tacos were filled with a lot of onions and peppers, with only a few shrimp. This was quite different from the delicious taco we had before. Additionally, the tacos al pastor, which are typically served with pineapple slices, were missing them this time. To make matters worse, we had asked for spicy salsa but were instead given a tasteless barbecue sauce. We weren t informed about the lack of the usual ingredients or the change in sauce, which was a letdown. We hope Hot Tacos addresses these inconsistencies, as the quality and ingredients should remain consistent.
Greeted and got the table right away, friendly staffs, food and sauce were delicious and spicy. The atmosphere gave me a Mexican vibe. Reasonable price.
The food took forever the food wasnt cooked it was raw and the price was unbelievable it was 100 dollars for 3 normal burgers and 7 small tacos but the service was good I dont want to go back I had to throw up after that never going back
Ordered pickup and the tacos given had no toppings on them. I called the restaurant to let them know about my issue and they said theyd send a driver to deliver the food in 35 min. We waited for 2 hours and I drove back down to the restaurant only for them to say that the food was on the way to the house. We waited another 30 min and the driver who said hed be at my house in 15 min lied and said he never had my order to begin with. There are better options in town
Ordered a special of 7 tacos with 2 pops. They had no diet pop, so we had to get bottled water instead. Also ordered a Cheese Quesadilla which was rather tasteless. When food arrived, it was an assortment of only 6 tacos. Tacos were ok but nothing special. Very greasy. Maybe they should teach cooks to count? We didnt want any more, so I didnt complain. Besides, ...food was served by a robot that parked too far away. I had to get up to get food. They had more staff on than customers, so I am not sure why they had to resort to a robot! Guess service by a robot cuts down on complaints? Personally, I wouldnt recommend, nor would I return here. Whole place could use a good cleaning. Watched a girl wrap spoons in a napkin (I assumed for soup) using bare hands on the bowl of the spoon instead of the handle. YUK!
Amazing food and very Nice straff. It is a msut visit if you are close.
They take a long time to take the order... bad service
Terrible service
Very delicious Mexican food
Pleasant
The mix grill dish of vegetables and different types of meat is delicious. Like seriously better than most Mexican we get in Toronto. The meat is moist and flavorful. Great dish, worth the money for the amount of food you get.
Fantastic.
Very good food and service was awesome. Will be back!
The tacos were so good! Best Tacos Al Pastor Ive had in Ontario. The taco special is such a great deal. Three tacos and a pop for $10!! The beans were delicious. The free chips and hot sauces were amazing, especially the green sauce. All the tacos I tried were great. There is a robot that brings food from the kitchen, which is pretty cool. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond. Next time Im in Leamington, Ill be back to try more.
What terrible service and lack of respect for customers. I dont recommend it. NOTE: A good product is of no use if attention is of no use. Terrible service, people look for them because they are hungry, not to wait for more than 1 hour. Bad attention. I hope the owner reads it and doesnt leave it unnoticed.
Home delivery more than an hour and a half, the food arrives very cold
Everything was excellent, the food was delicious as if I were back in Mexico, the prices were super affordable, the waitress who served us was a super friendly Oaxacan! 100 out of 10!
Were on visit number 5 and its been excellent every time. The menu can vary a little depending on any ingredients that may have run out, to me thats a damn good sign that everything is as fresh as possible. I appreciate how hard the entire staff works here to keep the quality high. I highly recommend you give this restaurant a chance.
The servers are so friendly and helpful. I have eaten here a few times and everything has been so good.
I just discovered this restaurant, and in the past 2 weeks, Ive been back 4 times. Absolutely amazing food, service, and pricing!!! This restaurant is an absolute gem of Leamington
Good pork tacos, rice and beans
We had the 3 tacos and a pop for $9.99 special. We were able to choose 3 different ones. While youre waiting for your food, they give complimentary chips with 4 sauces to choose from. All of them were tasty and a couple with a kick of heat. Our meal was brought out to our table by a robot server. The kids would love it. My only complaint would be, we sat too close to a speaker and the music (although helped with the atmosphere because of it being Mexican style music) was just too loud. Im sure they would have turned it down if requested. But we didnt want to ruin it for other patrons, that might be enjoying it further from the speaker.
Terrible service from almost all the staff. The flavor is not the best. Not recommended
Good place to have a Mexican meal.
Food was amazing.
Super tasty and good price Excellent service and atmosphere
Worst service ever and i didn t came here from windsor for boiled chicken.
Very delicious food and a nice place. The attention is excellent but only from the men. The waitresses, only the slim brunette Mexican girl with glasses, are excellent.
Really really tasty tacos. I was told this is the best place in Leamington. I believe it.
Terrible service, one hour waiting and there is still no healthy atmosphere, they fight among themselves, they cant handle it, if they want a big restaurant, hire people who can handle it.
Every time I come to Leamington, I have to stop for tacos. I like to alternate between hot tacos restaurant and hot tacos street food. Both are awesome! One has flour tortillas, the other corn tortillas. Wont be disappointed with either choice. Best tacos in Southern Ontario! And this is coming from someone who loves to travel the west coast of California where I go on a taco-only diet!
We had a weekend getaway within leamington and were told to go try this place. We were excited to experience authentic food, especially from Latin America but was quickly dissapointed with the experience here. The food is simply not at all what a real taco is and thats bot even because of a lack of ingredients. Its a lack of interest and effort to make them true to what this dish it. A tortilla with undercooked pale chicken, no tomato, no cream or sauce, and the cost being 4.50 per single taco isnt worth it. The salsa is shared throughout the entire place rather than having your own individual amount at your table so constantly having to go hunt for it becomes annoying. I tried them and got sick from them, still having some stomach issues from them. Not a great experience. Should put more care and effort into their work.
We have eaten here numerous times and the food is really good. I cant get enough of their chorizo and El Pastor tacos. The tortilla chips are made fresh, and the salsas vary from hot to sweet. They have introduced a robotic runner to deliver the food, but we have found, since the introduction of this, the service is a little lacking. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend this place.
Delicious!
Absolutely the best tacos in Leamington and we tried several restaurants, Hot Tacos came on top! All their tacos are top notch, their sauces are amazing and the staff is the best. Just go here! Follow me on Instagram @chefelpadre to view the video reel of my visit to this amazing restaurant!
The worst thing is, it takes more than 40 minutes to deliver your order, and when they deliver, they serve you cold, raw food. And besides, they serve you badly. I wont go back to that place again.
The nicest people serving delicious AND AUTHENTIC Mexican cuisine. What more does one need to know?
Wow! Hot Tacos is a Hot Place to go in Leamington! Very popular and busy. There are at least a dozen staff working at top speed to serve you, including a robot! And the food did not disappoint. Nachos to start followed by good sized entrees, flavoured nicely with nice cold crispy lettuce too! And my partner had a really nice chunk of Flan for dessert. Best Mexican food Ive had in a long time.
Everything was on point!
My husband and I, had a late lunch at Hot Tacos in Leamington today, and both of us ordered the flautas de pollo, and the fresh juice, squeezed in-house. Even though our server told us the name of it twice, and the cashier told us once, I still dont know the name but it was delicious; reminded me of a pomagranate/berry blend...I will definately order it again. I also loved the flautas de pollo (chicken flutes). Although the quatro salsa (4 salsas) served with the appetizer chips was too spicy for me, I discovered it was muy delicioso trickled over my flautas. I hope that wasnt weird to do. The staff were amazing, friendly and welcoming. Food was served fairly quickly, and the price was very reasonable. On the way home I suggested this become our new Saturday lunch place. I only have 2 thumbs but I want to give this place and la comida, 4 thumbs up.
I dont recommend it since the delivery of the food is very slow, approximately 1 hour, how bad
They have great food. The Mexicans have the best
Consistently great flavour.
I door dashed food from hot tacos and it was quick and delicious They forgot my guacamole but i forgive them as i ordered too much food anyways lol . The servings are larger than expected. Food
Was good food What my wife is actually looking to have without going mexico. Food
They have a new location with some new menu options and it is still amazing! Great food and fast service!!! It is always full and crowed at 12pm daily so try to get in before that. Its lives up to is name by having some spicy food and dips but you can ask for it mild as well. I definitely recommend it!!
Atmosphere was great and the food was delicious!
The food is extremely delicious and affordable while the staff was attentive and very friendly. The murals on the walls are beautiful and well painted. This is my go to mexican food spot. If I had to critique something Id say the restaurant is a wee bit warm but that couldve been me. 5/5 experience.
They took away the chips, I tipped them when paying but I regretted it, then they gave bad service, I wanted to order other things, the place was full and there was never a waiter.
The service has gotten worse, they no longer take orders correctly and they dont send you what you ask for or they ignore you if you ask them not to add an ingredient.
Every dine in is always satisfying!
Clean yes but they take a while to bring the orders haa but very delicious zason, there is another restaurant in front of there and the service is better and has the same zason the truth is I recommend it better than hot tacos, try the horchata water and the seasonal champurrado cold
Absolutely delicious food, great serving size. Toppings were plentiful. Amazing! Definitely recommend!
Very yummy tacos. Service was fast and food came out quickly. We had some business to attend to in Leamington and randomly choose Hot Tacos and were pleased with our choice.
Highly recommended restaurant! Great service, great food and great value for the money! Will definitely return and Ill be bringing friends! ====Feb 12, 2023 Update ====== This place is worth the drive from Windsor for real authentic Mexican food.
Much better than taco Tony. Flavour ful. Give some chips and sauce while you wait. Excellent
Good Mexican food in Leamington Ontario. I will go again. Great location Food : 5/5
Mexican food
Meh not the best in town. Demeanor of some of the weight staff is more of an inconvenience that youre there. The food was 2-3/10 at best. I could have asked for a takeout box from all the oil on my plate and done an oil change for free. Wont be back.
Amazing Mexixan food. Will definitely be returning many times!
They are very well prepared.
Friend took us there, great tasting lunch and service was good. Was not disappointed, $10 lunch and left full.
The food was not bad. Everything came in pretty quickly. The quantity of the food was very good.
The beef broth with vegetables is very delicious. I recommend it to anyone coming to Leagminton. Excellent place to eat
Very awesome and authentic
I would eat here every night if given the opportunity! A classic take on tacos but their burritos and tostada s are to die for.. they take Mexican food to the highest level! Wether your on date night, chilling with friends or just hungry, this is the destination of choice!!! I highly recommend the lamb tacos!!! You will never be disappointed here!
Best birria tacos I ve had, and the best salsa selection I ve had outside of Mexico. These guys are so friendly and the service is fast! My husband and I drive 40km to eat here.
Tried for the first time. Good food and very affordable. Love the cueritos! Highly recommended. Will go back!
Very good!
Excellent
Great tacos, good deal for 3 tacos and a drink for 9.99. Chorizo is very good. Careful if cilantro tastes like soap for you, not the restaurants fault though.
The best tacos EVER and the birria is to die for! Cozy, colourful and great vibes. Worth the drive to Leamington.
Great food
Stopped in Leamington for lunch, was recommended this spot. Small establishment on the main downtown street. Inside there are about 12 tables for 4, where they sit people in mixed groups depending on the size of the party (ie 2 parties of 2). We waited about 20 min for a table for 4. Food is prepaid, including the tip which I dont agree with at all. Cant tip someone for service when I havent been served even a cup of water. We got a combination of different tacos. They were OK to good, so probably a 5-7 over 10. The home made hot sauces at the table were very good. Prices were pretty steep for a taco shop in Leamington, anywhere from $4-7 + tax/taco. Seemed more like GTA prices for a fancy joint.
Delicious authentic Mexican. Very accommodating to the vegan n our group
Nothing extraordinary, its a clean place with average service
Very good seasoning Kid-friendliness: Everything perfectly
Best Tacos
Food was delicious. Server recommended a huaracha, which was great. The menus we found were in Spanish, so if youre not familiar, I recommend using the website to get the menu. Food
We ordered 47$ worth of food over the phone, we had our Jamaican friends go pick it up for us and we got charged double the price and did not receive half of the food we ordered.We called back to try and sort it out and she Hung up on us and said we are closing this was about 20mins before close. It was very disappointing and was clearly an act of racism. I really expected more from a locally owned business. Will never be ordering here again.
This place is a need to stop and eat, great inside with beyond explosive flavoured food. Must try the brown hot pepper with their tasty tacos!
Its a mexican liberal restaurant I dont recommend it
Great tasting chorizo. Generous amount of meat.
Everything is excellent..
Not fresh for sure, but loved only the beef younger tacos
My family and I got tacos and horchata and everything was absolutely delicious. Service was great, very friendly. Would definitely come back again!
Found this spot on a road trip , excellent food and service. Will definitely be back.
Stopped and looked in the window Sure glad we went in food was great Food
Randomly googling food places while in town (Leamington) on a trip on my motorcycle. The pictures here looked pretty good, so decided to try em out. Wow. The food here is some of the absolute best Mexican food I have had in Canada hands down! The service here, (even though they were packed) was amazing, and really quick! The server made some excellent recommendations. This is some excellent Mexican fare right here. Everything we ordered (which was ALOT!) Was top notch, and portions were generous. Absolutely will eat here again, and highly recommend!!
Very friendly staff very good Tacos
Great tacos for a reasonable price I will be back Food
The tacos at Erie location are not bad however the service is not good but the worst is the one they have at Oak St. The place is empty and dirty, the food is not fresh at all. The meat was cold and dry, the salsas were old and spoiled. They overcharged for 2 orders of tacos. We ended up paying over 70 dollars and honestly I wont mind paying that when the food is good. We wont come back.
Very tasty food and fast service !
Fantastic delicious tacos!
Best tacos in Leamington, hands down !
If you are around Leamington. You must visit Hot Tacos to taste the best tacos.
Small but good restaurant to have Mexican food. Seasoning is right on the spot, which is hard to get outside of Mexico. Extremely friendly people. Food : 5/5
The soups lacked a lot of flavour so I wouldnt recommend those but everything else was delicious and at a good price point.
I like this place fresh food customer service is very good and its a nice cozy place.
We had tostadas and tres leces cake it was AWESOME!!! Great service and a lot of food for the price! Food : 5/5
I love their tacos.Taste good.
Very helpful and friendly people and they get the food ready in a very short time. They have the best tacos! I would recommend to go here for Mexican tacos
Friendly service open till 10pm. Variety of freshly made authentis Mexican food, including tacos, with friendly back home style service and Mexican atmosphere. Three visits in one week.
A nice place, friendly staff with good food. It was popping when I went in. Two times now calling in an order, has been difficult and the person taking it has been nothing but rude, but when you go inside everyone is nice.
Amazing tacos and other food options are available, too! Fun place!
Get the fry supreme it s amazing!
Delicious and spicy the best Ive ever tried
Good service, economical, and delicious food, everything you can ask for being far from Mexico.
Very good place, delicious and the portions are very generous!

The food is very delicious, they just need staff
Service is excellent, food fantastic, portions are generous, affordable prices, we got the 7 tacos 2 pop promo it s plenty for 2 people. This is our favourite Mexican restaurant in town. Great job Hot Tacos
Not the best place to dine in. Food is delicious but service most of the times is bad.
Delicious authentic Mexican food, give me more!
Best Tacos Birria in Southwestern Ontario and now the place is mucho grande! Just around the corner from the original, Talbot at Main.
Came by the new location at 16 Talbot st East tonight with four friends, not only was the food to die for, but the service was amazing! The new restaurant is huge! And looks sooo beautiful! Our food came quickly and the server was super friendly and. attentive! If you re ever in Leamington or close by this is definitely a must eat at destination! Can t wait to come back!!!
Amazing food, great customer service and a wonderful atmosphere! The Birria s are absolutely DELICIOUS!! The lamb was so unbelievably tender and melted in your mouth. I finished my plate and called the waitress over so that I could order another one because I couldn t get enough :) Will most definitely be going back soon!
