MEXITACO Cantina in Scarborough

They make the best spicy margarita in the world.

It is a good place to go for a quiet drink and with live music on Saturdays the atmosphere is excellent. Of course, the only waitress they have is EXCELLENT!

The food was good. The service was quite slow, bring a buddy to chat with. The walls seem to be a mishmash of particle board and other materials. It was fine.

We didnt say as my partner is on his 70s. Music was too loud for us. So we left. Thks

Good food as long as you are not very hungry. Found a delicious new beer (Modelo Negra). Looking forward to going back on a night with entertainment.

Amazing place, good food, good vibe... what else do you need?

Please go to this place if you like Good Food, Good Music and Good Customer Service

Delicious food!

The food there is excellent, the service is good and theres even a nice band. Lots of options to pick from and good ambience.

very nice

First walked in and the place looked beautiful, i really like the decor. And then a man greeted me (didnt get his name) but he was super nice. Asked him about the band setup and he said every Fri and Sat is a live performance (sometimes Sunday too, check their IG) and thursdays is kareoke. Didnt get to take a photo the food was so good. Ordered Burrito de Tinga and Quesadilla de Tinga and they were 10/10. The chicken was soft and tasty while the quesadilla was toasted nicely. Also asked for some hot sauce and we got I believe salsa verde (which was really good) and Im not sure the other, tasted like a slightly spicy salsa and that was good too. All together no complaints, def will come back.

Authentic Mexican food at affordable prices.

A secret place in Scarborough that is excellent! Tye staff here us anazing! Service is fast and efficient. The food is authentic, delicious, and fair priced! I dont want to tell you about it as i want this to be my hang out, but i also want them to be hugely successful -- so go eat here -- it is excellent!!

Drink specials are fantastic

Delicious tacos and pozole. Big portions.

Nice atmosphere and staff. Good birria. Pozole could be better

We ordered Patron and Casamigos repasado shots and I can tell you 100% they are watered down. We drink tequila often and they were definitely watered down. The beers on tap was flat on a Friday night. Live music is good, food is decent but disappointed on the drinks. Mexi-no-go

The food was amazing, but the servers were extremely slow, and with only 9 tables. I had to get up to remind them we were there a few times, as we kept getting forgotten, and left for long times. An all male staff too was making the vibes feel a little weird

Summer 2024 Update: Service was a little slower because they were short staffed and it was busy with people dining in the patio and inside the restaurant. The food was delicious (as usual). September 2023 Update: Still consistent with the good food and great service despite it being a very busy Friday evening due to Mexican Independence Day weekend. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time, and tasted good. Our children enjoyed the live musical entertainment and the delicious birria, arracherra (med-rare), churros, and tres leches cake. July 2023 Update: We came on a Friday night, and they had live entertainment. There were traditional dancers with beautiful outfits; and then a couple of singers with golden voices. I ordered another burrito and 2 desserts just so I could stay to dance to some lively music. I don t mind though because the food here is always delicious! I highly recommend for a fun night out with good food. 2022: We have eaten here several times and had good experiences. We like to go here for birria tacos and birria burritos. Knowledgeable and polite staff. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian items on menu. Parking: Small parking lot but it is free. Wheelchair accessibility: Main entrance is not wheelchair accessible.

SUCH a fun gem of a place!! the food was delicious (i had the elote with shrimp ceviche tostadas). The live performance is always top tier with the performers always singing and playing their hearts out!! Everyone is always dancing too which is nice. The drinks are also very very good and the whole menu is priced fairly as well

Best Tacos in Scarborough. Steak, Baja fish, birria.

Great place, good vibe, lots of space so you dont feel crowded when having a conversation.

Amaizin

The service was excellent, very friendly and prompt! Food was delicious

The brirra tacos is so flavourful. The consume is so delicious I drank it by itself. And the staff were so welcoming and kind it felt like I was eating at home Edit: changed to 4 stars I ordered it again and it was just not the same. If I had it as my first experience it would be a 2 but since I remember my first experience it leaving it at a 4

Wow, impressive!!! I visited different Mexican places, but this one is amazing, The service is great, delicious food and awesome atmosphere. Super recommended!!!!

This area scratches the itch for Mexican. Great atmosphere, the staff are super friendly, and the food is great. Baja fish taco was so good we had to order a second helping.

Been eating for past 5 years. Picked up order yesterday. Yukkkk things have changed. Worst quality ever, Taste,Quality and Qty all has been changed rather compromised. Just to find a New Mexican joint

Be prepared to wait!!! This is our second visit to this location and BOTH times the service has been terrible. The first time the server took so long to come back after sitting us down that we just walked out and went somewhere else. We were sat down by our server but she didnt come back until we called her over. Like she forgot we were even here. Because we waited so long, we ordered everything at once. Then waited another 10 minutes for 2 glasses of water and a pitcher of sangria... which she got wrong. The only thing we got quickly was our bill. If could choose 0 for service, I would. The food was good. Atmosphere was simple but clean. We wont be back here when theres so many other Mexican restaurants to choose from with much better service.

Look no further than an authentic Mexican food in Scarborough, in the 6ix! Had to leave a four star due to the time we went (lunch) when it was not busy. I recommend this place if you crave for Mexican food! Parking: Limited parking spots but free to park!

For Scarborough, it was a decent spot for day drinking.

Is this place under new Management? Why did I walk into the Birchmount location and the whole place smelled like a toilet? Whats going on? The last time I came the bathrooms smelled really bad and this weekend the whole place smelled like that.

The smell of the restaurant is unpleasant, way overpriced for the small portions, you have to oder 3 main course dishes to feel full. Soft drinks are flat and taste funny. Never again.

Ordered online, waiting 10 minutes, they did NOT accept my ordered. Order was cancelled automatically.

Machetes are so good!

OK, HERES MY REVIEW. Positive: The service from the waiter was good; he was very polite and attentive. :) The guacamole was really tasty. The salsas were relatively good. Negative: The lemons were a bit dry, so we had to ask for extras because they didn t have enough juice. The tacos were quite simple, with a very plain presentation. I ordered a tres leches cake, but they didn t have any, so I had to switch to arroz con leche, which had a strange taste, and the rice was a bit hard. :( We also ordered crepes, but they were just two flour tortillas with two slices of banana drenched in caramel , with a bit of cream lol. For nine dollars, its really not worth it. If that s how they present them, it s disappointing that it s just two heated flour tortillas covered in caramel sauce. The waiting time, as many others have mentioned, is long, even when the place isn t busy. There were only two or three occupied tables, yet the service was still slow. There are other options that are not only better but also more affordable, with much better flavors and a better portions.

Good on a Friday. Apparently amazing on Saturdays. I.musy try it?!

Baja fish tacos are amazing

Went once, the food was fine, service decent. Tried to take my son today, waited 10 minutes for service in an empty restaurant, ordered food which the waiter wrote down, ~40mins later a waiter (I think the same one who wrote down our order) came and asked if I had ordered anything. I was speechless just told my son let s go and walked straight out of there. I was willing to look past the sticky tables (both times I was there), but after this I will definitely not ever return.

The avocado taco was great flavour and portion. Its a nice spot with local music and dance on Saturdays

Update July 2024: this place has really gone downhill. Our food was very mediocre and expensive for what it was, and the presentation was so poor. The service was also really lacking. Dont think we will be returning. Got some drinks and tacos! Really nice ambience, tacos were tasty, as were the drinks. Would definitely return, very cool spot for this area!

Delicious. As a Mexican I aprove!

When I first came in they came to me and my family really quick, also I would recommend you trying beef taco my daughter loved it was our first time coming the service was fantastic!!!

Food was really taste but disappointed with the quantity. We ordered beef tacos and veg tacos. We just loved it. Service was really exceptional.

Ive been wanting to go to this place. Finally I go and its awesome. So my favorite Taco was deep-fried fish. The flavors were amazing. And go Taco Tuesday for great prices. Service was on point. Ill be back!!!!!

Great place, service was excellent. Gave us a free round a shots. A+.

Music 10/10 Food 15/10 Service (Chano) 20/10 To summarize: Excellent

Food Service Muisc 2 words top teir Chano was great , they were patient and had great recommendations. The kitchen also did a great job with my order.

We had a great time at MEXITACO tonight! The food was fresh and tasty, the staff were amazing and the live music was 10/10!!

Walked in close to end of service. Sat with my group of friends we ordered and got food in 10min. So fast so tasty. Definitely coming back! Thank you for great service to the server and cooking staff.

Third time coming here and I had such high hopes! First time was summer and sat on the patio. Good service and great food. Second time was a few weeks ago and service was more than terrible. Waited 10 minutes before a server even came to our table and inquired if we wanted drinks. The Restaurant was EMPTY so no reason for the delay. When the WARM waters finally came to the table we must have been there for 20 minutes already. Today we returned and service was even worse than the last time. Small over priced drinks full of ice. The servers do not come and check in to see how your meal is going or offer a refill on water, or beverages. We wanted dessert and nobody came to our table to wrap up and inquire if we needed anything further. We decided not to get dessert and had to go to the counter to request our bill because nobody came to the table to ask if we were done. So disappointed because we live around the corner and the food is delicious and we desperately want to like this place and make it our spot! Unfortunately, we will not be coming back!

Excellent food. Very friendly and good customer service. Good 80s music. I rally enjoyed I would like to come back when they have live music. Food : 5/5

Great flavor in my taco arranchera but Im giving the 3 star because the taco size was so small. Pictures on line made the size seem normal. Tacos are smaller the a street taco size it seems. Also took around 30 mins to get our food and it was beef and onions on the tacos seemed way to long for something like a taco to be served . Pictures on the menu would also help . Staff are nice and friendly. They do have live music it looks like. I also had horchata to drink it was quite nice not too sweet.

Took 15 minutes to get my waiter to place my order and another 25 minutes to get my tacos to be served, All this for 2 small plain tacos, totally not what I expected in size. Very disappointed in the quantity of my tacos Totally not worth the time and money Parking: Good

I had the baja shrimp tacos, and they were delicious! Fast service and great atmosphere. I will be going again very soon!

Hubby and I come here every weekend without fail. We have always been in search for a authentic Mexican place with live music. We really enjoy the food (chorizo tacos and aguachile de chicharrón and their arrachera platter are some of our favourites to name a few). Service is great, staff are always checking in on us and provide some great recommendations since we are not Mexican. They have a band that plays every Friday and Saturday night which always has people up on the dance floor.

Ordered a few times from Uber eats, it was so good I had to go there and have it fresh, and it did NOT disappoint!!! All the staff is super polite and quick! The food.... OMG THE FOOOOOOD!!!! Everything was on point, absolutely delicious!!! We just came from Mexico a month earlier and was in desperate need to find authentic Mexican food...WE FOUND IT!!!

I have been going to this place for a long time and today I asked for home service, but it was very unpleasant, the food was very poorly served and very little, it did not have accessories, very disappointed

Amazing food!! A+! Service was great too!

Love the Birria Tacos here!! Fair prices and the atmosphere is geniuely very nice. Highly recommend and will always come back to my favourite Mexican spot in the east end.

Drinks were amazing, the staff were amazing. Only issue I had was that the food was not at par. Ordered nacos but there was hardly any cheese on top. Lacked flavor, no salsa was provided with it. Tacos lacked flavour as well. Ordered the pork tacos, chicken tacos and veg tacos but was not happy with the taste. Food quality was much better at Vic park location

Great atmosphere with patio, live music and performances. Perfect for summer time. Tacos were OK. Not that amazing when compared to Seven Lives Tacos. Ceviche was wonderful especially when its hard to find a good one in the city.

We had a birthday dinner here and staff were incredible. The live music was great and we had an amazing time eating and dancing til midnight!

Live music on Sunday

The costumer service is good the guy that attended me through the phone and when I pick up my food was so nice, but the food wasn t that good at all, I order a quesabirria, the sice it was not big at all, the amount of birria was like for just one small taco it was full of cheese instead of meat, just a few pieces of onion and cilantro outside of the quesabirria to be honest no worth it for the price

Great experience, portions were a little small. Staff were great. Delicious food.

Very delicious food, price might be high but it is worth it

Portion sizes could be bigger but the taste makes up for itt

The food was really good, meat wasn t dried out or chewy. Very flavourful with a good amount of meat in the tacos. We ordered a bunch of different dishes (apps and mains) for the table as we were celebrating my son s birthday there. They allowed me to bring a cake which they prepared with the candles I brought, and they also gave us plates, spoons and a cake cutter to use for the cake. My only issue was the women s washroom. It needed attention. Only one stall had toilet paper, the soap pump was left uncovered because someone added water to it and the paper towel dispenser had no paper towels. I hope they improve on this because I d really like to come back and eat there again!

We went here for our date night and absolutely loved our dining experience! Staff were lovely and food was great, bursting with flavors! Good mexican place, highly recommend.

Spacious restaurant with patio seatings. We went on a weekend and they have live band there. Very fun atmosphere! Their menu offers more than Taco and Burritos. We loved the chips as it is thick and small that we can take it by one bite. Food was delicious. There are 2 different types of chilli sauce, see how much jeat you can take! Limited parking at the back.

First time that Ive been there, food was so good services perfect as well

Amazing birria tacos. This is probably my favourite in the GTA for this style.

The food is really solid, a wee bit pricy but overall worth it because of the good vibes. I definitely recommend coming during the karaoke period even if you don t plan on singing.

Baja fish tacos were so flavourful and authentic! Overall nice experience. Parking: Parking was free and easily accessible on a weekday. Could be difficult to find parking during weekends.

The delicious seasoning, authentic Mexican food, but above all at reasonable prices! Keep it up, congratulations! Great mexican food, flavor reminds me back home. Decent prices. Congratulations!

The Good the Bad....nothing Ugly... Good- Environment and Friendly Staff and Live Music on Week-ends. Bad: Taco sizes... I feel like the taco and portions are for Kids meals. Seriously... Mini Tacos for price of large! I hate being hungry leaving a restaurant after dropping a bill for two people with out alcohol. The live music is nice but the volume needs to be a bit low,,,cant speak to the person next to you when the Mariachi starts swinging his hips.

Actually a good place. The actual tacos feel pretty pricey, but everything else seems on par on pricing. Pretty good food, and feels pretty authentic, bar some unique items... like a mexican pizza!

Firstly, Id give this a 4.5/5 if I could. Loved the quality of the food! Everything was tasty and delicious. Definitely can see why people say this is quality mexican food. I wish our first server gave us an equal amount of attention to detail, but a few forgetful takes on a friendly face didnt make our experience much less enjoyable. Definitely try some of the non taco options! All quite enjoyable and better value for your dollar. Parking: Small back area for parking. At worst, you park at the Burger King across the streets

A true hidden gem in Scarborough. We had a bit too much food for us to finish, despite wanting to. It was really good food, the servers were friendly, and the vibes were great. Highly recommend! Food

Disgusting not even close to authentic Mexican ate here never again they should be ashamed to have a restaurant like this open first of all the service is crap literally only 2 people working there and they just ignore you we literally waited 15 minutes at the front and all we got was stares and nothing not even one acknowledgment we finally seated our selves and again no water no drink nothing just some menus on the table. Again waiting over 25 minutes to order we finally order from the bar tender and the food hurrendous not cooked good we asked if it was fresh he said yes he lied basically everything on we ordered tastes disgusting in the end we got charged 108 dollars for a bowl of soup 2 small tacos and some toastadas DONT RECOMMEND COMING HERE you pay a lot of money for tiny portions not even small very tinny

Amazing food and excellent service!

Terrific and delicious food, and such friendly staff. I would recommend Mexitaco again and again.

A gem in the east end. Will definitely go back to this place whenever I m around the area

baja avocado taco is great

Great vibe loved it. 4 star for service only bc it was understaffed. The elote was amazing, just like lola would make. My man gave a helluva performance i would recommend! Esp on karaoke night

Very tasty. Reasonable pricing. Friendly staff n good service

Love the food,awesome customer service and the prices all good not that expensive at all.

The birria tacos were sooo good. They had a great band playing music and overall nice vibes!

Great food and friendly service. Live band on Fridays and weekends. Small dancing area in front of the bar. Open late. Ample parking at the rear of the building.

Great food

Great food,nice vibe,prices are great

I ve only done take out and delivery but really good tacos, sadly don t have any pics but when I get them again. I ll do another review Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options Kid-friendliness: Family oriented

Awesome service by.....Diego

Food was delicious and a great price! Would definitely go back to sit and eat again. Pictured: chorizo tacos and chicken de tinga tacos. Parking: Small parking lot but usually always multiple spots available

Went here again for the first time in several months, and I was shocked by how small the birria tacos have gotten. I have been going to Mexitaco, both the Cantina & Victoria Park locations, for a few years now. However, the size of the birria tacos have gotten smaller with time to a point where $20 doesn t justify it. They taste great, don t get me wrong, but the portion sizing is just not worth it anymore. As well, we ordered the elote which used to be much tastier, but unfortunately the quality of the corn has gone down and they have cheapened on the amount of tajin they serve with it. After today s experience, I m not sure if I plan to come back to Mexitaco anymore.

Unfortunately I have to agree with everyone else who commented on the tiny taco sizes.. with barely any meat in them. Super pricey for what you actually end up getting. I do not think I would come here again. The background noise is incredibly loud too, I had to repeat myself loudly numerous times to the guy taking my order over the phone. Not impressed.

Amazing corn and loved the nachos! Will be returning:)

I saw one of my friends post on their Instagram stories of their food, and it definitely made me want to try Mexitaco out. I ordered the birrita pizza and churros. The birrita pizza was delicious and extremely filling. You will not be disappointed if you decide to order that option. Id say the churros was a 7/10 only because it was a bit over made. Compared to other churros I had in the past, Id rather it to be a bit more soft, but it was still delicious. The service was quite quick, and everyone was polite. Great atmosphere, and it felt good to utilize their patio. I will definitely be back.

The food was amazing as usual. But the portion were very very small compared to the price. I am a below average eater and I had to order to main dishes for myself. We had ordered starters and drinks before the main course. Portion sizes are extremely small.

If you are Mexican you know that the table should always have fresh tortilla chips and sauces!!!!, not frozen!!!! I expected more from the place and the food! The sauces were frozen, I ordered a corn and it was cold! So I didnt enjoy it. The food hmmmm nothing special. I expected something more Mexican from the place, varied music in all languages. Good service from the waiters who speak Spanish.

so yummy and the service was great!!

The food is here is simply amazing. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. The staff here at this location provided an outstanding level of service - top class. They said theyre opening one up in Oshawa in May 2024. Wish there was one out west ;) Keep it up!

Excellent place I liked it a lot

Gave me chicken burritos when I ordered a vegetarian one. Could have died. Great times

First time being it was amazing great food amazing service nice place

The owners of this place need to consider. Proper upkeep. The tables were very sticky. The bathroom had a horrible stench. I went as far to ask if they had a plumbing issue answer was no. Very disgusting especially when your trying to keep your meal down. Housekeeping seriously needed in bathrooms. Staff need to be more attentive instead of having conversations at bar. Check in on your patrons especially since the place was empty. Just one couple. As for the food. Its ooook. Carnitas tacos very very oily. Carne asada noo seasoning. Definitely not authentic Mexican food. Overall the food was tolerable. I wont be returning.

Got tacos to go, but the atmosphere was vey cool. Great beers on tap and amazing authentic tacos. Even hosts live music. Will definatly be going back to eat in.

If youre looking for a vibrant and authentic Mexican dining experience, MEXITACO Cantina is the place to be! My recent visit was such a treat as everything we ordered was filled with fresh ingredients, there was a variety of dishes on the menu, the service was quick and the servers were very welcoming and friendly, and a warm and fun atmosphere. We ordered a bunch of dishes to sample the menu, including both the shrimp and fish ceviche tostada, tacos de Carnitas, tacos de chorizo, both the Baja fish and shrimp tacos, tacos de Birria, and fresh hot churros for dessert. The lively Friday night entertainment added to the fun atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to celebrate special occasions. We saw a few birthdays being celebrated with the waiters singing and the birthday person got to wear a large traditional Mexican hat, adding to the fun vibe. While the menu offered affordable prices, the portions were a bit smaller than expected. Ill definitely be back to MEXITACO Cantina to enjoy more of their delicious foods and lively ambiance.

What is it? No onion, no cilantro, 3 pesos of meat, made with vgzo, not even an eighth of lemon

Superb service for late lunch. Huge assortment of Mexican dishes, that make dining decisions difficult!! Excellent classic margarita. Will definitely return as soon as possible

Good

I have been disappointed by this place for the last time. I used to come here all the time, staff was nice, food was good. Dont know whats happened lately, especially for takeout orders. Birria burrito was stale with crunchy rice, soggy/mushy tortilla and had no flavour. Asked for extra cilantro and I guess for the chefs that means Absolutely no cilantro (which has been the case for the past 2 years). The birria tacos were soggy and again, lacked flavour because there was no cilantro or onions ontop. The elote was the smallest cob of corn Ive ever seen, it was boiled, and covered in watery cheese. At this point its been a consistent disappointment.

Food 3/5 Service 4/5 Atmosphere 4/5 First time ever we ate saltless and spiceless mexican food. It qas like italian-Mexican food. Ambience is good. But they definitely need to focus on taste and food. Ohh churros were good btw.

Let s start with positive part of this review! Friendly staff and we were seated immediately. Negative part of this review; the food presentation one star, We ordered steak tacos with a side of plántanos we received the steak tacos and no plántanos asked twice for the order and it took our server 20 minutes after the delivery of the steak tacos which made no sense since we wanted to eat them together and when the plántanos did come they were grassy. We sent the entire order back and paid for the sangria. Nice and clean restaurant but when it comes to food and service this location gets one star.

Portion is insanely small for the price. Way better places elsewhere.

Service was very nice but portion sizes were much smaller than expected. Tacos were a snack not a meal.

Went for breakfast, and was pleasantly surprised at how lovely their dine-in area is. We had the whole place to ourselves. Was a great find for a breakfast/brunch place. Had their Huevos Divorciados for brunch with churros for dessert. Also, their coffee was delicious. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. First discovered them on Uber Eats and feel in love with their bean and cheese tostadas, so glad I checked them out in person!

Tried the burrito and was very disappointed.

Amazing service, great food !! .. Be back again My bro showed me this spot Food : 5/5

Love this location! Food is great - I always come for the Nachos Tinga, birria tacos, Baja fish and shrimp tacos! Service is great and lile the vibe of the place. Highly recommend!

A gem located in Scarborough for experiencing authentic Mexican cuisine. Exceptional customer service because they treat you like a family member. Food is very fresh, and flavorful. Atmosphere is cozy and a great place for dining in. Enjoyed everything on the menu that we tried. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Tacos

Simply Amazing ! Thank you

Staff were great. Mexitaco amber beer was good. Tacos and fries were a little disappointing.

The servers are courteous, friendly, and bilingual. The food was tasty. Tried different things on the menu. The Barilla and churros were my favourite. Not a big fan of the nachos bc they had way too much onions... like a ton! Their cocktails have a nice flavor, so I do recommend them. I love the art on the wall. The prices are reasonable. Overall, I recommend this place for like Date Night or simply to just have authentic Mexican dinner with the family. Vegetarian options: Veggies options available. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options. Vegetarian options. Kid-friendliness: Yes. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.

nice food and atmosphere

Real gem in GTA. Service is remarkable, live music with Kenny and his group makes you dance all night long. Place to visit for all Mexican culture lovers.

Baha tacos come in 2 and are amazing. The Cheve fish tacos is a one-piece hard tacos but has amazing flavor. Nachos fries is a great sharing appetizer. The churiso tacos is also very good comes in 2 highly recommend also there are 2 sauces a green and red that accompany every table the green one is spicy the red one is neutreal mix both with the lemon squeezed on top and then dip the nacho fries in it . To me, it tasted good

I really like this taco place, its pretty convenient because its close to the 401. The tacos are good.

I like this place. Waiters are nice and the night show is awesome . Food is yummy

Parking: Great food and service !!! Spacious restaurant! Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly!!!

The food was gross and expensive. The portion of tacos is super small and pricey. The steak taco was the only thing that was decent. The pastor tacos were extremely dry. The churros were still as heck! I will not be back! $70 for four elote, one order of El pastor tacos, one order of steak tacos, A Mandarin horitos, and one order of churros... I would not be mad at the quality was good but it wasnt at all!. No wonder this place was 3/4 empty on a Friday night

Everything was absolutely amazing the staff we re so nice and patient and explained the menu. The food was phenomenal and fresh and it was very clean. definitely, we will be returning again.

Good food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. It was karaoke night and there was a good turnout.

The prices are high compared to the portions. Check your bill they add things twice, and 18% gratuity is imposed and plus ask for additional tip. So before you tip, check your bill. I would not visit again and will not recommend it.

Horrible food, shocking how this place has good reviews out there. Fried fish tacos took 30 seconds to come from kitchen right after ordering, never a good sign. Shrimp tacos were using canned pineapples. Nachos bland no cheese no sour cream, you could make better ones at home. You re better off going to Taco Bell across the street, you d save money and have a much better meal. Drinks were decent, service had no clue what s going on, menu items were missing toppings and service didn t even recognize it when you bring it up to them Washrooms were a free for all, piss all over the floor and nobody would notice. Dirtier than a portapotty Save your money, this place is atrocious

I wish I could give zero stars. Absolutely rubbish vegetarian Mexican I ever had in Canada .. The server was nice .. we had tacos and burritos. After telling about horrible food they took the plates and still charged full amount along with charge for extra topping and have 5$ discount. .. really we did not eat anything and not your topping and still u charged me full... It was pathetic stale food and with big onions and green pepper .. no taste at all .. never go here

The flavors were excellent, and the taste was authentic. The portion sizes could be slightly larger, but overall, it was a great experience.

Ordered Burrito De Tinga from Uber, Worst thing ever ate.

I loved everything we ordered here. Their ceviche was superb. I loved Baja fish tacos as well. Great selection for food and drinks. Overall atmosphere is very lively and friendly.

The atmosphere was really nice, wasnt packed and noisy. Staff was really friendly. The menu had such a variety of options, but in the end ordered the tacos de birria. It was very, very good. Had the frozen strawberry Margarita, delicious. Service was great, no complaints here. Will come again soon.

I usually order from here, and enjoy it but my last order of fish tacos was half the size of previous tacos (one taco has one nugget sized piece of fish) and the taco shells are cold as if straight out of the freezer. Unfortunately won t be ordering here again.

This is our hidden gem of a Mexican restaurant. Food is fantastic and consistent either going to the restaurant or delivery. Our fave is the barria tacos ... so tasty! We took a friend to share our fave Mexican restaurant and we went crazy and ordered so much food they had to bring another table to fit it all on. 100% recommend!

My first time eating here was pleasant. Surprisingly the restaurant is open during holidays, and its my first time trying out Mexican food in Toronto. The waiter was very attentive to our orders and made our drinks promptly. It took 10+ minutes for our meals to be served, but thankfully we ordered appetizers to help with the hunger. I liked the interior design of the place, plus the music is a plus. Theres even a stage with a drum set in place for performance events. Our plates were a bit smaller than expected, but thankfully again, we ordered appetizers. The price is also a bit up there too (its Toronto what to expect with inflation). Overall though, MEXITACO Cantina is a place worth eating at, especially if there are events happening on stage. It can get wild in there! I recommend eating here if youre craving Hispanic food. Vegetarian options: Has non-meat options available on the menu. Parking: Free parking lot at the building location. Kid-friendliness: Kids can eat here. Wheelchair accessibility: Located on the ground floor, but has a few steps to take to get to the entrance door.

The music, the ambiance, the staff, the food, everything was top notch. Had an amazing experience and glad that we started this year with such a positive vibe. Cheers

My first time here was for a work lunch. Must say walking in. I just loved the decor. The whole atmosphere, the music playing it was a whole experience from you Enter the door. We were greeted as we came in and brought to our seats very promptly. The servers were very attentive, explained all of the dishes to us . SUPER respectful and Friendly service. Time from order to food being brought out was not overly long. Must say the sweet chili chicken wings there are to die for and we really enjoyed them. We even ended up ordering a second round. Thats how good they were. I really enjoyed my dish. I got the fish tacos. I would say that the portions are a little bit small but they make up for it in the taste. It was amazing. We all really enjoyed the whole time we were there. I agree this is a hidden gem and definitely a place worth a return visit so if you get the chance do check it out.

Excellent Service!

So I have to start off this review and say that I rate the food a 5 out of 5 at Mexitaco. Where they fall down slightly (I cant do half points) is on service and atmosphere). This is the spot you go to when you want to have mouth watering, authentic (outside of Mexico) birria tacos with the side stew hands down. The chef has perfected the beef stewing process and flavour profile that goes on to hit all the right foodie feels. Think side of the road freshly made birria tacos (my mouths officially watering now). Their chorizo tacos have the right amount of heat and make you want to go back for more, not to mention their grilled fish tacos that are fresh and simple so that you enjoy the true taste of the fish. They also make horchata and himika which makes the food experience even more authentic and awesome. They have a solid selection of tequilas and I think they need to make a bigger deal about this for sure and make those drinks a little more stronger please. The location works well for folks with gluten sensitivities and make sure to speak to your server about any substitutions. Service is friendly and always encouraging but can be a bit inattentive at times. The restaurant was definitely something else before and has a very pub/bar feel that I think can be worked on to make it feel a bit more mexican authentic without going overboard. Seating is a bit basic and looks a bit worn out but maybe it just adds to the who atmosphere but could be off putting to some. Parking can be a challenge at times given the smaller parking lot but still worth the visit. Go experience the food and margaritas for yourself and let me know if I missed the mark on anything. Horchata for life!

Great food, bit over priced ! Good service from the waiters ! Shrimp tacos are my fav !

Excellent place to stop for a short bite to Eat. Food

1st time ever going here ...had the shrimp taco..I got food poisoning within 24 hrs... I knew I shldve left when I saw only 1 other couple in the place

Very fun vibe! Food was good, service was great, delicious margaritas, live music on the weekends....

The food is very bad

Came here with my family. The atmosphere was good, nothing overly special. The servers were friendly and patient. The menu is large and a little overwhelming at first. But the food came quickly and was very good. Overall a great restaurant. Would recommend as a pretty good restaurant but not as a must go to urgently restaurant.

10/10 A1 service. Most definitely returning! Staff move quick and deliver 10/10 results. Food is really good. No complaints at all. Parking can get full quick but that shows you how many people dine-in! I highly recommend! Check it out.

It was quiet Wednesday lunch...restaurant is sufficiently spacious...service was amazing..our waiter was patient,smiling and provided great recommendations..The Baja Avocado Taco was so tasty...hard to imagine it was avocado The bean and cheese toastada was scrumptious and almost filling..Tres Leches was decent but not the best Ive had... definitely will be back to try remaining dishes even though its only bean and cheese for vegetarian options
