MEXITACO On Victoria Park in Scarborough

Love the ambiance and staff here. Cant get enough of this place. Vegetarian options: Has more and tasty options in veg than i saw anywhere else. Food : 5/5 |

Rude statf

My second time here and the plate and bowl are empty again. The food is delicious, so refreshing, a family restaurant that is authentic and honest. Will be back again.

Really great food and excellent service. Beef was especially good. Juan was a great server!

It looks like a haunted house, Lol. Not a very good atmosphere.

food here is so good!

The tacos are pathetically small and bland. For $8.99 you get two thumb-sized tacos. Zero effort in adding flavour. The Carne Asada literally tasted like raw meat with cilantro. Youre better off going to Taco Bell. Quite disappointing for all the hype.

Latin grocery and some pick up snacks.

Parking is a thing to keep in mind. The food was great. Lemon slices were not too fresh. Food

The atmosphere was very nice, but, the food and drinks were overpriced and the portions too small. Will not be coming back. Staff were friendly though.

Loved it, great service and food.

Great authentic Mexican food! Great value!! Must try if you like tacos!

Amazing little spot in an unlikely area. Incredible ambience and food. Cocktails are ON POINT and the staff is happy to recommend their favourites. I will be back.

Excellent service. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Food is good and Friday night karaoke is great.

Great experience... the food was delicious and the staff super nice.

Very authentic. Friendly staff

Went in for my birthday with friends. Our waiter Miguel, was so helpful with suggestions and a lot of fun. He really made the evening even better. Food is excellent!!!! Definitely recommend Food : 5/5

The food was tasty but portion size was quite small. Cocktails were great!

Went for dinner and drinks

Food was good and service was amazing!

Didnt have food just drinks highly recommended the staff was amazing. Went above and beyond good service very friendly to visitors seems like a great local bar attitude were they treat visitors special.

I dont know why people open places like this, without knowing about customer service and food quality.

Great food and restaurant/bar.

There really may not be any better Mexican food in Toronto. I cant speak for the other spots, but we love this location! Take out orders are always great, and dining in found us the Aguachile de Chicharon. (Good god, that sauce needs to be bottled for sale its amazing!)

Communication problem but good place

Tacos De Birria were very juicy and tasted fantastic. The broth on the side was a great complement. The art style in the restroom was also impressive.

Worst nachos flavour less not authentic at all.

Fantastic food but small portions. Grew atmosphere though!

The food was great and the customer service was amazing! They picked up finished plates right away. It is also reasonably priced. The only concern was parking. There is a No Frills across the street, so you can park there and cross the intersection at the lights. There was live music happening when we went but there were some issues with the speaker.

This was my go-to taco place. But this time the food was bad. I ordered Burrito and taco. And chicken was so hard. Idk what happened this time but this was the first time their chicken was like bubble gum! Maybe it was not freshly made or an old batch. So disappointed. Did they change the recipe or the chef or management?!

The fresh ingredients & the food are delicious The attention to detail really comes through in flavor and presentation The staff is lovely & friendly ready to make recommendations

I took my Mom here for Mother s Day and we loved it! We can t wait to go back! Highly recommend the Birria tacos. I m looking forward to trying more dishes.

Food is very expensive. Service here is very poor. Its a rip off. Dont eat here. I will never eat here again.

I try as much as I can to leave positive reviews but this place makes it next to Impossible. I am so sorry but I will never return. Was a huge waste of money. Not recommended.

The food is consistently tasty and the service is excellent. Perfect casual spot for a bite to eat and a drink!

Nice tacos

Chicken tinga is kind of plain... Carne ASADA and Baja shrimp tacos are the best. Takes 15 to 20 mins for you to get your order and everything you order comes at once. Plan accordingly lol

Super experience at Mexitaco! Great, friendly staff, great service, food, drinks and atmosphere! 3 locations to choose from! Great to have a neighborhood gem!!! A must visit! Incredible Mexican food!

A very budget friendly Mexican place you can try in the Scarborough area. Food portions are smaller so you may need to order multiple items depending on appetite. Food

Was very nice Service and delicious food

amazing service and good food!! will return

Very good food, everything always tastes fresh. Portions are somewhat small for the price but its always delicious. Birria tacos are some of the best I have had Parking: Only a about 3 spots to park beside the restaurant, more is across the street at McDonalds Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs other than to washroom

The live performances are really good, the ambience is also lively with many food options.

Great customer service, went in unplanned and just searched for a Mexican restaurant. The restaurant is really nice , and the food was amazing. We got the pina colada to drink , and ordered the tacos with pineapple, and birria tacos. The wait time for food was about 10 minutes , and it tasted fresh.

Great food and drinks! Very unique cocktails packing good flavours. Service was amazing as well. Would definitely go back :)

Very good place

Food was delicious, and had live entertainment (singer) on Friday. Great spot!!!

I highly recommend their nachos, and it was the best nachos Ive ever tasted! The tacos were also good; they tasted authentic. The ambiance is good and I think if you want to drink you can go here at night because they have so many beverages option. Also, they have a free parking lot which is good.

Came here on a whim with my girlfriends and I m so happy we did! This is one of the most authentic Mexican spots I ve eaten at in Toronto and I ll most definitely be back. I ordered the calamari taco, the al pastor (with added guac) and we split some nachos - everything was so good! A fantastic hidden gem!

Literally everything on the menu is so tasty. I love their Birria. The atmosphere is so fun- they have live music on Friday and Saturday. Ive been back soo many times. Truly a great spot in the neighbourhood

I would give it zero stars, but you have to pick one. We ordered a takeout meal. They gave us a bag with a label on it showing what we ordered, but we got home to find other, less expensive, and not very good substitutes. All efforts to contact them about since have been gone to a memory hole apparently. UPDATE: My friend was able to get in touch with management at the restaurant, and they refunded the price of the dinner without hesitation, which I appreciate. I have changed my rating accordingly. I have given only 3 stars for now, but I will eat there and update this review yet again.

The place is really mexican. The food is really good. The hospitality of the staff is really good. I ordered quesadillas beef and cheese it s really delicious when you add guacamole.

Omg this place was the bombbb! First thing we noticed were the awesome decorations. It was such a fun vibe. The service was excellent, really top notch. The corona can be had on tap and it tasted so crisp. The pina colada was ON POINT, DAM! I been thinking about them for days. The Mexican fries were fabulous, crispy and tasty, we devoured the huge plate in seconds. The churros were so yummy, it would have been nice if the order came with 3 instead of 2 heh heh. The only thing we were surprised by was the tacos. We got the veggie tacos and they didn t taste too great. We couldn t figure out why. This was a bit of a bummer because we were really blown away by everything else. If possible, please look into your veggie taco recipe. Also, offer bean and cheese enchiladas for dinner pleeeeeeeease

Had a chimichanga craving so went down to try it out. It was pretty good. my wife tried the sangria and was satisfied. Service was decent and they give you chips and salsa to bite on whilst waiting for the food. Ambiance is ok, needs a thorough cleaning as we spied a fair amount of dust on the many ledges and ornaments. We will definitely go back.

Very good food and nice employees

Food and service were great! First time there! Would definitely go back. Much better service than last experience at the Birchmount location.

Overall, I had a great experience with food and service! Ill surely visit with more friends soon

Good tacos, great place

The food they sell in this place is another level,the food especially the tacos are delicious

Their menu was delightful, and we ordered the fish and shrimp ceviche, which was well-balanced and not overly sour like many ceviches tend to be. Additionally, their Mexican fries were expertly prepared. The overall atmosphere and cuisine were exceptional, and we are certain to return in the future.

Exciting karaoke night in a packed house. Service was excellent (much more attentive than the Birchmount location).

Delicious tacos. Enjoyed the food and the vibe

It s actually the only place in Toronto that I could get the most similar TAcos to the one I have had in Mexico. Waiters are great and patient. They normally check on you to have everything you need and the design is beautiful. Food portions are not too big but based on the price you are paying it worth. Try their platters if you really want a decent meal it comes with some corn tortillas, guacamole and crushed bean and cheese on the top which are amazing. Their hot sauce is really great.

Best Mexican restaurant bar in Toronto. Music was great, service awesome and good prices. My new favorite place in town.

Incredible experience tonight at Mexitaco. It was mine and my wifes first time and the food and drinks were great. I had the mexitaco beer which was a light tasting lager and my wife a strawberry margarita. Both drinks were brought instantly as well as the food. I cannot say how quick it was because we ordered it and less than 10 minutes later we had the food we ordered. We ordered the nachos and tacos de birra. The chips were fresh tasting and crispy and delicious and I would definitely recommend them. The tacos de birra were phenomenal and I cannot say enough good about them I loved the flavourful beef, the complimentary sauces and the beef au jus wasnt necessary but a nice touch. The food was so good we also tried the baja fish tacos and then shared the churros. Overall the experience was great and all of the staff was so very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return probably next weekend for the live music and more of their delicious food.

Good food, the atmosphere is really nice too as well as the music

Cute, quaint Mexican food spot.

Ordered delivery through Uber eats, steak tacos were good, but the pork al pastor tacos tasted like canned chicken with sauce. The texture was frankly revolting and the flavours were offensively wrong. The tortillas were sad and insipid and the cilantro was PARSLEY, so, really not the quality I had come to expect from this great restaurant. Hopefully they will go back to making it all delicious again. For now, I will stop ordering from them due to this past order.

I m passing through Toronto. A great discovery.

I had a delicious burrito Unfortunately our server didnt get our order correct and brought the appetizer after we had finished the main courses Food

Amazing food and atmosphere. Great burrito, wings and churros!

It was a quick stop to get some tacos here. Good food.

Really good tacos

Amazing tacos and nachos

Absolutely fantastic place!! Me and my lady went in for lunch. We both had the birria tacos and they were amazing . She had the jalapeño margarita and it was fantastic as well . Strong recommendation here.

What a great experience! Amazing food, wonderful atmosphere and the staff are super friendly. Do yourself a favour and go right now

Nice cozy restaurant/bar with delicious food & nice vibes. Its hard to find good mexican food in the GTA & I can honestly say this place is definitely the best spot for it!

Terrible taste, terrible service, not recommended... lets look for more Mexican places, its rubbish

I went to try and get some food. We stood in the front waiting for someone to come greet us for 15 mins before we left. They looked at us and walked past several times. Disgusted by the level of customer service. I wish I could give less than 1 star.

Mucho bueno ! My go to place for Mexican in the area.

Closest thing to a perfect Mexicano food

I Think that is a good place, with good food, the Flavor is great, I had my burrito well Done. it is a good portion but i think that is possible have more meat. the witress is so kind, when i stay there i saw that people can drink cocktails and beers, also, you can order a dish to share with your friends and have a good and funny meeting. I recommended.

Food was horrible. Probably the most disgusting tasting tacos and nachos I have ever tasted. Also. The guacamole actually went bad . It was disgusting. We all felt sick afterwards. Sooooo pricey as well. Never again eww

Drinks are so good,foods are not bad..prices are reasonable

Great food and service.

Did take out very friendly service and the food was great. Would definitely recommend dining in for the experience.

Great experience with Mexico food.

Very good

Amazing quesadillas and a nice nighttime environment

Worst tacos we have ever had do not recommend this place.

Fresh tasty tacos

Food is amazing and service is great! The Birria Tacos are to die for! Food : 5/5

Ordered a delivery. Worst taco and worst ceviche I have ever had. Ceviche had mostly onions and tomatos, barely any fish. Dont plan to ever order again.

Food was great. Nonetheless, the Kareoke was the best. Love this beer mugs, any thoughts where I can buy a pair.

This place is best for dining in. When I called to place my take-out order, the gentleman kept on yelling that he couldnt hear me (over the loud music), mind you he was nice and friendly in person. I ordered a beef burrito that was very big, which was good in terms of leftovers, but it was as though the chef had thrown in a handful of cheese in one section only, so that I had several bites that were solely cheese.

The food, the dessert, the waiter, the service, the atmosphere was perfection!

Good food

Fantastic service and the Birria tacos were amaaazing. Great guacamole and sangria too and the family I went with loved the fish tacos.

Weve been coming here frequently and are always happy. We had our favourites, the Birria tacos and Birria quesadilla. Always great food. The service was always good and prompt. The live entertainment is also why we go. We had the pleasure of seeing Tres Bajo Cero play live. They even allowed song requests. For drinks, they make the best mojitos Ive had. I would definitely continue to go and recommend this place.

Sat down inside with my wife. The place was dark and smelled musty and of beer in the morning. After sitting for some time looking at the menu, my wife felt something on her leg and after brushing it off, realized it was a huge cockroach. We immediately got up and left.

What a great find for authentic Mexican!!!

The food is great! I think this may be one of the best mexican restaurant Ive been to.

Best authentic Mexican food in the east! Cute patio but the seating could be better arranged and the service was slow even when it was dead. Super friendly staff though so definitely recommend!

Live Karaoke, Amazing wait staff and food

The food is delicious, all the waiters speak Spanish. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant! Fav tacos: shrimp, fish, carnitas, chorizo, birria, chicken tinga. Machetes are also excellent. I always have a chicken tinga machete. Love the crunch and the melted cheese. If could make one suggestion: more jalepeno in the pico de gallo, please. Sleeper item on the menu is the pozole. Its a very flavourful and hearty soup loaded with chicken and corn - perfect anytime. The servers may look intimidating but they are the friendliest dudes youll ever meet. They are very attentive and provide great service. Its always a pleasant experience.

Surprisingly very good fries and wings at this joint. Plantains left a lot to be desired.

We had a taco bar at our Regatta this year and ordered everything from Mexitaco. We had ceviche, chicken tinga, birria beef, chorizo, carnitas, and vegetarian options for everyone. The chips and tortillas were corn based, and so they were great for our gluten free guests. The ordering was so easy, and they delivered the food on time and hot! They sent over all of the toppings in separate containers and the young men who delivered the food were incredibly polite and helpful! The food was phenomenal! The meat was juicy and tender, not overcooked, and the ceviche!! Ohhhhh there was nothing left it was sooooo good! People kept coming up and asking where we ordered the food from and we happily told them Mexitaco! We will definitely be back! Thank you for a great dinner!!

Pleasantly surprised with how great the food & drinks were! We were passing by and stopped here on a whim. The Micheladas are the best we ve had in Toronto. Sopa Azteca, tacos de arrecherra and guacamole were all delicious! We are a Mexican family and were very impressed. Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs

Solid food and very quick service. The environment was a bit interesting; the older music videos playing on the TV kind of reminded of cheap bars in South Korea but not necessarily in a bad way. If it was a busy night I could see the inside getting a bit hot with only the one AC unit inside.

My buddy has been telling me how great this place is because him and his wife go there all the time. I made the trek to Scarborough and right off the bat I will mention that parking is going to be an issue to anyone who is not from the area of the restaurant. We managed to find parking on Vic Park but not really that close to the restaurant. Walking in, the music and decor were very Mexican and inviting. The server who greeted us was very friendly as well. Ordering was tough because not many toddler friendly choices on the menu. For example, I was going to order just a side order of beans with some tortillas for my daughter but it turns out that the beans come standard with chipotle pepper making it too spicy for a baby. When they said it was not possible to have the beans without the chopped up chipotle inside then my heart broke because that usually means these beans are either mass produced, purchased and reheated just to serve; or made in the morning, mass produced, reheated and served. I am not a fan of supermarket instant food being served at restaurants at a premium. I ordered the ceviche fish and shrimp, it was nice but not spectacular. I am on a quest to find the best ceviche in the city, but today I will have to keep looking. The nacho chips they serve with the ceviche seemed freshly baked so I appreciated that. I also got the pastor tacos, but the meat was way too dry, they were cold and not savoury. I got the impression that this place is more about the drinks and atmosphere than the food so I will come back on a day when I can try the margaritas. As a family restaurant I am sad to say I wouldn t recommend.

Haven t been in too long! Love everything.

Everything is delicious and friendly staff

Highly recommend. Food taste super delicious. Ordered shrimp tacos & quesadillas. Although a lil pricey but taste wise good. Staffs are friendly. Interior is 10/10. Dont forget to take picture with the skeleton by the entrance.

Great food and atmosphere. I had the tacos de birria and it was delicious. I ll come back again. Parking: Parking was tough. I parked at McDonald s and walked across the street.

Delicious!

These are not a real Mexican dishes they tasted so bad I was so disappointed

Their taco de birria was amazing, I never order anything else because its that good

Excelente. The most delicious Mexican food outside of Mexico. Wonderful menu options and the food came fast and hot. Nice decor

We came here and It happened to have kareoke night. The vibe was AMAZING. The server was really passionate and made us feel like we were embraced by the enthusiastic culture. The food was great with decent price! We would definitely come back! Highly recommended!

Good service, the only thing that needs to be mixed is the staff. Excellent

Ariel was the best server. We were planning a surprise birthday party for our friend and we were a group of 12. They were very accommodating and fun!

I love to find all kinds of meat that I need, good prices, a lot of Latin products

I loved it, can do better but I still recommend you check out this place coz I love the ambience

I had a late night dinner at Mexitaco - sampled several plates and had a perfect dining experience. Food was delicious, fast, and my waiter was the BEST (peep my custom tres leches dessert plate!!) Will 100% be returning next time Im in Toronto.

3 years back, gave it a 5 star. Now downgraded due to food quality.

service & food was good but the restaurant just smelled like recently cleaned bathroom which kinda ruined appetite also didn t know where to park Food

Dirty food...they do show any respect to customers or Uber drivers....the y never apologize for late food preparation....

Great food and great place to gather with friends with good Mexico food. However, there are no parking lots. Food

Cool little Mexican place with great food and great drinks!

I picked this place to satisfy a variety of dietary preferences in my party, including gluten-free and vegetarian. Food was excellent, it didnt seem very customizable though, because some things were pre-made, but I will say, it tasted good and there were a lot of options anyway. Prices were decent, cheaper than other options for dining out, but the portions seemed a bit on the smaller side...not ridiculously small, just a bit below what Id expect. Service was friendly, parking a small hassle. Id definitely return, but not if I was starving. Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian options, as well as seafood if that is acceptable Parking: If they had their own parking lot, I didnt notice. I was able to find street parking within 2 blocks. It was easy, but it was also later in the evening, I am not sure how easy it would have been during peak dining hours.

Always quality, delicious tacos! Great service, delicious food. Decor is charming, good drink and food selection. Only issue is parking on site, there isnt really any. Parking: Have to park in other nearby lots which isnt ideal.

I thought the price was a little high for the portion of food they gave.

We are so grateful for Mexitaco - its the only decent restaurant in the area. The food is fresh and comes out fast, the service is always friendly and the ambience is great - they have live music on the weekends and usually have great music playing all day long over the stereo. Great selection of food and drink - were here at least a couple times a month. The only thing to watch out for is that the bathrooms are in the basement so unfortunately not accessible to those in wheelchairs/limited mobility.

Great quality Mexican food with a really good house (Mexitaco Lager)draft beer also. Nice atmosphere with a large patio. Will definitely be back again.

Great authentic Mexican food. Tacos, ceviche tostados etc.

Amazing Tacos and even more spectacular services! This location is very low key and cozy. Have to park at the NoFrill across the street but I don t mind since all their food items are as authentic as it gets Parking: There s parking at nearby plaza or No Frill across the street

Pretty great experience everyone behind the counter was super kind and welcoming. However the decorations were distracting. It was Day of the Dead, Christmas, Easter, Cinco De Mayo all at once and there were so many lights I think there was even a disco light there. Sensory overload with the music and the lights

Great reasonably priced food and a fun lively atmosphere.

Loved the food and the service was wonderful!!

Loved it, learned some Spanish as well!!! Amazing place, I recommend lots of names are confusing, just ask :)))))) and they have karaoke and live singers, 4 times I visited :))))

Best Mexican food in the GTA and Toronto!!!

I love the whole vibe of this restaurant! The food is very delicious! and the service is phenomenal! Such a wonderful staff that they have at this location. I DEFINITELY recommend this restaurant, you will leave the place with a smile on your face.

Tequila. tacos. Yes please.

Super good attention, very friendly and efficient

They dont get your order right. The food is very greasy. I dont recommend it and will never eat here again. Very disappointed

Went on a Friday night with live music. Good night out. People were joyous and happy. Food was okays. Parked across the street at the grocery store. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetation / Bean / cheeses options available. Kid-friendliness: Many kids there. They enjoyed the music.
