Walked by on a whim. Liked that they had lots of traditional taco cuts that you don’t see as often. Pcitured from left to right: lengua (beef tongue), bucce (pork stomach), and cuerito (pork skin). I’ve had better lengua as this one tasted just boiled with minimal seasoning. I also prefer my lengua crisped up on the plancha to give some texture. But it is getting harder to find in the city so I was still happy to have it. Really enjoyed the bucce and cuerito though! Would come back for more and to try some of their other variety. Note the menus they gave in store didn’t have the full list of meat options, see their online menu instead. Loved being able to choose my own salsas/toppings and having sides of cucumber slices available. Most Mexican joints don’t give this many veggie offerings. Wednesdays are buy two tacos get one free.

Tried this place on a whim because I saw that they had cabeza and lengua. I was shocked by the size and how amazing it tasted. I ordered the pastor, cabeza and lengua, and tamarindo. They come out without any topping but they have a salsa and condiments bar. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

Desperately seeking a Cold Bloody Ceasar on this hot day, on Bloor east of Dufferin... Stumbled into this sweet spot. A spicy Michelalada made with Negra Modelo beer, Clamato, Tajin and fresh lime juice, could not be more perfect! I ate my Nopales Taco w/ onions and cheese without accompaniment and it couldn't have been better, but maybe I should have taken advantage of the vege and sauce bar. See pictures please! And visit soon friends!

Easily one of my new favourite places for tacos in the city! So close to Ossington station with a lovely vibe and great music. We tried the Pastor, Barbacoa, Cecina (taco and torta) and Carnitas tacos. They were all amazing! They have a self serve bar with pico, limes, onions, and a range of hot sauces so we added whatever we liked to the tacos. Their mango drink was INCREDIBLE. I have really high standards for mangoes (having grown up at the equator) and the drink raised the bar! I’m adding 1910 to my favourites list and I’ll be coming back here with more family and friends in the near future. Thank you for an amazing Sunday lunch! 💗

Great place. The topping bar is fun. The adobada taco was excellent, highly recommend it. Music was really good. The bathrooms were really fancy.

Located near Dovercourt and Bloor, 1910 La Mexicana is a convenient spot for those craving authentic tacos. They offer a self-serve toppings bar and four types of salsa (verde, roja, spicy, and really spicy) to add a customizable touch to the dining experience. Very delicious food and would come back to try more of the menu! The restaurant has ample seating with lots of tables and bar stools, ensuring that customers can comfortably enjoy their meals. During our experience, we ordered the Barbacoa, Cecina, Longaniza, and Pastor tacos. Our favourites were the well-cooked and delicious beef in the Barbacoa and the flavourful marinated pork in the Pastor. You can choose to pre-pay or pay afterward, with the option to use credit or debit cards. Their staff are super friendly and welcoming and added to the whole experience.

This place looks one of those family owned authentic mexican places. I’m a huge taco person and this place is one of the most authentic feeling taco places I’ve been to in Toronto. Cabeza, longaniza, champinone and horchata are a must try. I’m excited I have another place on my go to taco places in town! This place mostly got good pork/beef and meat tacos and some vegan options. I’m coming back when I’m craving for meat tacos. Highly recommend if you are down for some decent real mexican taco!!

Recently opened place that serves only delicious and authentic tacos!!! The meat is cooked in large whole pieces and freshly pulled off right in front of you so it's fresh and hot ...just right and not overly salty. Love the self-serve fresh toppings bar on the side. Really nice crew and vibrant vibe with tables and bar stools for eating in.

I love these tacos, they all have an authentic flavor that the truth is that every time I come I fall in love more The service is very warm and the place is very cozy. Every Wednesday they have a pay two tacos and eat three promotion. You can order the head tacos with tongue, eye, cheek. Its incredible and if youre up for it you can try a highly sought-after taco of brains by the way I have also tried huaraches and cakes. Without a doubt the best Mexican place in Toronto. Vegetarian options: They have mushroom and nopales tacos, they are delicious

What could we say that hasnt been said about the food served here, excellent service from arrival and during the stay, well-served portions leaving nothing to talk about. The best side dishes in the GTA. Lets hope they continue like this and the seasoning and quality they have demonstrated does not fall into the spotlight. Without a doubt a piece of Mexico in Toronto.

We went to their previous location over a year ago and have been dreaming about their tacos de cabeza ever since. Luckily we were able to find their new location! Best tortilla, juiciest meat, amazing salsas, cant go wrong. We will be stopping here every time we come to toronto.

Hello friends Honestly, they dont make tacos like before. The tacos have no flavor and the michelada is not good I give it a 3/10 the service is good only the food is not so much but I still support them in any way very successful

I wanted to like them, but I wouldnt go back. Since I tried them in Eglinton I didnt like them, but it wasnt until I was in the restaurant that I realized they were the same and I wanted to give them another chance. First the positive, the location is very good, the girl served us very well, and the carnitas were not that bad. What I didnt like was that I ordered the michelada without Clamato and they gave it to me with and hot, the girl said she would add ice, in the end she didnt add any and well, the taste was the worst michelada Ive ever tried in Toronto, no I could take it. The carnitas cake that my boyfriend ordered was delicious, I think its much more worth it than the tacos, which we didnt like as much. Something that I personally dont like is that all the clients use the same utensils to serve their sauces and lemons. It seems a bit unhygienic to me, since most Mexican food is eaten with the hands, as is the Stopping every time you want to serve something can be uncomfortable for some customers. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options Parking: It is difficult to find where to park

Very bad experience, the truth is that I ordered some tacos and they arrived on different plates, on my brothers plate some of my tacos arrived and others on another plate, very terrible organization, no sympathy with the employees, a girl arrived and just told me there, look for which one it is Yours, he didnt offer any apology or anything, the taste was not pleasant, just meat with salt, the truth is, a terrible experience, I only went because it was uploaded to social networks and I said lets give it a chance, which I didnt like.

Popping in on a Wednesday as I walked by this place many times and seeing a taco special. Holding back my need for a decent taco, I finally caved into those cravings. First impressions feels like a contemporary Mexican restaurant, fusing both a bit of a familial touch with a bistro or street vendor. The staff was quite nice and allowed for open seating, no reservations required. Though there was some sidewalk seating to take in the street life or the sunny days, I did choose an inside air conditioned seating. Particularly gave the high top facing 12 inches to a mirror reflecting the rustic, earthy atmosphere of the wood tables split with metal accents. I arrived in a nice time where there seems to be a mix of customers about - students, families, group of friends all sitting for a meal. While enjoying my tacos, I did enjoy a great vibe with Mexican music piped through the speakers, felt like I could be sitting street side and watching a band play with my tacos. Since its a Wednesday I arrived, I had to take advantage of the buy 2 get 1 taco special. Took a pastor, pollo and their signature carnitas estilo Michoacán. Presentation isnt much but definitely the best feature is these tacos are loaded with their filling and allows for a do-it-yourself style of customizing your tacos. I had no idea what I was doing but tried almost everything they had on hand. At the time, they have line, chopped parsley, salsa, red and white onions, cucumbers and two sauces. On the base, the filling is incredibly seasoned the pastor and carnitas is incredibly flavour filled and the toppings only compliment and amplify the filling. With ample amounts of filling, the second warm tortilla makes for a great second helping. The tortillas themselves taste quite interesting. The texture has that soft tortilla bread feel but also freshly baked. The pollo taco was a good take, nothing to really write about in flavour but it was cooked to a tender texture and chopped with potatoes and onions which gives it a hearty texture with a savoury taste All the while, the service isnt too confrontational. It reminds me more of a Chinese restaurant where they let the food speak to their work there than having the staff speak on behalf of the food. The staff, however, are really kind and really focused on their work. I managed to ask the cook (?) for my order while the waitstaff was busy with other orders. To be fair, he did step behind the counter to prep the line filling and was the only one front of house. I did appreciate he did let me just ask him. After my first visit, Im definitely making a return for nachos and their other offers besides tacos. However for an obvious choice, tacos is the way to go for a great lunch or light dinner.

This was a delicious experience and the closest I ve had in Toronto to Mexico City. We had 5 tacos between 2 for a satisfying lunch, so at $6 a taco it s a good deal too. The champiñones, nopales, pollo, carnitas and adobada were all super tasty in very distinct ways. Highly recommended.

Got myself a good old lengua and their special carnitas. Like everywhere else food prices have gone up but at least they have a self serve condiment bar where you can rack up unlimited onions and cilantro. They have four kinds of salsa (verde, roja, spicy, really spicy). They play nice latino music in the background while you dunk those juicy tacos down the pipe. I d definitely hit this over Gus .

We are so happy to have this new addition to the neighbourhood. It will surely bring some stiff competition for Gus Taco which opened up nearby and doesnt have as much seating. The taco fillings were tasty with generous portion sizes. The sauce bar is amazing with onions, lime, red chili oil, salsa roja, salsa verde, and an orange salsa that has some serious kick. We got 6 tacos for 2 people but probably two were enough. For 6 tacos and two horchata plus tax and tip it came to 60$. But we could have spent only 45$. We would love to see them expand their menu and stock a few craft beers (even if they are not usually part of the taqueria experience.) Maybe some Micheladas, margaritas or palomas to diversify things? The Horchata was good with lots of cinnamon. What I like about this place is you see the chef pull out the meat and chop it up with a cleaver in front of you just like in the roadside stands in Mexico. They also had some more adventurous things like tacos made from the meat from the cows head. We didnt try, but its good they are not only catering to gringos!
