Gus Tacos in Toronto

I might come here for the music and atmosphere and stay for the tacos...

Good service

Authentic Mexican flavor Birria 10/10 Roast 10/10 BBQ 10/10

Amazing and authentic

Our new go-to place for burritos....omg, sooooo good!!

Hit the taco craving right when I wanted to!

A magnificent place with unmatched food and flavor 100% recommended

They often screw up your order. Like mine AGAIN today. Sucks the lack of attention they provide to maintain happy customers. It s one thing to get to the top, but it s another to figure out how to stay there. Big thumbs down, which is where you re probably heading.

Was good, sucks hard now.

My daughter and I love it here. The staff is super nice and the tacos are authentic. The chips are fresh and guacamole is great. Favorites are the carnitas and barbacoa. All in all it s amazing value at $5/taco and $8 for guacamole/chips. Lo s Tacos son bien reprtados. Shout out to Rubi, Enrique, Kimberly and Mehmet!

Gus Tacos is awesome! Great food, friendly staff, clean facilities. The interior is super bare bones, but it makes me feel like I m in a proper taqueria in mexico

Thisplace has the best tortas and quesadillas, I hope you can visit it soon

Good choice for Mexican food and nice atmosphere there with reasonable price

Dont sleep on the tortas! I usually get tacos when I come here, and theyre good, but today I got the pastor torta and it was LIFE CHANGING. The meat was cooked perfectly and the ingredients were fresh. They give you a ton of avocado and the bread was so so soft and fresh. It was a perfect sandwich. Its also HEFTY as hell, so I thought Id save the second half for dinner, but I just couldnt stop eating it.

I give 4 stars because although food is expensive, products are expensive ; the prices are just too high.

What an incredible experience; the food was beyond amazing, the staff very friendly, and my stomach very full. Definitely recommend!

Not fresh because no one gives a damn about anything anymore.

Get the lamb tacos

Long time Gus Tacos lover but service has never been great at this location, I got pretty sick after having the barbacoa here. Looking at some other reviews for this location people have found plastic, cardboard, and bones in their tacos. Step up.

Best tacos in Toronto and best service, great area and outdoor patio

Every time I come, the people and food are amazing. Once I came in after a long day about 5 mins to close because of traffic. I even cringe at this! The people greeted me like it was normal hours and didn t hesitate to whip up a last minute dinner. I tipped extra and was so grateful. Feel good food all around!

We waited for 25 mins because they gave our initial order away to another customer. I asked for a complimentary drink, because we waited again, the server said no, he/they wasnt authorized to give me a fountain drink. Anyway if youre going to cultural appropriate or appreciate a Jamaican drink, spelling it properly would be a great first step.

Nice. Real nice. Gus, youre nice.

Oswaldo was amazing! He gave great service the food was so good we ordered for a party and they even provided plates and forks for us. Can t say how great this place is

Love this location. Kind and nice stuff. Beautiful!

Amazing Gus Tacos The guacamole is really fresh, and the tacos are pretty good! Food

Good place to eat, good staff

It was a really nice experience.. The food was fresh and the servers had a big smile serving us. An enjoyable experience overall.

no cheese, flour torts (not corn), not worth it Update: My email in response to their request; Hey, my name is John and Im responding to your request for clarity from my Google review earlier this evening. I ordered (2) birria tacos with the broth and medium sauce. What I got was 2 cold wheat tortillas with unseasoned meat and topped with some chopped onion and cilantro. Why dont you google birria tacos and click images? Also your broth had no seasoning. Im sorry but those were worse than taco bell.

Everything is good at Gus. The pastor burritos are fat and loaded and the fish tacos are delicious.

I stopped here while on vacation, i thought the other reviews about fast service were exaggerating they are not. i order 4 tacos (one of 4 different kinds) they were ready and fresh and hot in minutes. I barely had time to grab my drink and sit down. the cashier was super friendly and helped several other people while i was in the building enjoying my meal. I was still several kilometers from my hotel and returning later was not a efficient option, after my meal was over I returned to the counter and made an additional order so I could have more for dinner the following night and the cashier and cook were both super pleasant about my to go order. I would eat here again if I was ever in country on another trip.

Great Tortas. .good toppings

Food was delivered luke warm and no taste....I had ordered chicken tacos and it was absolutely disgusting

Surprisingly some of the best Mexican food I ve ever had (and yea, I ve been to Mexico). Pastor Quesadilla was incredible. Food

The tacos here are fantastic!! They are huge and super tasty!! A great value for your dollars! The service was fast and friendly and parking on the nearby street is free. Definitely coming back again!!!! Vegetarian options: Cheese and guacamole tacos and tortas

Ive only ordered online and I can say that so far they are the best tacos Ive ever had.

Quick tacos for a pocket friendly price Highly recommend Food

Very tasty food, and the portions were too good!

If youre thinking of getting something like taco bell, choose this instead. More authentic, better ingredients, and a more pleasant staff.

Quesdilla is a joke

It s clutch! That lamb barbacoa is heavenly! All day!

Delicious Tacos! For $5 a taco you can t complain at all and the flavours are delicious! I went with the beef, fish, and chicken. All three with rich flavour and I paired it with the hot sauce which gives it a nice kick! Tacos are made very fast too, we had our food in under 5 minutes from ordering it! Would come back if I m ever in the area again and recommended it to friends and family! A must try if you are looking for a quick lunch or dinner.

Its a really good place, the best birria and chicken tacos!

Great service, decent place. Foods price is nice. Tasteless, mediocre food, though, and the bathroom could have used a touchup. Food : 2/5

I had a fish torta which was hot, flavourful and sumptuous. Comes with your choice of sauce i.e. hot,medium and mild. Portion was good and service was prompt and delightful. Overall a nice spot to check out if youre craving some mexican food in the area.

Great tacos, authentic Mexican tacos without being drowned in cabbage like some other places. Fish taco was a huge piece of fish, birria and pork tacos similarly great. Really enjoyed the drinks too!

Some of the tastiest tacos Ive ever had. Same goes for the chips and guac. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the tacos.

Absolutely love Gus taco! The guac and chips are a great deal. This location also has a great patio! I have a gluten intolerance and have never had any issues eating here!

when i order takeout here I get home, open my tray and my tacos are swimming in a few millimeters of grease. Its something to keep in mind if you are travelling far before eating, Id eat in otherwise. Third or fourth time this has happened :(

Always fast , fresh and tasty ..

The best best best place around for a quick, inexpensive, delicious meal Im addicted to the fish tacos

These guys know tacos!! Fast, delicious food! Ive been to their Queen st and Dupont st locations several times and enjoyed it throughly! The decor is simple and clean in their signature red, white and black color scheme. You really cannot go wrong!!

Absolutely love Gus Taco! Their tacos are incredibly delicious, packed with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. Its a true neighborhood gem, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic and mouthwatering tacos!

UPDATE TO REVIEW: It has become a regular Sunday routine for my wife and I to visit Gus. Its that good. Its a hit, Im a die-hard fan. Never ever been disappointed; always satisfied. I would recommend LITERALLY everything on the menu. // No frills, back-to-basics tacos. Just the most flavourful meats with cilantro and onion as garnish. Option to add avocado/cheese but none of the extra stuff youd see at fancier establishments looking to fill you for less cost. Very affordable and it was a nice surprise to see that they also offer burritos, tortas, quesadillas, etc. Service was super quick, friendly and beyond expected for such a casual establishment. I would definitely go again!

Always good to visit Gus Tacos for the best Mexican Tacos and my favourite is the battered fish quesadilla.

Affordable and yummy tacos Patio is open for the summer and is dog-friendly Staff have always been friendly and welcoming Food : 5/5

Love this place . AMAZING FOOD

Most authentic Hispanic tacos north or the Rio Grande! Amazing service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Great environment, friendly and accommodating workers. As far as tacos go, the barbacoa was on the dry side. Birria consomme being an extra $4 seemed unfair. Salsas are delicious. Tortas are the best option here. Carnitas torta is incredible. Prices are good.

Good quality food, but I wish the staff would take their smoke breaks away from the open door.

My fav tacos in Toronto

Love these tacos when Im on the go, I am never disappointed and it always hit the spot!

I had a taco ! And as plain as that answer was the taco I had Boring ! I had the steak, and my wife had the chicken the topping were very minimal at 5.00. I would of thought they could give some toppings . And there is no sour cream ! You heard me ! There is no sour cream . As I sat there eating my 5.00 3 bite Taco lets just say any big man is not going to this place for lunch is hes having tacos ! It would cost atheist 50.00 to have enough tacos to fill the average construction worker ! Last thing that really got me mad there was 5 employees standing around and the bathrooms were disgusting I have used out house that were cleaner ! Im definitely over rating this place . Even there frontage and logo look like they did it on the cheap ! Instead of making a great product they racedto open as many as they can to grab the money before they go out of business ! If you eat at this place bring rollaids !

One of the best taco spots in the city.

very good tacos

Easily some of the best tacos in the city

These tacos are DEEP filled - best taste and value in town

Always yummy. Simple decent food with good portions. Happy service.

Love Gus taco! So yummy. Thought there are not many vegetarian options. And unfortunately they have started charging for extra hot sauce.

Very good service from the people who run this establishment and prepare very delicious food.

This place is so good very good prices too. The orange sauce is very spicy and I love that

Great tacos. Great place. Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Found a chicken bone I. My burrito and they would not even acknowledge something was wrong made it seem I prepared the food.Not nice at all

Have been enjoying the Barbacoa broth as breakfast on Sundays. Don t like the atmosphere, feels like a fast food chain.

Burrito is sloppy and not easy to enjoy and the quesadilla looked like a taco and was flavorless.

Good tacos. But the pastor tacos are disappointing.

Fast service

Im Chilean and I think its good, the chipotle sauce is very tasty.

Had the taco. Very delicious. Simple and good. I would recommend it to anyone. That likes Mexican food.

Great value. Parking: Street parking was easily available when I visited. Food : 5/5 |

Authentic Mexican cuisine, loved the simplicity of the dishes. Very tasty and well prepared. Sauces are very good! Staff is very friendly Food : 5/5

Great fish tacos.

Great and educated service. The atmosphere has a great comfortable and large seating area. The food is absolutely AMAZING! Real homemade authentic TACO, Burritos quesadilla. They brought my food to my table. They have the authentic classic coca cola glass bottle with cane suga Clean establishment.

Old fashion style, with really polite staff. Tacos quesadilla and guacamole were really good.

Decent tacos, $5 each, fast service, friendly service, freshly made, good selection, lots of seating, street parking available. Fairly large patio. Recommend.

Delicious, no frills , fast food,clean and did I mention affordable? Mostly just delicious. Vegetarian options: Mushroom And fresh cheese and avocado options Kid-friendliness: Simple fast food/ diner vibe. Very family friendly Wheelchair accessibility: Just one floor, large bathrooms, patio eating as well

I have tried these tacos for more than 2 years and I have always liked them, I can understand that they make mistakes and it is normal, but for what I pay I can give it 5 stars

Good place for tacos

Slamminnnngggg tacos. So damn good

We love Gus Tacos, so happy there s one close to our new home

BEST in the neighborhood!!! they have a lot of locations but so happy this is walking distance

I visited this place to try their tacos and quesadillas. I ordered: 1. Chicken Quesadilla: Really good 2. Mushroom Taco: Awful. Won t recommend 3. Cheese & Avocado Taco: Best option in vegetarian The spice level was perfect. Prices are reasonable. Service is fast. Overall I don t recommend this place for anyone looking for vegetarians options but great otherwise. Vegetarian options: Mushroom Taco and Cheese & Avocado Taco

Door dash, sucked charged for everything but did not get my tacos and my burrito feel apart... sucked

Worst burrito you could possibly get toronto food scene is the worst in the world

These tacos were bussin fr fr no cap. Mushroom taco went hard and so did the night team. Literally best service from any restaurant Wish there were more vegan options because I want more! Food

Delicious and affordable!

Quality food for a good price

Night crew was the bomb dot com dot net!!! Chips and Guac were so good and the quesadilla was bussin!

Delicious and so well priced! The night crew were so friendly and had great recommendations - the lamb broth was so rich and flavourful and the chilaca was really fresh and tasty. Vegetarian options: The mushroom filling is vegan, and the fresh cheese and avocado filling is vegetarian.

Really delicious tacos. Toronto has such high standards based on so many options. It would be nice to have actual seats but I appreciate the stool vibes. Guac was legit!

cold taco shells, cold taco meat.

Food amazing,but cant say for the service.my drinks, chips and guac are missing then the person is very sure about he packed them..

While I m sure all of their locations are grand, I will specifically drive out of my way to pick up from DuPont. The people that work there are so lovely, providing customer service with such care. Blanca, is a gem of a human, who gracefully puts up with me and my chaotic orders with a warm smile every time!

Fast service, good food, tidy place to grab a quick bite. Vegetarian options: Fresh cheese taco Food : 5/5 |

Love all the Gus tacos. Always friendly and always delicious.

Absolutely love the tacos here. They are delicious and well priced! Vegetarian options: The tortillas are gluten free and they have options that do not have meet Dietary restrictions: The tortillas are not wheat based but corn Parking: Mainly street parking but lots of side street available with free parking. There is also paid street parking. Kid-friendliness: It is definitely a place for all ages

$5 tacos! Shut up and eat!

Use gloves!!!!!!!!!!!!!, ate this food, got the stomach flu and my whole family sick! Worst 80$ of my life

I love this place. Been ordering for this place for a while and it never disappoints. The steak burrito and the fish tacos are my go to and it s so dam good.

Pains me to give Gus a rating like this. This is the newest restaurant in the Toronto restaurant chain (I think) and they re just not executing it as well. Meat was dry, single tortilla tacos meant filling was tearing through and falling apart and making a mess. If you want a good taco, go to Gus Tacos on Gladstone, they do it right.

The food is very delicious and fresh, the price is standard, but it would only have two drawbacks, they need to put a double tortilla on the tacos, because they break, and the fresh waters are not horchata and Jamaica, disappointing. Better to remove thats flavored water like kool aid.

I come here often, but have had this issue more than once. Last time, we found cardboard pieces in our barbacoa. The staff just took it back and made us a new one. I got takeout today and spat this out of my burrito- its PLASTIC. The fact that this is the only restaurant where Ive had to worry about cardboard and plastic in my food is ridiculous. Its a shame because the food is great otherwise.

The food was delicious.

Wow!!!! The food was amazing and the service matched. Visited on Saturday December 30th while my teens and their friends were at the Taylor Swift Escape Room down the street. Very cute and homie little place. Not great parking so just park across the street. After having a beef taco I got the teens and brought them back to eat. We got a chicken quesadilla, 3 beef tacos, mushroom taco, several drinks and chicken tacos. All the food was delicious. Sadly we got to experience a rude customer during our visit but the gentleman that was in the kitchen (I m guessing a manager) was VERY polite but the guy was rude nonetheless. But the Gus employee handle it with grace. For sure will be returning to this location even tho it s 30 min from our home.

This is the best Gus Tacos place, I have been to several branches but this branch is definitely the best, from the service, the way they prepare the tacos and the cleanliness of the place. There is also a worker named Rubi who is on the grill always prepares my tacos super well! Its good that they have an employee as dedicated and good as her.

Good value tasty tacos and quesadillas. Particularly like the pastor (pork and pineapple).

Delicious burritos, I got the mushroom and it was very good. I must say the price for it is off. $12 for a child size. If you want a meal you have to buy two. I was pretty upset about that. I attached an image, I have small hands Nonetheless, my friends have never had an issue with there s. Truly worth a try if you are in the area craving good Mexican food,

Good tacos but meat was a bit dry

The pastor was ok. The birria was completely dry and tasteless. I mean it was so dry it was hard to swallow. We had heard good things so we were very dissapointed.

If youre looking for some of the best tacos in town, look no further! Theyve got it quite a great selection. The lamb broth is quite hearty and perfect for a cold winters day. Braised lamb tacos were awesome! The service and staff were top notch. Cant wait to be back.

The taste of the burrito is the absolute best, but very disappointed as they have decreased the size of their burritos. It won t be enough to make you feel satisfied after your meal .

Fish taco is me favourite, but the guacamole is a family favourite too.

If youre looking for one of the best tacos in town, look no further! Braised lamb tacos, lamb broth, guacamole and chips, fish tacos, quesadilas; everything was fresh and on point in their flavour profiles. Service and staff at this location are top notch. Will definitely come back for more.

Crazy good tacos for crazy good price

I ordered mushroom Quesadilla and this is what it looked like when I opened the box when I got home. Disgusting! Inedible.

Barbacoa is great. Fast service.

the best shepherd gringas!!!!

This is my favourite taco spot in the city and tacos are my absolute favourite food. For some reason this location is way better than the Kensington location that I ve tried in the past. I make the slightly longer journey to visit this spot every time I need a taco fix now.

I have wanted to go here for a while. I ordered ahead of time and was there a little early. It was bright and clean and decorated it in Latin colors. The menu is short but the burritos were really really good. They forgot to put one of the spicy salsa containers in the bag but no big deal. The place on Dupont has a bit of a diner feel. The staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Just a note that if you want grilled fish tacos you need to go to another location. This one only does battered fish. I would come back.

forget it

The tacos was subpar. There is room to improve your Horchata. The place is clean and organized. Would only recommend if you re having tacos for the first time. If not, ask your mom to cook tacos for you. Peace & love.

Finally tried their tacos after driving by many times. Same proteins across the menu. Fast service, decent other of seating Nachos and Guacamole- nachos were freshly made, warm and crispy. A little greasy but yum. Guacamole was pretty good, I prefer more cilantro. Fish tacos - definitely the star. Perfectly battered and flaky. Pastor, Birria, carnitas - dry and not flavourful. Beef - good.

With this they go twice that happens to me the first time I didnt say anything but now twice its not worth it I ordered 2 quesadillas and they only gave me one even a very friendly girl before I left took away a taco that I hadnt ordered a sign of having checked my order before leaving the place so I recommend that you check your orders

A week ago While I was driving along Dupont Street, I have a noticed a new restaurant called Gus tacos. Today I was in the area got a craving for fish tacos, so I thought I d check out the place Staff was friendly and I was feeling optimistic. After taking the first bite, i was blown away by the flavour of the mayonnaise sauce, but then shortly there after I realized what a huge disappointment the fish taco was. 1. The breading of the fish was so crunchy and sharp that it gave me cuts on my gums just from trying to eat the tacos. 2. The breading to fish ratio was way out of whack, I basically tasted the breading more than I did the fish. Big let down in my opinion. I don t know about any of the other items on the menu since the only thing I ve tried was the fish tacos

Great quesadillas, good vegetarian options, GREAT sauces. Vegetarian options: Theres mushroom and avocado + cheese options that are really great. Food : 5/5 |

Delish highly recommended

Everything I ordered was very tasty.

Casual taco spot. Fabulous food and reasonable prices! Guac was delicious and so were the tacos.

They have the best fish tacos in town! I immediately loved them but still decided to go around trying a few other places and was disappointed each time when they were no match for Gus Tacos Vegetarian options: They have a few options for vegetarians too: mushroom, and fresh cheese and avocado.

I had the tortas with carnitas. OMG, SO GOOD! I will definitely be returning.

Great tasting tacos at reasonable prices. Definitely recommend the fish taco.

No frills best al pastor in the city. The portions are great and the value is phenomenal. Highly recommend. There are multiple locations with a takeaway or fast food eat in atmosphere.
