Our cocktails are inspired by Mexican tradition but elevated to your tasting pleasure and our food is flavourful and exquisite. Plus we have incredible live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday! So what are you waiting for? Let's celebrate together.
We loved the vibe, staff was amazing, and food and drinks were really great! The music and atmosphere really made our night and the staff were so friendly and warm!
La Nayarita was so much fun! Brought a friend for her bday and the vibe was JUST RIGHT! We did sit out in the patio but there are heaters and we felt warm and toasty. The delicious drinks also helped with that! Arturo, our server was friendly, quick and informative! He told us what was in the drinks and gave us Wonderful suggestions for food. We ate the Quesabirrias, Flautas and Enchiladas and we enjoyed every single bite! A live band played and we just felt completely at home. Highly recommend this spot! I'm coming back again on Taco Tuesday!
Pretty solid experience across the board. I saw that they have a $100 date night promo which I'm sure it's worth it. Food is fresh, tasty and presented beautifully (I'll take pics next time). Service is exceptional (even if we weren't in Toronto where service overall has dipped). The atmosphere and vibes do set the tone I'd say. The patio in the back and live music I look forward to also 😊
One of the best Mexican restaurants in city. Their mole is fantastic!!! Rich and really tender chicken. The molcajetes had quite a variety of grilled items draped around the edges with a tangy grilled set of vegetables sitting at the bottom. Come here!
Came here for the first time at the suggestion of my date, which was nice since I like Mexican food. As soon as we walk in, loud music welcomed my ears as well as people dancing at the front of the restaurant. I'm guessing it was a birthday party, which was cool (I first thought the place was closed for the party). Server greets us and leads us to the table that's just closely across the party, which I thought was strange. Atmosphere was fun for the first five minutes. Server was good and the bartender was friendly. Service was overall good and the food was amazing, I ended up finishing my date's quesabirria. Tacos were also delicious. I just don't understand why there's a loud party going on at the front, while there's normal customers (there were other people seated at the table next to us) dining in the same space. I honestly couldn't understand what my date was saying to me half the time.
La Nayarita has daily deals, my favourite is 2 tacos for $5 on Tuesdays. Not all tacos are included in this promo but your server will assist you on that. My friend tried the frozen daiquiri and it was delicious. I feel like the prices without the promo are a little steep but there’s always a deal you can take advantage of and the food and drinks are really good. They have a very nice sheltered back patio perfect to enjoy the good weather.
Wowww literally the BEST authentic Mexican restaurant in Toronto! The food was delicious the atmosphere was amazing. They even had the most talented Mariachi performer singing to us for my husbands birthday. Couldn’t ask for better service and lovely staff. 110% recommend!!!!🎉🎉🎉
We came by at the end of the night and even though the kitchen was getting ready to close, we were greeted and seated with friendliness and kindness. The servers, Mariana and Fernanda, were so kind and gave excellent recommendations! All of the food was so flavourful and fresh. So grateful for the experience… we will be back again!
What a lovely spot, nicely tucked away! The ambiance was my favourite part of our experience. We came for apps and drinks and ended staying the afternoon. We met Alex, such a nice young man! Definitely recommend a visit, we will be back!
Alexis was outstanding! Best Pozole around too!
Great place to grab tacos on Queen West, super friendly staff and the food is really authentic. Service was top notch and the presentation was excellent. Gets busier for dinner so we always try to get in before the evening crowd.
The food was really good but the servers seem lost and confused, the vibe was just off. Not sure how they rate at 4.8
Excellent service highly recommended
The food is very very delicious, the concept they have is good and pleasant. Kid-friendliness: Yeah
Beautifully decorated. The food is tasty and the drinks are well presented. I highly recommend La Nayarita. I had the sopes, michelada and churros.
Beautiful place, nice food, real Mexican taste, ten of a ten
Delicious seviche, carne asada and cocktails.
la nayarita is a gem! excellent food and service. their enchiladas is a must try
Food and drinks are decent. Tuesday taco deal is good. Service was pretty slow though. Definitely doesn t live up to 4.8 rating though - they have a giveaway if you do a review so skews it up a bit.
Got the birria broth bowl with marinated beef served with tortillas and it was delicious and filling. The guava cheesecake with torched meringue and their xmas holiday drink of whisky cocktail was also excellent.
Very nice. Everything was amazing and the Service was great! We had a great evening! Thank you!
Love this place. We keep coming back for the wonderful service and Tuesday taco deal. Our server, Mayu was lovely and very attentive. Great food, great staff! We ll be back next week for sure!
We stumbled across this restaurant in an effort to get into one with long line ups. We are very glad we did. This seemed owner operated. The place was gorgeous, they had a live sax player on Sat eve, the food selection was plenty and everyone s food was yummy. The drinks were amazing. We will go back for sure. Vegetarian options: I had the rajello and it was great. They had atleast 3 other veg dishes.
The food was delicious and the service was amazing!
Great food and very nice atmosphere! Owner is very kind as well
Great authentic Mexican. Place was packed (pre Christmas) but service was fast and friendly
What a great restaurant! We were a group of 12, served by Ivan. There was really friendly service and awesome food; two in the group had to leave early, so they made sure their food was out of the kitchen first. All the dishes were tasty and the cocktails good too.
What a surprise to find La Nayarita packed at 2:30pm, but after we got our food it was clear why. We had a beef quesadilla, quesabirria and pozole. Everything was delicious -- the best Mexican we have ever had.
Was wonderful!
Come on Tuesday! Tacos are 2 for $5, if you order a drink. Food is solid. We had three kinds of tacos pastor, asada and Gobernador (shrimp). Also the chicken mole, which was nice, and the Aguachile (shrimp ceviche served in a traditional mortar dish). The margaritas were excellent dried rose leaves (and a hint of rose liquor?) were a nice surprise. The chocoflan dessert is a rich chocolate cake, with a crème caramel on top like a thick icing. Service was very friendly. All around, definitely recommend. PS book on OpenTable. They ask for a credit card to hold the table (no-show fee), and it s much easier on OpenTable than over the phone.
Really great spicy marg & lovely pastor tacos<3
I stumbled upon this magical little spot. Wow. I almost want to keep it a secret how wonderful this place is. The vibe, atmosphere , lighting, food, service. Wow!
Food was amazing, vibes , service was great. Arturo was accommodating. I would come back again

beautiful, great food and great atmosphere. Had awesome enchiladas. Pricing is reasonable for the food! Also Arturo is awesome.
awesome experience!! service, food, and atmosphere 10/10. Arturo was a great server!
Was a party of 7 on the back patio and it was lovely! The food and service were fantastic, would totally recommend :)
Delicious food and cocktails, great options on the menu. Our waiter Alexis was awesome. Great atmosphere. We will be back. Vegetarian options: Had some yummy vegetarian sopes. The in house made desserts were delicious. Loved the tres leches and guava cheesecake.
Very delicious, we will return.
I m very glad I came for dinner with my friends for a girls night. The food was very flavourful and although I never been to Mexico tastes authentic and made from scratch to me. The portions are a little smaller so I d recommend you include an appetizer or desert but each one of us enjoyed our plates and we each ordered something different. The pitcher of margarita was also divine, it tasted verrry good and the pitcher is super big. For reference, there was three of us and we each had two glasses filled to the rim. I d definitely recommend this place if you love Mexican food and you re in the area or include it in your plan when you go party in the city or shopping in the city.
The food is very delicious. The place is impeccable. The attention is excellent. Its a very good place to hang out.
We stopped by for dinner and we were really surprised by the attention and the service. Alexis provided an amazing service. In general, the whole service was great, We were really happy with the experience, we will come back for sure. This is a must try, will not disappoint!
I had a good time at La Nayarita. This is my first time going there. Their service and food were remarkable. The phrase: mi casa es su casa comes alive as soon as you set foot in the restaurant.
Great food, great staff, great night
Vegetarian options: The food was great! They had so many options for everyone and the birthday celebration was amazing Food
Ivan is the best!
Iván it s the best
10/10. Shoutout to Arrturo for the amazing service. Highly recommend. Thanks everyone!
Really good experience good food and I really recommend this place
Awesome vibe and food! highly recommend! :) Dietary restrictions: Dog friendly patio available! Food : 5/5 |
Went there for dinner yesterday and it was simply lovely. The atmosphere is nice and cozy while also having background mexican music. I had the quesabirria tacos which were fantastic and although they looked small, were very satisfying and filling. The service was great as well as they would come to refill my water probably 6 times which I liked and the food came pretty quick. Yet, the cherry on top, and I dont know if it was because it was the day of the dead, but a guy came in with a sombrero and a suitcase which confused our table, but 15 minutes later he randomly burst into song and it was amazing. That guy was the undoubted aura king, it made the experience. This place is a must try if your nearby and very walkable if youre coming from BMO field like we did.
One of the best Mexican restaurants in Toronto! The food is amazing and the vibe is joyful. There are many options of traditional and classic Mexican cuisines. They are affordable and in good portion, so you can share and try many different flavours. Staff are super friendly too.
Excellent fresh and authentic flavors, very good cocktails and service of 10. Thank you
Super friendly server Arturo, great recommendations and made every accommodation we requested. We will definitely be back!
So good! Authentic, kind service. Delicious!
Food was delicious, some of the best in the city. Arturo was awesome. We had a great time!
Been meaning to try this place for a while. We miss Sayulita , Mexico and this is definitely the closest thing to eating there, great food and service !
This restaurant is excellent and have accommodated our large parties and last minute reservations. The food is great and the service is excellent!
Used to love this place, but the portion sizes have become smaller (I love their enmoladas, but they removed 25% of the food from the plate and kept the price the same) and they charged me $17 for a rum and coke earlier today, which really rubs me the wrong way. The food itself is great.
Excellent food and desserts! Taiyarl (Guava Cheesecake) is a must try. Vegetarian options: Berenjena Brava is a really good vegetarian main option, along with the cheese enchiladas. Food : 5/5 |
Had dinner at the bar with my friend- we had quesabirria and baja fish tacos, spicy margaritas and truffles fries- everything was delicious Our server Arturo was fantastic, lots of great recommendations and was very kind- we will be back soon!!
Great food, ambience, and service. The quesadilla and enchiladas were very tasty. Loved the strawberry bulldog.
It was that good!
Awesome service and great hospitality! Food was good too.
The service was amazing! My meal was spicy and the waiter found a way to make it not spicy and made the dinner amazing! Kid-friendliness: Great!
Food and drinks were amazing, lovely craftsmanship for the cocktails. Arturo was a wonderful server. Margarita La Nayarita was excellent. Thank you.
I love it, I spent my birthday here, it is the best in service, Arturo as a waiter is the most attentive and friendly and Alexis with the best cocktail drinks in Toronto recommended 100%
Moni, Mayu and Arturo thank you very much, everyone is very kind and attentive, your service is first class!! Phew where to start? The food is the best, the pozole is my favorite, the birria yummmi yummmi, the quesabirrias dont even say so, the guacamole, the Food brings the flavor of our to Mexico. Without a doubt it is a place that you should have on your favorites list, it is more than recommended! Every time you want to try something with Mexican Taste come to La Nayarita, you will find great service, the best Mexican food of Toronto, the portion of every meal is more than enough for one person and you will be satisfied with what you pay for your food, a good thing is that you will not feel at that in the end you waste your money because truly the taste of the food is Amazing, friend you have to try!!! For sure you have order a Michelada with a Molcajete pufff, it is excellent!!
Went with a big group. Service was great and food even better! Thank you!
Good food, nice people and service!
Had a great meal! Celebrated my daughter s 19th birthday and they pulled out all the stops to make it fun and special.
The vibes were super chill, and the food was amazing. I got the birria tacos, and they were full of flavor. So delicious and so juicy. One of the best meals I ve had. The tres leches cake for dessert was spot on sweet and light. It was genuinely one of the most delicious cakes I ve had. The service was really friendly too. Definitely worth checking out!
Great food and great service!
Do yourself a favor and come eat and have a couple drinks here, you can thank me later!
Patio is sooo cute!
Super nice experience, highly recommended!
Amazing food and great service. Arturo was really attentive. I especially liked the drinks selection :)
Was beautiful. Good was amazing. Drinks were unique and mouthwatering Vegetarian options: There were many vegetarian options Food : 5/5 |
Guys! This is a must. Good food, good drinks and the server is spicy ;)
Food is truly Mexican flavor (Mexican here) we have come 3 times now, and the flavor is just amazing, Alexis was very nice with us. I dont think you can go wrong with anything you order. This time, we ordered the Molcajete Cielo Mar y Tierra, and it was incredible. Plus, the price seems more than fair to me. Weve eaten at more expensive restaurants, and the flavor doesnt compare. Congratulations, keep it up!
Amazing ambience, food was UNREAL. The guac, house made hot sauce and quessabiria tacos were next level delicious. Andres behind the bar was incredible as well.
Best tacos I ve had in a very long time. Great atmosphere. And Andre s was an awesome bar tender. Highly recommend.
Both nice and good. Mostly nice but also very good.
Andres is a great bartender. He is very welcoming and cool. He is my new best friend.
Had margaritas and tacos on Tuesday. Great meal really friendly staff and warm atmosphere
Delicious !!!
Food was amazing as always. Service was impeccable and could not ask for more
It is very pretty and the food is very delicious!
One of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in Toronto. Everything is handmade on site and fresh. Margs are very very good!

From the moment we walked in we felt transported to Mexico. Delicious food, great service, and authentic live entertainment. It feels like a warm up for a trip to Mexico !
Amazing meal, service and the space is beautiful.
Food is really delicious. Had the quesabirra tacos, coffee is amazing and service was 10/10. Totally underrated place. Very cute back patio as well.

Amazing spot. Was with friends and the service was epic
Alexis served me and my friends so well.
Our waiter, Alexis was wonderful!

Great food and great ambience! We were a huge group having lunch together and the servers were very attentive to each and every one of us! Great spot for Mexican food.
The tripe tacos are recommended
A pleasant experience. The service and delivery of the dishes are very efficient. The staff is very attentive. The food is very good, you can see that they prepare each dish with detail and the flavor is impressive. Now one of my favorite restaurants to visit.
A nice, clean and very delicious place the service was very good, I ordered some delicious enmoladas, my favorites.
Loved this restaurant! Service was very friendly. Food was great. I had to buy a little jar of their spicy salsa because it was too good. Hoping to try their brunch at some point!
We arrived early and were the only people in the restaurant. The drinks and food far exceeded expectations and was delicious. 8 year old, 15 year old and 3 adults devoured all the food. Kid-friendliness: Nothing too spicey. Kids loved the guacamole. 15 year old said one of the best burritos he s ever had.
Food was delicious! Service was very good!! We all had a great time!
The food is fresh and full of flavour, and the atmosphere is warm and lively. Their Spicy Paloma is delicious perfectly balanced with a kick of spice. And if you re at the bar, ask for Andres, he s the best!! Vegetarian options: Lots of options
Great environment and fun time celebrating my friends birthdays. The servers came out with a birthday cake and a small band - made a great environment for us
Had an amazing dinner here and got a great deal on taco Tuesday. Arturo took great care of us!
Amazing food, service and athosphere! Will return again!
Great place with amazing food. Alexis was such a sweetheart. He made wonderful recommendations :)
Really enjoyed our time here tonight! The staff are so friendly and the food and drinks were great. Ended up having two pitchers of margaritas, a few apps, two mains and the churros. Definitely will be coming back.
Fabulous chorizo queso , drinks, and Birria tacos !!!
Alexis was so attentive and gave such great service, the food was phenomenal as well as the drinks! Everything seemed to have had so much thought out into it, made with such love and care!!! Definitely check them out!!
Great food and good environment!
Delicious homemade food at this restaurant! The mole sauce is creamy and has a unique taste. Server said they take 3 days to make it. Food was freshly made and totally worth it!
Wonderful spot for delicious food. Atmosphere was very lively yet still intimate. Severs were kind and attentive. Would highly recommend visiting
Don t go here! Came on my birthday with family. Didn t tell them it was my birthday. The food was mediocre and they mixed up my veg enchiladas with my brother s chicken. We both double checked with them when they brought the food and they still got it wrong. So after 5 years of not eating meat and now accidentally eating chicken I decided to mention it to them and they asked me what they could do. I was pretty upset and said idk give me a margarita maybe. Server talked to the manager for a few minutes and came back saying he can only offer me a soda I said no thats fine and left. As a vegetarian, to eat chicken on my birthday was pretty upsetting. Also portions were small! They have a bowl of salsa with like 9 tortilla chips. Who does that???!
Fantastic place. Great birria tacos, ceviche and corn soup. The live music was awesome.
Excellent authentic Mexican food! Highly recommended!
Beautiful restaurant, ambiance very close to liberty village. Service is amazing with very friendly staff. Food is absolutely delicious and well priced! Recommended dishes: Molcajete Cielo Mar Y Tierra Chiles en Nogada
Delicious food, great service, highly recommend!!!
I am not sure why this place has a 4.7 rating. The food was okay, the service was also okay, but the price is a little ridiculous? Maybe it s because everything is just expensive now, but paying $20 for 3 tiny tacos that were just okay and constantly having to ask for more chips and water was frustrating. It was not an overall bad experience, but I would not come here again.
Great food great vibes
Four of us had a great time at this restaurant on Sunday night. The service was excellent and the food was flavorful with as much spice as one could handle! As other reviewers have noted, birthdays are a big deal here! This contributes to a warm family atmosphere that provides an oasis in the big city.
Arrived at 5:30 and it was quiet but the secret garden was soooo cute and super comfy. The $5 for 2 tacos were a great deal! We tried all 4, fish, shrimp, pork and beef. The pork pastor with pineapple was outstanding. The Baja fish and Baja shrimp were also better than most tacos I ve had lately.
Definitely recommend coming for a birthday !
Some of the best Mexican food I have had since being in Mexico, the ceviche was the best I ve ever had .
Excellent place and service. Food that really tastes like Mexico!
The place is very nice and the service is excellent.
Delicious!! Parking: Highly recommend ! !! Food : 5/5 |
The authenticity and quality of the food was as impeccable as the professional service. Fresh ingredients, live music, and fun atmosphere. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to a night here.
Very accommodating, they opened early for our group! Excellent service, food and drinks! Vegetarian options: There s a veggie menu!
Amazing staff and food!!
5 stars all around! We visited last night after making a reservation at a restaurant nearby for my mom s birthday. We really weren t feeling the vibe or atmosphere so decided to walk around and that s when we stumbled upon La Nayarita! Best decision ever! They have a cute & comfy garden area in the back with comfy chairs and GREAT music. The food is impeccable! We had the cielo mar y Tierra in a Molcajete, Birria, Coconut Shrimp and a delicious cheesy chorizo dish. Compliments to the chef! (We also purchased ceviche and tacos al pastor that we took home with us) We tried cactus for the first time! Our servers were very attentive as well. They also have a happy hour we didn t know about until we arrived. Perfect !! We ordered margaritas (I recommend the Guava one) with some Modelos. I casually mentioned that it was my moms birthday when we came through the door. When we were about to leave, the staff came out singing happy birthday with clappers, a tequila shot, and a delicious slice of chocolate cake! They also put a sombrero on her. She was so surprised and happy with this experience! We really appreciate the service all around and will definitely be back. I wish I received their names. One server was a young man with curly hair. The main one was a gentleman that was very muscular. The portions are large, price is reasonable for the quality of the food. Thank you so much for making my mom s birthday special. Vegetarian options: I noticed a vegetarian menu at the end that looked pretty good so there s something for everyone
Absolutely delicious authentic Mexican food. Service is amazing and the place has a great vibe. Definitely will be back.
Arturo took great care of my date and I. Amazing atmosphere and every course was delicious and well presented. The margs are to die for. Highly recommend the tamarindo margarita
Excellent service, atmosphere, and food
