TACO-BAR
Delicious tacos on Dundas Street West. The service was quick with our server checking in multiple times. The atmosphere is great with lots of decorations and moody light. The real star were the tacos. We got the shrimp tacos and the grilled cactus tacos and they were both delicious. They are served in a double corn tortilla which makes it more filling. The flavours were well seasoned and perfectly cooked. We also got margaritas which were yummy as well. Good place to go for your Mexican fix!
Rly great authentic tacos. Was grabbing an early dinner and by the time we left every table was full. Yum
Happened upon Pinata Tacos today and was blown away. Staff were sooooo friendly and the food was amazing. Chips and guac is definitely a shareable and the Pastor tacos were overflowing with meat and toppings. Absolutely delicious.
I don’t even know where to start I’m pretty sure this review is going to fall on deaf ears unfortunately!! Our evening at piñata tacos for starters I’ve been coming to your restaurant for yearssss from going to Luna next door and having your tacos after! and I understand when you guys get swapped it’s a longer wait. However Tonight me and my wife waited for an hour for our 3 tacos and 1 quesadilla that the waitress charged me for 2 quesadillas and I noticed this on my receipt when I got home. I even confirmed my I ordered my meal along with WELL DONE quesadilla with the waitress she said yes. She then proceeded to asked me how we would like it. Me and my wife requested it mild but it came out spicy. The waitress didn’t give TWO FUQS she basically told me and my wife it was mild and that we were in the wrong as if we haven’t eaten at your restaurant before! No apology was even said for this ordeal just the apology of waiting an hour for dinner. She then asked the cook to redo our quesadilla and take a look at the pics is it WELL DONE no it’s not. Im just upset me and my wife just wanted to go out like many people in Toronto to enjoy salsa on st.Clair and we wanted to end the night with amazing service and tacos and just got the opposite. Thank you for the amazing years but tonight was my last. Wish you guys the best!
Looking for the best taco spot in the city? Stop right here, this is the place I randomly found this place when a friend and I were looking for a local Taco Tuesday option. 4.8 stars with 800+ reviews says all you need to know. I've been back countless times, brought friends, brought dates, I've gotten every single person I have brought here hooked on it. Yeah, this is THE spot you've been looking for. Enjoy!
My favorite taco that I enjoyed was the gobernador. The shrimp with the melted cheese was amazing. Every other taco here is just as good, and you can't go wrong. Great place for a late night snack with business hours open late.
Since our old Taco restaurant closed we have searched for a good alternative and finally found it at Piñata Tacos. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with lively music that doesn’t overwhelm conversation. The service is quick and friendly and seems like the kitchen works in lockstep with the front of the house. We had a variety of different tacos; each absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying them out. You won’t be disappointed.
A definite must-have if you're craving Mexican cuisine. The restaurant was clean and with intimate seating. You can also order online or come in and take it out. Our server was very polite and courteous. She answered all of our questions and also made some great suggestions when ordering. The food and service were excellent. Everything tasted amazing and the birria can be eaten with everything (in my opinion lol) Great portions for sharing too. I had leftovers and it was great the next day too. I'll be back to try other items on the menu.
I ve been there a several times but today it s probably my last unfortunately :( We wanted the chilaquiles and the server said we needed to wait for an extra 20 min which we did, however he seem upset about it not sure why? Food was ok but I give 2 stars because of the server was very very rude and had an attitude every time we asked or ordered something. I ve always had a good experience here but today was awful.
Excellent service! Excellent food!
Great and fast service plus very fresh and delicious food
Open till late, we enjoyed a bite at 1:00 am after a night out, it was sooo amazing! We loved the flavours and the vibes! Hit this spot!!!
Overpriced and not very authentic Mexican restaurant. 1. The pricing is very steep. When I lived in NYC which has fantastic Mexican food, a taco was $5 USD. Here every taco is $7.50 CAD 2. No complimentary salsa. Ive never been to a Mexican restaurant where you dont get salsas to pour over your tacos. In fact usually every table usually would have a salsa holder with three salsas. Thats half the experience. The tacos here are dry or pre loaded with the house sauce. 7.50CAD tacos. Are you trying to save $$ on salsa bro? The clientele here too are mostly bougie white hipsters.. which for me speaks to the authenticity and honesty of the place. All in all, the food and ambience are certainly not.. bad, and if the prices werent this steep I wouldnt have cared enough to share this feedback. If you want authentic Mexican food I found a couple directly north on Bloor. If this feedback is considered, Id probably be back!
Bartender was super nice. Food was really good. Great options for both food and drink
Great food, fantastic birria consume, one of the best Ive ever had. Server was friendly and attentive. Def a great hidden duwest gem.
Excellent tacos and margaritas! Try the Quesabirria for sure. Nice part of town.
Get the birria, thank me later.
I love their fish tacos omg. 10/10 overall.
Just had an amazing meal with my son. He said this is the best Mexican restaurant I ve ever been to! The steak was tender, the quesabirria was awesome and the shrimp was perfect. Plus 10 dollar happy hour cocktail!
THE BEST MIRACLES EVER!!! Dont even bother going anywhere else - between the people who work here and the food they make - never have I been disappointed, even with delivery!!!
Very good tacos, my favorite Quesadilla de Cochinita and the cochinita tacos, excellent flavor and portion, the nopalitos with tortilla chips, an excellent snack and you can accompany them with a good beer. Definitely to go often Very good tacos, my favorite Cochinita Quesadilla and cochinita tacos, excellent flavor and portion, nopalitos with totopos excellent snack and you can enjoy them with a good beer. Definitely to be followed
Tasty authentic tacos
This taco place is awesome.
Literally the best Mexican I have ever had!! Had the birria quesadilla the flavours were unreal and the portion size is very generous for the price!
Stopped in for a quick bite, definitely planning to go back!
This is probably the worst mexican restaurant Ive been to, terrible service, sticky tables and the food is pretty bad. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else
Tacos were amazing!
As an Angelino visiting Toronto, this place is very tasty. Quesibirria is delicious!
This place is BOMB. It might be a little expensive compared to your average taco joint but I promise its worth your money
tasty quesadillas and guac. service was great and the atmosphere is a vibe, the playlist and the lights add everything to the experience.
This place has the worst food overrated actually made me feel sick! I m Mexican been to many places including back home this place is more using the Mexican name than authentic Mexican food! These are nothing more than cheap wraps from the supermarket! Done waste your money!
Great tacos! Especially the gobernador. Special!
When you arrive at the restaurant you feel at home. All the staff is friendly, the food and sauces are 10! The best Michela made by JASIEL!!
The burrito was not good, but I am very grateful there was vegetarian options so thank you for that. However, not a vegetarian in the world prefers a tofu or cactus burrito over a bean and rice burrito. Is it even Mexican food without beans and rice? I do not think so.
The best place to eat something very 100% Mexican Be sure to try the micheladas, they are a 10 out of 10
Open late till 2 am on the weekends! Chill spot on Dundas - tried their Baja fish and shrimp tacos, both are tasty.
Worts Mexican food worst attention and terrible cocktails
The tacos are very delicious, but the drinks and customer service are poor, I only recommend ordering something to eat but to take away
Terrible service from the girl who serves, the drinks are terrible!
Natural service and a killer taco
Best Tacos in GTA. For sure.
Had to write a review solely based off the experience from taco fest alone. Great service and even better food. I never had a birria taco without the consume before and honestly this place really knocked it out of the park. I also had the Baja shrimp and that was also really good! Was the best tacos I had the whole fest. The lady who took our order was super nice and sweet, and very helpful. I am looking forward to coming to the restraunt.
Best tacos in the city! Good vibes, great staff. Definitely coming back :)
Great burritos, packed with protein and overall fresh ingredients! Amazing service
I have come here many times over the course of a year, and the food is amazing. I love the chicken tacos, and their fish tacos. Food : 5/5
Delicious
I went on vacation a year ago and visited this place, the service and the seasoning at that time was great.... A couple of days ago I returned and everything has changed for the worse, the seasoning is no longer the same but the most unpleasant thing is the service and customer service... The manager in charge leaves a lot to be desired, not at all helpful and provides poor service...
The service is terrible, I dont recommend it at all, everything arrives cold
The best tacos in Town, the servicio is incredible and a ver cozy place for have lunch and dinner too. Definitly ill be back for the quesabirria and fish tacos. Thank you so much.
I love it, I congratulate the chefs of the place, it is the closest thing to being in Mexico!! Super recommended, you wont regret it!
The atmosphere is great, on the weekends it gets cool, an atmosphere full of music, good food and excellent drinks, the service 10/10, thanks guys
I love the micheladas, they are the best there Vegetarian options: Cactus tacos or quesadillas are my favorites
Ive been twice First time was at lunch and was quite great Tried again last night and wasnt thrilled. The tacos were good, not great, it took quite a long time to get our drinks, and the music was unbearably loud. Well definitely be back because our first trip was great, but well aim for lunch,instead of dinner.
A place that feels very Mexican very delicious food, pleasant atmosphere and excellent service from the employees towards the diner, I recommend this place if you are looking to enjoy some good taquitos
Excellent food, drinks and service, very friendly staff and the taste is Mexican from start to finish
The food and service 100/10 I ve been twice and I wanna go again jajaj I love the fish tacos
Good tacos, great service, nice patio
Best burrito Ive ever had by far! The vibes in general are absolutely immaculate also!
I live 40min out of the city, and any time I m craving a taco this is my go to place! Their fish tacos are absolutely amazing!
The service was good. The atmosphere is not bad. The food is overpriced for the quality. The meat on half the tacos we ordered was dried and overcooked. The half that was properly cooked tasted good but not $7 for a taco good. The horchata was good, the salsa portions were skimpy. We ordered some churros that were hard as a rock (overcooked). Overall I ll have to consider other places next time I m craving tacos.
I ordered the quesabirra and it was very tasty. I enjoyed the environment, it s a small restaurant but it is fun. Also food is very affordable
I ordered the tofu taco and it was *amazing*. I ve never had tofu on a taco and it was so good! My only regret was not buying more tacos! Vegetarian options: They had cactus and tofu options. I went with tofu taco and it was delicious!
Such a great spot and always consistent. It s become a place friends and I go to regularly now and the cozy vibes, music and food always hit the spot. I reallt enjoyed the grilled shrimp tacos. Affordable and easy to access by transit and great spot in the Dundas west neighbourhood.
Best tacos I ever had! The birria is divine and so flavorful, and the staff were so kind and accommodating.
Tacos were tasty (Birria!). Didnt love the shrimp but it held alot of flavor. Vibes were good in there
We had taco and wasn t given any sauce. Food was so dry and hard to swallow for $25
Really tasty tacos !! I tried Carnita, Pibil and Birria.
The burritos are always amazing! The owner is kind and welcoming! Tonight my husband and I decided to try a Quesabirria, 100% recommend! I did not want to share after the first bite, I was shaking it was SOOOO GOOD!!! We decided this year to never eat the big fast food chains ever again and I am so happy that we did! The portions are bigger, the flavour is 100% better and the atmosphere is welcoming!! Eat the food, I promise that you ll love it! (No picture food was consumed quickly)
2/5* Dive bar look which is fine. But in the daylight eating food its a bit grimey. The chicken and steak burrito are good. I do not like how they serve them. They cut them in half but do not wrap them. So your eating them and they sort of start to fall apart. The guac had no flavor and was not fresh. The chips were not seasoned. Seriously a big issue. Its not a bad place but there is no reason to go here given the choices in the city. Server was very nice. The burritos would be acceptable if they where wrapped. But the chips and guac was so bad for a taco place. The guac was one of the worst restaurant guacs I have ever had.
Thanks Jaciel for your help! We have a blast!, excellent chilaquiles verses al pastor!
Best Mexican restaurant in Toronto! I love this place. The food is amazing and the staff is super friendly.
Tasty tacos. Not super friendly or welcoming. Asked to sit on the patio, it was full, no problem at all. Tried asking how long the wait is, can we choose to wait or take a walk and come back - and generally made to feel like a nuisance/irritation. To be clear - obviously it s completely reasonable if the answer is no, it s full, and we have no idea when it ll open up . However saying it politely, without making your client feel badly, is sort of the bare minimum. Tacos were tasty! But can t say if I d be back - Toronto is full of delicious food without the attitude!
Amazing food and location! Beautiful wall art as well!
Authentic Mexican cuisine and amazing service. Food tastes better when it is cooked and served with love, shout out to the crew. The best Chicken Quesadillas in Toronto.
Small place that makes solid tacos and burritos. Service was very quick for being packed on a Saturday night around 7. By the time we left at 8 the place cleared out.
Best tacos in the city
Fast, friendly, efficient service. Wholesale delicious meal, which was made with lots of love and care. Highly recommended.
Just an amazing gem with my favorite nachos. Fresh fried chips stay crunchy and every layer is so flavourful and balanced. Also probably my favorite mezcalita in the city and my partner said his fish taco was probably one of the best he s ever had. Even though he just got back from Mexico City!
Authentic Latino cuisine and heart of Toronto
The tacos are good but nothing great. The churros were rock hard & inedible. Pretty expensive place & I don t think it translates into the quality of food unfortunately.
Ordered pick up. Seems like a nice place. Good atmosphere. Great service. Serves alcohol. Very average tacos for the same price as the best in the city. Wont go again.
the best tacos I have ever eaten in my life!! Torontos best
Nice place, fresh and delicious tacos! Boho fish is my fav must try for amazing tacos in Toronto!
The best fish quesadilla in the city.

Every time I ve been there I ve had an issue with my order and it seems to be done on purpose. I won t be going back.
Really good tacos and were open late
without a doubt the best Mexican food They are very kind when serving you everything very delicious I love it whenever I can I come back for my quesabirrias I highly recommend this place
Stumbled in on a random Friday night and not only was the server very friendly and knowledgeable, the food was outstanding. Will definitely return for more of those delicious ...
Best mexican place ever and the customer service is exceptional. I strongly recommend this place
When mid afternoon. Staff was friendly and great service. Food was excellent. Fresh, authentic and delicious. Will be back!
We were excited to try this place but left feeling underwhelmed. It was also pricy for the quality and quantity. We were a group of 4 and didn t order that much food. The tacos arrived lukewarm rather than hot. We tried a bunch of flavours and none were memorable. The guacamole was good. Drinks were also just okay but overpriced for what they were.
delicious !!. I will be back soon.
Amazing food and service! Super recommended
Ate in and had about three tacos a person, all were good but nothing spectacular. I asked for my tacos mild as I m a bit spice sensitive and found they were lacking flavour which was a disappointment. With the tacos being $7 a piece we found it much too expensive as well.
I went here recently with a friend and we loved it. It s such good value of food for the price and we enjoyed some tacos and a drink and everything was delicious ! The servers checked in on us throughout our time and the atmosphere was fun and lively. Definitely plan to go back !
Wow! This has got to be one of the best Taco experiences Ive had in some time. Hands down best tortillas; fresh flavours, good heat. Outstanding friendly and personable service. Highly recommend.
OMG I am very picky with Mexican food but this place reminds me of homemade Mexican food and the staff is so friendly. Recommend!!!
Delicious baja fish taco!
Awesome delicious tacos and burritos here! Well seasoned and tasty. Just note that their hot sauce is the real deal, super careful! The only thing that wasn t good was their portion size, even the burritos were small.
After reading the reviews I was so excited to eat here, and while the food was good I wasn t blown away. The cactus and chips was ok, the baja fish had too much breading (for personal preference), and the the birria taco was on the dry side even with the dip. Horchata was delicious. Also, the first water glass I had was dirty so I asked for a replacement and that glass wasn t clean either not a terrible experience but certainly not my favourite taco spot in the city.
Super cute place! I got the cactus and tofu tacos and they were delicious, will be back for more :) Vegetarian options: Cactus and Tofu tacos, tofu were my fav
Amazing food with truly homemade Mexican flavours, lots of variety in their menu, and the stuff of kind, friendly, and very professional. Great service and delicious food, highly recommended. Vegetarian options: Their guac is delicious, nopales very nutritious, quesadillas are delicious Dietary restrictions: They have many options to try, nopales it s always healthy, unique, vegan Kid-friendliness: The stuff always accommodates for big groups with kids
Whenever I think about their tortas I drool. It is just that good - Carnitas, Pastor, Baja fish and shrimp are all incredible. I adore this place.
Great food. Great service!
The Baja taco was amazing! :) Crispy and lots of filling! The horchata was excellent as well!
Wow! Flavour is so delicious here. Never had a chicken quesadilla this good! Everything made fresh to order and friendly service. Im giving up making tacos at home and coming here from now on
Really great service! The food was amazing! A really cute and quaint authentic restaurant. PS....the Margarita is strong and delightful! Ill definitely come back!
Literally so good, food is amazing. Customer service is great. Everyone that works there is very nice. Spent new years there and had a blast :)
Loved the vibe perfect after a long, tiring week.
It is a blessing to live and work near this place 10/10
Randomly wandered in after a show across the street for a quick bite - as it is open quite late. The Tacos were excellent! Quesobirria and the Gobernador Taco was great as well. Cant wait to come back and try a bunch more.
Came in for a bite after seeing a show across the street and couldn t be happier I did. I had the Quesabirria and the Gobernador tacos, both were delicious and on par to what I ve eaten in México. The atmosphere is super fun, love the decor and music. So happy to have an option for authentic tacos and such high quality option for food late at night.
Chips and guacamole is to die for.
Food
Pinata Tacos got off to a good start, but after a few years the quality, portion-size, and prices have plummeted. Its really disappointing as I would be a frequent customer.. but now the ingredients seem cheaper and less fresh. I bought a burrito just now and it was tiny... nearly 20 dollars for tiny burrito. Wish they could go back to the business model of sell affordably and sell a lot. What a shame.
Everything about this place is lovely. The food is hearty, the service is great and overall just a good small place to get some good tacos. I didnt know what a Henchata was so they gave me a free shot of it to try. So nice. I personally got the Birria Burrito and it was juicy and flavorful. Definitely recommend
Peng food & very nice
An authentic Mexican restaurant, the only problem I see is that they do not give you water but you have to buy a drink or otherwise pay for the water, the flavors of the food are very delicious and extremely recommended.
I LOVE this taco place. The tacos are authentic and its so hard to find good Mexican food in Toronto! The horchata is also off the charts. Get the fish tacos and the guac and chips and also the quesabirria. I order from UberEats all the time and I also have gone several times. Their food is always impeccable and has impressed many of my friends! The restaurant is super cute and the owner is so friendly. We had the slightest of delays in taking our orders once and she gave us the guac and chips for free to apologize. It was v sweet! Highly recommend supporting them.
