I got duped! I ordered a bowl...and I got just that a bowl of lettuce. They totally skimped out on the protein no cheese different beans than were listed on menu and JUST A BUNCH OF LETTUCE. Very disappointing to get a bunch of lettuce when expecting a bowl of scrumptious ingredients. Not recommended.

Great little taco spot in midtown. I inhaled the beef taco, that’s how good it was. Highly recommend

Nice people making good food! It’s not 5 star because nothing stood out and I was in for $50 for 2 burritos and a pop.

Our little taco stand... We.tried the pork burrito combo with sangria flavored pop And the ceviche♡♡♡ as an entree loved it could have been bigger♡ could have had as a main...fresh marinated fish...yummy crisp flavors☆ We also tried the Baja fish, chicken tinga and beef Barbados And a classic mojito♡♡♡ All great, a little more Than what we'd expect for Mexican food but overall very good...

I was been here twice times come and totally love their food!!!! So delicious with a juicy flavour, not too salty and tastes so good. Their Margarita absolutely can't complain then. Good decorated cup and so good too - a little bit of salt and sweetness like having juice in there mixed with alcohol tasted! 1st the time I came they had a portion for 2 pcs, but the last time I came they made 3pc portion. I hope they will have back options for 2 ones/ dish. The last time, I came with a starving stomach so that I could easily finish all. But if as usual I couldn't eat all and had to wrap one to go (but I know for sure tacos will not be good anymore if brought home) A good place to fill your stomach with delicious Tacos, but if you expect a gorgeous and big dine-in place maybe you must be aware that this is not the one you looking for. Anyway, deserve to try! And a good place to come and experience good tacos and Margarita cocktails glass ☺️

Good service and tasty food. Fish tacos were good but would have been better with some pickled veggies instead of all fresh. The cauliflower and mango ceviche had great fresh and acidic flavour. We liked the beef burrito better than the pork tacos.

Spontaneously grabbed some tacos for lunch and we were lucky enough to find this cute shop, lots of humble family vibes, I got 3 tacos and paid less than 20$ for them which you will rarely find in Toronto these days. And they tasted great! A neat and clean set up inside, can't wait to see them set up for patio season tho

Worst taco I ve ever had. Tasteless and terrible food quality.

September 22, 2024

We got beef tacos which came in 3 pcs for $21 before tax. The taco was simply a disappointment. Very oily taco bread and no flavour. It was just a taco bread and beef inside with minimal to know onion and parsley. I do not recommend.

This is the best taqueria in Toronto. The tacos are flavorful, juicy, and just a bit spicy. And the portions are generous, and wrapped in two tacos, not just one. I drop by La Cladestina as often as I can because their tacos are fantastico!

★★★
August 22, 2024

Food took a bit to make for takeout, and the churros are great but the burrito bowl I got was pretty flavourless and watery, it was the chicken bowl. And it was pretty expensive. I think the churros is best part of this place but otherwise I didn t enjoy the food, maybe I need to try something different.

Perfectly cooked fish - a crisp and corny batter but the fish was still moist and flaky. A rare find. Tacos were full but stayed in the tortilla. Nice mezcal and horchata as well. Food

Dear Cladestina, I am very sad to write this review. You used to be my favourite place to go in all of Toronto. But ever since you have upgraded your menu your restaurant has lost it specialness. Your minimum order of three tacos is too many for me. Plus everything has gone kind of high end but not really. Just the price. I wish you would go back to your roots and just be a great taco stand and not a not so great restaurant. I miss you the old Cladestina. I used to go a few times a week 2 fish tacos 1 fabulous margarita in a plastic cup . It was amazing please bring it back

★★★★★
July 22, 2024

Taquitos were amazing. I asked them without the salsa though and I was there on Taco Tuesday. I had a margarita and a mexican coke + 3 taquitos (each one different) and I payed $50. Not the cheapest but it was decent. My favorite taquitos were tinga and cochinita Everyone there was so kind to us!

Tacos were decent. Staff was extremely rude, especially the cook behind the counter. She called me and my friends pendejos under her breath to her colleague on our way out for no reason at all - I guess because we are white she didn t think that we spoke Spanish or that we heard her. Muy malo

I rarely (i.e. never) leave bad reviews, especially for a smaller owned establishment but Ive given this place a try 2x now. The first was long ago and the food wasnt terrible but also not great no matter how much I wanted it to be. Ive come here tonight to report on the churros. We ordered two boxes to go and as soon as you bite into one, you automatically know that its an old stale churro that theyve just refried - it was THAT bad. Terrible to think the resto collected money for something so stale it should have been thrown out or given away for free. It was bad enough to ruin my evening and compel me to come online to write this review. My standards arent high when it comes to these types of restos but what I received tonight was simply insulting. Tacos Clandestina couldnt deliver on something so simple (deepfried flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon) a real shame..

We sit down, 15 mins later the waiter comes to take our order and says some stuff on the menu we dont have. She doesn t specify exactly what exactly they dont have so we can properly decide what to eat. She then takes our order and 10 mins later she comes back saying they are out of fish so we replace it with something else. 5 mins later another waiter comes back saying they are out of beef. What a mess. We have committed about 30 mins at the place only to know that the only option is chicken because we dont eat pork. We explain the waiter how inconvenient and ridiculous the service she says we have pork and chicken and when we reply saying that we dont eat pork.. she rudley replies i can cancel your order . We ended up cancelling our order and being forced to pay for drinks that had just been opened and a tastless guac and chips. Not coming back here again

This food was just bad and sloppy. This is not authentic at all its a watered down version. They couldn t even toast the tortilla, so it was rubbery. Nachos were so soggy. Didn t have any of the Ingredients as advertised. Ol del paso does a better job at replicating Mexican food than this place.

★★★★★

Great food. One of the most authentic Mexican Ive had in the city. Served traditional way with two torts. Pork and beef were so juicy. Fish quesadilla was stupendous and guacamole and salsa were fresh. Amazing bang for buck

We ordered 1 fish taco, 1 chicken taco and an order of beef barbacoa nachos. The food was great, the cheese on the nachos were a bit salty. Its shredded beef and I need that recipe. I will go back and try to figure it out. I ordered guacamole and it was made fresh and delicious. I took a bite of the fish taco. They added finely sliced cucumber and it really added a slight crunchiness and to the flavour of the taco. I didnt try the chicken taco but I was told the fish taco was the better tasting one. I cant wait to go back and order some fish tacos for myself. The location is small and clean. There are a couple of tables for 2, and 1 long table with about 8-10 chairs. Staff was pleasant. Overall great experience!

Amazing! Best margarita in Toronto. I don t review unless I really love the vibes and cuisine of a place. I had the baja fish burrito and it was GREAT! Very accommodating, even though there are only two people working in the whole restaurant. Definitely be prepared to possibly not get seating, as it is a little cozy space. But the food is just as great to go. Get a drink while you wait, and then walk off the calories. 10/10, 5 GOLD stars, love! Vegetarian options: Naked burrito salad looked super yummy

Average. Staff are friendly. The guacamole was more tomatoes than avocado, didnt look that appetizing so was a disappointment. Tortilla chips were like grocery store chips , the barbacoa, was fine, OK meat, not much in the dish, lettuce was fresh. . I was glad they had take- out margaritas. if they fixed the chips and guac I might go back.

Visited on a Thursday evening and greeted by friendly staff. There are tables at the back and also a wide counter bench seating groups. They plan on have tables outside soon. There is a comprehensive menu and the burrito I had was excellent and a sizable portion. Something different for me. I tried one of the tacos which was more Mexican than Tex-Mex, yet, the difference was enjoyable. The drinks menu is also sizable with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The staff were friendly. The prices were reasonable and the facilities clean.

★★★★
December 22, 2023

They have some great servers there with good personalities, and some of the food is pretty good from what Ive had, but 16$ for an average mojito is a bit much. Edit: Updated to 4/5 stars because of the response from the owner who explained to me that the cost of alcohol prices in Toronto are hard to keep cheap. However, I have still had Mojitoes and cocktails in the city for at least four dollars cheaper. Regardless of circumstances, its expensive, and whether thats the citys fault or the cost of living now, Im not sure. Still, I would like to highlight that the personality of the staff is great and they seem like great people.

Was walking by and had a hankering for some churros. It s $3.50 for a single churro and you can choose chocolate or caramel dipping sauce (the churro itself is not filled). Overall, the churro was a 4/5 but I knocked off a star for the price cause $3.50 for one churro is on the expensive side. Lady at the front was nice and courteous.

Hard to believe this place only has 4.1 stars. Only reason I can think of is that Toronto doesn t really understand or appreciate the culture of this place. The tacos are amazing, probably the best and most authentic you ll find. The whole place is super authentic. The cocktails are delicious. The patio is awesome. This place is a pure oasis and we love it very much.

we visited the place to drink something and asked for a few snacks, the most expensive ones I had in my life! We paid a lot for just a margarita, a soda and Guac and chips (an appetizer ) and the chips are the ones you can find in the supermarket. I will never visit this place again.

It was OK, not bad and not great. Cool street-cart vibes but full sit-down restaurant prices. $20 for a bowl that was mostly lettuce, surprisingly little rice and beans, which was too bad because it became very soupy at the bottom of the bowl without carbs to soak up the juices. We had pork and beef, both tasted OK, but not sure we feel like we got our moneys worth. Yea it was just very average, nothing special. Service was good though.

I lived across the street from this place and I have been going to taco stand on monthly basis since 2020. However it s 2023 different staffs and quality has dipped from 2020. The fish tacos are good along with the stew pork taco. I do agree on the pricing, it s inflated compared to other places. I recently stopped going there because on one visit they forgot to charge me on a Mexican coke. My next visit they added it on without telling me. I m okay with being charged at least let me know or remind when I m holding an infant in my arm. I just wish there was more transparency. Ofc a receipts would help from the start. The Places I ve been too if they make a mistake and they let it go. I guess they re hurting for money. It s good tacos but not as good as the ones in nyc ( my home ) or California.

My husband and I have been buying the fish burritos from this place for about two years now. We ve tried other items but the fish is our favourite. The food never disappoints and the burrito s portions are great. We crave these burritos regularly. So, why is one star knocked off? First, they close their kitchen approximately half an hour before closing time. I d be alright with that if the closing time wasn t 8pm on weekday Often enough, we have called this restaurant asking to place an order after a long day s work and we re refused. Second reason, the price. It seems like almost every time we go, the price goes up by a few dollars. So, we don t go as often anymore, but when we do it s really good food. Definitely worth a try.

December 22, 2022

I must say, I had high hopes for this place and unfortunately they came up short. So disappointed with the hot and guac , I tried all the hot sauces and none of them I would consider remotely hot. No lime was sent with anyone of the food, which is something I have never seen in Mexican cuisine. The guacamole had no flavour or anything really special about it. The taco s were lacking originality, and were smothered with mayonnaise. Didn t see cilantro on any of the food, and everything was in serious need of it (and salt and other spice). Was really looking forward to good Mexican food in the neighbourhood, and unfortunately I don t think this is it. I really hope they start using more traditional spices and ingredients, because if they do that this spot has serious potential. I must also add that if you do insist on eating here, ask for your own limes, and light on the sauce. Unless you want to bring a life preserver and go for a dip. Junction location, in case that wasn t obvious

They have a takeout window on Yonge and a (seasonal) patio right on the street (see photos). The menu given to me was dirty and stained. I ordered a fish taco and a chicken taco (each costing $5.54 including tax). The tacos are very small and each had two corn tortillas (probably as a gut fill since the tacos are small). The chicken taco had probably less than a spoon of thinly shredded chicken. Really a minimal amount of chicken The fish piece was also very small. Both tacos tasted mostly of the tortillas. Not a good value and I certainly did not find it a quality product. The patio seating in the photos was only available till October 2021. As of now, they only have 2 small tables with 2 bar- stools each on the sidewalk next to the curb.

Clandestina should be clandestine. Never have I had worse nachos and at a Mexican restaurant? How?? The small hair mixed into the sour cream wasn t even worth mentioning, since we weren t interested in eating them after a few bites anyway. The servers look like they hate their lives, just miserable - especially the men. We are on the patio and our food was given in to-go boxes with plastic cutlery. No plates. I had the fish tacos - the shell of the tacos had the oddest taste, though the contents were tasty. We were shocked when our $14 a glass Sangria arrived in the tiniest plastic cups, loaded with ice maybe 4oz? Needless to say, will not be returning. Do not recommend. Very disappointing.

Tried the beef barbacoa nachos and chicken naked burrito, and will definitely be coming back for the nachos! The burrito bowl was light and fresh, and hit the spot. Food was served fresh, quick, plenty of flavour and fairly priced.

Not sure how 2 tacos and tortilla chips with guac and salsa came to $35...but here I am. The guacamole is more than 50% tomatoe and nothing had any flavour. As someone who has eaten in Mexico and worked in a Mexican restaurant, I was very disappointed.

Weve been to Tacos Clandestina a couple of times now and its always been consistently really good! The service is relatively fast and friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes good Mexican food. They also have a street side patio now which is awesome for people watching in the Yonge and Eglinton area. Check them out!

**check your bills before paying here! I had originally given this place a 5 star but after my experience the other day Im bringing it down. Went back for their margarita Wednesdays and they had mistakenly added an additional drink on each of our bills. We told the manager to fix our bills since we had one less but he accused us of lying about our order. Now Im all for supporting small businesses but the managers attitude was unacceptable. Like why would we lie about how many drinks we had. We tried explaining that to him and even the other server that makes the cocktail agreed with us but the manager still treated us like we were liars. The worst part is the cocktail server apologized and the manager just kept mumbling on about how his system had x number in it. I definitely will not be going back as I dont spend my money with dishonest people. Anyways, just make sure you check your bills before paying for anything here because Im sure this is how they mistakenly add on to your bill.

I really liked the atmosphere and food, but I wish they dont touch the food with bare hands while they cook. One of the cashier guy touched the tortillas after he helped people with payments. I absolutely would love to visit again if this wont happen. (I really didnt want to write any negative review during this difficult time, but because this is the difficult time for all, I wish restaurants take a little more care of their hygiene and cleanliness.)

This place started off good in 2019 but has gone downhill since. Make the trek to Playa Cabana (Dupont), Kings Tacos (St Clair), or Seven Lives (Kensington Market) instead.

December 22, 2021

I ordered 2 churros, the guy asked me what sauce I wanted, I said 1 chocolate and 1 caramel. I didnt care if they put it in the whole or not, but look at what I got. Tell me, would the caramel sauce they gave me suffice the 2 churros? Wheres the chocolate? I checked inside the churros but nothing, empty! Maybe they didnt appreciate the 10% tip I gave thats why they treat customers this bad? Their churros is not even good! Im trying to support local but if this is the kind of local there is, then dont bother supporting. Just avoid this place if you dont want your day to be ruined. And their name is perfect for them, they should remain Clandestina (Clandestine), away and hidden from people!

I was missing Bar Taco from USA, so I ordered Taco and Churros, Tinga Chicken and Baja Fish from here based on reviews. Fish Taco was good, the shells were soft, I did not enjoy Chicken taco that much. Churro was too good, but only one for $3. I think they should update the menu by making Churro singular. I am sad.

Ok so here...The fish tacos are pretty good. The other tacos are ok too. But thats about it. Dont order the nachos. I ordered the beef nachos, they say its made with cheddar cheese but its more like some Cheez whiz processed cheese product. They came completely soggy and resembled something more like mash.

Only giving 2 stars for location and quick service but quick service isn t always good. I ordered the veggie burrito... it was like they dumped a whole soggy can of mushrooms in it, it was inedible. My husband got the beef burrito... we d say it was more like a veggie lol considering there was only a sprinkle of beef. $50 for 2 burritos and a mojito, extremely pricy. Most likely won t be back

We had fish taco, fish quesadilla and chicken nachos. Every item was terrible. The cheese was cheap and disgustingly greasy. They had patio dining but prevented dining customers from using the washroom. Yea.. this was the worst Mexican food weve had. Oh yeah, the sangria was awful. And everything was over priced.

I do really want to like this place. But its concerning that the same low reviews about price/quality/presentation continue to show up even after 2 yrs. Its wonderful that youre responding to the reviews about customers experience both good and bad.. but doesnt look like much has been done to change anything.. atleast according to my experiences and the reviews. But its always busy so

Clandestina offers convenient, unpretentious Mexican comfort food that is very flavourful and consistent. All of the different tacos and burritos are tasty and the nachos are also very good. Best options are the pork and fish tacos and burritos. The guacamole is a rare weak point. Always ask for the hot sauce if you like heat to be put on your food. It s a great place to either grab a quick burrito to go or to sit and have a casual patio outing with food and margaritas.

Food is decent but service staff are exceedingly rude! We just sat at a table after looking at the menu and were yelled at for sitting without ordering food. Other tables were occupied by customers without food. When we returned to the window to pick up our food, the counter person was rude again. There are plenty of restaurants in Toronto to patronize without having to deal with snarky service staff.
