When I went to the basement washroom, I swear I saw what looked like the end of a mouse's tail sticking out from under the door. Needless to say, I completely lost my appetite. When the waiter asked how everything was, I told him honestly that it was terrible. I had only taken two bites, and there was really no response. I wouldn't have wanted a replacement anyway after that experience. I also had some fruit bites, and about 10 minutes later my stomach started gurgling. By the time I got home, I felt awful. I was shivering, felt like I was going to throw up, and had to rush to the bathroom. It honestly felt like food poisoning. And I still paid for my meal Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place.

Visited this spot as its close to the museum and Casa Loma. The strong reviews looked promising so…read moreI decided to book a reservation here. The place is a bit small so it can be a bit tight so I would highly recommend having reservations if you have a large group. Tacos: The soft and the crispy tacos were both delicious. The tinga chicken and the beef barbacoa were juicy and full of flavour. The portions was fair, the quality was a standout and tasted quite authentic. Overall, I really had a great experience at Playa Cabana, totally would come here again to try out their other dishes.

The shrimp and fish are so tender. The sauce is amazing. Their horchatas are also top notch. I've had some pretty mediocre horchatas recently, so I really appreciated their perfect sweetness, perfect consistency, rich horchatas!! There is very little "seating" but there's plenty of standing tables.

For the two of us, in total we got between 8-10 different dishes to try plus 2 desserts. This is what we got: 1. 1 oyster each (phenomenal) 2. bluefin tuna tiradito - amazing, goes so well with the strawberries. My husband doesn't like strawberries but he loved this dish 3. scallop ceviche - a little disappointing, I specifically requested this because of others recommendations but it was just okay, the scallop was overwhelmed by the sauce 4. empanada oaxaquena - so good! love it with the sauce it comes with 5. tomato and cucumer salad- tasty and refreshing 6. scallop in green garlic butter (1 each) and bone marrow / shrimp. This comes with 4 tortillas so you can make tacos. This was my favourite dish! 7. fish (i think this is off menu) - but it was very juicy and this was my husband's favourite dish 8. pork secreto al pastor - came with 6 tortillas so you can make tacos. delicious 9. coal roasted sweet potato - this was just okay, probably our least favourite dish Dessert (both good): 1. Tres leches cake 2. Spiced mexican chocolate

I would recommend doing so just in case if you want a specific date and don't want to sit at the bar counter. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and everything was very delicious, just VERY rich. At points the flavours all together felt very heavy but everything was still amazing. Would definitely recommend to try if you've never been before although I don't think I would come a second time. Pork secreto al pastor and the tres leches cake were standouts for sure.

I'm from Arizona so my expectations for Mexican food are always very high and they surpassed them with EASE.

I came here for a last min dinner on a Thursday and it exceeded my expectations…read more There were a few empty seats when we got there at around 6:30 but it started to fill up shortly after. The inside was nice, it was dark with ambient lighting and decorated with a modern and Mexican theme. The waitress was super nice, and the staff were fairly attentive. We got the chips and guac to start. I do wish they gave a little bit more walk because it came in this really small cup so we had to go light on the guac to chip ratio. But overall the guac was yummy and the chips were very crunchy with a nice seasoning. They have a special every day of the week and Thursdays are there crunch tacos, which are hard shell tacos, wrapped in a soft shell taco with some sauce in between, and you can choose between their chorizo or chicken. We got one of each. I liked the chicken more but my partner liked the Chorizo. And all the toppings the perfect Fixin's. They only had three washroom stalls, which were gender neutral, and I thought they were relatively clean.

The service was top notch and the place is well staffed with skilled people. In a different neighbourhood this could easily be a dive with cheap tacos, but at this location a place like this needs to be more upscale and El Pocho delivers with everything living up to a quality experience, yet having a neighbourhood casual atmosphere. Decor is rustic yet clean and nice! Food was impressive with good portions and bar was capable and well stocked. Great experience and can recommend!

We had the chips & dips ($14.00) to start. They were excellent. Nachos with Guac, Pico de Gallo, refried beans & salsa. They were all super tasty & so were the hot sauce that came with the table. I recommend the Chiluba Sauce...very Smokey (Pic attached). I had the Diablo Shrimp ($24.00) Fajitas with extra shrimp ($6.00). This entire meal was simply FANTASTIC! There was nothing about this meal that didn't hit the spot. The ambiance was casual with great Mexican theme decor. All in all this was excellent & a definite do over.

Unfortunately, Hacienda las Americas didn't live up to the hype.

It was 3 for $12, which we thought was a pretty good deal so got 6. The standout was the chorizo (super tasty and great bite). The chicken, beef suadero, beef sirloin, and beef tongue were pretty standard-to-good. The carnitas was too stringy and a little tough for me. Maybe I'm in the (Yelp) minority and wasn't blown away with this place because I didn't get the tacos... but they were using the same meats for the tacos as the sopes, so I'm doubtful I'd have a different review. Worth a try once, but won't be back.

Casual yet FUN late night vibes. The only thing fast food-y about them is that their food comes out in little fun baskets. The tacos are delicious! I had the fish, chicken, pork and vegetarian (mushroom). Loved them all! The fish was topped with the perfect pickly condiments. The side sauces for the taking is a nice addition! They have a condiment station of a variety of sauces (spicy, mild) with add ons (pico de Gallo, peppers, salsas) to enhance your tacos! Love the high table set up. Nice for a semi large group (each table might seat about 6-8 people). Fun, loud music and views of King West through their large windows. A must try!!

When we first walked-in, we were served by the cashier behind the front counter, whom answered all of the questions that we had about the meals listed on the board behind the front counter. After weighing my options, I decided on the grilled chicken bowl, which had a mix of shredded lettuce, tomato, guacamole, and other spices/sauces. The bowl was hearty, with many delicious flavours rolled into one. I liked how the food items were brought directly to our table, which was great service on the restaurant's behalf. The restaurant itself was decorated well, with many artifacts resembling the Mexican culture, even down to the music playing on the overhead speakers. Overall, this place provided us with an excellent opportunity to try authentic Mexican food, in an inviting setting with great service. The prices weren't too bad either considering the amount of food we had received.

A popular taco spot in Toronto that lives up to the hype!…read more This spot is so busy and in the heart of Kensington Market. It's a tight space in the restaurant with barely enough room to squeeze by after ordering at the back. Their patio was also full during the summer so you really had to get lucky with snagging a spot to dine in! The tacos though were spot on and so good! Taco Pastor (Grilled Pork) 5/5 - My favourite taco I had here since it came topped with pineapple to give it a refreshing taste. Taco Asada (Grilled steak) 5/5 - This came with a lot of grilled steak which was delicious for every bite. Taco Carnitas (Braised pork) 4.5/5 - This was made with braised pork and also tasty as well. I thought I had a great variety of tacos here and appreciated that they were able to put the onions and cilantro on the side. Overall, I'm still thinking about the tacos here and can't wait to have it again.

So each time I have their shrimp and beef tacos. All tacos are served in corn tortilla freshly warmed and stuffed with your preference of meat topped with amazing sauces and vegetables. These tacos are super moist and flavorful. The best part is that they have maintained their quality so well over the time. Last time I got three tacos and they totaled to $12. Next time I definitely want to try their fish tacos. The staff is friendly and they make the order pretty quick. Lots of street paid parking in the area. Kudos to the team for creating such a following even though there are a few very popular taco joints close to them.
