    Campechano taco, braised lamb taco (the furtherst one). Passionfruit mezcal margarita on the right and white sangria on the left.

    This little Michelin taco spot totally lives up to the hype! It's small, cute, and I loved the atmosphere. Tacos run about $11-$12 each, a bit on the pricier side, but they're filling and full of flavor (two or three would be enough to fill you up). The mezcal passion fruit cocktail was delicious! Definitely worth it to try, I wish they had some happy hour deals as well :)

    I tried Campechano for the first time this past holiday season for a cousin gathering. The restaurant is on the smaller and cozy size but fit our group of about 15 all in the back area nicely. It was a nice casual restaurant where our large group felt comfortable to chat freely and mingle. I heard that this restaurant is michelin recommended so I was excited to try it for the first time. The menu is quite large for a taco restaurant and had lots of options for any tastes. I had 3 tacos - the Pescado, Carne Con Queso and the campechano. The price is typical downtown pricing but each taco was packed with ingredients. I could have gotten away with eating 2 tacos and be full. We also ordered guac and chips for starters and they provided unlimited chips (which were fresh!). To end the dinner we had the tres leche. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients which we all enjoyed thoroughly. Finally, the service was top notch. Super attentive and very friendly staff. The food was also served one at a time so you could thoroughly enjoy your taco hot before diving into the next one. I can see why they received the Michelin star!

    Pescado taco and carne con queso

    Came for a late lunch on a Friday, and there was no wait at around 2 PM. Pescado taco was my favorite, followed by the carne con queso. Tinga de pollo was also solid. Overall really good!

    Tinga De Res y Margaritas

    One of my favorite meals in Toronto. A host of various taco options. Each better than the last. Ended up going with the Tinga de Res. Delectable. I was truly impressed by how amazing the Margarita was. (We had several). If you come here, you'll leave satisfied (and a little inebriated) Staff was equally as awesome. Experts on the menu with great suggestions. Very family kind of vibes here.

    Found this place on the Michelin guide and it definitely lives up to its hype. $10 for one taco seems pretty pricey but it's actually quite large and surprisingly filling. Between two people we shared 3 tacos and chips with guac/salsa and we were quite full. I'd also highly recommend getting a drink with your meal! My margarita was strong and flavorful which made the food even more enjoyable.

    Oh my gosh this meal was INCREDIBLE. We heard about this place from some locals and it did not disappoint. Probably some of the best tacos I've had in my life, they were so well done and the flavors were so well balanced. They had bad bunny playing and the lights were dimmed so the ambiance was also so lovely. MUST go while in Toronto!

    Carne con queso
    Reh L.

    Campechano is still probably the best taco spot in Toronto - the carne con queso, which is braised beef with cheese and a crispy tortilla is one of the best I've ever had. You can't go wrong with any of their tacos, especially the steak which is a classic. BUT, the prices have gotten insane - at $13 for a taco, that's nearly double most other places. Even though the taco is amazing, the value just isn't there anymore.

    So yummy! Some of the best tacos I've eaten and I understand why they're Michelin recommended! The food was so tasty; everything was packed with different flavours. I honestly wanted to try more but was so full by the end!

    Pescado
    Valerie P.

    Honestly one of the best taco spots in the city! We were blown away with how flavourful each and every taco we had was. Our top favourites were the chorizo con papa and the carne con queso. One order is a single taco so it is slightly on the more expensive side but it is so justified and worth it! The portion size is hefty for a single taco, but at the same time the ingredients are not spilling over the sides. You can taste the individual layers of the ingredients in the tacos which was amazing and all the flavours combined together was truly divine. Slightly disappointed that some items we wanted to try were sold out but by no means did that take away from the experience! The service here was good - they were quick to get back to us and we got sit down relatively quick. Definitely a must try spot if you love tacos!

    Food is quite good. The guacamole and salsa are excellent and the tacos are very good. My favorite was the pescado. The papa taco was good too, but I have to make the fish taco my favorite.

    Chips and guacamole
    Sam B.

    My dad and I came here on a last minute decision, and I'm so happy we did. The chips and guacamole were super fresh and tasty, not just some store bought stuff. We got four tacos: the mushroom one, the Carnita, the chicken one, and another pork one I believe. All of them were super flavorful with well thought out combinations. The mushroom one is a must have and I would also recommend the carnitas one as well. It's a very intimate venue with a cozy feel. The servers are friendly but not overly attentive. The service is extremely fast, which was nice. The prices are also super reasonable. If I lived in Toronto or frequented Toronto, I would always stop here.

    Came here with 2 friends, reservations are highly encouraged. Food: (4.5 stars) The tacos come one large per serving, you need 2-4 for a meal. The tacos are just under $10 on average. Pascado - the best taco I had here Tinga des res - very good Tinga de pollo - very good. Service: Friendly staff.

    Agnes W.

    I got a couple of tacos here: the pollo al pastor and the pescado. I had heard before coming here that the pescado is a must-try, but it was shadowed in flavor by the pollo al pastor in my opinion. The pollo al pastor was much more interesting. It has a spicy kick to it, so not recommended for those who cant eat spicy.

    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.

You enter the restaurant from a set of stairs outside and the restaurant doesn't look too appealing from outside. Also, the restaurant always seems busy and/or small, so it's always loud and service is slow. With the negatives out of the way, let me explain why I love La Carnita! The food is amazing! Their tacos are on point, and with so many to choose from I can go back multiple times can never get bored. Each of their tacos has something different to offer and each has relatively good balance to them. The balance of freshness and savory (and sometimes sweet) toppings is well done, making me come back for more. The one item that pushes La Carnita over the top is their nachos! Homemade nacho chips with gooey cheese and a generous amount of toppings makes them my favorite nachos in Toronto! One last observation is that the service is always friendly. They may be (very) slow at times but they seem like they always try their best and are always quite pleasant. Overall, I love La Carnita and when I get a craving for tacos and nachos, I'm heading straight here!

    Some might this this is crazy, but these tacos are better than Seven Lives. Calm down, I wasn't…read moresure if it would live up to the hype either, but this place exceeded every expectation that I could have. Hacienda is located on College Street, very close to Sneaky Dees, in a bit of a tucked away, inconspicuous location. The interior is fantastic and the atmosphere is authentic. There are a lot of reviews that knock this place for service, but that's not really the point of this restaurant. It's a family run place where the focus is food and soccer (when it's on) if you need something, you may need to call the serve over yourself, but that's no big deal cocerning the food. The tacos are the best I've had in the City. At three tacos for $12, it's hard to go wrong. After reading some of the previous reviews, the beef tongue was an obvious choice. I'm not too big in beef personallty, but the meat was so tender and almost melted. Next was the chorizo taco. It was fantastic. The chorizo wasn't overly salty like in a lot of other Mexican restaurants, which made a huge difference. The flavor was deep and rich, and paired perfectly with the salsa. Lastly was the carnitas. It's hard to make carnitas as good as Seven Lives, but wow, these were something else. The carnitas were tender, juicy, and perfectly crispy. The corn tortillas were also made in-house and were fresh and delocious. The servers also bring two sauces to the table - one salsa verde (green salsa) and one hot sauce. Both were great but be careful with the hot sauce, it's a heavy hitter! Pro tip: get a Mexican Coke, it's amazing! Hacienda is the best taco place is the City. Seven Lives is a close second, but Hacienda has them beat in terms of authenticity and flavor. Put this place on your go-to list, it will it dissapoint. 5/5

I also tried the tamarind drink and the mango drink which were interesting as I don't normally order sugary drinks.
