This is an exceptional restaurant for authentic Mexican food on the west end. The food here is bursting with flavour, and is halal! I particularly liked the Mi Vida dessert, it was a delicious rendition of tiramisu.
I brought my mom to Comal y Canela because she hadn't had authentic taco before, so I thought Comal Y Canela, one of the best in Toronto would do the job. Oh boy, it sure delivered. The food is absolutely brilliant, fresh and delicious, although it was a bit pricy, which I think it was because I didn't order a platter to share (since I really want to have both birria tacos and gobernador tacos).
WOW what an amazing experience for Mexican food. It's so amazing that this place has halal options. This spot was quaint and felt super authentic. The service is so kind and attentive and the food get prepared so fast. The dishes are amazing and so flavourful! The Birria tacos were unbeatable. I would highly recommend this spot!
Came here on a Sunday afternoon with my boyfriend. Was quite busy, waited for approx 20 mins. Food- came here for the Birria tacos, flavourful and savory. Very filling!! The consommé was also very rich, and heart that complemented the tacos well. The 8 Birria tacos were a good amount for two people to share, and be full! Service-was good, but I could tell they were really busy and a little stressed/tired. They still did a great job, but could be a little bit more attentive. Parking - there's a lot that's right beside the restaurant.
The service is fast the food is made to order and the staff are very polite in explaining things if you don't understand. The ambiance seems very relaxed the restaurant has limited seating and is quite tight but they are expanding. The food is good really authentic and flavor full. I ordered this burrito for take out and it was good. The pricing is around $15-50
Delicious birria tacos! It comes with birria sauce on the side and the portions are pretty big. The restaurant is very nice but small.
Ok but the hype is reallllll! I'm always on the hunt for birria tacos in Toronto but I'm not in the city often enough lol. However, from the ones I HAVE tried (Birria Catrina, Gus Tacos, Molkagtez) they don't even compare to the ones at Comel y Canela. I find where most establishments fail is the consommé. Not here tho. They excel EVERYwhere. The tacos are hella stuffed with meat and nicely lined melted cheese. You top it off yourself with cilantro, onions and or lime. But trust, you need ALL the fixings. I don't even like onions but you need them. The broth is...everything you would imagine a consommé should taste like. SO much flavour and SO many chunks of birria. It's not too runny and the broth costs the tacos nicely when you dunk them. They are hella busy and the establishment is mad small. We had to wait about 35 mins on a Sunday around 2:30 for a table for 2. Trust me though, it was worth the wait. They take your order before they put you on the waiting list, so your food is essentially ready as soon as you sit down. Super convenient and efficient! I really hope they plan on expanding to a larger space cuz I want to come here alllll the time! They would do so well with a patio too!
Overall: 4/5 Food: 4/5 - I felt like the birria tacos were really good, but were just lacking one extra ingredient or sauce. The gravy and taco together were awesome, but some sour cream or creamy sauce, would be perfect to me. Although, I do know that wouldn't be a traditional way to eat them, but just me. Service: 5/5 very friendly workers and really fast! Ambiance: 5/5 Not going to lie, this wasn't in the best area, but the vibe inside is so unique and cool, it really feels like being in Mexico again. Truly authentic and a cool vibe.
This restaurant is an absolute gem! I've driven by it for years and finally decided to give it a shot. Woah! The food is amazing! The atmosphere is just so unique and makes you feel like you are in Mexico. The staff are so sweet, you can really tell they take pride in their work. A bit pricy but they give you great portions. This is authentic Mexican food and hospitality.
Hidden gem of york area! It's one of the best places I've been to for the most authentic Mexican eats. They also have hahal options. Here's what we ordered: * Nachos $16.50 topped with diced smoked beef bacon +7.50 - 8/10 * Lime Jarritos drink and Fruit Punch Jarritos Drink $2.88 each - 8/10 * Gobernador Tacos (Shrimp) $22.60 for 3 - 8/10 * Birria Beef Stew $22.30 - 7/10 * Birria Tacos (beef) $39.80 for 8 tacos - 9/10 *The must-try here! We celebrated a friend's birthday here, and loved it. I recommend small groups or even just two people for this spot. The space is very small, can accommodate no more than 6 people. Servers are very friendly and quick. The decor and ambiance inside feels like I've been transported out of Toronto and into Mexican food haven. Will definitely be back!
Amazing. Literally. I'm not a huge Mexican food lover but this changed the game for me. I've tried am y places but this was the real deal. I had never enjoyed it as much as this. The service was wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the birria tacos and my cousin had ordered the taco mix and match and also the guacamole tortilla chips. All of these were delicious. We finished it all. Very small shop and not a lot of tables but worth the wait!
Wow! I heard rave reviews about this taco place which is known for their birria tacos and man was I amazed. This style of beef tacos has a fried tortilla shell with cheese and and comes with onions and cilantro on the side. The star of the show however was the beef consommé that you dip the tacos in - with loads of meat inside and with all pure flavour and deliciousness. We also got an order of their chicken al pastor tacos which were also very delicious. We put in an online order and food was ready at the promised time. We hope to dine in next time instead of takeout to try out more of their menu.
Went here on Mother's Day and even though it's a six table seating area we were seated immediately. The food was impeccable and made with love. The family run restaurant was exactly as advertised, loving and delicious. I wish I could give it another star. It was a fabulous experience and the food was spectacular. A hidden gem that delivers in every way.
This is true to tradition Mexican food in all it's magnificence. Had a long chat with the Owner, a charming lady. Food: 100/5 Ambiance: 100/5 Service: 100/5 Pastor tacos: 100/5 Birria tacos: 100/5 Guac: 100/5 Their tortilla chips ARE FRESHLY MADE IN HOUSE. COME HERE! read more
Came here due to high rating. It's been on my yelp to-go list for years and finally have a chance to visit. Place is cute, feels like im in local eatery in mexico. My friend ordered the highly talk about birria taco. And i ordered birria sandwich. Ordered the mexican-style tiramisu as well. Friend love the birria tacos and not so much the sandwich. As for me, both are alright. Not wow or to rave about. I love the green chili sauce tho. I enjoy my sandwich because of this sauce....and I pour it generously. Tiramisu is good , light and not too sweet. but didnt blow my mind either. Friendly and attentive service. They have dining table at the main room (where the cashier and kitchen is), another dining area further back (no view of kitchen and cashier) where we sat. My area was empty except me and friend and less traffic for the server to come by or maybe check on us since we r out of sight (unless they wanna go to washroom). hence it's bit harder to find someone to help . need to walk to cashier to ask for stuff. Overall, good one-time experience. read more

Meat with a side of tortilla Chicken al pastor with pineapple suadero Chicken taquitos with green sauce Birria tacos 1 lb mix n match tacos with a lottttt of meat def worth it and very tender. Topping comes on the side and you build your own. Also comes with grilled onions and jalapeño. In my opinion I prefer the tacos over the birria because the beef in the birria wasn't as tender as the suadero taco. Chips are on the house. Table has three types of hot sauce/salsa. They also have halal options. Spacious and free parking on site. Service was quick and friendly as well read more

Juicy flavourful birria tacos. Best I've ever had. The broth was a bit salty and service was lacking a little read more
Catching on the trend of Birria Tacos! Comal Y Canela is hidden away within a plaza in a busy part of midtown. This is a tiny traditional Mexican kitchen that attracts many to try the best Birria Tacos in Toronto! It's the food that matters when coming for takeout. Birria Tacos include simmered beef in crispy tacos to dip in consommé. freshly-made tacos carry the grilled cheese & beef with birria stew. Dipping in consommé is even better as it's flavourful from hours of simmering with beef, onion & tomato. For a perfect finish, add salsa that's packed with decent heat! Look for the colourful floral exterior located in a tight strip plaza. There's no raging lines if you go early. Best to park on a side street. That way you'll be in & out for a quick taco run! read more
Very small dining area. You order your food and wait for a table. Once the table is ready, servers start you off with complimentary salsa and chips to munch on while you're waiting for your food. We ordered birria tacos, al pastor chicken tacos, and quesadilla. Along with horchata drink. Everything was delicious. Definitely one of the best tacos I've had. Great fast service. read more
If you're in the area, it's worth ordering takeout or dining in at Comal y Canela, an authentic Mexican restaurant at Lawrence and Jane with plenty of quirk and incredible food. Hailing from Mexico, the owner, Yasmen, serves everything from tacos, tamales, sope, quesadillas and birria tacos made from scratch every day of the week. And don't get me started on the tortillas! They're cooked on a comal griddle, giving them an authentic flavour that's hard to compete with! read more

I had this restaurant on my bookmark list as it was on a list of authentic mexican restaurants. I was in the area and decided to stop by for take out. It's not exactly a sit down restaurant. Basically you order at the counter and they give you your food. If there's a place to sit in their covered patio then you can sit, but it fills up fast. No waiter service. I wanted to order so many things on their menu, but it was the birria tacos that really caught my eye. The person taking my order said that that was their specialty, so the deal was done. They were absolutely amazing. We also ordered the guacamole which came with homemade chips. The service was quick and friendly. After you order, they give you a little buzzer so that you can wait outside or in your car if you'd like. read more
Growing up, we couldn't really afford to try many authentic foods. Mexican has always been a favorite of mine, but admittedly, I was lacking the true experience of it all. Fast forward to today, as I give Comal y Canela a visit! I ordered the BIRRIA TACOS (comes with 5) which also comes with a big bowl of consomme broth, salsa (your choice of mild, medium, or hot), as well as zip locks filled with lime wedges, diced white onions, and cilantro). My first thought was how content I was with the generous amounts of melted cheese in these tacos! I found the meat itself to be a little on the drier side, but dunking my tacos into the broth easily solved that problem, while also giving a blast of flavor (4.6 out of 5.0) If you're looking for a similar dish that is nice and saucy, I highly recommend the BIRRIA QUESADILLA. Definitely a beauty to the eye with its presentation (sorry for no photos!) but also pleased the tastebuds with its amazing flavor profile and juicy bites. I found the meat to be more tender in this dish. A 4.9 out of 5.0 rating from me, only because I personally don't love how prominent the taste of corn tortillas are. However, this was only problematic on the ends as eating everything as a whole masked the corn-taste. Shoutout to the team at Comal y Canela for such delicious food, as well as the friendly service! Not to mention, my food was service SO HOT. Despite this being takeout, it was still hot to touch when it came time for me to eat. They are currently running as a takeout restaurant, with 3-4 tables you can use just outside the front of the store. Even on a hot day like today, the seating was quite nice as there was adequate shade and fans running. Not to mention, nice vibes with their vibrant decor and music. Birria Tacos read more

A tiny place but sooooo worth it. Only 6 or 7 booths so be prepared to wait. Or take out. It's delicious food and with the owner/chef there you can get a great story or two of her love for cooking. read more

Amazing Real Mexican food! I had 2 different tacos and they were both delicious! The dipping sauce was delicious also! I will go here a lot and I'm sharing the location with my friends and family! If You haven't tried it, Go! It's awesome! read more
The best BlogTo discovery to date. Perfect way to end a Tuesday with their signature birria tacos and a few soft braised pork tacos and pork chorizo tacos for a variety of flavours for two persons. It was a lot of food and certainly fulfilling that we had to take a couple home for late night snacks. However we might just savour it for tomorrow haha. We avoided the dinner rush by coming in at 5pm so we were the only ones in the restaurant. Not sure if it was a slow night/day but it certainly deserves more traffic and attention on here. The place is really authentic and true to its culture and flavours from the decor, people, food and music. We really enjoyed it and can't wait to return for more before we leave the country. read more

Food was incredibly amazing. Every plate was flavorful and delicious, this is really authentic Mexican food. Place was very clean and felt like home. Service was great, servers were active all the time and attentive to every customer. 100% recommended. Such a great experience. read more
Food remains amazing and my favourite Mexican spot in Toronto. Tried the Birra tacos this time - they were amazing as expected. The chicken tacos remain my favourite taco on the menu. Tried the cheese quesadilla - it was incredible but it was more like a panzerotti. Updating because I tried new items and dined in. Dining in experience was good - service was average - quick to deliver food but did not refill water or return often. The ambiance is nice - cute decor and no background music, very enjoyable location for lunch. Must try restaurant. read more
Tik tok works wonders when it comes to free marketing! Someone showed me a tik tok video with the person trying tacos here and I had to try it! This place has Mexico authentic vibes and I love the overal look of the restaurant. I order the Tacos de Tinga de Pollo, Tacos order (4) Orden de Tacos and the Enmoladas. I love the authentic feel and taste of the restaurant and food. Our tacos were a little soggy by the time we brought it home but still really good. I recommend eating it as soon as you order it. That way it will still be nice and crispy. The enmoladas was really interesting as it was my first time trying something like this. The flavour were so bold and flavourful! What drawn me to this dish was that it had 32 different ingredients including "chocolate". How cool right? Would definitely come back to try a dine in experience. read more
Since moving from LA to Toronto I am always on the hunt for good tacos. I stopped here and had the carnitas. I ordered a plate which came with 4 tacos and I ordered some horchata. The person I ordered from was very nice. The price tag of over 25 bucks definitely hurt though, I won't lie. In LA I was used to paying like maybe 10-12 bucks tops for 4 tacos and horchata? The tacos were very good, it came with a great salsa, and I liked the onions. The horchata didn't seem like it was made from a mix. I enjoyed the tacos here and would go back. Though, if you are from like LA or Mexico there might be some sticker shock. read more

Comal y Canela - Let's taco about it. Location: 1692B Jane St, York, ON M9N 2S4 Birria Tacos (5 pieces) Price listed: $22.15 CAD Rating: 8/10 I'm a fan of tacos but don't often have the opportunity to eat them, so I was pleasantly satisfied with the birria tacos at Comal y Canela. The meat was nice and tender with the taco shell durable enough to handle the generous helping of sauce provided. Although I wish the spices were stronger for my palette, the additional sauces make up for it. My one gripe is that the price on the website doesn't align with the actual price paid. This was a group order so I don't know how the organizer paid but I paid $10 more than I expected. $6/taco is a fair price when you know that you're going to pay that amount. So just be mindful of that when you're ordering online. Overall, I enjoyed my eating experience at Comal y Canela and would consider going back if I was in the area AND they updated their website. read more
Have had takeout from here before. Very good food, so I took a guest for lunch. The interior is so legit. Super friendly service. We had burritos. One pork and one chicken. The chicken was incredibly well prepared and absolutely delicious. Pork burrito could have been slightly more flavourful but we both left feeling satisfied. Had 2 of the juice drinks and sides were pico de gallo and a small serving of the pickled onions and jalapeños. Our server gave us some chips and a selection of hot sauces as well. Because of the positive social media it has received we saw some sensitive Hipsters at a table. It was a shock to see people like this eating heartily without annoying staff with food sensitivity questions. But thankfully most customers were from the area and certainly not discussing gender issues. All in all if you want fantastic authentic Mexican food in a proper setting this is it. I would give 5 stars but in my opinion the prices are somewhat high. read more
