    a cheeseburger and french fries
    Kervin H.

    Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Fill Factor: Satisfied I tried Grillies after seeing multiple locations around the city and wondering what they were about. I did not have much expectations when I walked through their doors but am happy to say that I came out of the place a happy customer. I ordered the Monster burger and the chicken breast burger with a side of fries. The Monster burger comes with a beef as well as a chicken patty in case you were wondering. You begin by choosing which sauce you would like your burger(s) is grilled in (I chose the spicier option but did not notice the heat). Next you choose your toppings from a long list of ingredients and sauces of items and sauces which ranged from lettuce, tomatoes and pickles all the way to fried eggs and extra bacon (which both cost extra). For the sauce I chose the secret sauce because why would you choose anything else if a secret option is available. Overall the burgers tasted great and the portions were good given the price. My partner who is a self proclaimed "fries expert" loved the fries here so take that for what it's worth. The service was pretty good here as the lady was patient in walking me through the topping selection process and giving me recommendations when asked. There is a good amount of seating and is pretty spaced out so it did not feel cramped at all. I enjoyed my visit to Grillies greatly as the burgers were delicious and filling. They also sell items like burritos and tacos in case burgers are not your thing. They offer daily specials as well so take advantage of those on your visit here.

    We loved how the Monster burger turned out. It was a great deal. The amount of freedom you have to customize your burger is also very much appreciated. Minus points for me was the very long wait time we had to endure. For what looks like a quick-serve restaurant, the time we spent waiting was unacceptable. We were here on a Friday night and was surprised that it was very lonely and we were the only ones dining in. There were several others coming in to order, but all of them were for take away.

    Friday special - pulled beef burrito $5.99
    Julie H.

    This place offers daily special - you can get a burger for $4.99 or burrito for $5.99. I came here today (Friday) and got the shredded beef special. I opted for the burrito option. You can make it a combo (fries and pop) for additional $2.99. They offer whole wheat or white burrito shell. The options for the shredded beef were medium, spicy or bbq flavour. They were generous on the portion of beef and I chose the spicy option. The spice level wasn't too spicy but tasted alright. They offer a lot of veggies such as lettuce, tomato, corn, onion, cucumber, hot banana peppers, jalopeno peppers, olives, and carrots. They only have white rice - It's not your typical burrito rice, it's more like balsamic rice. One thing I found unique was that they offer b beans or chick peas. I didn't mind that option and added both beans and chickpeas in my burrito. They have a large selection of sauce, however, if you want sauce on the side it's an additional $1. I really enjoy the amount of toppings they have. I just didn't enjoy the burrito as much since it was too soaked (I had minimal sour cream, special sauce, and hot sauce in my burrito). The special burrito of the day is definitely a bang for your buck.

    Sorry but this is the worst tacos I've had in my life. Just not good in any way. Plus the fact that my order took an hour to make!

    This is their Killer Griller burrito with seasoned chicken. I got the chipotle dressing and it was delicious! great portion size!
    Lynn B.

    Very good. I really enjoyed the food, will definitely go back and the prices are reasonable. They make everything to order and the fries stayed crunchy even after the 20 min drive back home to eat our takeout. Great portion size burritos too!

    Delivery through Just Eat -- Tinx Way burger, fries, medium bean tacos (chickpeas) and spicy bean burritos (red kidney beans)

    Great vegan options! I ordered through Just Eat and got a veggie burger (confirmed vegan by owner), fries, chickpea tacos ("medium" heat beans) and red kidney bean burritos ("spicy" heat beans). The prices are reasonable and there are so many free toppings you can add to your burger/burrito/taco. Standard items like lettuce, tomato, onion, hot peppers, but also items like rice, potatoes and grilled vegetables. Everything was super fresh and tasty and my note about no dairy was honoured. Will definitely order again!

    Decent selection at a good price! My husband and I had been considering trying this place for awhile and we finally settled on going there tonight for a quick, cheap meal. And it was just that! Although, it was good quality and good service. I got the veggie burger combo, you get to pick all your own toppings and sauce which is nice. He got the daily special, pulled pork burrito for 5.99! Worth a try!

    That's a handful of goodness right there.

    Had it via Uber eats. The food is exceptionally high quality. We tried the 3 beef tacos and a beef burrito. Every single topping is fresh,and the beef was not fast food quality at all more like home cooking.

    Good place to eat and. Nice decor, signage. Place is clean, staff is friendly. Caring like they like to work there. I had the beef burger and onion rings. Onion rings were meh... I had better. Burger was tastly definitely got to be back to try the burritos. They have daily deals which I'm going to take advantage of that for the next time. It's right off main and danforth.... Not the best area but it's not obscure location, the area is just questionable but the food is worth it. I would give it 3.5 but I'm willing to round it up due to staff and service.

    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.
