    Ordered takeout off of DoorDash and it was worth every penny! Great value and really good flavour. I didn't enjoy the horchata but it was also my very first one so I'm not sure what it's supposed to taste like. The chips and guacamole was amazing and the burrito was perfect. The order was done quickly and got to us in good condition. No complaints!

    I was walking down queen and I saw this little spot!!! I was so excited to see a taco spot like this open in the neighborhood. It's a short but straightforward menu. Fewer selections are offered so something I would want like shrimp were missing but that's okay. We had the fish, carnitas and chicken tacos as well as the mushroom and fish quesadilla. We were both happily devouring our food on the outdoor tables so no need to show the old vaccine passport. I had wanted to try the chilorio and even the guacamole and chips but sold out. And it's conveniently by Craig's Cookies so of course we went there .

    Really good tacos, burritos, and quesadillas at a great price. Huge portions, fresh, and tasty. Service is counter service, friend and efficient. We usually get takeout but there is bar stool seating and tables outside. All self service. Enjoy!!!

    What a gem. Very casual spot with high top shared tables and stools. Big menu with lots of options. Friendly friendly staff, fast fresh prepared food. Wish we lived closer, I'd be here often.

    Guacamole and chipy

    I loved this place, reminds me of the tacos I had in CDMX and for a reasonable price for Toronto. The place is simple but it has the charm of a local taco place, what is they are going for. Good service too. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Asada / Grilled steak Torta- Delicious
    Bryan R.

    Loved it! Drove past a million times but first time at Gus Tacos. Place was pretty busy but moved the line well. Staff were excellent and helpful with menu. Ended going with the Asada / Grilled steak Torta which tasted absolutely amazing! Will most definitely be back and would like to try some other items.

    And so the location that once had a very seedy bar, a greasy Chinese restaurant, and Ravi Soups is now Gus Tacos. Welcome to the hood. Gus Tacos is a family run business with a couple of other locations. There are several protein fillings that you can get in tacos(tortillas made in house and delicious!) quesadillas, chilacas, tortas, or burritos. There is also a top notch guacamole/chips combo. It's fresh, made in house , and the service is efficient and friendly.

    Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas, Chicken

    After having driven past Gus Tacos for a while, I finally decided to try it out. It's on the pricier side with $5/taco (even though the tacos are on the larger side). I tried the Beef, Barbacoa, Carnitas and Chicken. The tacos were fresh and the tortilla was light and thin. The meat servings were generous and you can tell the focus wasn't to add a lot to it. Basic garnishments and sauces only. They give sauces on the side and the hot sauce is amazing!! My favourites were the Barbacoa and Carnita! I wouldn't order the steak or chicken again. Giving it 4 stars due to the price, otherwise a great spot to try fresh tacos!

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.

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.

I would recommend doing so just in case if you want a specific date and don't want to sit at the bar counter.

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.

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 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.
