Man, what a hidden gem!…read more Worth the drive, if you don't live close by, for the BEST birria tacos in the GTA. I've also tried Comal y Canela, and I love these ones even more. They even have a special on Wednesdays and Fridays: buy one set of tacos and get the second 50% off. Bring cash as you get an extra 5% off! Food: Birria Tacos - 5/5 - I never give anything this rating. I don't know if I was just really hungry, but these were the best tacos I've had in the GTA. Truly delicious and the birria sauce just hits the spot. Carne Tacos - 3.8/5 - Still also really good and authentic, but compared to the Birria, probably wouldn't get this again and just stick to the Birria. Rice and beans - 4/5 - Tasty and authentic; it is what it is! Service: 5/5 - The friendliest, cultural staff, with a smile on their face and happy to serve. Ambiance - 5/5 - Reminded me of Mexico City... brought me back in time, really hit a sense of Nostalgia from one of my favourite places in the world. Loved, loved, loved this place and can't wait to go back!

Looking for some good Mexican food with no fuss. Something quick and easy but yummy. Great service…read moretoo. Mexico Lindo express is a neighbourhood staple. If you know you know. First time for me dining in and the plating is so cute!! I was really impressed. You need to come and try if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed. Right now it's BOGO 50% all street tacos every Wednesday and Friday.

We started with "appetizers" including the K-Wings or Korean style wings in both flavours. I…read morepreferred the Oro K-wings ($20 for 6) the crispy chicken left neutral but having been marinated in arbol (type of chili pepper), soy, and oyster sauce was very flavourful. Juicy and crunchy this is what makes Korean fried chicken so good. The Rojo K-wings ($20 for 6) were too strong for me: the gochujang, ginger, soju, and oyster sauce base tasty on the first bite but overwhelming by the last. Rest assured, Tinga Kim doesn't baby their diners and makes these spicy. I'm glad we got the quesabirria ($18) for the table as the shredded beef saturated in consommé was so rich and salty that one is sufficient. They don't skimp of the cheese so it's nice and gooey but could use more raw onion and herbs to counteract the heaviness. Strangely this arrives with chili oil and a sour cream aioli instead of the beef consommé you'd expect to dip it in. It seemed more quesadilla than quesabirria. Their single order tacos are great for building your own main. Ideally, the chef should have left the shrimp in the pingo Coreano ($12) neutral rather than saturating it in soju, soy and oyster sauce. By this point, I was getting tired of this flavour combo and was looking forward to what the menu describes as shrimp, soju-based salsa, guacamole, cotija & Oaxaca cheese, and cilantro. No where did it mention soy and oyster sauce, which completely covered the sparse guacamole and cheese but did help soften the tostada, so it was foldable and easier to eat. I'm really reaching for the silver lining here. The maapo libre ($10) tasted the same since the main protein was Korean marinated galbi. Except this was topped with an overly salted citrusy red cabbage slaw. Quite frankly, by this time I'm not sure what on their menu doesn't contain soy sauce. After all that salt I was craving something sweet. The Mexican flan ($10) was calling and while it wasn't terrible, if the recipe includes white chocolate in the custard they really should have left the syrup thin rather than dousing it in a thick caramel that brought this to cloying sweet level. Moreover, the custard became too dense. The silver lining? At least each order contained two mini flans that makes it perfect for sharing. My perception is that the chefs at Tinga Kim create one sauce then use it on everything. That same caramel was drizzled onto the already sweet tres leches cake ($17), which means yes this is tooth achingly sweet as well. At least the cake was nice and moist. Even the cinnamon sugar dusted churros ($10) didn't escape the sauce, which needs to be served on the side. The actual pastry was a bit dense but at least freshly deep fried and hot.

Hands-down the best tacos in the East End! Tinga Kim serves up Korean-Mexican fusion dishes done…read moreexeptionally well, where flavour profiles are paired together with a purpose. We ordered the Sunny Ceviche (citrus cured sea bass, szechuan peppercorn, and coconut milk) to share, which came with crunchy fried tortilla chips. It had the perfect amount of acidity and spice without overpowering or taking away from the natural sweetness of the fish. For tacos, I ordered the pescado (fish) and spicy shrimp on a soft shell, while my partner had the Korean marinated galbi and pulpo (octopus). Despite the price tag on each taco ($10-11), the amount of toppings piled on make them worth it and you can be full with just two. I especially loved the guac that came with the crispy fish, and the spicy sauce that coated the shrimps. The octopus was decent, but the galbi was a bit too sweet. My main critique was that our drinks took a bit of time to arrive, with our apps & mains served before they came. The table next to us was also attended to first even though they came in after, but I understand that it was a busy night and the staff were working as fast as they could.
