My favourite taco spot in Toronto! I came here with some friends and we got nachos and a platter of 20 tacos to share. The tacos are always juicy and tasty. My favourite tacos here are the sirloin and al pastor, but all of them are delicious. The horchata is also nice and refreshing. It's always crowded when I come on weeknights but I've never had to wait too long for a table. Parking is a bit tricky but there's some side streets nearby for street parking.
It was busy on a Friday night during dinner time, but we were sat right away. The atmosphere is pretty loud, and they also have live music. I had high expectations coming here, but was sadly a bit disappointed. This is probably because the best tacos I've had in Mexico and Vegas are hard to beat. To be fair, for Toronto standards I would say that these are pretty good. For me, the tacos were lacking a bit of flavour - I think a bit more cilantro, onions, and salt would have fixed this. The al pastor tacos were much better than the sirloin (the meat was dry), but both were just underwhelming to me. The corn tortillas were also a bit oily and lacking in taste. On a more positive note, the tacos do come with a lot of meat. The service felt very slow. The table beside us sat down a while after us, but they got their food first (it was the same dish we ordered). The server also waited 20 mins after ordering to tell us that what we wanted (carne asada tacos) was sold out. Overall I wouldn't be dying to come back here but it's a decent option if you want some good simple tacos.
Great value for terrific food and live music in North York! On a Saturday night at 6:15, it was already packed, and we had to wait about 15-20 minutes. It seemed like the majority of the customers were Latino, so that should already tell you something about how good this is! There was a singer who started performing at 8:00, but he was so nondescript that many people didn't even notice him-- no spotlight, no introduction; just a guy in a ball cap, plaid shirt, and jeans crooning away underneath the onscreen recap of a boxing match. His voice was so smooth, and just the perfect volume. In terms of food, the standouts were the nachos al pastor (it came with meat, pineapple, and guacamole) and the strawberry daiquiri (a decently-priced, generous portion). The saltiness of the nachos were perfect with the sweetness of the daiquiri. Tip: Do not try to park next door, in front of the pizza place. The poor servers have to walk around with a picture of the car to look for the customer who parked there. There's plenty of free parking in the neighbourhood around the restaurant!
I can on a Saturday afternoon with friends. They don't take reservations, and my friend said it gets very busy very fast, so we got there about 10 minutes after it opened. When we arrived, it was already maybe a quarter full. We were seated right away. We ordered 3 types of tacos (suadero, Al pastor, and one of the specials), as well as a place of nachos with added beef. The portion of the nachos were HUGE and they were very cheesy and loaded with goodness. The tacos themselves were also well-loaded with varying degrees of flavour. My favourite was the special (which I don't recall the name unfortunately)) followed by the suadero. We also had a bunch of nachos left over to take home. There was a long line-up by the time we left, so definitely arrive early if you want a seat!
Dropped in on Friday around 6 and the restaurant was almost full. I'd recommend coming early! Got the chips and guacamole & queso (mozzarella) to start. The queso was not melted and very difficult to eat... wouldn't recommend. Also got the 4 piece al pastor tacos which came generously with meat. My friend got the sirloin and it was very tender.
The tacos here are as authentic to Mexico as you can find in Toronto. They have tortas here is well. Complimentary totopos are brought to the table. There are 4 salsas to try. One is sweet and one it hot. The others are tame. There is a good selection of meats to choose from. Portions are generous. Drink and cocktails are available too. Parking sucks. You may have to look around the neighborhood to find a space.
Delicious tacos. We were surprised there was a special that day (Wed) it was buy one get one al pastor tacos. I tried the al pastor, steak and shredded beef. I liked the steak one the most but al pastor was pretty good too. Service was good. Every table got a free bowl of chips as well. Would recommend and come back again
Amazing taco spot! Food is so good and the staff are super friendly. Special shout out to Mauricio who made our experience amazing! This place regularly has lines from how popular it is, especially around weekends and warmer months. The vibes are so fun inside with mariachi bands playing and football on the TVs. Every taco is absolutely delicious, my favourite being al pastor with the sweetness of the pineapple. They offer a variety of sauces to pair with your taco, in addition to complementary fresh made tortilla chips. Definitely recommend stopping by if you can, the wait is worth it!
best taco in TOWN!!!! true authentic mexican tacos found in this north york spot. Parking is very limited and can get super busy so a wait for a table could take some time but food is worth the wait. Our favourites are the al pastor, sirloin, carna asada and chorizo tacos!! sooo flavourful and not stingy on the meat. They also give fresh chips and salsa at the start of your meal and their homemade pineapple salsa is out of the world!!! Always look forward to coming back!
This is my go to place for tacos. Their sirloin tacos are absolutely amazing. If I had to pick one meal for the rest of my life it would be this lol!
If you're driving on Sheppard this establishment might not catch your eye. However now that I know it exists I NEED to go back. We went there an hour before it closed and there was still a line up to get in. Not only that there was live music - it was such a fun experience. The food, AMAZING! Reminded me of tacos I got when I was in LA not even a week before. I cannot wait to go back and try more food items. It says a lot when my picky of an eater husband even plans to come back. I got the Al Pastor tacos and everything was so flavourful!!!
Such a great spot in Toronto for Mexican food/drinks. Everything I've eaten here so far has been amazing. First things first, when you get here it's limited parking in the back so you'll maybe have to find a spot somewhere else . There's been someone at the front to greet you and as you enter the restaurant there's pretty great energy. You can sit there for a min and know that all the staff work together like a well oiled machine. As soon as you sit down, shortly after you're welcomed with chips and salsa. Now for the food. All the meats have good flavour and they have multiple meats on spits for rotation in the kitchen. They have plenty of options to choose from and to be honest it really reminded me of tacos you'd get in the states...which if you know you know type of vibe- amazing. Drinks are also various and depending on what you want, they've probably got your classics and more. Would totally recommend this spot to someone and it has been added to a Toronto fav.
Had a great experience at Los Gyros! We found street parking nearby since parking is a bit limited, but it was definitely worth the visit. The ambiance was great and suits the location perfectly. The service was great, and the food was amazing. We ordered the al pastor and suadero tacos, along with an order of al pastor nachos. We didn't realize just how generous the portions would be, so we ended up taking most of it home to have for late night snacking. For dessert, we had the churros with chocolate sauce, and they were fresh, crispy, and delicious. Such a perfect way to end the meal. Everything was flavorful, portions were generous, and we'll definitely be back! read more

We came here for dinner on Thursday night and the place was actually very full. Their parking lot was very tiny, I was thinking how do people even get in and out of there because it was so compact. But there's a bunch of street parking and neighborhood parking by the restaurant. We got seated pretty quickly. Their menu is very large, it took us a while for us to decide on what to get and also to flag down a server. They had many large parties, even a birthday party on a weeknight which I understand. Also it's very spacious in there too, there's many tables for large parties and small ones. All the servers that took care of us were very friendly and helpful. I ordered four Carne Asada tacos and my boyfriend got the Chicken Fajitas with cheese on top. I also ordered a Pinada drink. The chips and salsa we had to start was good. The chips were crunchy, lightly seasoned, and crispy. It was fun trying out the different salsas to see what we liked the best. I enjoyed my Carne Asada tacos. Granted, I am from California and grew up with good Mexican food so I have very high standards. These tacos weren't the absolute best I've ever tasted, but they were tasty. Also for a single taco, it would've been $7. So seeing that much for a single taco was crazy to me, as I'm used to $4 (USD) ones. However, the carne asada meat was delicious. I think for me, I wish it had a little bit more onions and cilantro to give the overall dish more flavor. My Pinada drink was great. It was creamy, delicious, pretty much a Pina Colada without the alcohol. I loved it. All in all, we enjoyed our time here. For the area, this would be a solid choice to get authentic tacos and mexican food. As I said before, service was great. A little difficult to flag someone down given how busy it is, but they took care of us. I'd come back. read more
My all-time favourite taco spot! The flavours and portions are always super consistent. The service is great every time we come. We went on a Saturday night with a group of five and only waited about 10 minutes, which wasn't bad at all, plus the live music made the wait actually pretty fun! Definitely order the tres leches to finish everything off! read more

We were all delightfully surprised. We came because of the positive review. The tacos were loaded with shawarma meat and the nachos were a large portion. The vibe reminded of Mexico, casual with banquet chairs, loud music and staff in uniforms. We would come back again especially for the live music! read more
Great spot for tacos in North York. The place feels very authentic and simple. Parking is confusing at first but they have people guiding you and there's ample space in the back. Menu is quite extensive with lots of options but me and my party were there specifically for tacos. We ordered the Rosca de tacos mixta which gave us an opportunity to try 4 of their options. Stand out for me was the suadero with the nice fatty tenderness and the al pastor. The salsas they have are great, the salsa Verde stood out the most, but they have food variety with different flavors/spice levels. The tacos were a bit small for the price so the 4 tacos are a must. Service was great and everything came out quickly even on a busy Sunday. read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Toronto, this spot should ABSOLUTELY be on your must visit list. Tucked away in a modest plaza is where you can find this impressive gem. Upon walking in, you're greeted not only by the appetizing aroma of food, but also with a cozy, homelike ambiance. I came here with my friends and family on the weekend to a completely full house. While it does take some time to get your food after ordering, you get complimentary chips with dip and it serves as the perfect entree to your eventual meal. We ordered a number of popular items on the menu and the food was delicious! The tacos were savoury and fresh, and the nachos (good for 3-4 people) were really flavourful (they had pineapple in it and it added a surprise sweetness that worked) and crispy. This place is usually full, but the food and the amazing service alone is worth it! Your taste buds will thank you! read more

Very good Mexican food with a variety of choices. The service was decent/friendly, nothing spectacular, and they do have a 90min time limit per table. Loved the murals and overall vibe. The drinks were tasty but hardly any alcohol detected, disappointing for the price. Molcajete was very good and priced well. read more
Finally tried the place I've been curious about during drive-bys and grabbed a quick dinner. Sampled Al Pastor Tacos, Beef Sirloin Tacos, and Chicken Fajita. The Al Pastor was less juicy than hoped but decent. The rest? Fantastic--generous portions that highlighted the ingredients' best traits. It's now a go-to for Mexican cravings, though Itcante remains my pick for a homier food vibe. Just wish parking was less of a hassle. read more
Might be a some of the best Mexican food in the city. When you step inside you are greeted by staff promptly. This is a bustling restaurant that gives a family-feel. Food comes out piping hot and you can see the spits of meat inside the kitchen. Pricing is fair and portions are huge. 10/10 read more

Came here on a Sunday evening, and what can I say... I definitely stumbled across a gem. What used to be craves, an old bar, has now been taken over by Los Gyros. And absolutely, what a treat. If you're looking for authentic tacos, nachos, Mexican food, come here. It can feed a person, a family, a big group (to split platters)... it caters to all. Since we came here with a group of 8, we ordered a platter with 20 tacos, and an order of nachos. Hot sauces all around, complimentary nachos. Mmmmmmmmmm! YUMMY! Food was fresh, authentic, and flavourful. Would highly recommend checking this spot out!!!! read more

I came here randomly to try some Mexican food and this is by far the most authentic Mexican food in Toronto. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly and I can't wait to bring people here. The service is spot on and we didn't wait long but I could tell this place could get quite busy with a 1.5 hour seating limit read more
The food was very good and the meat was good quality. We tried three different types of tacos: al pastor, chicken/pollo and pork. Overall, it was an authentic experience with the ambiance being fun and live singer on Friday's! There was a variety of sauces to put on top of the tacos. Overall, the tacos were all good but the stand out taco type was - Al Pastor - it was excellent. The guac and chips was excellent as well. In addition we had alcoholic drinks - I had a pina colada - it was great. The service was mediocre but sufficient. Overall, I enjoyed my time there and I would return. Although, they are not the best tacos I've ever had - they were still very tasty and the atmosphere made it really enjoyable. I recommend coming for a good time and food! read more
I personally love places like this, where it's family run and the food is quality and quantity. The space is decorated with little nods to Mexico without being too kitschy or overwhelming. There are also large screens around playing sports, so I would image it would be a good place to catch the game of the day. We ordered the Fajitas (chicken, bell peppers, onions with four flour tortillas) and Al Pastor Tacos (al pastor, onion, cilantro and pineapples). The food came quickly once we ordered. The Fajitas came sizzling on a hot plate, keeping the generous portion of chicken and peppers heated as we ate. I liked the balance of the savory chicken to the sweetness of the pepper and onions. To kick it up a notch, the green salsa brought some freshness, while the orange hot sauce brought the spice. A great combo! I sneaked an Al Pastor Taco also, and it was delicious. Only criticism was not enough cilantro (hardly any to be found). Simple no-fuss great-portioned Mexican food. Will be back when the craving hits. read more
Like I stepped into a taco joint in Guadalajara. This place is legit. The tacos are authentic with nothing fancy piled on top. They are meat forward like that are meant to be. A simple onion and cilantro mix to enhance the flavours. When you walk in, you get 5 different kinds of salsa on the table along with some chips. Each has a distinct flavour and spice level. They are meant for the tacos as well. I tried the Carnitas, Sirloin and Pollo. Each were filled up and tasted amazing. You can tell they are dedicated to cooking the meat properly. I had a flan for desert that was outstanding. This place is busy, so be aware you may have to wait. The ambiance is ok, but the food is the real shining star here. It was a bit smokey inside so be aware you clothes will smell a bit. All in all a fantastic place. read more

My wife and I absolutely love Mexican food. We've been to many of the great spots around the GTA but not too long ago this place opened up down the street from us and we've been there a few times since. They have the best tacos I've had in the GTA and the closest to the tacos you can get in Mexico from a street vender or authentic restaurant(only difference is the price) a corn tortilla, perfectly seasoned protein with cilantro and chopped onion are the main ingredients for each taco and that's all that's needed. Every time we go, the place is busy with members of the Latino community so you know it's legit. All their tacos are great but the chorizo and chicken al pastor are my favourite. My wife is a big fan of their Nachos Sirloin which are very basic but loaded with cheese and well seasoned beef sirloin and are def made for sharing. They also serve everything with 5 different salsas in their own individual bottle ranging from mild to very spicy. Staff are also very nice and helpful in regards to the menu. Very highly recommended and we will be frequently visiting for lunch or dinner on their patio during the summer. read more

I'm by no means a taco expert but I've eaten plenty of disappointing tacos in this city and elsewhere. This is the first time I've eaten tacos and craved them the week after... Los Gyros seems like an authentic neighbourhood joint pushing out really well made Mexican food. They've also got excellent mojitos and margaritas with this really luscious texture that you generally don't get elsewhere. / When you sit down, they'll normally bring you some chips with their variety of sauces -- try them all and find your favourites so that you can add a bit (to taste) to your taco selection. I've tried the Al Pastor, Suadero, Carne Asada and Chorizo tacos and all are fingerlicking good. I find the tacos here so much more flavourful even without the sauces. Sometimes the meat can feel a bit dry at other places, or somehow lacking in seasoning. Here you get bomb after bomb of deliciousness. If you're into purin, the flan is silky smooth and wonderful. The tres leches cake looks kind of soggy but the texture is oddly addictive and is very tasty! read more
I recently moved into the neighbourhood and was surprised that an authentic Mexican taco joint lived nearby! And this is authentic. The family-owned business seemed to serve a primarily Mexican clientele, which was our first indication of something special. The tacos are real. Nothing fancy - just exactly as you would expect from Mexican street tacos. However, the meat is fresh, and the sauces really enhance the flavours. Two small negatives. First, I agree with the comments from others that the price is a bit high for what you get. Secondly, service was a bit slow. However they were busy and likely understaffed, as with most restaurants. I suppose these are realities of restaurant dining in 2022. I would recommend this place if you're in the area! read more
