These fries are so tasty and just what I've been looking for. I've been craving for these since May and with all the construction we didn't know where to stop but today we got a shooter spot right behind the truck! So I indulged in a large fries...and shared with my husband. They were SO GOOD! Crunchy outside, soft and pillowy inside. Some restaurants in TO don't know how to cook fresh cut fries and sometimes they are mealy inside or downright hard (undercooked) but this fry truck is the answer when you have a craving for delicious hot fresh tasty fries. I will be back soon and bring my son, who also loves a good fry. They have so many condiments for you to put in top too! The lady that served me was so sweet and kind. This is bonus in this big city. Polite people are almost to a minimum here. I was pleasantly surprised by her. read more

A quaint food truck parked right at Nathan Phillip Square. Primarily serves burgers and poutine. Ordered a medium Poutine. Crispy fries with skin topped with molten cheese and gravy. Great portion size and lovely flavours. Would definitely try it again in case I'm in that area. read more

Mr Tasty Fries - Poutine - Fast Food Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Everyone loves a good fry truck, but not all fry trucks are good. As the saying goes, imitated by many, equaled by none. Mr Tasty Fries is indeed that. One of the best truck poutines in the city. Staff is friendly and the service is quick. The only thing I'd pick on, and it's during this time of Covid and Omicron, is they're never masked. I've noticed this all over the place these days, which is weird because the numbers keep getting worse, but fatigue is a real thing and I guess people think it's not a big deal. I disagree. Still, the food is great. It'll scratch your poutine itch and add a side of burger and dogs read more

Love this truck! Great fries with gravy! Polish Sausage and fries w gravy only $4.50! This wont be your kind of place if you have the kind of unsophisticated palate that rates fries exclusively on "crispy-ness" and/or you think Costco has good fries / poutine. These fries are made of, and taste like: potato! Weird, I know! Not frozen processed McCain garbage coated with a weird shellac coating to make them artificially crispy. These fries are also... wait for it... browned! {Hears millenials gasp in horror!}. Yes, their fries with gravy are the best, nicely browned, flavourful, a little greasy, and SO tasty. Nor much else to say, just GO!! You can thank me later. read more

Mr Tasty Fries - Polish Sausage {ask for well done} and fries with gravy {partially eaten} are always delicious! Best truck anywhere! - Fast Food Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tried tested and true; it's in the name; it's truly tasty! I quite enjoy the freshly cut PEI potatoes with whatever toppings you choose, whether it is cheese curds and gravy or the special fries on the menu. They are consistent and delicious. It would be wrong not to try them! They are my go-to every time I'm at Nathan Phillips Square. read more

This "chip truck" * was the 3rd stop on the Yelp French Fry Crawl - Part I. The 1st stop was Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar. The 2nd stop was Beer Bistro. That's some big fry shoes to fill. Luckily, Mr. Tasty Fries has huge feet. (And you know what THAT means.) The fries are the long, thin variety but thick enough so the crisp exterior yields to the hot tater creaminess that lies within. They're sprinkled with some kind of orange crack seasoning that makes them impossible to stop shoving into your maw. Small = $2.50 Medium = $3.00 Large = $4.00 We sampled the goods from the other trucks on the block and they should just throw in the towel and call themselves, "Mr. Non-Tasty Fries I" and "Mr. Non-Tasty Fries II". Their spuds were bland, fat, globules of potato mush. ** Oh, and I'm still waiting for my colonic coupon. _____________ * Why do people call it a "chip truck" when it's serving up skinny fries and it's called "Mr. Tasty FRIES?" I thought chips were those thick-cut potatoes you get in fish 'n chips. ** We ended up giving them to the "broke & hungry" panhandlers that hang out in Nathan Philips Square. Hey, beggars can't be choosers. read more

Pretty good! Will break down poutine experience into components of fries, cheese curds, and gravy. Waxy cut potatoes hold their form during frying, skin-on adds a nice crisp layer providing some contrasting texture and fragrance you can't get any other way (10/10). Size of the fries are medium thickness, longer in length if this matters to you. I found the width perfect for folding in half, giving more coverage for the gravy and cheese than a thicker cut. Reasonable amount of crumbled cheese curds (I didn't get many large chunks but this just might be luck of the draw) (7/10). Piping hot gravy to melt the cheese (this review was in wintertime, ~0C) (10/10). The flavor of the gravy was flavorful with a touch of onion (9/10). Despite being the purported oldest food truck at City Hall, value remained good and competitive, being equally priced with the other trucks at $6.50 for a large. TL;DR Great fries, wish the cheese curds were chunkier but could be luck of the draw. Would come back again. read more

There isn't really a "Canadian cuisine", not like French cuisine or Italian cuisine....so I think poutine is the closest thing we've got (the American spell check on this website doesn't even recognize it as a word, that's how Canadian it is). For the visitors (non-Canadians), poutine is thick cut fries topped with cheese curds (they MUST be curds, any other cheese type is unacceptable) and covered in dark brown gravy that is so salty, it will have you waking up at 3 AM feeling like you've spent 46 hours without a single drop of liquid in your mouth. But oh how it is worth it. The poutine at this particular truck is the best. Which, as Connie mentioned already, is located near Nathan Phillips Square....so you can skate around the rink at NPS and then go grab so poutine claiming that "you've earned it". read more

Mr Tasty Fries - a hot dog truck - Fast Food Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I would say the best chip truck we have in Toronto! Poutine there is amazing with quite a generous portion of cheese curds. Spicy Italian Sausage always cooked to perfection and never had an issue with under cook meat. The old man that works in the truck is super friendly and prices are fair compared to all the nearby chip trucks. In the summer it can get busy because so many people just want to have lunch outside nathan phillip square. Definitely a favourite if you're craving street meat and yummy poutine. read more

Amazing poutine. There is always a line up. Curds are nice and squeaky, gravy is thick but not congealy. Fries are crisp outside and soft inside with nice potato skins on em. Lots if ppl get the hotdog fries combo so it must be tasty. Personally I don't want to waste calories on the hot dog when the poutine is so phenom-nom. read more

Mr Tasty Fries - Medium poutine - Fast Food Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Best Poutine west of Quebec. Pretty much every time I visit Toronto, I'll make a trip to Nathan Philips just to visit the famous blue truck and its no-frills Poutine. This is the ultimate comfort good: perfectly cut and fried potatoes, ample cheese curds with just the right scrunchy/slightly melted texture, and the kicker - a rich, beefy, uber-savory gravy. Dude should have a patent for this brown goodness. read more

Mr Tasty Fries - The famous 'blue truck' - city hall would not be the same without it. - Fast Food Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Very appropriate name!!! Nice person working. DELICIOUS poutine fries! Great price! What else can you ask for! read more

Mr Tasty Fries - Poutine $4.50 - Fast Food Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I think this place might only be good for its poutine cuz' the fries sucked. I went to this placed based off of Susan C's review and was let down. These fries were very mushy and greasy. Plain and simple. Would never recommend this unless you .... nope can't think of a reason to recommend this place. Sorry! read more

Trying to discover poutine in Toronto can leave you with bad decision fatigue. just go the park and order some outta this truck.

For poutine, this is my favourite place. Easily beats Smoke's aromatic offering. I don't know about the hotdog or burgers as I think it's insane not to order the large poutine. Poutini's is pretty decent. The fries are nice, chunky, and satisfies my body's need for grease. The gravy is thick, tasty, and well spread on the fries. The cheese is nice and creamy. For seating, anywhere in Nathan Philips Square. Just be sure to kick the pigeons and seagulls out of the way first. Whatever you do, don't drop any fries or else they will all fly over to your area. Would I drag a friend to this place? Yes, I've done it before and will do it again. During the winter, I just be a man about the weather and tough it out while greedily munching my fries. I'll endure anything to get more of this delicious poutine inside my body. read more

I would rather roll around in diarrhea then eat here, that doesen't even make sense as a substitute for eating food but I would rather do that then eat here. my fries had.. bone in them or something. Now I understand why I see people vomiting so much in Nathan Phillips Square. If you're really hungry try eating one of the pigeons walking around near the truck, I think I've noticed that even they have enough taste to mostly avoid the food from this truck. this goes for all the chip trucks on this little strip read more

After my first week working in the area. I gotta give it to Mr. Tasty for being the cheapest lunch I've had to pay for... and filling too! For Fat Friday, as coined by one of my coworkers, we took a short walk from the office and headed towards Nathan Philip Square. Mr. Tasty is there everyday even thru the winter. The medium poutine at $5.50 was very filling. I'll have to try the hotdogs/sausage another time - didn't want to go into a food coma at the office. One of the ladies did make a good suggestion tho... they should have a half serving of fries or poutine so we could get a combo fries and sausage/hot dog for more variety. Still... Mr. Tasty is a great option for straight forward un-fancified poutine or street meat. There's another fry truck a few feet away, but you gotta go to Mr. Tasty... The name says it all ;) read more

Killer food truck at Nathan Philips Square. The serving sizes are generous compared to the low price, and the folks running the truck are adorable. The fries are really delicious and well cooked. There are a few options for sausages, and all are really tasty. Wait time is short and on a sunny day you can enjoy your food anywhere in the Square. Overall, a good, traditional chip truck. read more

Oh, poutine, I wish I could quit you. It's a bad habit, though with the price of cigarettes these days, dare I say cheaper (and more delicious) than smoking. This is the "blue chip truck" in front of Nathan Phillips Square. I had been told by several people that this may well be the best poutine in Toronto. They weren't kidding. Curds. Lots of 'em. And the gravy was a little salty, but not unbearable. I'd use the word 'delish.' One of the guys working in the truck the day I sampled the deliciousness was speaking French, and at a poutinerie (of sorts) that's a good sign. I wish they'd make a road trip so I don't have to come all the way to Ontario for it. read more

Friendly gent in the truck. Satisfying cheeseburger and oh those fries! Hope to see you again soon when I'm in the area! Keep them fresh and tasty! read more

I am a poutine purist. I don't like fancy crap on top - just crispy, tasty fries, flavourful gravy, and genuine cheese curds with texture (bonus points if they squeak a little bit when you bite them). This fry truck serves the best poutine I've had west of Ottawa. I've tried poutine all over the city, from Smokes to Bier Market to fancy pants places like the Drake. All of them try to do too much with what is supposed to be a simple, post-clubbing type of food that should hit the spot (the greasy spot). This poutine comes closest so far to the benchmark poutine in Sherbrooke. read more

I walked by that truck for nearly a year and I always wanted to try something. So on New Years Eve I finally did. The line up was huge but after the fireworks I managed to get something without waiting half an hour. We had a large (really large) poutine and a veggie burger. The poutine was ok, the fries were pretty good. The veggie burger was, how do I say that: poor. A small veggie patty, one slice of tomato and a small piece of lettuce. But at least the food came fast and didn't cost a fortune. Maybe I'll try it again another day... read more

Amazing. I researched the best poutine in Toronto and was not let down at all. Was a little for a tourist to find it, but once i found it I was so happy. read more

Anytime I'm downtown Toronto I make sure I stop by this food truck. Their poutine is, by a long while, the best in the city. I can't say anything about their other food, because I have only ever had their poutine, and that really speaks to how amazing it really is. This place will have a place in my heart forever. read more

It was me Heather and Nicole out shopping and We had stopped to go to Stolen riches down the street to get some clothes for Heather's husband. we then asked then man was what the closest baby shop around this parts. He had told us Magic pony was right down the street. So we had decided to walk which wasn't a great idea but we did come across this place. We had ordered some poutine a large I think for all three of us girls to share. They were pretty good and the from what I remember cause this was some time ago the man was very enlightening and told us of some other great paces to go around these parts. It was one of our very first times to Toronto and we could have used the advice at the time and now we can point you in the right direction of almost anything. read more

My fiancé and I took a trip down to Nathan Phillips Square tonight to see the lights. We eventually got a little hungry and couldn't help but to notice this food truck. I went to one ok the right of where they were parked but I found the lady to be rude. Was I ever happy to give Mr. Tasty fries a try. My goodness...the customer service was phenomenal. I found them to be very courteous and outgoing. I'm not fond of Canadian/North-American food at all but we've ordered a poutine, a hamburger as well as an Italian sausage. Their food was flavourful. First off, they give you quite a bit of poutine I like many other spots. They practically pack your container to the top. I will even go as far as to say that they were not stingy at ALL with their condiments (I'm accustomed to many places being so cheap with even something as little as this). Once again, I'm not too fond of fast-food but boy, was I ever fond of this! I will be visiting again once I take a drive down there in the future. No wonder they've been in business for over 30 years. Great work, guys. read more

Fantastic Poutine, sausages and hot dogs. We went there twice on a few day trip. Definitely stop by.

The prices has gone up, maybe its just for the pan am games but disappointing to see it. Gravy ain't free anymore. read more

Mr Tasty Fries - Price as of july 14 2015 - Fast Food Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The guy who works here is really friendly and his fries are great! Not crispy but a definite must if you are in the area.....

Came here for the poutine while in search of the best poutine in Toronto. I had high expectations and I think that's why I was disappointed. Overall a good poutine. But they don't use Quebec squeeky cheese curds. Also gravy wasn't hot enough. Good value. Got a small it was really filling. Lakeview's was better. But almost double the price. Would probably taste better if it was 3am in the morning. read more
