The lamb wasn't gamey at all and they were generous with the protein despite it being a special. The birria also only had one tortilla instead of two which I thought was rare. Because of the one tortilla, and generous meat topping the taco kept breaking and it was messy. Definitely would recommend this place and the food was ready under 15min!

We live in the area and have always wanted to try this taco place! Fun fact: it was featured on a…read morejarritos soda video which profiled some of Canadas best taco places! It is a small shop with only about 4 tables serving up juicy and delicious Mexican street tacos. There is a really wide variety of topping choices which made it impossible to choose! Everything we had was really flavourful and had just the right level of heat. They come with a homemade hot sauce which was also fantastic. I would also highly recommend getting the dipping consommé- I could have drank a whole bowl of it! We finished everything off with an order of churros which were some of the tastiest I ever had- they were so fluffy and crunchy but also dense?? I can't describe it. All the staff were awesome and really helpful but there might be some language barriers if you needed to communicate some dietary restrictions so practice your Spanish! All in all, super glad we gave this place a try and will definitely be going back to try their other taco flavours!

Nous avons pris le souper vers 17 h 45 : le service était impeccable, chaleureux, très accueillant et surtout, l'endroit était d'une grande propreté. Nous avons débuté avec une excellente Margarita, parfaitement équilibrée. L'entrée était très savoureuse : des tortillas avec pico de gallo. Les tortillas avaient une petite épice peu commune, ce qui les rendait délicieuses et originales. Pour le plat principal, nous avons choisi un fajita au poulet et au bœuf braisé. C'était très bien servi, avec des épices parfaitement dosées. Ne vous attendez pas à un fajita traditionnel : il est servi avec une tortilla de maïs plutôt qu'une tortilla souple comme à l'habitude. Par contre, je ne changerais rien, c'était délicieux. Bravo pour cette très belle visite, nous allons certainement revenir. Environ 60.00$ p/p

It was also because of this that the restaurant was nearly empty during peak dinner hours, which I imagine wouldn't be the case normally. There was a nice traditional Mexican backdrop & music alongside it. The staff were really great; one of them gave gluten-free options to a friend with a gastrointestinal condition, who opted for the taco taco: a double-shelled taco with cheese in between the shells to hold it together. You can get some well-priced dishes with great portion sizes. I myself went for the plato ahora carne with beans and rice as sides. It was great and filling. I believe Ahora's a strong pick if you want to get some authentic Mexican cuisine, and a great pick to bring any friends or family.

If I closed my eyes, I am back living in South America. The live music, the smells and colours, not to mention the bar, all make for a complete experience. The food. OMG the food. I have savoured every single dish I have had there. Nothing has disappointed, or even mildly annoyed me. My several dining partners have all been of the same mind. I love taking people here for the first time and listening to them extol the yummy-ness. Go. If you're a Mexican or South American at heart, this little restaurant in a strip mall will titillate your tastebuds. (note: I can't believe I said, "titillate your tastebuds". That's a first. Lol)

Often all the seating is taken, and so, even though you want to sit, gotta do to-go. And yet, there is room to add a couple of deuces. I tend to avoid coming here but it's one of a few restaurants a family can eat at, and so, here I find myself, disturbed by the lack of care. Sigh.

My…read morefriends and I visited from Toronto and were a little put off by the prices of the tacos but we were recommended this spot by so many locals, so we had to try it out. It did not disappoint. I had the tuna tartare, crispy fish, and grilled chicken taco. Surprisingly, the tuna tartare (the most expensive one) was my least favourite; something about it tasted too earthy and I couldn't taste the tuna that much as the other flavours were overpowering. The crispy fish is a must-try, and the grilled chicken is a pleasant surprise - you don't expect it to blow you away, but somehow it does. I also had a bite of the steak taco which was delicious.

On a Sunday night, it was not super busy but there were enough people that it didn't feel empty inside. A bit pricy but we also got drinks, and most trendy Mexican restaurants are like this these days. To start, I shared guac & chips - no complaints, we enjoyed and it was very fresh. The added tomatoes were nice. I ordered 3 tacos - the beef barbacoa was fine but the portion of dipping jus was tiny for 3 beef tacos. The best taco for me was the tuna tartare crispy taco. Loved the flavours and the fish was just delicious! My friends had the chicken tacos and said they were spicy but they liked them a lot. However, I did not enjoy the ox tongue taco and didn't finish it. I ordered it because all the reviews about it were so positive, but I didn't like how they just put two huge pieces of meat in a taco. It tasted very gamey and I didn't like the spongy texture either. The piña colada cocktail was yummy - I could taste fresh pineapple and it was very creamy.
