    Tacos
    Janice Y.

    I recently heard their Instagram account got hacked and had to give them my support and really push myself to try something beyond my usual taco joint in the same area. Let me just say, the owners there were very nice. They kept their doors open later so we can place our orders in as they were still finishing others that were for delivery. We order the 4 tacos, torta and chips/guac combo (also known as the Instagram tray). Guac was delicious and tacos were great! They don't really skimp here. The torta was great as well. The only note is that our order was incorrect. We got a duplicate of a chicken taco, instead of beef. Our torta was suppose to be chorizo but we got another chicken. It's a wash, I assume it's the end of the day, they may have ran out of the other meats and just stuffed the rest of tacos and torta with chicken. I enjoyed it and nom nom it all the same.

    Now that's tacos!!!

    Yo Quiero Tacos? Burritos? Ceviche??? Don't run for the border amigos... it's too far and Covid Travel restrictions are a hard NO! Face-Palm! As I said before ... Toronto is where all cultures come and feed each other! AND let me say I was fed! Kensington Market is a Toronto destination for food. Recently, street food and mini-food court have been popping up everywhere... I do have a theory. Follow me on this... Kensington Market has also become the home of grass, weed... you know.. cannabis... don't let me be blunt about it! :D And what do you need after a hit or six? FOOD! LOL! OMG! I'm kidding! Maybe not! If you do find yourself jonesing for eats, look no further than Pico De Gallo. Especially for good Mexican food. My friends and I (small group of 4 - trying to adhere to all the restrictions) found ourselves walking though puff alley and strangely we were damn hungry and Sergio Maldonado had our cure. His tacos come in Fish, beef, pork, or chicken - and they are satisfyingly good. His ceviche had good amounts of seafood and his chorizo burrito hits all the bells for flavour. It's a must try if for some reason you found yourself ... you know.. hungry! LOL Keep something in mind. There are about 4-6 small kitchen operations within the building. It is crowded and Covid restrictions are hard to follow within. This is primarily a get your order in, wait for it until you are called, get it and go on ... you know.. street food. They do have seating at the back - kind of an alleyway with chairs and very limited lighting. Have fun... Cheers!

    Fish taco shrimp taco beef brisket taco

    I visited on a Tuesday during the day they had 3 for $12 tacos or one taco for $5 so I decided to get three I ordered the beef brisket the shrimp taco and he fish taco My favorite by far was the beef brisket it was so tender and so flavorful I can eat the beef by itself Next I would have to say was the shrimp taco it was cooked well the texture of the shrimp was nice and it came with grilled vegetables on top and the vegetables were seasoned I can taste the spices My least favorite was the fish taco the batter was too thick for me the batter did taste good but it's swallowed the fish overall my experience was good the staff was nice and I would go back

    That is one of the "Tacos"

    Absolutely garbage- The taco meat is beyond overcooked tasted like saw dust .80 bucks down the toilet

    Nice little spot in Kensington. I tried their tacos here recently and really enjoyed it (I was a little skeptical at first because of some of the negative reviews). I ordered two sets of tacos (they come in 3) - one set of Baja Fish tacos and another set of Carnitas. The fried fish was a good size and very crispy while the pork was tender and flavourful. The toppings and sauce also paired very nicely. I definitely want to try some of the other items here next time!

    Cheap Tacos without the cheap taste! There's an expression "you get what you pay for" but thats not the case here. You get more than you pay for! 3 tacos for $12, but the quality of the ingredients and care put into them is for certain worth more than that. The beef barbacoa and fish taco are my favorite, but you can't go wrong no matter which you choose. The Ceviche is also stellar. My only gripe are the taco shells, which are definitely fresh pressed, and double layered, but at times the meat juice/fat makes them a bit soggy and they fall apart when trying to eat.

    Beef brisket quesadilla - small ($6)
    Giang N.

    Out of many Mexican food spots around Kensington market, this place is my go-to for quesadillas! I have tried beef brisket quesadilla and veggies quesadilla. Both were absolutely amazing! They do have mild pico de gallo which is perfect for people who cannot handle spicy food like me. The quesadilla was also served with tortilla chips. Personally, I do prefer the chips to be less salty and oily. Nevertheless, it was yummy!

    This is easily one of the best places in Kensington Market for authentic Latin American eats. I love Pico De Gallo because they have a huge selection of tacos, burritos, and other common Latin American foods that are made to perfection. What I liked about Pico De Gallo is that they have a huge platter/tray of food called the "Instagram Platter/tray" that has a variety of different items so you can try foods that you would normally not get. This is one of the most photogenic trays in the 6ix. I think their tacos are some of the best in the city and their GUACAMOLE is out of this world. Highly recommend trying all their foods as they are truly top class!

    Ceviche! I cut the inside of my mouth on those sharp tortillas.

    Came here enticed by the smells of the food court, and decided to order a ceviche. I asked in advance how large the serving was, as at a price point of $10, it wasn't cheap. The chef showed me a decently sized bowl, and indicated a slight mound over the top. Seeing that it would be a decent portion, I chose to order it. I also decided to add the extra $1 for shrimp. I was completely duped! When he delivered the ceviche, it was much much smaller than expected. Perhaps the smaller portion was for the better though, as I wasn't a big fan of the dish. The flavour was very harsh and raw - not as well rounded as the other ceviches I've had in the past. The biting lime flavour was overpowering. Moreover, the raw fish and scallops were of poor quality. The fish was cut in varying sizes and chunks, and was limp to the bite. The texture was highly unappetizing. I was glad that I at least paid extra for the shrimp - it was the main redeeming part of the dish. I wasn't very impressed and won't return, particularly as I feel I was fooled by the owner. It may have been a small detail, but I think it speaks volumes!

    burrito
    Kelly C.

    Counter at gordo's

    I had to do a double-take at Pico de Gallo when I stopped in at Gordo's to get a taco from Chilaca. I'm sure I've been here before, and added it to Yelp, but it was no where to be seen in my check in list. So I had to add it and buy something for takeaway. I ordered the chicken soup which was surprisingly chock full of chick peas ($10). Not what I expected, but pretty darn good to eat. Along with the tub of soup, he provided a container of fresh toppings to throw on when serving which was a nice touch. Nothing outstanding, but hit the spot for me that day. If you look at the menu options with pictures on the counter, plenty of it looked enticing and I will be back soon to try out the meat dish with chicken, beef and pork.

    Mexican food Tacos Ceviche Fresh Sandwich Recently had a tasting at @picodegallo.to and boy, why haven't I discovered this place sooner? The seafood here is freshhhhhh! The food is just delicious here. Pictured here: * Tacos: chorizo, shrimp, steak and pastor - so flavourful, cooked to perfection * Seafood ceviche: mixture of shrimp, fresh fish, refreshing and flavourful, generous portions! * Torta: Mexican beef brisket sandwich - delicious, juicy, saucy I'm so glad that I got to try this place out and thank you for the delicious food @picodegallo.to ! If you're ever in the Kensington market area or craving authentic Mexican food, check out Pico de Gallo!! You'll thank me later.

    Chicken Tacos with Pico and habanero
    Tim A.

    Restaurant is take out only. Really unfortunate there was no place to sit outside. Was cruising around the Kensington Market around 11am and was famished. Not too much open, not even the Shawarma place I was originally eying. On the outside, the sign said, I Love Churros. On the inside, it seemed like there were four food trucks in a stationary setting. Good customer service. tacos had great presentation for street food. Did appreciate the extra shell on each end to prevent a saucy mess. Flavour profile was really solid. Hot sauce was pretty decent, chicken wasn't too dry but not juicy or tender. The shells were a touch burnt on the inside. I'd rate it a 3.5/5. Great fast option.

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.
