Burrito, nachos, mulitas
Michael D.

I'm pretty sure this is the best carne asada in Ontario! They grill it fresh over mesquite and cut it into strips instead of dicing it. They loaded our nacho up FAT. I want to say this was easily 5 lbs of food and the acidity of the guac hit just right. The burritos are also HUGE. We had to throw in a couple of mulitas to try the other meats and I want to say the carnitas is almost as good as the asada. Definitely our new #1 taco spot in Ontario. Also the cashier was hella friendly and helped us order just the right amount of food. They also have cool murals on the wall!

It was so hot inside (I contemplated on going somewhere else tbh), but the tacos were pretty good. The carne asada was solid, but I wasn't a fan of the pastor, beans good, rice a bit dry. The burrito was okay, maybe a 3/5. Overall, decent food, but just a bit too warm for my liking. Would probably come back to try more, but I'd hope for a cooler environment next time.

Polo, Chorizo, Carnitas tacos

Came here for some lunch with a friend and we feasted on some delicious Mexican food. This place has some delicious tacos and man, those quesabirria tacos where fire along with the asada fries and BRC Burrito. ZERO lard or seed oils in the beans! The soft corn torillas contains ZERO preservaties and are Non-GMO, very important! Good stuff here, highly recommend. Place is clean and great service.

My husband and I used to order from here probably once a week. The last few times we have ordered there is not one salsa in the bag (spent over 50 dollars, tacos included and added extra salsa as a charge) , no silverware and the rice tastes like it's leftover from the days before. If you eat here do not order to go , go in to the actual restaurant. Seems like the people packing the orders are not paying attention or following instructions. Also if the sides taste older you can ask for fresh.

9/30/26 Came here today with a very good friend. The service here by Jorge and Robert was outstanding behind the counter, really nice gentlemen! The inside and outside of the store was very clean and it's in a nice area. We shared a lot of great items! We started out with the tacos, which makes sense because it's a taco place. We had three kinds of tacos. We had Carnitas, Pollo, and chorizo. Wonderful tacos!!!Next, we had a quesabirria each with the consommé. Then we shared some Carne Asada fries with guacamole, cheese and sour cream. Let me tell you, all the meat here are cooked has been excellent! Finally, we split a bean rice and cheese burrito. It was a nice sized burrito. The beans and cheese tasted very good and the rice was perfect! To wash it all down I had a Horchata and my friend had the Jamaica. Both were very refreshing. This was a great place to eat and I highly recommend you try it out if you haven't already!!!

3 Taco Combo Plate

I ordered 3 taco plate with rice and beans. I had one chicken and 2 asada. Overall, it was delicious. Nice ambiance. Service was great. They have Taco Tuesday for $2.00.

nachos

food is amazing, portions are extremely generous, and service is unmatched! try the horchata if you haven't.

Quesabirria tacos, 3 chicken tacos, and 3 asada tacos
Star S.

I would confidently vote this place as having the best quesabirria tacos. Hands down! Every time my boyfriend and I come here, we leave so happy and satisfied. Soooo good! We finally found the perfect amount of food that works for us. We get 3 quesabirria tacos, 3 chicken tacos, and 3 carne asada tacos. I can't explain how good the food is. Beautiful presentation, high-quality meats, and even the corn tortillas taste so flavorful and fresh. We are grateful for the consistent service and obviously appreciate the caliber of food. It's a cute spot to eat, and there are always more than enough tables. The Mexican music is always fun, upbeat, and goes along with my happy food dances! My boyfriend also commented that we lovvved our chill Valentine's Day in. We ordered our faves and some chips, salsa, and guacamole. Another incredible spread. One of our most memorable date nights in. Tacos and Netflix (Crazy, Stupid, Love)! I think it's safe to say we love this place and highly recommend :)

6 tacos

Delicious and great service from Pio Picos Tacos! We placed a large to-go order, and everyone got their meals as ordered, including substitutions to the menu. The taco combo plate is a fantastic deal at $11! The meat portion was substantial in each of the tacos, and the toppings were plentiful and fresh. The chips were a real stand out in the order. Seasoned and crisped to perfection, we ate the whole order too fast! Will definitely make Pios a regular stop from now.

First time trying pio picos tacos! Great service very friendly environment. Highly recommend. Good music as well!

2 QuesaBirrias
Nix P.

Quesabirria was delicious! Arrived still hot, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Initially, I thought it was a size of a quesadilla but it was more so 2 taco Quesabirrias. I'm not mad about it because it was tasty! I have yet to try the rest of the menu and will need to come in person to experience the service and ambiance.

The tacos may be mini, but don't let the size fool you--they are PACKED with flavor! The burritos, sopes, and drinks are all too! The place is clean, the food comes out fast, and sometimes there's a line out the door. But hey... when people are willing to wait for tacos, you KNOW they're doing something right! I'm a big fan of the carne asada, but the al pastor? OUTSTANDING! Seriously, I could eat those tacos way too easily. If you've never tried King Taco, what are you waiting for?!

It might be a little difficult to hear your order number called if you don't know Spanish. I enjoyed my carne asada quesadilla the most. They filled it with SO much meat, which was appreciated. The carnitas sopes was also very good. Everything tasted like you're eating homecooked meals. The guac it came with wasn't all that spectacular, but it did the job. Overall this place didn't meet the hype I expected BUT I would return based on quality and quantity of food! Service was also great, everyone at the front counter was welcoming. *Pics don't do it justice!! It tastes better than it looks!*

When they finally opened a brick-and-mortar location, we were excited to try it, but unfortunately, the food was just OK. We decided to give them one more chance after noticing their ratings had improved. Big mistake! This place was absolutely awful. The restaurant smelled bad, looked dirty, and the food was disgusting. To make matters worse, it's not cheap! We ordered menudo, and it was completely watered down, bland, and had absolutely no flavor. It needed so much seasoning just to make it edible. We specifically asked for pata (cow's foot), and they literally gave us what looked like one tiny toe! The burritos were overpriced, ridiculously small, and disgusting. We ordered carne asada, but honestly, I have no idea what kind of meat they served us because it certainly didn't taste like carne asada. What makes this even more disappointing is remembering how delicious their food used to be. I don't know what happened, but the quality has gone completely downhill. I genuinely don't understand how this place has a four-star rating. They also have an A health grade, which is surprising considering how dirty the restaurant appeared and how unpleasant it smelled during our visit. Overall, a complete waste of money. Overpriced food, tiny portions, terrible flavor, and an unpleasant dining environment. We gave them a second chance, and it was worse than the first visit. Definitely do NOT recommend. Save your money and go somewhere else! If I could give it a zero I would.
