    I ordered for delivery because of course Covid :( I read the reviews and got excited to try a New Mexican Restaurant and you all know by now I'm not biased with Mexican food. I can honestly say I'm extremely disappointed. I had an elote that was like a mini corn with no type of chili, and this time I wanted chili. Secondly my steak tostada was bland. Extremely bland steak and so hard to chew. My steak tacos were also hard to eat and very little steak inside. I honestly feel like this could've been so much better but it wasn't therefore I give 2 stars. It was extremely bland food, all of it including the corn. I will not order here again.

    Shrimp tacos and chicken tacos

    If you want consistent authentic Mexican food this is your place. It's literally a hole in the wall in Williamsburg but the food is amazing. It's tiny and there's no space to really dine with a group but if you're looking for cheap eats for good amount of food, I highly recommend.

    Good price. I knocked off a star because the taste was there! But I wish they sticked to authentic Mexican food. Tacos with lettuce and tomato was unexpected and I would have preferred cilantro and onions. The cemita was delicious, highly recommend and the tortilla and meat was so good and fresh! Will try more soon!!

    Super unassuming but damn, this place is delicious! I got this place for takeout because the interior wasn't super inviting haha. I start with the taco, which was solid - I probably wouldn't get it again, but it felt refreshing with the lettuce + pico. The queso tostada was just the star of the show - a hunking chunk of avocado with oozy cheese made every bite special. The tostada started to fall apart a bit, but I made sure to have every last bite. It is quite cheap (~$4 per item) and service was quick. I will be back!

    35 minutes past the beginning of the delivery window and still no food

    Really bummed about my experience today. Had a craving for fish tacos and nachos (yep both) - read good reviews and the delivery time was reasonable (30-40 minute wait), so I went for it. 3 fish tacos + cheese nachos. Final cost well over $30 by the time $5.99 delivery fee, tax and tip added. Sadly the delivery window came and went. I called the restaurant and spoke with a very pleasant girl. She was kind and explained that the delivery was not done by the restaurant itself but by Seamless/Grub Hub and she has no control over the timing. Annoying. I was understanding but explained at this point the order was more than 20 minutes late. She told me she'd tell the owner and that there's nothing she could do. She recommended I call Seamless to complain. I waited another 15 minutes and the food came. It was 25-35 minutes past the estimated time window and was totally soggy. I threw most of the nachos away as they felt like they'd been run under water. I ate the tacos with a knife and fork but couldn't pick them up because they too had soaked through the shell. Definitely not satisfying the craving! Not really sure where the responsibility lies here - either with Seamless or with the restaurant but it was a waste of $35 and a waste of an hour+ time.

    On seamless it says cheese quesadilla, only sent tortillas.

    Customer service: I ordered through seamless and they forgot the actual quesadilla, I called and they said the quesadilla is $5 and because it says flour tortilla that is what they gave me. Of course the order didn't come with a receipt saying what the order actually tells them to do. ‍

    OUTSTANDING food, service and prices. Nondescript hole-in-wall storefront. The Real Thing.

    After reading the great reviews on Yelp, I was determined to check this place out. Great Mexican food is hard to find in Toronto, so Taco Santana looked promising! Be warned, however, that their stated hours of 11AM-10PM Monday-Saturday are pretty loose. I.e. if it's not busy, they will just close early. Went by twice only to be disappointed that they were closed. If you're making a special trip to come here, call first. When I finally did make it, I was not disappointed! Came by to pick up lunch. The place is tiny with no AC or fan, so it was super hot but the staff didn't seem to mind. That little girl in the photo was not there, but there was a young boy who helped translate our order and questions, as the rest of the staff speak little English. They have tacos, nachos, tostadas, etc. My DC and I shared: - Taco Santana with pork -- quite big and comes with fresh avocado. Delicious! - Tinga Taco with chicken and veggies -- 2 smaller tacos, no avocado. Very fresh and flavourful. - Chorizo tostada - my favourite!! Fresh shredded cheese on top and nice spicy sausage. - They give you 2 kinds of hot sauce - red and green. Both are really good, although the latter is way spicier. Total came to $8. Great value. I wish we had something like this in Toronto...! Will definitely be back next time I am in Williamsburg.

    It was nice and hot. It didn't have too much meat, which I prefer. I will return and try the Vegetarian burrito.

    This is everything vegan food should be - creative and satisfying…read more Bold flavors, a thoughtfully curated menu, and ingredients that are allowed to shine. The bowl was packed with flavor and made with some of the best, freshest ingredients. And the mac & cheese? Creamy, delicious, and completely vegan. It lacked absolutely nothing except, you know, the animal products.

    Aunts et Uncles: Vegan food that doesn't need a disclaimer…read more Baby, that loaded baked potato?! One of the best things I've eaten at a vegan restaurant. Period. A strong 9.5/10, and I don't hand those out casually. The peanut butter cauliflower was a close second--absolutely delicious, just a little pricey for the portion. The lasagna was a solid 8/10. Flavorful and hefty despite its lighter ingredients. Unless you're skipping appetizers, prepare for leftovers. Fair warning: it's saucy and doesn't travel particularly well. I also noticed an aftertaste I couldn't quite identify, but nothing that ruined the dish. The mac and cheese? A 6/10 for me. The flavor fell flat, though my dinner companions thought it was decent for vegan food. They also loved their burger and the gorgeous steak-style sandwich with chimichurri and avocado. The sandwich looked delicious, but the portion didn't quite justify the price for me. Now, the sorrel cocktail? A 9/10. Easily. What would make it a 10? A bit more alcohol. I couldn't really taste any. It gave mocktail. My girls did enjoy their wine, though! Service was very warm and friendly, although the packed crowd meant extended waits once we placed our orders. The space is beautiful, cozy, and elevated, but cramped in many areas. Between counter ordering and table service, expect people moving around you. Some patrons could use a gentle reminder that their behinds are not a complimentary side dish. The aesthetics are beautiful, the bathroom was cute and clean, and there's a small outdoor patio out front. They even had a DJ bringing block-party energy during our visit! I could easily see myself returning for breakfast, brunch, or a little café workday. What I love most, though, is the community-centered spirit and how the owners' partnership and love story are woven into the space. My final word: I judge vegan food by the same standards as everything else. No participation trophies just because it's plant-based. My ultimate test? Would I order it again, and would I return to the restaurant? Aunts et Uncles didn't need a vegan consolation prize or watered-down standards. Some dishes could use tweaking, and the portions don't always match the prices, but the standouts absolutely hold their own against non-vegan food. I'm already plotting my return. That loaded potato and I have unfinished business.

    The place has character for sure! Seating inside or out. I arrived early - around 8 - so it was…read morebusy but mostly to-go orders. I'm sure with a later time, it would be busier. I ordered an avocado bagel on seven grain. It was all delicious. There was lettuce and cucumber that was not listed on the menu, but that's ok. The whole thing had a lemony flavor that normally I don't like, but it went well with the other flavors. The egg was over medium, which they didn't ask me how I wanted, but I'm sure they'd change it if you asked. They were very responsive, polite, and quick.

    Cafe Madeline is a fun brunch spot with a cozy atmosphere but it defs can get super busy. If you…read morecan, come early to beat the brunch rush. The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.
