Fun taco spot on King Street! Fast and friendly but I wouldn't put them in the same category as fast food. No, no, no! Wilbur Mexicana - they're much better than that. Casual yet FUN late night vibes. The only thing fast food-y about them is that their food comes out in little fun baskets. The tacos are delicious! I had the fish, chicken, pork and vegetarian (mushroom). Loved them all! The fish was topped with the perfect pickly condiments. The side sauces for the taking is a nice addition! They have a condiment station of a variety of sauces (spicy, mild) with add ons (pico de Gallo, peppers, salsas) to enhance your tacos! Love the high table set up. Nice for a semi large group (each table might seat about 6-8 people). Fun, loud music and views of King West through their large windows. A must try!! read more

I used to love wilbur - what a neighbourhood staple it's been. Over the years it's kinda fallen off a bit. The price value isn't really there anymore, and the meat quality isn't quite the same. Last time I went the steak was cold and chewy - just not the same as before. Service is always great but there are better quality tacos around. read more

Food at Wilbur was okay to my liking and had smaller portions compared to the classic Mexican restaurants I have been to. Ambiance is casual and service was good. Will I be back there again... Not too sure. I had tried their burrito bowl, nachos and tacos read more

Must try the fajitas! Went to Wilbur Mexicana for the first time and I regret not coming earlier. Loved the atmosphere. They had a fantastic sauce bar! Everything we ordered was delicious. The baja in the baja taco was huge. I really appreciate that the tacos came with chips and the fajitas came with guacamole. read more

This is a great spot! I was a little hard on them at first, telling my hubby "I've had better tacos" being the "taco connoisseur" that I am (I take tacos very seriously, lol) but after having tacos at another establishment the following day, I reflected a lot on Wilbur's. The fish tacos, topped with delicious chipotle mayo hits the spot! Two tacos filled me up nicely. The fish was massive, almost overpowering the tortilla, but somehow the tortilla never broke. I would suggest that they use a double tortilla. I am not a huge corn tortilla fan, (I prefer flour, think El Camino style in Ottawa) but they did it nicely here. Their salsa bar was amazing, so many great salsas to choose as well as a massive stand of hot sauces to try. Service was amazing and so friendly. I appreciate that they asked if there were any allergies (which there was), and how patient the cashier was. You are given a table number sign and its up to you to find a seat, which was the only downside: The seating!!! While there are a few tables outside, and some inside, it was a full house the night we went, and sat on a bench outside until we could scope out a table (which luckily we found one) Great place, amazing friendly vibe, memorable tacos. Check it out! read more

Wilbur Mexicana - Fish tacos! Good, but better with some hot salsa from the salsa bar. - Mexican Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I like frequenting Wilbur's because I'm a saucy girl and love their pico de gallo and hot sauce station! I ordered the cauliflower and shrimp tacos and while they were yummy the unlimited sauces elevate the tacos. It's located on king street so I always find that they have customers but there is ample seating. The service is quick and the ambiance is welcoming with large windows throughout the restaurant. read more

Food: the food is great, the best part is the salsa and hot sauce bar (which you can go and chose your toppings). I generally go for the original burrito bowl and top it with salsa of my choice. Locale: Very specious, large tables with ample of space in between them. Service: Half self service place, you order when you get in, they give you a number and ask you to sit down, they deliver the food to your table. I would go here with a medium to large sized group. read more

What a fantastic spot on King west that we tried last night. The tacos were delicious. We liked every taco we tried. We got the fish, mushroom, chicken and pork. Even though I'm not a fish person, I loved fish the best. There was no fishy smell and it was crunchy and tasty. It's so unique to have so many varieties of fresh and bottled salsas. The habanero sauce was amazing and we saw that's the one that got over quickly. No surprises! The staff and service is absolutely delightfu, friendly and fast. Mike is super friendly and let us try the margarita because we were curious if marg was made in house and if it's fresh because it's on tap. It tasted delicious. Great customer service right there to let us try! The restaurant is unique in it's style and vibe. Fast casual with semi self-service. But then it's way more upscale than your chipotle. I wish them luck for their second location at liberty village. read more

Great Mexican joint in the King West area. My favorite part of this restaurant has to be the self-serve salsa and hot sauce bar. They have such a large variety and you can mix and match your own. Tacos are pretty standard price for downtown. We got the carne asada, bulgogi, fish and mushroom tacos as well as guacamole and queso nachos. I appreciate that they have some vegetarian options for tacos. Everything was fresh and tasted great. The way you order is that you pay an order at the front, then get a number and sit to wait for your food to be served. Unfortunately it's often very busy so there is a wait for seating unless you take your food to go. Overall, it's pretty clean and spacious inside. read more

Came with my coworkers for lunch and ordered 3 tacos: - chicken - juicy chicken and creamy guacamole in a hard shell! - fish - fresh toppings balance out the crispy fish! - bulgogi - sweet, slightly charred, with a bit of a kick! Enjoyed all 3 very much, as well as the house-made chips and selection of salsas / toppings! As a spice and variety lover, I loooved being able to sample so many salsas and hot sauces! Even though it's an order-at-the-counter situation, the service was super friendly!! The staff brought our orders to our table and cleared our trays very courteously! read more

Spotted this place as we were walking by and decided to come try it out! The inside was surprisingly super nice, clean, and more upscale than we thought it would have been for a fast casual place. We got the taco supreme, carne asada and the cochinita pibil tacos. Our favourite was definitely the carne asada; the meat was cooked pretty well and the addition of the crispy onions on top made it even better. We were disappointed with the other two tacos but they were still decent at their price point. The star of this place is definitely the self serve salsa bar and hot sauce bar with so so many different options to choose from! My favourite is the pineapple salsa :) read more

Absolute go-to in King West. Busy busy spot but always reliable tacos. Literally always get the same thing -- bulgogi and fish with a side of guac. The vibes are amazing -- all the hot sauce and salsas at different spice levels make this a spot to really make yourself a taco! read more

What a gem! We were in the mood for something different and this was it! From the outside, this place is so unassuming but the vibe inside is so chill! We went on a Thursday night and it was packed! This actually made us excited because it was obvious this place was good! I got two tacos, one carne asada and one beef bulgogi and OMG! Both were absolutely flavorful and fresh! The chips were so crunchy and fresh too! The queso was so creamy and perfectly spicy (beware if you're sensitive to heat because it has a bite). My mom got the bowl and loved it! The ingredients looked super fresh and colorful! The service was spectacular and the food came out pretty fast considering how busy it was! I highly recommend! read more

Only dined in once (pre-covid) and had a great time at their salsa area! Since then, I have ordered delivery several times. I think I have tried most of the tacos and enjoy them all, without having a specific standout favourite. If I were to order only 1 thing, it would be the sweet potato burrito bowl! I bet it would taste even better fresh with crunchy fries. read more

Dine in is closed, but there's a patio outside where you can eat. I ordered the cali bowl and it was so good! There was sweet potato fries on top and the meat was also good. I forgot what the meat was but it was the recommended one. I also love that you can scoop as much salsa and sides as you want! I love the pineapple topping! read more

Ordered the fajitas this time, and also experimented with their wide variety of salsas.

It's pricey, though in a way that you'd probably expect given its location and refined modern decor. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I ordered mushroom and cauliflower tacos and made sure 4 times that the server confirmed the tacos would be gluten free and celiac friendly. When I picked up my order and got home I saw that they had given me flour tortillas. SO FRUSTRATING! This service is unacceptable. If I had eaten these tacos I would have gotten an allergic reaction. Pics show the receipt that clearly indicates Celiac and the two tacos which are clearly not using the same type of tortilla. read more

Wow. We tried Wilbur for the first time when we decided last minute to change our Valentine's plans to a cozy movie night in. We ordered the Classic Burrito and Chicken Quesadilla. I think food deserves a separate review as a dine in and takeout, so this review will be takeout focused. First and foremost, if you're on Uber wondering how Wilbur compares to take out fare like Chipotle or Mucho Burrito, there is no comparison! Wilbur is a clear cut above. This is reflected in the price point too. But for your additional $4-5 per main, here's what you can expect: 1) Each main came with a side of what tasted like house made corn chips. What really stood out was how you could taste the sweetness of the corn. The chips, like the rest of the meal, had much less salt than fast food mexican, and were far less greasy. 2) No extra charge for guacamole. Guacamole came both in the Burrito and as a side with the Quesadilla. 3) less salt, more whole ingredients freshly made. Tortillas felt freshly made, and the burritos were firm. Not soggy. The seasoning is much more nuanced and varied than Chipotle. Do not expect the quesedillas to be as cheesy or heavy. And in general, you will not feel as stuffed as you do after mexican fast food. All in all, I don't know if Wilbur is more authentically mexican than other Burrito-centric places, but it certainly is a nice change and elevated from the usual chains. Note: we scarfed down our food too quickly to take a photo! read more

Came here early for dinner on a weekend so there weren't too many people. But when we started to leave there was a line to order and not enough seats. You order in front, get seated and they will bring you your order. The service was quick and friendly. We ordered the elotes and every taco on the menu. Favourites: - elotes - creamy, sweet and savoury but kind of pricey for one corn - the unoriginal - carne asade - baja fish - All the meats have great flavour, and not dry. Fish was nicely fried to a light crunch. I love the salsa bar! So many options! I especially love the pineapple salsa, gave a nice sweet punch to some tacos. The seating area is not that large but it is fast-paced whereas people leave after they finish. Tacos are ok size, probably would have to order 3 to be full. I would say the price is not as bad as other places. I'd love to come back and try their other items! read more

Wilbur Mexicana - Mexican Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Ambiance: busy restaurant in the fashion district. It's a fast food/ service restaurant. You purchase and they bring the food to your table. Plan accoridngly as seating is limited. During the summer months they do have a patio seating outside but only limited menu. They have so many different sauces out to try. It can be overwhelming if you aren't too familiar with them. Most of them are not described so trial and error until you find the one. Mexican street Corn: delicious I would go back just for these. It was warm corn with cheese/mayo /spices. These are absolutely great. Vegetarian bowl: my least favorite. There was so much happening yet nothing tasted good simultaneously. Even with all the sauce it was bland. Tacos: were decent read more

Great spot if you wanna get some quick tacos or burritos. There was a huge variety of options to order and al for a fair price however there was a huge lack of flavour in anything you ate until you added sauces from their sauce bar(which was great). I felt like I was getting grilled vegetables flavoured with salt and wrapped in a tortilla. My stars are really going towards the tomatillo sauce which really saved the day. read more

Wilbur's tacos are a classy step up from Seven Lives. Nestled in the King Street corridor, their Ritual pick up is super smooth - very efficient grab and go. Food is 4.5 stars: tacos are a sophisticated set of flavours that tickle the pallet (order at least 3 if hungry) and their steak fajitas are tasty too. Limited seating on the patio so plan ahead. Have always been a very reliable quick dinner. I do really like that they are open 7 days a week unlike other taco places. Great patios in the area to visit right after. Perfect for a casual friend meet-up. read more

I found this place after simply yelping tacos in the area. Wilbur had amazing reviews so we decided to walk to this place from the CN Tower. When we got there the line was out the door and around the corner so we knew it was a popping place. The highlight of this restaurant is the salsa bar. There was over 8 sauces ranging from mild to spicy. Elote 5/5 I LOVE elote! This dish came with two corn on the cobs that were generously smothered in cheese, sauce and greatness. Fish taco 5/5 It was lightly battered with slaw on top and my boyfriend added the verde salsa on top. California burrito with steak 5/5 The portion was huge. It had great flavors and we added the haberno salsa on top. Grilled avocado taco 5/5 I love avocados so this taco was perfect. I added the ghost salsa on top and it was amazing. Each dish comes with a side of chips. Pricing is reasonable and there is plenty of choices on the menu. read more

This place is awesome! They have such a chill atmosphere with amazing decor! I came here for the first time on a Friday night, after looking at the menu, I was torn between a burrito or trying out some tacos. Eventually I decided to go with the Original Wilbur- ito with chicken, and I'm so glad I did! It was so tasty! With every bite I took, I could tell that it was made well and with fresh ingredients. I also really loved that it came with a side of tortilla chips ( you honestly can't find casual mexican restaurants that offer this ) which was perfect for tasting each salsa in the salsa bar! Prices are reasonable for the area and the quality/quantity of food as well. I also really loved how they encourage you to try out allow you to serve yourself many various salsas, hot sauces, and water. If you're looking for something quick, casual, and delicious, then this is definitely a place to check out! I'll definitely be back to try their tacos! read more

Myself and 2 friends stopped in last Saturday looking for a quick stop for a bite and mainly margaritas before a show. We showed up and there was a line out the door but not long enough to scare us off. They have some menus to look at while in line and encourage it for first timers. When we got to the counter they took our order quickly and gave us a table number. For as busy as it was it was surprisingly easy to find a table. The food came out quick and looked great. The queso didn't impress me. It was not the creamy white kind I love, more of an orange tint. It was ok but nothing to write home about. The quesadilla I had was great, good portion and cooked perfectly. We also shared a good handful of margaritas at the table which got better the more you drank . Overall it was a very casual mexican place and pretty good for a quick stop! read more
