Seven Lives Paleteria - Toronto, Ontario

Nestled in the heart of Kensington Market this is a must visit if you are looking to try a decent taco. There are definitely better ones in the city but this isn’t too shabby for $7. I went with the Chicken Taco and it was pretty decent. But I reckon, ... the chicken could have been generously seasoned. If you are looking for a sit down place with tables and chairs then this might not be the best place. Having said that, there are plenty tables to wait/stand at and finish your taco ;) Customer service is average so overall I would rate my experience 8/10! Read more

Found this small local spot when looking for local tacos! Walking in, the place was busy. It's standing room only with tables, but honestly, it worked for the type of volume they do here. I went with a spicy shrimp taco and carnitas. First, I want to point out excellent ... portions. You will not leave here hungry, that's for sure. The shrimp taco was tasty and had a kick, but sour cream to cool it down. Loved it! The carnitas were simple with cilantro and onion. Nice flavor on the meat. Would definitely come back here when I'm back in Toronto! Read more

Seven Lives is easily one of the best taco places I've ever been to. I'm a big fan of fish and al pastor tacos and Seven Lives did not disappoint. The food came out quick and we ate while standing at one of the booths. There was complementary salsa near the ... register as well as wet wipes (a plus in my book). The fish taco was cooked to perfection, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Paired with their tomato topping, this taco had the power to change my life. I followed up with an order of Al Pastor, which provided a more bold flavor profile to contrast with the airy fish taco. With the vibrant atmosphere and delicious tacos, you will be leaving wishing you had stayed and ordered another one. I highly recommend. Read more

Dropped in with friends for an afternoon snack and boy did it hit the spot! We ordered fish, shrimp, octopus and carnitas! All four were very flavourful. With some Jarritos lime and guava to wash it all down, this was the perfect snack! Always a pleasure to drop in to ... Seven Lives for some delicious taco when in Kensington Market! Enjoying your tacos while standing up at one of the communal tables and with the soundtrack in the background adds to the great vibe and experience. Read more

The BEST tacos I’ve ever tried. Highly recommend the spicy shrimp and octopus one. Everything was flavourful and despite the price it is larger than your average taco. Interior was clean and food was served somewhat promptly. May not be the best atmosphere if you don’t prefer standing while eating ... but there is decent stand spots. Good takeout / quick bite for tacos. Will be back. Read more
