I love Mexican Food and I love this place; specially their patio. They have a beautiful decoration both indoor and outdoor and they also have heated patio during the winter months. They accept reservations for indoor dining, but patio is on first come first serve basis. Their staff are friendly ... and helpful. We ordered “Guacamole En La Mesa” and “Tuna Tostadas” as appetizers. Guacamole is made fresh at your table and the staff make it so fun to watch. It’s also delicious. For entrée, I strongly recommend “Baja Fish Taco”; a bit spicy, but the creamy coleslaw makes it very tasty. We also tried “Octopus”; it was perfectly cooked, but the dipping sauce could’ve been more tasty and flavorful. Read more

Amazing modern industrial feel with exposed timbers, cobblestone brickwork and steel beams. They've done an amazing job creating a chic and stylish space with a cool vibe and lively upbeat sounds. Menu is Mexican inspired and we just had appetizers....excellent guac salsa and chips...they mix it right at your table! Although we ... don't drink, bar looks long and lively with some really cool drinks being carried by our table. Patio is a great place to sit and people watch the folks strolling through the distillery district. Out inside table service was friendly, prompt and attentive. Would return 😀 Read more

Was recommended this little (the restaurant and terrace are huge 😂) gem 💎 for Mexican food and it did not disappoint at all. The service was amazing and super friendly. The food was tasty and amazing. They made the guacamole at the table with fresh vegetables and the chips to ... dip were solid to really scoop as much as you can and just salty enough. My friend had the Baja tacos which was very good and I had the Birria tacos with the dipping sauce that hit my craving perfectly. Finished with the 3 leeches cake and it was so good, I would eat a whole pan of it if I could. Would recommend a 10% Definitely on my list of spot to go back too when I stop in Toronto again 😊 Read more

Fantastic ambiance and hospitality. The restaurant’s interior design is fantastic. Guacamole is prepared table side with no bad options on the menu. We had the fish, beef & chicken tacos, the roasted cauliflower and octopus sandwich. All dishes were flavourful and the service makes you feel like you’re dining among ... family. Lovely experience.
