Good mexican restaurants in Toronto

The top Mexican restaurants in Toronto do more than just tacos and some do not even do tacos . While the tortilla-topped fortes (when offered) are on point, there is a complete selection of roasted meats, conventional stews and sandwiches for you to devour.

Grand Electric

Spend an afternoon eating pork tinga tostadas, chilaquiles, and wings, or an evening dedicated to tacos and spicy squid at this raucous Parkdale eatery. The bargain is sealed by Mexicano Caesar cocktails, bourbonade and tall cans of Tecate.

La Carnita (John St.)

Loud music, tacos that are overloaded as well as a tequila-heavy drinks menu are a common thread at each of La Carnita's four places. Daily specials and choose programs (such as quesadillas, chorizo meatballs and scorpion wings) are unique at each outpost.

Playa Cabana Cantina

No two eateries are equally within this family of Mexican eateries. At one location you’ll locate neighbourhood-unique takes on tacos and tequila. Other locations delve into comfort food, family-style banquets and Mexican-Korean fusion.

El Pocho

This patio-endowed antojitos pub in the Annex is the spot to really go for bottles of Mexi-Cali and Negra Modela -style snack food. Tacos, carne asada fries, road corn and tortillas with gauc’ all grace the menu, plus on weekends El Pocho does brunch.

El Rey Mezcal Bar

Sip on cocktails and let your tastebuds tour flights of mezcal at Grant van Gameren’s cacti-adorned saloon in Kensington Market. The kitchen is open until last call serving up like quesadillas, late night nibbles, potato sope, and empanadas.

King's Tacos

Traditional Mexican dishes will fill you up at this informal St. Clair joint. Here, tacos are presented with stacking piles of meat alongside steaming, ensalada and salsa tortillas for DIY assembly.

Torteria San Cosme

The Mexican sandwich store in Kensington Market has earned a loyal following for the taco-less brand of fast food. Tortas assembled on pan telera will be the primary menu items, but you must not overlook sides like elote and charros (sausage and bean stew) either.

Tenoch

This comida on St. Clair West offers an entire variety of conventional Mexican basics. Enchiladas, tacos, tamales, quesadillas, tortas and chilaquiles are all on the menu and best appreciated in the brightly coloured dining room.
