Best Mexican restaurant in Canada

L	Lauren Walker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great little restaurant, they have mentioned that they can make their food gluten free for a celiac - however, I had some cross contamination at some point in the weekend when I was there and cannot confirm if it was this restaurant or not. If you do not need to be gluten free, it's a great place to pick up quick food. I would only say that I feel it just needs a few more spices for flavour in the food and it would be a 5 star!
J	Justine Yiu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cute cozy ambiance, though it’s really stuffy on a hot day. Patio space was nice, but the tables were sticky even after a good wipe down. Staff was friendly. Came here on a Tuesday evening. Had the Veggie Taco ($4) and Margarita ($8.5) with tamarind tequila and watermelon slush. Margarita was good and refreshing. Would want this on a hot day. Except for the sticky syrup rim they put around the cup. It slowly dripped down the sides from the heat, making it impossible to hold without getting red sticky syrup on my hands. Just get rid of the rim. Not worth it. Veggie Taco had no flavour. It was black beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and guac. Guacamole is just mushed, liquidy avocados. Couldn’t even taste the lime. Black beans tasted like it came from a can. Could have really done with some seasoning, lime and cilantro. Tastes like a white version of a taco.
R	Rhiannon Ries on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ el taco definitely has the best burrito in town going to eat there is definitely something you need to experience, the workers are so nice and friendly and I've never been disappointed by there service. Although i think they should invest in having a delivery service i’m sure they would get a lot of business as well as happy and satisfied costumers. :)
S	Stevie Reigh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fiancé and I got food poisoning here. We both got burritos, which were watery and bland and mushy. Neither of us finished them. We also got the tortilla soup which, in comparison to the burritos, tasted like they poured a whole packet of taco seasoning into the tiny cups. And then later that night bad, bad, very bad food poisoning. Usually I would want to give a second chance but I haven’t been sick like that in a long time and I don’t think I want to take a chance!
E	Elena Malkova on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We loved this place last year. And of course, we came back this year to eat some awesome tacos, but what a disappointment! Fish taco is tasteless with small soggy code inside. Other tacos were just ok, nothing great. I agree with some the below reviews that guacamole is now just a green blend without avocado taste. We won’t be back again till I see the owner taking action to bring food quality back.
T	T Nodder on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had the fish taco. Good price but not good food. Would rather pay more for something that tasted better. It looked like canned fish stewed in broth served with shredded lettuce and that’s it. A gross watery mess actually. Apparently the beef ones are good.
C	Cott1710 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My girlfriend and I were very disappointed with the food. The sign outside says “best burrito in town” so we were very excited to try it, only to bite into a very bland flavourless burrito and the taco aswell. Also, it is way too hot in there for the workers, I can’t even imagine how hot it is in the summer time for them! They deserve and NEED to have some AC in there! Can’t believe it hasn’t been shut down for that. Very dangerous.
E	Elijah Crevier on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing food! Super friendly service. Wasn’t sure if the spice level for extra hot was hot enough, so they gave me some on a chip. For those who like spicier foods I’d recommend the extra spicy chicken burrito!
