Pretty good and convenient place, close to Christie station. The prices were a bit higher than I was expecting, but quite understandable. It wasn't too busy on a Tuesday at lunchtime, but as our group was leaving another larger group with reservations started to arrive. The atmosphere is pretty good and while I was expecting spanish music to be playing, they had the world junior's on! Would definitely recommend the Tacos al Pastor, my friends had the Pupusas and said they were also pretty good. This place is cash only, but there are ATMs at the building next door if you don't have any cash on hand.

Hidden gem ! Ordered on uber eats(they're new) and gosh, the authentic flavors don't disappoint ! SO MANY vegetarian and vegan options, their bean pupusas, delicious tacos and oh my my my the habanero hot sauces are a killer !! Pro tip : Ask for a side of salad, the extra veggies help, with their generous crunchy 2 shell corn tacos ...flavors are perfectly balanced and just a rough touch of hot sauces are a kicker they also added 2 salsa dips for free ? Kudos

Online order of combo 2 which was a birria burrito & birria tostada. The tostada was the best part of my order. If I had only ordered that then I would’ve given 5 stars. I didn’t get a pic of it but it had the works with avocado & Latino cheese *just delicious*. The burrito on the other hand was suspiciously heavy and since I asked for no beans I was not sure what would make it so heavy. Perhaps a solution would be to have a list of ingredients that the burrito can have in order to avoid a burrito of rice & birria meat.

Love this place for the cripsy tacos! This Salvadorian taco joint somehow became more endearing as it has evolved from the tiny family-run hole in the wall it used to be across the street. The bright yellow walls and cultural trinkets that line them have made this more than the eat & run it once was. If you haven’t tried this place yet, I highly recommend starting with the crispy tacos - the one dish I think sets this place apart from most. The beef tacos are crispy all the way through while the chicken tacos are crispy at the ends but deliciously soft in the middle. But honestly, everything is pretty great!

One of my favorite go to restaurants. Excellent food, casual atmosphere, decent prices. The tacos are great and so are the pupusas…. And love the breakfast special! And the guacamole… could go on and on. Also the owners are some of the nicest people you could ever meet. El Salvadoran food with a Canadian twist!

The Birria consumé was disappointing, and my frozen lime margarita was bright green, which seems to be made from syrup when it melted. I don’t understand why they would make and keep frozen pre-made syrup margaritas when it’s much better and not much more complicated to make it the authentic way with real lime. I had higher expectations from such a long running restaurant. At least they have good beer prices at $5/tallcan.

Pre-ordered take out here. When I arrived the food was ready and well packaged. The staff were very friendly too. I ordered the beef burrito, 3 birrias + consome which came with nachos and salsa, shrimp soft taco, pulled pork soft taco and beef soft taco. All of the food was freshly made and delicious, especially dipped in the consome, which I could drink by itself! My faves were the salsa, shrimp tacos and birrias with consome. I would definitely recommend Tacos El Asador and I look forward to trying new items. Note that this is a cash only establishment.

They only take cash, so make sure you bring some. There's an ATM machine inside but you have to pay fees on the transaction. Food was good, if you like a hot salsa, ask for it, they don't bring it unless you ask. The other salsas are good too, just not very hot if that's your go to.

This place is awesome. The wife and I were craving birria and this place had good reviews so we checked it out and we’re so glad we did. It’s super authentic and the staff are extremely nice. It seriously tasted like the last time we were visiting Mexico. 10/10 recommend.

Usually crowded and food is really good. One must try the fish tacos here. The goat taco is good too. The service could be better but we did go during peak crowd. I wasn't able to order more as the waiter would never show up to ask.

The food was good, had platanos, pupusas, chicken soup, and the enchilada platter. Pupusas are $5 and decent size, and there are lots of other options as well. The service knocks down stars for our experience, as the waitor was very confrontational when a wrong order was delivered. He did apologize in the end but takes away from experience of dining.

Tasty downtown, been going for years. About average prices for Toronto tacos but made by someone who grew up making them, not some dude who went to Baja for three weeks. They to Lengua. Soups are fire as are tacos

Fantastic place to eat tacos in TORONTO! Rated to be best cheap eats since 2016. This place has a lot of character! Really friendly staff is always at hand to help and serve you! Everything we tried on the menu was fantastic! Real traditional taste! Worth the drive to toronto to enjoy a meal at this restaurant! A must try if you come to visit or even if you live outside the city center!

Cash only! Just want to start with that. Other wise, the food tastes great and it's home made. Great pupusas and the carnitas tacos are tasty. Highly recommend. Just make sure you bring cash.

A small locale but has always been a wonderful place to visit over the last ten years. The nachos are top notch and always are loaded with flavour. They are the standard corn nachos and not flour ones. The tacos are also delicious and especially the goat. The beef burrito as well is hearty and filling and this place is an amazing place to eat at.

It's not the same anymore. Quality of the food is disappointing for the price. We ordered 3 shrimp tacos and 2 chicken tostadas for almost $40. One of shrimp in the tacos were shredded. Tostadas were a little bland. Not sure if management changed. We wont be back again.

reasonably priced, Food was good but nothing really stood out enough for me to come back (unless I’m already in the area). I had the chicken and al pastor taco and did not enjoy either of them and would not recommend those however the guacamole and enchiladas with red and green sauce were good. We had to wait a long time for the bill.

Ordered the al pastor tacos. They were OK. Not the best, but not the worst. Perhaps other items on the menu would have been better. I'd like to try the crispy tacos next time. I hadn't been here since it used to be more of a take out joint with limited seating. Now, it is a restaurant with full table service.

Went for taco Tuesday.. Food and service was great. Nice little place to sit down and eat!!

I had the opportunity to meet the owner named “Smokey” thru a friend who knows him. Smokey is the man to give a complimentary shot on your birthday The nachos here were perfect,good portion with great cheese and avocados as well as the mini tacos. Don’t miss out with their Tecate …

Tried the 3 tacos + consommé deal. We ordered the lamb. Double corn tortillas filled to the brim with flavourful shredded meat. Tacos held their shape despite being mercilessly dunked into the bowl of consommé. Maybe not the dish to order on a first date…or after a new set of nails.

This place is such a cute vibe. The people that work there are really friendly and the tacos are top notch! They even do tamales. Highly suggest for a fun taco dinner.

Worst shrimp tacos in my life. They use store-bought base for it and even didn't fry it. They use the smallest and cheapest shrimps, which look and taste like someone already have eaten them.

we enjoy the shrimp tacos, but you really have to try the fish plate. They fry an entire Tilapia for you, and it's very tasty if yo don't mind eating with your hands. The fish plate is discounted on Thursday nights.

Venue and decor was really nice. Drinks were great, I got a margarita and my boyfriend got a Latin beer. I've had better and cheaper tacos and the meat was kind of dry which is why I'm docking off 1 star.

This was pretty disappointing. Nothing tasted fresh, or marinated / flavourful or particularly delicious. We left most of our food uneaten.

Great tacos, great flavors, nice people, I definitely recommend this place. I was not disappointed at all, I would recommend this place. It's so good.

Place isnt bad. Had a beef tongue taco-- recommend and one of their soups. I think the soup I had had little chunks of lamb. Flavors were delicious.

Food is really delicious, spices on point and I love that the staff treat every customers like kings & queens! Will definitely come back for more!

Best Latin food in the city, nowhere compares! Service is incredible and the staff are so sweet. Thank you to Monica for an amazing time <3

As a vegan I like to get the Veggie Burrito with no dairy. Its beans,rice,lettuce and corn and its amazing. I go at least once a week.

Crispy Shrimp Tacos are some of my favourite in Toronto. Quesadilla and Pupusa are just ok. Happy to see new location with more space.

Amazing food and service. The owner was very friendly and polite. It was my first time going and I will definitely be going back.

Al pastor tacos and tongue tacos were really good. The margarita hit the spot on a warm day. Would definitely be back.

Great menu and food. Had tamales, pupusas and beef soft tacos on my first visit. Everything was tasty and on point.

It is a real Latin place, I have eaten there the best nachos.
