Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in Casa Loma

Food was tasty, service was outstanding! Definitely will be going back very soon!

Fabulous dinner at La Bartola for my vegan son’s 25th birthday. Excellent professional service by Santana. We had the tastings menu 7 courses - fun way to experience the food. They kindly put a candle in my son’s dessert and brought him a free celebratory glass of sparkling wine without being asked. They also rescheduled our dinner with no problem to a different day with less than 24 hours notice when my son’s flight home was cancelled. All staff and ambience are very charming.

I had the portobello tacos and made them vegan. They were delicious. The table side guacamole was unreal, so flavourful! And the service was very attentive and friendly. I would absolutely go back.

El Pocho is one of my go to restaurants when we have guests from out of town. It has great ambiance, amazing cocktails, and the food is spectacular. Because it is a small plates restaurant it is has the perfect amount of food for everyone. It is also gluten-free and I can easily take my vegetarian or vegan friends here and ensure they have a delicious meal that is more than just salad. Their sharing menu is also a great value. It is such a bonus that you don't have to make any decisions and only need to wait for the next excellent dish to come out. I can't recommend it enough when you have a group of four or more. The staff is friendly, professional and responsive. You can tell they really care about their craft and want you to have an enjoyable time. El Pocho is one of Toronto's hidden gems and one of the best summer patios. 10/10 recommend

We went during happy hour and the prices were right and the food was fantastic. I had the cod tacos, which were incredible along with a very yummy margarita. It was the perfect place to have a bite to eat before seeing a concert at the Opera House.
