There is justice in the world. I'm sure someone lost a shit ton of money on this venture. But I lost time and money visiting this shit hole. It's one of the few dead restaurants I want to dance on the grave of. It was such an awful experience, from start to end. Hopefully, the owner takes a powerful lesson out of this business failure and goes back to school for Dentistry or something.

My GF and I noticed a taqueria had opened in this location and had made mental notes to try it. It seemed new enough that I didn't think it had many Yelp reviews. I wish I checked yelp reviews before dropping money here. Ugh. My impression is this place is on auto pilot. Success is just about showing up, right? Tables, beer, deck, smear crap on soft tacos. Haul the ol' money to the bank!
The tacos. First, zero flavor. Second, the ground pork was clearly reheated. It was all clumped together. Third, no hot sauce. The wait staff seemed to be clueless you might even want some hot sauce for your tacos. They promised (yeah "they" more about that later) to see what was in the kitchen. You can get salsas but they charge some crazy amount extra. For salsa. That's like charging extra for a bottle of ketchup. The soft tacos come out soggy and break apart when you pick them up. Fourth, dry limes. How do you manage that? Hoping to add some zest to our supposed chipotle tacos we tried to squirt on some lime juice. We each maybe got a drop out of each of our limes.
The "gringo" tacos seemed kind of a negative upsell. Kind of like categorizing your more expensive food items under "stupid white people food".
We had about 4 people working our table and even that group effort couldn't get anything done right. No cutlery for our nachos app. We had to ask a couple times. They have Mexican sodas although the waitress had no clue what flavors were available and they didn't seem to see fit to write in on the menu. And it took several tries to get hot sauce, which ended up being plain old tabasco sauce and a thumb print of chipotle mayo. Seriously if you visit this place PACK YOUR OWN HOT SAUCE AND LIMES.
Please, if you're the owner and reading this, please do North York a favor and get out of the restaurant business. As I said, success isn't about just showing up. It's about understanding every aspect of your business. I really got the impression you've not bothered to take that time.
