| - Amazing food and outstandingly friendly service. My husband and I came here yesterday for lunch. We split a carnitas taco plate. These were possibly tge best carnitas I've ever had. Perfectly roasted and seasoned with cilantro and. I think green onion. The server, who turned out to be one of the owners, Alex, was pleasantly surprised to hear us ask for a tamarindo. Now it was about 2;00 and my husband was having his afternoon chai/Vietnamese coffee craving. No problem. He skipped out to purchase a cup of chai (even borrowed the glass from an Indian restaurant a few doors down and Alex had no problem bringing it in. He chatted about Toronto and wanted to hear where we were visiting from.
That evening our friends arrived and after much deliberating over where to eat on Bloor St,, we found ourselves back at Mexitaco-- and quite happily. Alex's face lit up when he saw us and he introduced us to his mom. There are only 4 tables or so in this restaurant and we were lucky to snag tge last one by the bar. Because they were so good, my husband ordered the carnitas and convinced a friend to do the same. I splurged on the sizzling steak fajitas and they did not disappoint. And our other friend, the birthday girl had the beef burrito and really enjoyed it. The margaritas were good, though I'd recommend only the lime one, and they have a good selection of tequila and beer . To top it all off, Alex brought around tequila shots for our friend's birthday and then surprised us more with a delicious caramel chocolate cheese stuffed Mexican pastry. This restaurant is a great place and I can't recommend it enough for its great food, excellent and thoughtful service. It really puts a neighbourly face on a big bustling city.
