La Loteria

I went to this place with my friends. This is a small and cozy restaurant. The owner is so sweet. They are welcoming and polite. I am not a huge taco fan, but I like the tacos here, it has so much favours. We both chose the 3 taco for $ 10. It was a pretty good deal. It came with hot and bbq sauce on the side. Every bite, there was so much going on in the mouth. I like this place.

Amazing little Mexican restaurant. Great prices and the food is fantastic. Be sure to try the michelada, best I’ve tried north of Mexico.

Great taco place! Wonderful friendly staff, exceptional tacos (I just returned from Puerto Vallarta and these were similarly delicous). The prices? Unbelievable. We luckily stumbled upon this place by chance, and I can’t wait to go back again. Great little place you shouldn’t miss!

Words can’t describe how much I adore this place. This is a cute, authentic, affordable, and super fantastic place, and I’m going to make it my mission to come here all the time. I’m never getting tacos from anywhere else.
Here are some of the many reasons why I love and adore this adorable, tiny, amazing little place:
— On any given day, there’s an advertised special on the sidewalk sign outside, so although it changes frequently it’s always a fantastic value. One time there were $ 1.50 chicken tacos, and yesterday there was a $ 6.50 deal for three tacos and tea (and it’s a special tea that I wish I’d asked about — kinda fruity, juice-​like, super tasty).
— The owner is super nice and is more than happy to answer any questions you might have about menu items. Or even like if you want to close the door because it’s drafty.
— The tacos (normally $ 10 for three) come with a choice of different types of meat: chicken, basa fish, sirloin beef, beef tonge, fajita beef, pastor pork, ummmm, i don’t remember the other kinds but they’re all good. I tried them all and they’re all really good. My favourite are the larger fish tacos that are normally $ 10 for two.
— The tacos also come with two types of sauce: the green one is mild, the orange one is genuinely spicy and amazing and SERIOUSLY. It’s legit. It’s not white people spicy, it’s amazing.
— The quesadilla is also amazing and comes with another great (creamy, non spicy) sauce.
— Domestic and imported beers are $ 5 – 6, which is cool. My fav Mexican beer is Modelo, although when I was like «can I get another beer please,» on a casual Wednesday night, the lovely old owner was like, «…another??»
— The bathrooms downstairs are SUPER clean (probably because people don’t use them very often I think?)
— But yeah, this place on the whole is fairly quiet (and small). The tables are small too — meant for maybe 2 or 3 people but I’m sure you could push them together for larger groups. I think they do reservations for larger parties too if you wanted to book the whole space.
— This is basically just an excellent date place as long as you’re both down with chowing down in front of each other in a very well lit place. It’s quiet and intimate and you can have conversations and stay for a while without getting chased out to make room for other customers.
— If it ever does get busy (which I really hope it does, it really deserves all the business and praise), there’s also some seating space at a cute little bar.
I’ve taken a ton of my friends here (one by one) and always had an amazing time, and everyone has loved it. For legit Mexican food, this place is seriously a hidden gem.

The tacos and guacamole were tasty! — better than some Mexican places I have eaten at and about half the price. Cute place to hang out, relaxed friendly service. I’ll go back soon!

Super friendly owner. He took a lot of time to explain everything to us and even brought out all the beer to show us what they looked like. He showed us a Mexican way to drink one of the beers with salt, lime and chill sauce.
The food was great too. Very delicious and authentic. The taco pita looked and tasted home made with top notch ingredients and a nice selection of different chillies/​salsas with them as well. A lot of different protein options for your tacos. Overall great place! Will definetly come back

Another restaurant featuring the hit Mexican food truck fare of La Loteria, this time gracing the College Street strip on the north side east of Bathurst. When you need a light snack and don’t want the TexMex stylings of Sneaky Dee’s across the street try this Taco joint with the chalkboard wall along one side and the colourful Mexican themed and piñata decorated opposite, roomy and ready to serve up some tasty tacos and burritos. We tried the tacos, chicken, beef and chorizo and they were all excellent with double soft taco shells to make sure they didn’t rip while you chow down and topped with fresh cilantro.
Dos Equis beer for $ 6 a bottle and the triple taco deal for $ 9.99 how can you go wrong? The hot sauce, red and green was ready to go right in front of you, along with a roll of paper towel at each table to cleaning up. The lime served was dry and could only muster a couple drips which is typical for the limes sold around here, so overall a solid Taco joint. Look for them with their food truck at the Pan Am games this summer!
