Maizal

Our favourite neighbourhood place in LV. Pisco Sours are Amazzzing! Staff are always smiling and welcoming. As close to authentic as being on a holiday.
We feel like family even when it’s been awhile since our last visit. We’ve also been known to go here a couple times in a week, it is that good.
Tortillas are incredible. Chorizo dish almost can not be shared it is so mouthwateringly good!

Simple menu, semi-​affordable, authentic Mexican. The chorizo tacos are out of this world tasty… The guac was very fresh and the Sangria was good, but didn’t taste like it had been made in advance to allow the fruit to infuse with the wine.

Some of the best Mexican food I have eaten in the city. The guacamole, the tacos, and the quesidillas (?) are outstanding and as authentic as you can get in Toronto. It loses one star because a third of the time that I’ve gone there, it’s been closed. I just don’t have flow with their timing, man.

Hands down the best tacos in the city. Let’s be honest, the taco revolution has you eating some really good, tasty and unique styles of tacos. If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican taco experience, this is the only place in the city you’ll find it. The tortilla is ground and made in house and is unlike any tortilla you will find unless you are in Mexico City. Doin’ good. Doin’ real good.

Absolutely delicious tacos, best guac I’ve ever had and nice décor. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food at a very reasonable price!!!

There are like tons of taco shops around the city, but they all offer up fusion type tacos. This place, it’s all about the home style.
I can’t say I’ve been to Mexico, or know what Mexican home style is. But this place has the feel of a mom and pop, décor like that’s not only looks like it’s handmade, but also educational!
Their tortillas are all corn tortillas and they don’t break apart. The Tacos Dorado are the hit here. I’ve never had this before, rolled chicken taco fried and then sauced up. It was delicious.
And I’ve never been a fan of quesadillas, but this one while doesn’t hit you up with all the gooey-​ness of what I’d say I see in a quesadilla, it’s light, crispy and stays together with all the goodness inside. My favorite is the Mushroom Epazote, but the Conchita Pibil is also delicious.
There is pretty much only one waitress when I went. She wasn’t overly helpful but she did the job. The food came swiftly. She made sure the water was topped up. Explained the two types of salsas.
I’d come back here in a heartbeat.

This is probably the best Mexican food in Toronto. And I mean real Mexican, not texmex and other American twists and shouts. And the reviewer spent a few months traveling through Mexico, so he has some idea. :)
The tortillas and fajitas here are THE REAL THING — CORN! No wheat! Nobody in mexico eats wheat tortillas except for some holidays. I come here often and usually have a selection of different tacos, enchilladas and quesadillas. The meat inside is cooked slowly and amazingly — like in mexico — nothing is rushed, everything tastes right.
This is a great place for a date too, as the ambiance inside is awesome, mexican styled. The owner works at the cash register usually and she is from D.F. (where I spent some time) so we talked about how you can’t find a decent Taco de Pastor outside of Mexico :)

Loved it. After travelling to Mexico and in the U.S. South I have been very disappointed in Toronto Mexican food.
When Sam told us they locally grow and grind their own corn we had to come.
Well worth the trip.
We had several different tacos and Quesadillas. All good. The guacamole was good. The beer was cold. I was happy.
I forgot to try the cactus. Next time!!! :)

I love this place, the inside its small and cozy, I really like the décor. They have Mexican items in the menu that you won’t find anywhere else like huitlacoche quesadillas or queso Oaxaca, I haven’t been in a while because it’s far from my area, but whenever I’m around this is a must. The owners are super super nice and always here.

Amazing food, and the owners such great people! It’s been great to watch them flourish since they opened 2 (3?) years ago.
The beef tinga quesadillas could be the only thing on the menu and I’d be fine with that because they are freaking awesome.
Tacos dorados and guacamole are also excellent. I can’t comment on anything else because I can never bring myself to order anything else because those three things are so yummy.
However, my veg friends also like the food here, so the veggie options must be good too.

Was in the area and read the reviews on Unilocal,they didn’t lie. Tasty tortilla shell, loved that the most. I had the tinga beef, very nice, great flavor. However, the Picadillo was by far my favorite. The beef seasoned nicely and the way the cheese melted in it, scrumptious. The little side of refried beans, dizzam.

Amazing food. The tacos dorados are my favorite. The atmosphere is great and staff are super friendly and they remember their regulars (which is very nice and makes you feel appreciated).
Summer patio is a nice place for a warm day meal or drinks. Speaking of drinks wash everything down with the Negro Modelo beer — it’s delicious with the food.

Great food made by great people served in a great place! I’m glad I finally got to eat here before leaving Toronto. Don’t sleep on this spot it is a gem among the liberty village food choices.

Very sweet and quaint place. Super friendly staff and reasonable prices. Usually about $ 20 per person. It’s pretty crazy that they grow their own corn and process it themselves. I love supporting local businesses and these guys get I think everything locally too. You can taste it in the food it’s amazing! It’s hard to find authentic tasting Mexican food but this place really hits close to home. The beef tingas are delicious it’s my personal favorite. If you get the chance try the horchata too it’s a refreshing rice drink that you’re gonna remember.

Total let down. Ordered delivery from this place and everything was so lukewarm when it had arrived. Flavors were boring and so subtle. The bean dip was like play dough. What a shame especially because I live in the area and so I would love to support this place.

This is the freshest, tastiest all gluten free Mexican food I’ve ever had in Toronto! We ordered from Just Eat and even though it wasn’t hot anymore, it all tasted amazing. I look forward to going to the restaurant to eat sometime soon!

This is one of the better Mexican places that I’ve tried. It boasts a nice list of appetizers, drinks (non-​alcoholic and alcoholic), quesadillas, and other daily specials. This place might be appreciated by those with dietary restrictions since it has an equal selection of meat quesadillas and veggie ones. Moreover, they use gluten-​free tortillas that are derived from corn. They taste exceptional, aren’t flimsy, and give the food a wholesome taste. You’re also less prone to making a mess when you gobble it up.
Service was exceptional when we came for a late lunch on a weekday. The chicken fajitas were the special and had a subtle flavour. It was enhanced by the sauces she brought out for us. Tasted homey and delicious. I also ordered 2 quesadillas — both meat. They didn’t look like the sandwiched ones from other places I got Tinga beef and Chicken Pibil. The beef was well-​prepared, but I wasn’t a fan of the after-​taste. The Chicken Pibil was amazing! The chicken was so flavourful. It was also inexpensive — 2 quesadillas for $ 10 and so filling! Also drank horchata which was very refreshing. It was made with rice and tasted a lot like an iced chai tea.
To top it all off, it’s such a beautiful quaint place with amazing décor. The walls are lined with chalk images of how they make Mexican food. Moreover, the women’s washroom is beautiful — be sure to check it out!

We’ve been to Maizal around 4 times and will be returning many more. We think of this place as our secret little quesadilla café. The food is so authentic and delicious and everything tastes homemade. The place is small but it makes it romantic and it has a lot of character. We’ve tried different items each visit and have always left satisfied. Try the rice drink if your lucky enough that they have some left.

Best Mexican in King West and probably Toronto. I love the tostadas, aguas and alfajores de dulce de leche. Must go

Great selection of quesadillas and other Mexican dishes, including funky drinks.
