MEXITACO Oshawa - Oshawa, Ontario

To truly immerse yourself in the vibrant beauty of Mexico, a visit here is essential. The cuisine, the ambiance, the people – simply extraordinary. As for the food, we opted for a unique approach: with four of us, we simply asked the server to bring whatever they recommended. Let me tell you, they didn't hesitate and certainly didn't disappoint. Without a second thought, we eagerly indulged. Take a look at the photos – the homemade nachos were undeniably authentic, a pure taste of Mexican deliciousness far beyond anything store-bought. I cannot praise the staff enough. We arrived at Mexitaco at 12:30 AM to find them cleaning, yet we were greeted by smiling, enthusiastic faces. We almost left, thinking they were about to close due to the evident cleanliness. We've already planned a return visit for dinner with a larger group. This place is a true gem. Do yourself a favor and treat your palate to an elevated experience of flavor.

This is the third or fourth time I've been to Mexitaco, and it never disappoints. Everything on the menu is fantastic. I try something different every time I go and I've never had a bad selection yet. Their drinks are fantastic and the food is always fresh and hot. This time we got the coconut margarita, frozen strawberry margarita, Chicharrón and guacamole (second time ordering this, it's a favourite now), carne asada tacos, Baja fish tacos, and the carne asada quesadilla (second time ordering, it's delicious). They always provide hot sauces and fresh lime slices. And though I didn't get it this time, I also highly recommend the shrimp ceviche! I will keep coming back and enjoying every visit. The staff is great, decor and atmosphere are great.

I have to say that this place has the best street tacos I have had recently. The ambiance is great, bathroom is clean. I love the Day of the dead decorations. Service was very quick and given with a smile and some banter. Also the prices are excellent! I'll be going back. Often.

Server/chef(?)/bartender was great. We were a larger group (8ish) and were there on Taco Tuesday. Very tasty taquitos (presentation was beautiful) and the strawberry Margarita was very delicious! I will definitely return

The atmosphere is as great as the food. The service is fantastic. We were a party of four. We all loved our food. The Pina colada is delicious. Get one 😄 Don't skip this restaurant. You will not be disappointed

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at Mexitaco was so poor that it feels necessary to share and hopefully spare others the disappointment.

From the moment we stepped in, the ambience felt completely off. It’s way past new year, yet the place still seems to be celebrating Halloween dark, cluttered, and just uncomfortable. It didn’t feel welcoming at all; instead, it gave off eerie, confused vibes like they hadn't bothered updating the decor or paying attention to seasonal relevance.

Customer service was absolutely ridiculous. The staff seemed to have no clue how to speak respectfully or professionally to anyone for that matter. No greeting, no acknowledgment of delay, and certainly no apology or polite tone. Instead, we were met with what felt like a superiority complex as if they were doing us a favor by serving us. Any questions or reasonable requests were met with attitude or dismissiveness. There was no sense of responsibility or basic customer courtesy. Hospitality was completely lacking.

Now, for the food, which was supposed to be the saving grace it just wasn’t. The tacos came in tiny portions that looked sad on the plate. They were not authentic, lacked flavor, and didn’t justify the hype this place somehow has. We left still hungry and totally dissatisfied. The prices don’t match the quality or quantity complete waste of money.

To sum it up overhyped, underwhelming, and overpriced. There’s a clear lack of respect for customers, both in how they’re treated and what they’re served. Save your money and your time. You deserve better.
