By far the best taco joint in the city ! Be patient it will take some time before you can get your hands on the delicious tacos . Totally worth the wait! Get the gobernador. Definitely come again, soon!

One of the best tacos in toronto i got blackened mahi mahi which is a hawaian fish , was superb and camarones a la diabla also delish but too spicy if u usually don't eat spicy , i ll come back for more

Mimi

You've got to hit up this spot for legit tacos . Although there's also a lineup, it's worth the wait. There are barely seats inside so make sure you've got a place to take your tacos afterwards.

Tobias Reynolds

Authentic place! They specialise in fish so all those dishes are great. That said, I do love fried so try their fried fish . Also, the Mexican cola is great!

Wendy

Try their grilled octopus tacos ! ???? They cook the octopus pieces a bit tender, so you don't need to worry about the taco being too chewy. Also, tacos are $6 each now (without tax)!

Erin

Gobernador and octopus tacos ! So delicious. Definitely will have to wait for a bit and not much room to eat when you get your food.

Gabriel Seah

Had Ahi tuna and Octopus . They were both pretty good and had generous portions of seafood (especially the octopus ). The celery in the octopus gave it a nice crunch.

Cindy Chan

The tacos are big, cheap (~$5) and delicious! My go-to is the baja fish taco ! Don't forget to help yourself to their hot sauce and fresh lime when you pick up your tacos .

Ryan Bannon

Taco spot 1 of 3: Seven Lives is a great stop off as part of an afternoon spent exploring Kensington. Their departure from the simple traditional flavours sets them apart from the other taco spots .

Maryann

Gobernador is to die for! ????. This place is super busy, and make sure you bring cash!

Rebecca Raia

They tend to run out of ingredients by the end of the day, so come early and come with cash. Of all that I've tried my favorite was the Mahi Mahi tacos .

The poke and chips is my fave, closely followed by marlin. So good. They had to increase their prices this week but they continue to be reasonable for the pile of deliciousness you get.

Lucky

All the tacos are great. The hot sauces are tasty and the service is A+. The Jamaica is a great drink to accompany the tacos .

Farz

Actually worth the hype! Tacos are filling and delicious. The baja fish is huge and they don't skimp on toppings :)

Natalia Kataoka

Always with long lines , but worth it. Tried the Baja Fish and Gobernador . So good! One is plenty.

Maryann

Love The Gobernador. I also liked the place’s atmosphere. The cooks are always singing and upbeat ????????

Rosaline

Really great value . Surprising packed tacos - the gobernador was excellent. I also had the pork burrito which was disappointing. For lunch , 1 taco was enough for me (a girl). Space is really small.

Francis Benoit

Great and very generous tacos ! Great places to share tacos with friends. But there's no place to sit so it must be on-the-go!

Heather Li | 李小倩

Huge tasty helping of ceviche on a tostada that stands up to all the liquid: it was still crisp in the center even though we waited to eat it after our tacos .

Charles Law

It's worth the lineup. The octopus , mahi mahi , and vegan cactus taco are delicious, but you can't go wrong with any order.

Ian Leung

Excellent seafood tacos . Blackened mahi is great. Ceviche is excellent. Octopus was kinda weird.

Erin

Bit of a wait and it was hot. Tried the Gobernador and Octopus tacos . Really big, full tacos - so much so that the shell on the pulpo fell apart . But the tacos were good. Not much room for seating.

Lauro André

Chicken grill tacos are so flavoured, they’re delicious as shrimps tacos ! Best I’ve ever tried in Toronto!

Foodie58

Mahi Mahi taco , made with a dry spice rub is a knockout!Also try one of the Agua frescos.. hibiscus and strawberry were two of the flavours on offer today

Desmond Foo

The octopus (pulpo ) taco was my favorite, over the gobernator and the mahi-mahi.

Carl Desautels

Come here, and then come back for the rest of the menu

Mandy Poon

mahi mahi is my favorite, tacos are solid and portions are generous. ceviche is huge and delicious. come hungry

yvonnnneeee

octopus ,blackened mahi mahi and the carnitas :) have the sauces as well !!

Kimi Gerami

Tried chicken taco and tortillas with guacamole . All perfect

Darcy

Easily the best fish tacos in Toronto. Beware the "hot" sauce however. My mouth & head were on fire after 3 scoops. Was still worth it though.

Ben Wedge

Carnitas and Gobernador tacos were both delicious. Try the hibiscus drink too!

Simran Dass

Loved the Gobernador & Pulpo tacos . Will be coming back

Serious Eats

Tiny seafood taco shop doles out massive flavor in Kensington Market . Be prepared to take your food to go.

Kviksilver

Wow, awesome tacos ... Grilled octopus is the best...

Trevor Wideman

Mahi Mahi tacos are something special. The Habanero salsa will eviscerate your innards the next morning, so be warned.

Anissa Hart

I had the catch of the day (steelhead trout ) and it was amazing! Highly recommend!

Yao Huang

Delicious tacos ! Not to be missed if you happen to be in Kensington Market .

David Falcao

The Gobernador was the best taco I had in my whole life. Flawless.

Sharon Fung

The octopus is so juicy. Shrimp is very spicy and mahi mahi was so flavourful

Charles Chan

Had the blackened Mahi Mahi ... Damn good. Little bit of a wait if busy, but well worth it

Gabriel Seah

This taco place has a more creative menu than usual. The taco shells, though soft, were very oily, which might bother some.

Tara R

great flavours, everything is super fresh. definitely try the fresh juice too!

Prashant Bavi

Everything- seriously all tacos are good!! Try their hot sauces to transform your tacos

Arturo Cardenas Martinez

You should be able to throw a dart at their menu and eat whatever dish it hits! (Aim at the gobernador one)

Nishan Kumaravel

What’s good here..tacos uh tacos tacos tacos

Mitchell Butler

I get the baja fish and the carnitas when I can only choose two.

Dounia

My favourite lunch spot of all time. Definately worth your while

Skeeter

Two tacos are probably enough. Three if you're starving.

Jackie G

Such a great spot! Impressed even this hardened New Yorker :)

Leo Gonzales

Really good tacos . Portions were massive, in my opinion.
