Pastor Taco: Reviews & Ratings
Flavourful, juicy quesadilla and tacos coupled with sick vibes and awesome choice of music.
Loved the tacos and sangria, both delicious! Will have to try the burrito and quesadilla next time ) Great owner and a chill place to hang out to grab a bite and drink.
Just moved to the area and had to try the tacos - can NOT beat that price for the quality and flavour you get. Tried the nachos today and they are to die for. Fresh and flavourful!! Definitely a new favourite.
Great good and an extremely friendly owner and chef. Yes, the food is a little under seasoned but you just have to ask for salt and pepper and the owner will gladly oblige. The tacos came with pickled onions and herbs and it was delicious. He's also serving veggie chilli which is pretty great for vegetarians to have some options. The homemade habanero sauce is amazingly delicious and hot. He sells by the bottle and it's 10 which is incredibly affordable. We loved how green the whole place is. Gave it a nice ambiance even though it really is a hole-in-the-wall. The owner mentioned his plans for wine tasting. I wish him good luck.
Went in last night (Wednesday) with some friends for their pianist, paired with the oysters and wine it was an absolutely wonderful experience. I also got a quesadilla which was excellent. I read the other reviews and I’m going to assume that our friends have not been to Latin America and they were expecting something similar to what you would find in the USA - not traditional tacos. These are more like traditional tacos with a simple meat, bit of toppings on a wee tortilla, just like in the south. I had it with the house hot sauce and BAM that stuff is top notch. Wonderful little bar if you are local and sounds like it’s a great spot for lunch!
Was driving by on my way home from softball and the name drew me in. While they don’t have pastor tacos, I got the pork and the chicken and they were both delicious - a good little kick with great flavour. Also appreciate the bed of Doritos the tacos are served on. Kept the tacos upright and absorbed the moisture so the tacos weren’t soggy. Cool atmosphere, friendly staff and customer. Good vibe all around - will be back!
I got the 2 chicken 2 pork option for 10.50 and it was so good! Big fan of having many different sauces and toppings as well as the microgreens and tortilla chips on the side! Very good value and so delicious! Definitely will be back for more
I recently catered from here and it was an excellent experience. The owner (Wes) was brilliant. He was super helpful and kind from the get go. He really blew everywhere else I reached out to out of the water. The food was incredible. He made some custom veggie options for the non-meat eaters. They gave us plenty of sides and everything was packed perfectly for easy access and serving. I would highly recommend!
