Popular booking platform reveals Toronto’s best Mexican food spots

A major player in Canada’s food scene just released its picks for Toronto’s top Mexican restaurants.

OpenTable, a resource for finding and booking restaurants nationwide, just announced its best-of-the-best for Mexican food within the Toronto core.

OpenTable covered as much ground as possible, specifically accounting for bookings and reviews left on their platform.

First on the list is Quetzal, this favourite on College, is renowned as a go-to spot for the city’s west end.

Featuring an insane lineup of dishes, from fresh-as-it-gets ceviche, octopus and charred pineapple pork al pastor, if you’re looking for something elevated but delicious, this is the place.
