The real deal! Been searching for great Mexican and this is it. The quality of the meat is very high. It's cooked perfectly so that the al pastor and suadero are juicy and seared and flavorful, but not dry or rubbery. There's a little fat for flavor but no gristle. And the chilaquiles!!! Made with excellent tomatillo salsa, the perfect amount to make the chips soft but not too soggy. Chicken on top was moist and flavorful, in generous portion. Fried quesadilla was almost like a soft gordita, with fluffy masa fried for a little crunch on the outside, not greasy. Good tinga flavor too. Everything was so good that we turned around and went back to get more tacos for dinner. I grew up with Mexican food and it's been hard to find something this delicious around. Thank you Itacate!!!

Best Mexican food I’ve had since going to CDMX. Taco fillings are generous and tortillas are sweet. Best Mexican in Toronto for sure

Authentic Mexican spot on St. Clair. Tacos are $8 each. Meat portion sizes are huge! Would recommend the carnita and pastor.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food photos! We got the Volcan, Al Pastor and Chorizo Tacos.Perhaps THE spot to go for authentic Mexican tacos on St. Clair is Itacate, and matched all my expectations from watching food videos in Mexico. The corn tortilla is double layered and toasted to bring out a subtle corn aroma, encompassing a generous portion of protein in each taco. You can't go wrong with any choice, but my favourite were the carnitas that marry the juicy umami of fatty pork with the fragrant chew of the leaner bits, that melt in your mouth for an indulgent savory taste.

I absolutely loved this authentic place! Staff is welcoming. Cute family business and nicely decorated place.The tacos here are yummy, and my top picks are definitely the steak and shrimp ones (my partner liked one of the pork tacos as well). Also, that orange sauce is incredibly spicy. Highly recommend!Also, don’t forget to have a Mexican soft drink there!

The worst service ever, the guy who is the cashier, looks like he is forced to work. The food was really good though.
It was SO GOOD. Everything we ordered was a hit and my favourite was the Pastor, it was so damn juicy and Smokey. Both salsa roja and verde were constant refill cause they’re perfectly spicy and extremely addictive. $8-$10 for a taco is pretty is steep but they’re huge and price includes tip and tax so it’s definitely worth it! Note that we went around 630pm and the tres leches were already sold out :(
