I ordered the taco platter with smoked chicken and beef. I liked that :)The meat was well-cooked, and the side was delicious. The service was excellent, but it was a little expensive.

This was an unexpected find! It’s a little place with a lot of personality. There were 2 people working at the time and they were both very friendly. I ordered the classic taco platter and was not disappointed. The portion was big and the presentation was so nice! They also have a wide selection of beers and tequilas to help wash everything down. If I’m ever in the area I’ll definitely pay a visit.

Had a nice lunch at Taco Farm.The food had good flavours and tasted fresh. The highlight was the Mexican corn with cheese, it had a nice touch of citrus to brighten things up.It wasn't too busy and they seemed to have enough staff but service was a tad unattentive.

Tried this place with a group of friends. Their vegetarian alternative to their fish and meats is a roasted buffalo cauliflower. Tried it in their enchiladas. Very pleasantly surprised. Large portions. Very fresh tasting ingredients. Different from any enchilada I've had in the past but really liked.

Pretty expensive for a argula taco and enchiladas .Not your usual mexican restaurant, didnt see any beans or corns or tomatoes . Meat substitute is cauliflower which tasted so lame.Got recommended by a frd but not happy .Burrito boys , mucho burrito or any other are more mexican than this local.Place no doubt looked sick and inviting . Staff was great . But food is no go for us

Was really underwhelmed tonight when we visited for the first time. We were seated immediately, the patio was super cute and the inside of the restaurant had some fun festive decorations.Unfortunately service was far and few between visits to the table, taking quite a long time to take our order and bring the food. We had hopes that tonight was a one-off, low staff or something causing the delays, however reading the recent reviews, can see that others also experienced the same poor service.We both ordered the classic taco platter with buffalo cauliflower. Once our food came out, we didn’t have cutlery and plates. We thought it was odd we had to request it.We noticed the 6 tortillas that we each got were 4” tortillas, and the bits of cauliflower were so huge that they didn’t fit on the taco shell. The portion sizes also did not match up with how many tacos we should have been able to make (salsa was lacking, only enough for 2/6 tacos, etc).For 2 drinks and 2 taco meals, it was over $70.Hoping management sees these reviews and implements some training or improvements. This place has potential, but just isn’t reaching the bar yet.It was all around not the greatest experience for us. The food was OK (cauliflower had clearly sat under a heat lamp as the sauce was dried up and cauliflower was cold) and our waiter didn’t ask how our meal was. It was just strange to us, as we enjoy dining out locally and haven’t experienced service like this before. Would love to come back sometime if the prices reflected the portion sizes and better service. We are happy to pay premium prices if the food and service align.

First the service was very friendly, it takes for ever to get your food( not the servers fault). We decided to order chips and guac thinking that we could munch on while we are waiting, we'll it took forever to get it. There was only one other table except ours, there was about 7 of the cooks lots of chatting not a lot getting things done. The guac was fantastic, the hibiscus margarita was very good, the fries supreme by itself is worth the detour , huge portion don't order the chicken tacos the chicken is not cooked low and slow and falling apart which makes it not really good . The beef tacos was good, the rice was cold and under seasoned (blend), stay away from the churros very greasy and taste like they fried a cake batter. I am willing to try them again

Taco farm is a must go to place. The staff are super nice and the food is spectacular. The gluten free options are better than other non gluten free places. The fried chicken was some of the best I ever had. Unfortunately didn’t take a picture of that. Check out and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

A nice little spot with a very chill ambience. The space inside is well spaced out and they do have quite a bit of Patio seating as well (uncovered).The place seemed under staffed as we did have to wait quite a bit before somebody attended to us and took us to our seats.They have a variety of frozen margaritas here. We tried the Mexican Mule (would definitely recommend) and the Mango margaritas. The drinks were really good and it's worth visiting for just the drinks, although it was quite pricey for the quantity.We had the Calamari El Diablo for the appetizers and it was delicious! The hot sauce that comes with it is pretty spicy. We loved it!For mains, we had the Taco platter and the Birria Tacos. Was quite excited to try this place for the Birria Tacos!The platter comes with 2 protein of your choice and we chose the smoked chicken and the grilled shrimps (highly recommended!). The frijoles were tasty and the salsa that came with it were good as well.The Birria Tacos came with Mexican rice. The rice was cold and it wasn't great, would have been better if the dish came without it. The beef shank was pretty good and went well with the birria consome. The birria consome/sauce by itself wasn't very flavourful. It definitely was underwhelming!We tried both the dessert on offer. The Mexican chocolate pudding was nice but our favourite was the Churros with dulce de leche. The churro seemed freshly made and it was great by itself but the dulce de leche definitely elevated it. You should definitely try it!We had to wait quite a bit for ordering the desserts as well as to get the bill even though the place was pretty empty.Overall the place is quite good and it has quite a variety of drinks, appetizers and Tacos to choose from and go back for, although the service leaves much to be desired.

To begin with, the service at this location is extremely terrible. First I thought that they are understaffed/busy which is probably why they are taking so long to attend us at the front door but over the course of our meal, the place got less busier and the service was extremely slow even when there were just a couple tables with customers. The staff seemed to be more busy chit-chatting amongst each other.However, the food, drinks & desserts here were pretty good. Some of my recommendations would be:Calamari El Diablo - this comes with a spicy sauce which is truly spicy; no kidding! We loved it because we love the heat.Mango Margarita & Mexican Mule - fantastic tasting drinks; would love to try others if I revisit.Churros with Dulce De Leche - OMG these were to die for!We also ordered the Birria Tacos and Taco Platter which were decent tasting. The Mexican chocolate pudding was good too but wasn't expecting to be spiced up.Their menu; especially the drinks seem to be expensive. Would recommend the place for the food but definitely keep your expectations for the service to bare minimum to avoid disappointment.There is very limited street parking around the place so expect to go around to find parking.

We were a little disappointed when going here. The food is usually really good, but the service was not so much so. We had my plate with the chicken tacos come almost 30 minutes before this dish with the beef came out. So both dishes ended up being cold... and only the broth was warm.. this was so disappointing. But I hear their churros are good, maybe we can try again with them and hopefully have a better experience.

If you want birria tacos then you should avoid this place. The broth was watery and lacked any flavour and the tacos themselves were bland. The fries were also pretty dry and tasted old. Overall was disappointed considering it was $22 for 3 tacos.

We love the food, but we sat for 30 min before we were acknowledged, 45 min for water, our order was an hour and showed up cold, drink orders when they came were wrong, they were understaffed and our waiter tried his absolute best but it was an awful experience. Even the bill took 20 min to show up. The focus was clearly on take out and not on anyone in the actual restaurant.

This restaurant is fantastic. The server was so friendly and helpful. The food was authentic, it honestly reminded me of Michoacán because of the salsa. I grew up in Southern California just an hour north of Mexico's border and this food takes you right back to my best friend's mother's kitchen. The portions remind me of home too. You're not done yet eat some more chips! Haha. I could tell the chips are made in house. They remind me of making them growing up. It's that good, seriously you won't be disappointed. The chiclet at the end is a perfect touch. (The person I was with hadn't heard of this so maybe many are naive to what this is but it made me miss home for real). You'll love this place for its ambience, warmth, food, and excellent customer service. Best Mexican in Canada! This isn't Tex Mex it's the real deal, and it tastes just like Home. A lot of people don't realize that Mexican food comes in many flavors. I think the Southern Sinaloa strong spice, or Tex Mex dominate Mexican cuisine, but when you live by the border you realize there's so much depth to food from Mexico. Perfect and thank you so much for this place!

We just enjoyed our first Taco Farm experience. Very friendly service and we were fed quickly even though it was pretty busy. Delicious chips, salsa, enchiladas, and taquitos. We love that the menu is very allergy-friendly, too. Highly recommend!
