El Nahual Mexican Food - Toronto

Hidden in an alley is this tiny authentic take out Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious and the service is very friendly and efficient. Great value! Three authentic Mexican tacos for $10. This place is nothing like the fast food Mexican chains that you can find on every block. We'll be back.

A group walked in for a quick lunch. The staff were very friendly and pleasant, and helpful when we were placing our order.Everything (including the tortillas) are hand-made to order! I've never seen that outside of Mexico. True, it took a bit longer to get our food than grabbing a sub or a slice of pizza, but wow was it worth it! Between the four of us we tried most of the taco varieties, and everyone was very happy with their selections. Of particular note....Fish taco: Nice dense meaty fish, with a lovely light batter. Far better than most I've had.Chicken taco: Mole was excellent, one of the best I've had (and apparently the recipe came from the owner's mother.) Not overdone with the cacao, rather a lovely subtle flavour.Thoroughly enjoyable lunch from start to finish.

Look for the hole in the wall with the most basic white sign reading "Mexican food" in black letters.

Hole in the wall in the middle of no where - literally_but wow! shrimp and fish tacos are totally delish with a hibiscus drink.

Hole in the wall with limited seating and it was a bit of hard to find to the location because of construction happening in the area.
