La Toxica

We had a really great experience at La Tóxica!

The place is very nice & has a fun atmosphere, the music was great, & the waitresses were friendly & attentive. Our food didn't take long to arrive either, so overall the service was excellent.

The tacos were really good & MUCH bigger than we expected! They're very generous with the portions, & the meat had great flavor.

The only thing I wasn't completely in love with was the salsa. For my taste, it could use a little more flavor. They also give you only a few lime wedges with the tacos, but honestly, that's easily solved by asking for more. 😂

& the micheladas… absolutely delicious! Definitely one of the highlights.

We also tried the birria burrito, & the flavor was really good! The only thing is that I felt it was missing some of that traditional birria broth or juiciness. The meat was a little dry, so it felt more like shredded beef than the birria I'm used to. & as a Mexican, I have to mention the rice in the burrito 😂 I know all the ingredients are very Mexican, but in Mexico we don't usually put rice inside our burritos, so that part always feels a little strange to me! Still, it was tasty & we enjoyed it.

Overall, everything was wonderful: good food, generous portions, friendly service, great music, & a really nice atmosphere. We had a great time & would definitely come back! 🌮🍺

We were hungry & another nearby taco place was packed. La Toxica quickly sat us, & the vibe seemed good. We ordered birria tacos, chicken tacos e birria ramen. The food came out at the same time as our drinks…very quickly. The beef birria was catastrophically bland. Like unseasoned. Luckily the consommé had a bit of flavor, but these were not good. The birria ramen was okay - basically ramen noodles in consommé with some of the same flavorless beef. Not hugely impressed but it seems like they do good birthday business (there were 6-7 birthday sparklers over the 45 minutes we were there).

I went to the one in Chinatown, not really impressed. Dishes like carnitas nor pozole were available. They said only the one on Jean Talon serve these dishes. Dissatisfied & disappointed. Birria was salty, & is beef birria. On the other hand, tacos were good. Fresh fruit water was delicious. Service is good, friendly & helpful waitress. Good family ambiance. I probably will try the Jean Talon's restaurant. Looking forward to carnitas taste. I hope this will help you.

Two juicy beef birria tacos loaded with melty cheese, topped with fresh onions & cilantro, all wrapped in golden, pan-fried tortillas. Served with a side of rich, slow-cooked consommé - deeply savory, spiced to perfection, & made for dipping. Every bite is a flavor explosion. 😊

Love the quesadillas, specially the beef tongue & the campechana one. The waiters are always smiling & will trest you nicely. The buffet is a must do although for this one it may take a while to get as itnusually gets crowdy

Cool spot for some tacos. Who would've guessed, good tacos in Chinatown. The waitress was also very friendly & told us how to use the beef consomme. I recommend the birria tacos.

What a gorgeous find!! The food was so delicious & decently priced. I shared the guacamole & chips entree & the beef & cheese tacos that came with sides of limes & a soup/sauce to dip the tacos in. Absolutely tasty, the beef was so tender & juicy. The atmosphere is festive & is perfect to celebrate a birthday or just have a party. They have huge cocktails (margaritas,daiquiris,etc.) they even had a karaoke night while we were there plus Mariachis! Everyone working was so nice, what a great find!
