z-teca Mexican Eatery (Yonge & Eglinton) — Restaurant in Toronto

I am a big time food explorer so decided to visit this place after checking remarkable google reviews. I must say they met my expectations really well. The food looked fresh, delicious to taste and appealing to the eyes. Worth mentioning the restaurant is super clean, hygienic and very well maintained (specially washroom which usually is in miserable condition in most of the fast food places). I was served by the restaurant manager itself and I really appreciate she took time to explain to the curious me. I was awestruck that the great customer service still exists. She explained it really well how they produce food in house. The way they use freshest ingredients to produce their salsas and sauces literally forced me to try some menu items when I was already full. Their in house preparation of guacamole with fresh avocados and their chipotle crema were great hit. She went beyond by choosing just onions from veggies when I casually told her I don’t like peppers, also took an extra effort to replace cilantro rice with the simple rice as I don’t like cilantro too. The kind of customer service they offer is impeccable, so friendly and helpful. Restaurant Manager seemed so passionate, helpful and knowledgeable about food and service. Kudos to the owner and team, would definitely recommend this place and visit again soon. Once again thank you so much for the wonderful experience which...

The 1st time I was at this place, I was ordering in person for the take out, and it was amazing, I fell in love with this place, veggie crumble burrito was on point!

So I was trying to come back again, though I live in further away. And today (Saturday, April 10th, 2024) after long day of work on my way home, I pre ordered 3 burritos over the phone, 30 min before the closing. When I tried it in the car, it was barely warm, not proportionate at all (the first 1/3rd of burrito was pure rice , then it was pure veggie crumble) and I just stopped eating it. Same thing was in other burritos.

I understand that it was half an hour before the closing, but I believe the quality of the food should not suffer that drastically, as I’ve paid $46 for 3 of those inedible burritos.

It is really unfortunate, that this location just became my favourite burrito place, and on the 2nd visit it became the worst.

One extra star is for those amazing girls who were making my first burrito!

Update: My partner tried to finish them, and one burrito was pure rice! I will attach photos with it. The second was mostly rice. Plus, I ordered 2 burritos with extra guac for $2.50 each, and...

My friend and I ate here last night. It was pouring rain, and everything else about the day was terrible, but the staff and food here made it all better. As an Asian, I rarely eat Mexican food and wouldn’t have tried this place if my friend hadn’t recommended it. But the food was amazing! The rice was perfectly cooked, and I loved adding corn and black beans as the base – so fitting for my eating habits and nutritious too. The Mexican chips were crunchy and not oily at all, unlike the usual unhealthy ones. We also got a small bag of churros, which were freshly made and reminded me of the ones in Madrid and also 油炸鬼/油條 from South China. Even though it’s a fast food place, it’s really good and worth every penny. The only downside was that we couldn’t get the tortilla soup my friend highly recommended, and that was why I wanted to go there in the first place. And it was only...
