374 Bathurst St
Good Hombres
Beer battered haddock is fried to a golden crisp and topped with pico de gallo, cabbage, chipotle mayo and avocado salsa.
12
100-171 E Liberty St

11
18 Tank House Lane
El Catrin
Serving traditional and modern Mexican cuisine, the folks at El Catrin know what they’re doing. Try their Baja fish with crispy fried haddock, coleslaw, chipotle lime aioli and cilantro on a delicious flour tortilla.
10
131 Roncesvalles Ave
CINCO Mexican Restaurant
Roncesvalles is more than a Polish neighbourhood. Amongst their vibrant neighbourhood is Cinco Mexican Restaurant, serving beer-battered pescado street tacos with chipotle and cabbage slaw.
9
552 King St W
Wilbur Mexicana
Don’t count this one out due to its quick-serve nature. This downtown street-food-centric joint is cooking up some of the best in town, along with their house-made chips and selection of condiments. Their beer-battered mahi-mahi topped with crunchy cabbage, pico de gallo and chipotle crema packs a punch of flavour.
8
14 Dupont St
Playa Cabana Hacienda
These Baja Sur tacos featuring fried white fish, chipotle aioli, Valentina, guac, sesame oil slaw and pico de gallo have a flavour combination that’s second to none.
7
689 Bloor St W
Tacos El Asador
Tacos El Asador is a no-frills, family-run restaurant serving Salvadoran and Mexican Food. The fish tacos here won’t disappoint.
6
106 John St
La Carnita - John
La Carnita has multiple locations, so there’s no excuse to pass them up. Their designs, made by local Toronto street artists, aren’t the only works of art -- their tacos are pleasing on the eyes as well. Choose from their In Cod We Trust or the Big Sur taco (made with crispy, corn-battered sea bass) -- either way, you’re sure to be satisfied.
5
504 Adelaide St W
Campechano Taqueria
Started by ex-Black Hoof and La Carnita veteran, the pescado taco here is another must-try. And make sure to try one of their margaritas to wash it down.
4
225 Augusta Ave
Tacos Gus
This top taqueria serves a pan-fried pescado taco stacked with guacamole, cilantro, onions and fresh pineapple.
3
291 King St W
Pancho y Emiliano
Originally from Oaxaca, Mexico -- Serena -- the head chef of this Kensington Market haunt, strives to maintain the taste of traditional Mexican cuisine with a modern twist. They work with local producers to source high-quality ingredients, which they put into dishes like their Baja fish tacos.
2
1330 Queen St W
Grand Electric
This fan favourite has been around for a bit, but that’s no reason not to test it out. Their battered white fish with morita salsa, cabbage, mayo and crunchy bits of radish will hit the spot.
1
69 Kensington Ave
Seven Lives
The best tacos in town can be found at this nondescript Kensington Market staple. Once a cash-only hole-in-the-wall with a chalkboard menu, this haunt can now be found on Uber Eats. Try their simple but delectable Baja fish tacos or any of their others. You can’t go wrong!
