Dos Mariachis - Aurora

Small and simple decor but excellent, fairly authentic food. Try their Chimichangas and their Cactus Salad. Very friendly service. Family-run.

Having travelled throughout Mexico I am always a little sceptical about Mexican restaurants closer to home. They always have to make compromises in terms of the ingredients that are available in Canada versus the fresh, authentic, traditional recipe items down there. This restaurant was surprisingly good. At first I was taken aback by the tortilla soup I had as a starter as I just saw a broth with tortilla strips and none of the avocado pieces, shredded chicken, sour cream or pasilla chiles that are often included. I warmed up to the savoury broth however the more that I tried it. For a main I had the beef burrito and it was delicious and filling. The owner/chef came out to speak with us and was very personable and anxious to know that we liked the food. He is from Guatemala but lived in Mexico City and got his training and cooking experience there.

Mexico is my home-away-from-home. The food here is authentic, fresh and delicious, I've been enjoying their food since they were at the Aurora's Farmer's Market

We have eaten here 3 times and every time it was excellent. This is a small casual restaurant with about 10 tables and Mexican themed decor and food. We received a complimentary basket of corn tortilla chips and homemade salsa. It was a small amount but enough to whet the appetite without being too filling. We have tried the tacos, burritos and enchiladas. Some items come with rice and beans as sides. All were freshly made and authentic. (There is a lot less cheese used here then you would find at Taco Bell!)The service was fast and the owner was very attentive. Prices are good. We have tried several Mexican restaurants in York Region and Toronto. For authenticity, freshness and quality ingredients, Dos Mariachis has been the best we have found.

Authentic food and excellent service. We have a Type 1 Diabetic child and chef/owner always comes out to check that our requests for her have been met.
