Lively, fully gluten-free Mexican spot with standout tacos and churros, small plates, tight quarters, and policies that can frustrate larger groups.
El Pocho delivers exceptional food quality anchored by standout tacos, ceviche, and gluten-free churros that justify its strong reputation among repeat diners. Solid service attentiveness and appealing neighborhood charm support the grade, though cramped seating and variable service speed prevent grade A territory. Best suited for small groups and those who embrace the share-plate, cozy-bar experience.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (many items C$11.5-15) which may surprise casual diners
