Chula Taberna Mexicana

Chula Taberna Mexicana brings a lively, vacation-style energy to Toronto’s Leslieville neighborhood. This two-storey Mexican restaurant is a prime destination for social groups seeking a festive atmosphere paired with an impressive selection of agave spirits. With three tequila bars and over 70 craft tequilas and mezcals on hand, the beverage program is a major draw. Guests can enjoy their drinks on two heated outdoor patios, each equipped with its own dedicated bar, making it easy to sip margaritas under string lights.

The menu accommodates diverse dietary needs by offering dedicated plant-based, gluten-free, and kids' options alongside traditional and modern Mexican dishes. For those planning larger gatherings, the venue features private event spaces that can host groups ranging from 20 to over 100 guests, all easily accessible near the Gerrard and Jones streetcar line.

While diners frequently praise the excellent music, vibrant vibes, and standout dishes like the birria tacos, some visitors note that the seating can feel a bit cramped during busy hours. Others have mentioned that while the food is delicious, the menu can feel somewhat limited for vegetarians, and prices can add up quickly. Overall, Chula Taberna Mexicana offers a fun, music-driven escape perfect for a casual night out with friends.
