Puerto Bravo

This place is amazing. If you like seafood, or taco, or both, you have to try here. Scallops in a sauce (tradito de scallops) and raw shrimp tostada (aguachile) were sooo good. Absolutely gorgeous. And seafood birria... OMG. Tigre de leche saude made it so flavorful. Loved every piece of it. This place is a heaven for seafood lovers.

Lovely small mexican restaurant in the neighborhood. Their seafood taco is really good. The shrimp and octopus tacos are must tries

I have had some good tacos but MY WORD.... Puerto Bravo's has to be THE BEST I've ever tried.... The Camarones Bravos was literally out of this world GOOD. Every bite just made me stop and take a moment to savor the flavour. I also tried the guacamole and not only was it delicious, it was such a generous amount too; there was enough for 4 of us to share and still have some left to take home. The margarita 🍹 was mixed to absolute perfection. Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend Puerto Bravo.

Puerto Bravo is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever had the pleasure of dining at. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by warm and inviting staff who make you feel like family. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, with a decor that beautifully captures the spirit of Mexico. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish feels authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The tacos are a standout—perfectly seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and handmade tortillas that make all the difference. Their ceviche is another must-try: light, tangy, and packed with fresh seafood. What really sets Puerto Bravo apart, though, is the attention to detail. Whether it's the quality of the ingredients or the friendly service, you can tell that a lot of care goes into everything they do. If you're a fan of Mexican cuisine or just love discovering amazing restaurants, Puerto Bravo is a must-visit. It’s the kind of place you’ll keep coming back to—and recommend to everyone you know!

Really very good tacos. Generous portions and rich flavours. The service was friendly and unrushed - I nice patio to enjoy a Corona and eats.

Me gusta la comida de Mexico... These tacos at Puerto Bravo on Gerrard are the best marisco tacos I've had in Toronto. Super authentic, flavorful, and served on corn tortillas. Plus great service. This will tide me over until I'm back in Mexico City.

Ordered a camarones taco and a pulpo one. Both outstanding. Horchata was super refreshing and the Carlota dessert divine. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Went back two days later because couldn’t stop thinking about it!

We absolutely loved the atmosphere and service, but sadly the food was not to our taste. Our fish tacos had just mashed potato and didn’t have any flavor whatsoever. A bit disappointing for $22 per 3 small tacos. We so wanted to like it because of its convenient location, cleanliness and friendliness.🤷‍♀️

This was on the Michelin recommended guide, and they were not wrong!! This meal was delicious. Located in India town, this cozy restaurant had a quaint Mexican restaurant vibe - something you'd never expect! I ordered the Toradito de Scallops and it was fantastic...I highly recommend getting this. I also got the fish tacos which were good too. I loved how they included chips with their dip! It was a bit spicy but had a real kick to it. Overall, a great restaurant with good service. A hidden gem in Toronto!

When a restaurant is recommended by the Michelin guide and Suresh Doss, you make your way over there post haste. And so it was that we showed up at around lunchtime on a recent Saturday. It's a small restaurant with just a few tables, but we were early enough that we snagged a table near the back. Everything on the menu sounded completely delicious, but we decided to share a few things: Guacamole ("Avocado, Lime, Cilantro, Jalapeño, Chips"): The simplest of dishes, this guacamole actually fares better than most others. The avocado flavor is really highlighted here and the homemade tortilla chips are the perfect complement. It's a generous helping that we wolfed down over the course of the meal. Wera Tostada ("Octopus, Shrimp, Macha Mayonnaise, Pico de Gallo, Avocado, Salsa Macha"): This was recommended in the Michelin write-up so obviously we had to try it. And it's absolutely incredible. All the flavors work so well together, and the octopus is cooked shockingly well. (There's nothing rubbery or tough about this octopus, that's for sure.) I loved this dish so, so much. Carne Asada Taco ("Grilled Beef, Asadero Cheese, Onions, Cabbage, Radish, Avocado Salsa, Red Salsa"): This is a pretty standard taco order that's elevated considerably by its superior ingredients. I've eaten plenty of carne asada tacos over the years and this ranks right up there with the best. I can't say enough good things about my meal at Puerto Bravo. I'll definitely be returning.

Note: This review is for delivery, so likely wasn't as good as dining-in. Thought Puerto Bravo was pretty good though not special. Got three things: dorados de pescado, pulpo al carbon, and street corn. The pulpo was exquisite - tender and tasty. The dorados de pescado was on the blander side - would've wanted more flavour without having to resort to the dipping sauce. And the streetcorn was pretty good - lots of cheese which I appreciated. Overall pretty good. Given the praise I hear about this place, suggest dining-in versus delivery.

Absolutely delicious - I see the reason this Mexican spot received a Michelin BIB listing! Had the octopus and shrimp tacos which were amazing (2 others in our group had the shrimp and they agreed it was the best). 2 got beef and they thought it was a bit dry but my tacos were moist, saucy, flavourful! Highly recommend.

Awesome tacos. Service was quick and friendly. The set up is very casual. Hard to believe it's a Michelin restaurant.

Delicious! We ate the shrimp taco, octopus taco, shrimp tostada and Dorado. Everything was amazing! The hot sauce is to die for. My favorite mexican spot in Toronto.
