z-teca Mexican Eatery (York Lanes)

I am actually surprised at all the bad reviews unless they have changed. I went here multiple times recently and honestly I can’t complain about the food quality. Good food, not terrible value.

The menu specified that the tacos are made with corn tortillas. When I ordered tacos they immediately tasted really weird and I started to feel sick almost right away. I asked the server if she was sure the tacos were corn, she at first refused to disclose the tortillas she used, insisting that they use both kinds. I finally got her to disclose the fact that she replaced my tortillas with the flour ones, but she insisted it was my fault caus i never specified I had an intolerance, I didnt think I had to , as the menu specified the tacos were made with corn tortillas. Anyways, be careful, the menu is deceptive and misleading and the place just gives shady vibes.

Yummy shrimp bowl. Great customer service

They make a really great veggie burrito bowl and the staff later in the evening is so sweet!! Lunch or dinner this place is great for both meal times and caters to vegans and vegetarians. The staff are more than happy to assist you with questions and always give you a great portion, however it is a bit pricey!

Extremely dissatisfied with the food and service, the staff was extremely rude and kept staring badly and rudely at us when we were asking for toppings…The taste of the sauce was too salty and the rice was bland, not cooked properly, wasted my money completelyIts been more than 3 months to this complain, the owner mentioned he wants to make it right but he hasnt done it yet

This place sent me and my friend to the hospital. As soon as we got there, the staff were very rude and hostile and weren’t giving us welcoming energy. As we placed our orders and went about picking our topics, they were very disrespectful and wouldn’t give us the toppings we were requesting, even after we explained that we understood that some toppings cost extra, and that we would pay the extra fee. They were judgmental, kept giving rude stares, and the tone of voice was absolutely harsh. Now when it came to the food, I was horrified. The most disgusting burrito, and burrito bowl me and my friend have ever ate. The chicken tasted rubbery, the beef tasted expired and watery, the rice was stale and tasteless, and all of it together just became a recipe for disaster. The food smelled and tasted old and rancid. Regardless we gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried the food. Automatically we knew that it was going to get us sick. We understood that they restaurant was not going to give us a refund anyways, especially since they were radiating cheap, stingy, and money hungry energy since the minute we stepped into the restaurant. Regardless, we still wanted to warn them of the problems, just so that they can try to fix it for next time, and so no one else gets old food. When we notified them of the problem we were faced with a very harsh reaction, in which they told us that we were the problem and the food was completely fine. Apparently we didn’t know what good food was, and that the food was not old, nor smelly, nor gone bad. We accepted our defeat and walked away, and as we left the restaurant the management continued to give bad stares and whispers. That following night, me and my friend both landed sick with EXTREME food POISONING, which landed us both in the Emergency Room. Absolutely disgusted with this place, and it’s so disturbing how this is the overpriced, and dangerous food that they are serving on a SCHOOL CAMPUS, where people are trying to learn. Avoid this place at all costs!!!

I had quesadilla form here I would say that Guac mexi grill has much better quesadillas then this . Must recommend to visit Guac mexi grill in Vaughan for good quesadilla

The food isn’t worth the price. It’s cold and stale, and the rice was hard. The chicken was very rubbery. The staff is also very dismissive. I went here with high hopes but left disappointed.

A bit of a mixed bag when I went. The food was decent and a better value than a lot of the other options on York's campus. The restaruant looked like it needed repairs with 2 broken tables and a wall that was messed up. The service was very slow, although the woman working the counter apologized and mentioned some unexpected problems they were running into that day. Fair enough. Overall one of the better options for food on campus, especially if they are able to make the repairs they already seem to be in the process of addressing.

Of all the franchised Mexican restaurants, this is by far the best. I'm frequently getting their bowls, and if you ask for extra helpings of their excellent salsas, they turn into truly delicious meals.
