Tasty food! Great place to meet with friends. Lots of the appetizers are easily shareable - i really liked the esquite. The birria stew I ordered was good but not as flavourful as other birria I've had. Our server was polite and nice. The whole menu looks good so I'd definitely try this place more than once.

Fresh tacos & nachos with a michelada!! The service was very helpful and was able to seat us even without any reservations. The restaurant usually gets completely booked, so I would recommend making a reservation. The waiter was very helpful with food substitutions as well.
As for food...lots of choices here but you cannot go wrong with Baja tacos! Fresh ingredients, served hot, with a variety of hot sauces! The food is reasonably priced as compared to other restaurants in the city.

I first ate here last year while visiting Halifax. I liked it so much, I came back again during another recent trip to Nova Scotia. While the prices are a tad pricey (this eatery is located in a prime tourist zone), I was still happy to eat here with my family, as I found the food delicious, the service efficient and friendly, and the decor a lot of fun.
Our waitress was also very helpful in giving us tips on places to visit in the city. Indeed, thanks to our server, I was able to discover a wonderful children's bookstore.

We didn't go inside so can't say much about that but outside seating was great...our waiter was lacking on asking if we needed another drink so we were empty so a period of time but seemed busy so nothing major but the food...drool...my daughter loved her nachos and wife lived her burrito but I had the jalapeños popper burger with taco salad and the burger for me would be in my top 3 of all time. The taco salad was so fresh tasting and the fish taco was so good I ordered a second....definitely a place we will be going back to when we go back to Halifax.

I haven’t tried a lot of Mexican restaurants in Halifax but I was extremely happy with Antojo! All our dishes were perfect and were extremely good price wise. All items were prepared very swiftly!
The nachos were baked to the crisp! The tacos too seemed to be the show stealer(understandably given their name). I had the Chicken Quesadilla personally this time to try something different (I’m more of a burrito guy) and definitely loved it. The chicken stuffing was delicious. Only nit pick would be it wasn’t as spicy as I wished for but they had an assortment of sauces on our table which was useful for me.
The atmosphere is perfect if you’re out and looking to have a nice relaxing time. Good music, nice vibes and importantly fantastic food. Definitely earned a permanent spot on my Halifax list of restaurants!

Hey family,
Here's my honest review of Antojo tacos & tequila.💀 I visited with my wife for some dinner and had an excellent dining experience. Below is my full review:
Parking can be a little tricky so we decided to find a paid parking lot and walked over. Parking was about $6 so keep that in mind. Upon entry we were immediately greeted and opted to sit inside.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a nice bar and offers plenty of seating. We decided to sit in the back where it was a little bit more quiet.
We ordered tacos (tinga, pastor and cauliflower) the tacos were delivered within minutes and they were absolutely delicious. The serving size is on the smaller end however the quality and taste makes up for the smaller portion.
Overall we enjoyed our dinner. We stayed for about 2 hours and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for that mexican taste
We're giving this a 5/5 stars

Tacos and margaritas. Perfect lunch.
I ordered 1 carnitas and 1 al pastor taco.....then I asked about the beef tongue. The bartender told me that it was actually the staff favorite so I had to try it. Surprise surprise...It was the best one. Highly recommend. You just have to get past the idea that you're eating something that can taste you back.

We went here on our first night in town, on a Saturday night. We were welcomed and seated quickly. There are a lot of food and drink choices. The waiter worked with our requests - no refried beans, or cilantro.
We ended up ordering 4 tacos (chicken and Baja fish) and 1/2 chicken nacho plate for 2 people. I prefer the Baja fish taco, but both tacos were delicious! The 1/2 nacho plate was flavourful and the chicken was tender. This was definitely enough for 2 people. The waiter often checked in to see if we needed anything else. If given the opportunity, I would definitely dine in again!

This place was amazing, great vibe, great food and great service. The chips are made there and delicious. I had the guacamole e chips and was so full! Good size serving.great vegan options.

We had wonderful experience. We ordered burrito mozada and Chicken enchiladas. Enchiladas was the best that I’ve ever tried in canada. Burrito mozada was also good but lacked taste however the good part was the sauce that restaurant offers. 4 different sauces made my day and they were perfect and gave different spicy taste to the burrito.
Now the best part was our server: Mckayla, she was really nice and attentive. Throughout our time in the restaurant, she was 10 out of 10 (to be honest I can give 20 out of 10 for her wonderful service). Please keep up your work because it made our visit memorable.

This place has a really chill and comfortable vibe and their tacos and Margaritas are excellent. I devoured one of the tacos and more than half the Margarita before having the sense to snap a pic... yes... that good!
Salomé Menu
Amazing frozen margarita. We got the Berries and hibiscus frozen margarita and it was delicious.
Our server was good and the food was great.
The ambiance is fun and the service was quite fast when you consider the size of the restaurant.

Hola’, this place is authentic mexican cusine. The atmosphere is spot on with sugar skulls everywhere. The music takes the ambiance to the next level. The staff are attentive, prompt and professional. Big thanks to the bartender David for all the right choices. They know right when to engage and at what part of the meal. Kudos to the staff for doing the ballet as intended. On to the food. The food was extremely flavorful and authentic. The drinks were spot on and brought back memories of my last Mexico vacation. I only have great things to say and can recommend this place whole heartedly. I will be back… till then.

I came here with since colleagues of mine after I suggested 'Mexican'. The restaurant was packed so we sat on the patio. The menu is authentic, well authentic to me. This is not your typical Taco Bell. Service was excellent as with a lot places in the HRM. The server was knowledgeable and suggested items for us. I also tried a frozen Margarita which was pretty excellent. I could actually taste the tequila. The different dips they had were very flavorful. I can't recall the names of them but they were very good. I got the tacos. I tried the beef tongue, pork belly, and beef. Nachos to start. Warm tortillas served with chunky salsa. I'll definitely be back again.

The food was absolutely delicious! The drinks and food are priced well and they gave a covered terrace incase it raina or you can eat inside.
Service was great and friendly!
I would definitely return when I'm back in town and highly recommend this place as it was recommended to me by someone else!

Such a good experience, went here last night on a date and had the best time. Our server was great, food was delicious and so were the drinks. There were also TONS of gluten free options. Such a cute spot and there was a Christmas cactus 🌵 so fun. Will definitely come back!

Very enjoyable environment. Servers are amazing. Got a seat near the kitchen. Loved to see funny acts between servers😂 . Food was amazing and great menu options. Some might be a little tough to eat with a knife and fork but can’t do anything about this. Our server was very accommodating. I felt sauces could’ve been better. Pricing I felt was a little too reasonable since even fast food restaurants have the same price for burritos. Overall amazing experience and would totally recommend. Also, the elderflower lemonade was out of this world.
Matthew Dubé
Food was great! The service was friendly and very fast considering how busy it was. We sat in the patio and it was gorgeous out.. as it got a little chilly outside in the evening they turned on the patio heaters and it was extremely pleasent. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some authentic Mexican cuisine and a great atmosphere.

Was in the city on Monday for a concert and made reservations ahead of time with friends. I had been following it as it was being built/opening and was really excited for some legit Mexican food. The atmosphere and service was on point, as well as the presentation of the food. I had the ribeye app and myself and two other friends shared three different types of tacos. Although we all thought the al pastor was the best, we also all agreed (along with the other 4 people with us) that there was a definite lack of flavour and seasoning in almost everything, which was disappointing. I'm a chef of 15 years and know how important seasoning food is and I was expecting to be hit in face with flavour. In no way did the food taste bad we just found that it was middle of the road.
Bree Caldwell
The service and atmosphere were wonderful, but the tacos we got were really terrible (both pork options). I never write reviews, but this was the worst food I have ever eaten at a restaurant. I wanted so badly to like it, but the smell was overwhelming and the taste was even worse.
Adrienne Walsh
The food was SO good! We were all very happy with everything we ordered! The service was great and we didn’t wait very long for our meals-and with a toddler, that’s key! I recommend you call ahead to book a table though-we had a cozy dinner of 5 in a booth. My one suggestion for the restaurant is to work on a kids menu-ordering a full plate for my 3 year old was a bit of a waste. We’ll be back for sure!
John Snow
the staff , the place ,,, and the service was top notch.... the food something else to be desired.... I don't know how long they been open lets hope it improves.... also menu poor selection, needs more options. will wait a whule and try again might have been just an off night

I'm admittedly hard to please but this place knocked it out of the park.
Insanely fast service.
Authentic, chef inspired Mexican food. I was particularly impressed by the range of in house made sauces on the table.
Cool atmosphere - inviting and classy without being pretentious.
A new favourite for sure. Halifax needed a place like this.
Wayne LeBlanc
Beautiful place, atmosphere and great staff. The food, we had tacos 🌮, were delicious !! The drinks were very good but just a bit pricy🍹 !!!
Karla Cordova
We had visit Antojo 5 times since they open and I love the place , the food and the customer service is beyond Amazing. Always a pleasure and I can’t wait for my next visit / Thumbs up to Francisco the chef that provide us a full explanation about the different tacos and flavours
Renata Cardoso
I went there because I was craving for Ceviche but what bad surprise I had. My ceviche came with almost no fish on it. We could barely see micro pieces of it under that pickles, onions and carrots salad they served me...The place is great decorated, nice place, nice team as well. I had tried once their ceviche sample and it was fabulous. When I went there last Wednesday looking for it I got really pissed. �
Ruthann Oliver
My friend and I had the Red Chile Mole. I have to say it was one of the best things I have eaten. The chicken was moist, the skin crispy, the veg/potatoes were cooked perfectly as well. The mole sauce was the perfect compliment to the food. The churros were perfect. The Patron Anejo was excellent. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. The decor is warm and inviting. Love the washrooms. Alex is a patient, knowledgeable waiter who took very good care of us. Thanks I'll be back again soon.
Michelle Blagdon
The atmosphere was fun, service was very prompt- a little too prompt as they brought the appetizers and main courses at the same time . Portion size was good (not small but also not large). Quality of the food was excellent and all things we ordered were delicious. This is a very casual restaurant, but with some mid to higher range pricing. Dinner for 2 with a couple of drinks will cost you $100 or more plus tip. That being said, we all had a good time and we will come back. �
Chana Redmond
I was there for Taco Tuesday.. First time there and the atmosphere is awesome and festive a great place to gather with friends I think.. I had some tacos and an amazing Margarita!! The only thing I would say about the tacos is they should be a bit warmer.. I think Id have enjoyed them more. But Ill be back for sure!!
Fred Stillman
Great spot. The food is excellent and the service is as well. Definitely a winner for downtown Halifax.
