Wilbur’s Taco Shop

What is Wilbur’s Taco Shop? Set at 50 Atlantic Avenue in Liberty Village, Wilbur’s Taco Shop is the relaxed sister taqueria to King West stalwart Wilbur Mexicana. Co-founders Will and Baird Cumberland and Steve Chan have outfitted the space with a California-Mexico border cantina feel, sporting checkerboard floors, stucco accents, spinning vinyl records, and a sun-soaked patio.

Wilbur’s Taco Shop Menu & What to Order The counter-service kitchen serves the greatest hits that made the King Street original a runaway success, led by the beer-battered mahi-mahi Baja fish taco loaded with crisp jicama slaw and chipotle crema. The Cali burrito—packed with carne asada and sweet potato fries—is an enduring favourite, while the crispy cauliflower taco and Mexican street corn ensure plant-forward eaters have stellar options. Round out the meal with a classic margarita or a can of Bellwoods craft beer and visit the self-serve salsa bar to dial in your preferred heat.

Know Before You Go Service is entirely walk-in and counter-order, so grab a table quickly during the busy 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. post-work rush when the patio hits capacity. The restaurant is easily accessible via the 504 King streetcar or a quick five-minute stroll north from Exhibition GO Station. Street parking along Atlantic Avenue is sparse, so taking transit or walking into the village is strongly advised.
