Planeta Mexico - York

The food here is great. Pretty authentic as far as Mexican goes in the GTA. The actual building is a little run down, but its a good place to eat with a few friends. Very small inside, and the patio is small as well. The seats and tables on the patio aren't the most comfortable, but the food makes up for the actual restaurant. Try the Mexican corn! Their "10 tacos for $20" deal is great too.

Got carried away with the live Mexican music. Food was not the great but a good environment with the live music. Good for dates or just to relax and have some bites.

We were seated inside the restaurant at a table that had a perfect view of the performer’s area too. I was pleasantly surprised that such a small restaurant would have a stage for someone to play live music. Alas, this wasn’t a night of scheduled performances so the stage was left empty.The Guacamole Ranchero was a traditional mashed avocado dip served with tortilla chips and salsa. This arrived with some of the tortilla chips placed separately in another basket. Meanwhile, the mashed avocado dip was a really big portion surrounded by a select few tortilla chips which made it look like a beaming sun. It was a neat way to serve the Guacamole Ranchero. I felt that this Guacamole Ranchero was a little too sour for my taste. There was a lot of tomatoes, lemon juice, and onions in it for sure and they sure didn’t skimp out on the avocado either. The tortilla chips were extremely crunchy and crispy.All of their entrées were served with Mexican rice, refried beans, and pico de gallo with a choice of green (mild), red (medium), or aztec (spicy) sauce. I chose the Enchiladas. I chose medium heat for my sauce. The Enchiladas included three rolled tortillas stuffed with a choice of chicken, beef, pastor, veggies, steak, fish, or shrimp. It was served with mozzarella, sour cream, and feta. For my order, I chose fish. The red sauce turned out to be a little spicy, with the heat lingering for a little while after the first bite.The refried beans were pretty good. I especially liked how there were a few tortilla chips stuck into the refried beans which not only made its presentation a nice one but also the chips were thus warmed up and less crunchy as a result (the chips were actually too crunchy for my taste). The tomatoes in the pico de gallo were fresh. I found that the Enchiladas were a little soggy especially with the already soggy-tasting fish inside the rolled tortilla. Otherwise, I did like the mozzarella and sour cream on top of it.The Taco a la Parrilla also was served with Mexican rice, refried beans, and pico de gallo with a choice of sauce. This entrée included three soft tacos stuffed with a choice of chicken, beef, pastor, veggies, steak, fish, or shrimp. K chose shrimp for this one.This plate was again very colourful and I loved the look of it. I enjoyed the shrimp in the tacos in this one more. The shrimps were grilled nicely and had some flavour to them. The soft taco shells weren’t to my liking; I found them too soft and grainy.

Catching up with some old friends for dinner in Unionville, we ventured into Planeta Mexico.An old house on the main street, with bright Decor , and a variety of sombreros, including several you can wear at your table, made for some laughs before dinner.Guacamole was just so-so.I had a beef chimichanga that was outstanding. Most Mexican dishes come with rice and refried beans. The rice served up was delicious, almost crunchy, and the refried beans were excellent as well. The others had fish tacos, and A fajita style dish that arrived sizzling at the table. It's not showing on the menu but was delicious and they raved about it.Service was friendly, and we certainly were not rushed. ( we dined midweek in march , not the busiest time for union villa If you like Mexican, this place is definitely worth a visit.

A lovely gem in Unionville. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff are friendly and attentive. The price is on par with other area restaurants.
