Great for happy hour
Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails

El Grotto is a good times bar & taqueria in Scarborough beach. We are a celebration of Mexico’s vibrant culture & rich flavours, bringing a slice of mex into Scarborough! Our menu is packed with all the Mex favourites like tacos, tostadas, and beachside snacks, always made in-house using fresh, local produce. Our back bar is filled independent agave straight from Mexico and cocktails are always delicious & seasonal with the classic Tommy's Margarita a crowd favourite!

Experience our love through food, drinks & music.
Come for some tacos, sip on mezcal & stay for a fiesta!

Great food, vibe and margs! Slightly short staffed though for the sheer volume of people they had coming in for the special Tuesday offer. Couldn’t clear tables quick enough & one poor girl running food by herself.

It was ok, food was good, quick and friendly service, very busy during happy hour. Music is loud so hard to have a conversation. Recommended for drinks and nibbles but not as a restaurant setting.

Have always enjoyed sunset moments with sensational margaritas here. Just a great local scabs spot that that is reliable when other venues come and go. Can't fault much on the offerings.
