Our Story
Los Gyros was born from a passion for authentic Mexican flavors and a desire to bring the vibrant spirit of Mexico to the heart of North York. The founders, inspired by the bustling taquerías of Mexico City, envisioned a place where people could experience the rich traditions of Al Pastor tacos the signature dish that defines the soul of their kitchen.
The idea for Los Gyros started long before its doors officially opened. The owners, originally from Mexico, spent years perfecting the art of slow-marinated meats, fresh tortillas, and bold, authentic salsas. Their dream was to bring a slice of home to Canada, offering handcrafted tacos, tortas, and nachos made with the same passion and authenticity found in the bustling streets of Mexico.
The name "Los Gyros" reflects the unique cooking technique behind Al Pastor a marinated pork dish inspired by Lebanese immigrants who brought the shawarma-style rotisserie method to Mexico. Over generations, this technique evolved into the beloved trompo-style tacos, where juicy, spiced meat is carved straight from the rotating spit and topped with fresh pineapple, onions, and cilantro.
Building a Home for Authenticity
When Los Gyros finally opened at 816 Sheppard Ave W, North York, ON, it was more than just a restaurant it was a celebration of heritage, flavors, and community.
