About Gus Tacos' Rise in Toronto
Gus Tacos began in 2020 as a small counter called La Chilaca in Kensington Market, founded by cousins Emilio and Augustine Morales. Since then, the brand has expanded across Toronto and the GTA, now operating nine locations. The chain is recognized for bringing traditional Mexican food to various neighbourhoods in the region.
