Michelin Guide recommends trying the Wera tostada – a crispy corn tostada, layered with mashed avocado, thin slices of octopus, and shrimp tossed in a spicy macha mayo. Out in Toronto’s east end is this tight spot with a mighty menu. The smoky barbacoa with jalapeño salsa or the flaky, beer-battered haddock with red cabbage?

When thinking of eating cooked fish with grilled beef and melted cheese, there is only one dish that comes to mind. A post shared by Triofoodspammers (@triofoodspammers) That’s right, Ceviche, and this is exactly what La Cevichería is here to deliver.

La Carnita began as a humble pop-up taco shop and has since grown into a local favourite with four locations across Toronto.

The ingredients looked super fresh and colorful! The queso was so creamy and perfectly spicy (beware if you’re sensitive to heat because it has a bite). The chips were so crunchy and fresh too! Overall, a nice stop for a relatively quick & inexpensive meal. Compared to mexhico Gus’ Taco, Piñata has a much better vibe (Gus’ feels like McCraps too).

There are cooks in this city that are making authentic Mexican food that aren’t from Mexico.
