Great experience from start to finish food was fresh and came out fast. The bun was nice I was scared it was gonna be tough and chewy but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavours were beautiful. My only regret was the missing of pickles on the cubana sandwich. The churros were soft and more airy than I typically like but all and all it was a great meal. Definitely grab some house pickles jars and carrots! Limited seating
Food here is delicious and tasty... They have the best Tortas mexicanas in downtown Toronto, fresh made sandwiches Mexican style. The Flautas and the corn on the cob is a must try. Staff always very friendly, restaurant looks very clean and is well located in the heart of Kensington market. Worth a visit if you are hungry by Chinatown.
One of the best sandwiches I’ve had anywhere. Excellent bread and ratio of bread to filling was perfect. Flavors of each sandwich were amazing. Heavenly. Highly recommend
So authentic... so delicious! Especially, La cubana’s next level sandwich! Generally good selection mexican sandwiches.
The tortas were delicious! It feels super authentic and has a pretty big menu and little extras like a mini Mexican candy shop. The lemonade was fresh and bit too sugary. The staff were really friendly and the place has a cool vibe.
First of all when I walked in this place I immediately loved the vibe it was relaxed yet vibrant with the colourful decor and music. The Poblana sandwich was excellent. I didn't expect the bread to be so light, it went perfectly with the heavy fillings. The mole was flavourful, chicken moist, it worked so well. Every bite was an explosion of flavour. I'll be going back to try every single other sandwich.
Really good Latin food nestled into Kensington Market. This was my first time there and would definately go again. It's kind of diner-esque with a few tables. There were many options and we ordered a few different items to get a good taste of their offerings and every order was amazing.
We ordered the La Cubana and the Del Chavo. I really enjoyed the porky taste of La Cubana (Roasted adobo pork, ham, smoked bacon, gouda cheese, , tomato, avocado & house jalapenos). Great Quality Food. Great and Friendly Staffs! Over all it was a great visit. It was just a little challenging to find the spot. It is inside MILAGRO.
