excellent place, exactly what I thought it would be. It is a small dirty spoon/butcher place. I went here with my friend who came from Belo Horizonte (brazil) 3 months ago. Empanadas are what they eat there for fast food, and many things in here reminded him of home.
They have a very wide selection of stuff you might find in a food stand in south america, we had empanadas, a chicken ball, and a brazilian dessert cookie. I liked everything we had here and my buddy said it was made just like they did back home.
Prices are cheap, most things are well under $5 and the sizes of the things are fair.
The service was very good as well, there are no seats but the guy working the counter had no problem with us standing by the front while we ate, very friendly and down to earth atmosphere.
It's a great place for some quick south American food, fills you up real cheap and here they make it like it is meant to be made.
I rate this place 4 stars, I gave them 5 stars because they have a poster of Trudeau that says in Spanish "Trudeau: in Latino's hearts forever!"
old schools liberals know whats up. -

Mmmm Empanadas! I had a fantastic Humita empanada for lunch today, it was great. There is also a large selection of Chorizo here and several products from South America. Run by very nice people.

Meat, I love meat!
You can find the best variety of chorizo in the market from this humble spot run by some fantastic Chilean people... I have been buying chorizo from them for the past 10 years, mind you I've been away for some time, but after returning it's still the same place I remember.
They sell hot empanada's to go, I had one this morning after buying some veal feet for this hearty Peruvian stew we're making tomorrow at chez moi...
The filling is nicely seasoned with cumin, it has little morsels of black olives, and the beef juicy, which must have been cooked for a long time.
The price of their meats are fair for the quality you're getting... For 5 good sized chorizo it cost me about $10.
Top 3 choices that I recommend: Argentine chorizo, spiced Colombian chorizo, and morcilla (South American blood pudding)...
Tonight we eat "chori pan"! Roasted Argentine style chorizo on a crusty Portuguese bun with home made chimichurri sauce (parsley, garlic, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, smoked paprika, light cumin spice). -

I almost always stop by this place when I'm in Toronto for some Colombian empanadas or feijoada brasileira. It's relatively cheap and inexpensive South American food (looks like mostly Chilean, Peruvian, Colombian, and Brazilian). They also have meats as well.

The best place for sausages in Toronto. Such a wide variety of chorizo - spicy and not so, whatever your taste. The butcher is really nice. The chorizo are generous size and reasonably priced. Closed on Mondays, I believe.

My 2 experiences at Segovia have been great.
1) Their chorizo stew is amazing!
2) they sell empanada wrappers. The guy working there took the time to explain how to prepare them. He was so helpful and nice. I look forward to trying to make my own empanadas. -

I can't believe it's taken me so long to speak fine words about my beloved Segovia.
If there was a meat I was forced to eat every day, it would be chorizo from Segovia. Heck, if there was a single food I was forced to eat every day, it would probably include a smidgen of chorizo from Segovia.
The meat links are bulbous and lip-tremblingly tasty, with fillings tipping a hat to to Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Colombia, ay ay ay! Though it may seem pricey (a recent 3-link purchase ran me about $8.50), one single link is at least a third size larger than the piddly uninspiring ones seen at your grocery store meat counter.
Plus, as Jennifer L says, the guy who works here is super sweet; when he wishes me a good day, he actually sounds like he means it. -

I love the excellent variety of sausages/chorizos here. BEST for the BBQ SEASON! There's another counter of other meats and other snackables, but I always head straight for the sausage counter. Some sausages contain things like pineapple, spinach, parsley, and other ingredients I don't remember. But whatever the combo, it's all good.
And the staff is so nice and sweet. The one guy always tells me "Bike safe!" right before I leave. NICE PEOPLE, GREAT SAUSAGES.Listed in: I Love Meat

Awesome place to buy chorizo. They have numerous varieties such as Columbian, Guatemalan, Spinach etc etc... I am spoiled from buying any other sausage, once you have tried this. This place is a little bit pricey, but I have no problem paying a little extra for these!
