1. Tacos Tony
Holy crap, this place is amazing! Leamington isn't exactly known for it's culinary delights, in fact it's pretty much a wasteland. Unfortunately, being the closest town to Point Pelee National Park, I find myself visiting Leamington at least once a…More »
2. La Tortilleria
Toronto, ON M6H 4B2
(416) 901-7842
Categories:
Mexican,
Ethnic Food
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Dufferin Grove
I've since gone back to La Tortilleria to try their tacos ($2.50 for 1, $8.50 for 4). They're a little small given the price, but really good. In a city with so few proper Mexican joints, this is a great find.
Also, for high-fructose corn syrup…More »

La Tortilleria Market is the spot to go if you're feeling like cooking up a Mexican feast. The space… Read more »
3. Chorizo Fresh Mex
Surprisingly good burritos given the location in an otherwise deserted strip mall near Clarkson GO Station in Mississauga. Closer to the Chipotle style than the Burrito Boyz style.
The burritos ($8.59) are nice and big and come one of 5 or 6 different…More »
4. Rio 40 Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6E 1B9
(416) 654-6363
Category:
Brazilian
Neighbourhood: Corso Italia
The Brazilian style pizza at Rio 40 is quite good. We went for the Palmito Com Milho ($13) with mozzarella, corn, hearts, of palm, onion, and oregano because it sounded the most authentic. Out of curiosity we added catupiry cheese -- a mild and super…More »
5. Big Fat Burrito
Toronto, ON M5T 2M1
(416) 913-7487
Big Fat Burrito makes one of the better burritos I've had in the city. I've never been blown away by a burrito here but they're consistently good.
I usually go for a large yam burrito which, at $8.50, is a little expensive. Despite the name of the…More »
6. La Cocina De Dona Luz
What a find! This small Peruvian joint on St. Clair West is the real deal. The most warm and friendly staff you'll ever meet and great traditional Peruvian food from Ceviche to Lomo Saltado.
While the menu has a variety of meat and seafood dishes --…More »
7. El Arriero
Fun little Colombian restaurant. The atmosphere is very kitschy, lots of knick knacks all over the place and the tables are picnic benches. The clientele appears to be half Colombian have white. Worth checking out but the food, while good, isn't out…More »
8. Big Fat Burrito
Kensington Market burrito institution Big Fat Burrito recently opened a new outpost out front of Lee's Palace. It's an absolutely brilliant location that will, I'm sure, bring in tons of business for Big Fat Burrito and it has also improved the look…More »
9. Taco King - CLOSED
Taco King is surprisingly good for a Chinese owned and operated, Danforth Ave., halal Mexican joint. They do delivery, take-out, or you can sit at one of the 4-5 tables. Just don't pronounce things with a proper Mexican accent or the Chinese staff…More »
10. Burrito Loco - CLOSED
Popped into Burrito Loco for lunch today and I completely agree with Chris P's review. This place looks exactly like a Subway or Quizo's except they serve Burritos and Quesadillas.
Prices are reasonable and the burritos are a good size, the large…More »
11. Mexitaco Taqueria
Toronto, ON M6G 1M2
(416) 537-6693
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Christie Pits, Bickford Park
Mexitaco is a small, authentic Mexican restaurant with an extensive menu of interesting dishes, most of which I'd never heard of before. The space doesn't have a whole lot of character (brightly lit, a few Mexican souvenirs on the wall, and a TV…More »
