Neil "indefinite review hiatus" T.'s Profile

Toonie & a Loonie

You call $10 or under a budget list? Well, meet the most ambitious Yelp list to date. Here's a list of spots in Toronto to grab a nice snack/meal for $3 or less. Any recommendations are much appreciated!

1. Mainsha

62 Overlea Blvd
Toronto, ON M4H
(416) 916-7096

Category: Caribbean

Update - 8/12/2010

Some notable changes since my last glowing review of this place:

1) The ox tail recipe has been changed to some salty mess of a dish. It's nowhere near being as good as Pat's anymore. It's kind of not-so-good.

2) Tuesdays are rammed with people. The…More »

Category: Vietnamese

Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core

Banh mi? Who needs banh mi when you have such a ridiculous amount of options at this Vietnamese 'all-in-one' shop! I'm a recent convert to this place, opting for this over it's yellow neighbor Ms. Nguyen something or other.

1. Super cheap.…More »

3. Khmer Thai Restaurant

1018 St Clair Ave W
Toronto, ON M6E 1A4
(416) 654-0609

Categories: Thai, Cambodian

12/7/2009

Yes, this is a classic hole-in-the-wall type restaurant, and one of very few places in Toronto to get Cambodian food. My girlfriend is Khmer, so this was a must-eat destination. Here's the breakdown:

Category: Caribbean

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

FIVE WORDS: spicy patty on coco bun.

Crisp and delecate on the outside, yet piping hot and soft on the inside. Oh, the sweet sweet innards.

This item is more like a small meal. Since it is served warmed, it's great on a cold day of walking through…More »

Oh Banh Mi Yellow Sign. I love your banh mi, but you need to step up the variety and quality on your other goods. Ima-breaka-breaka down!

+++PROS+++
1. Top quality banh mi, really consistent, likely the best in Toronto!
2. Bread keeps better than it's…More »

6. Mexican Salsas

249 Augusta Avenue
Toronto, ON M5T 2L8
(416) 977-8226

Category: Mexican

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

8/13/2010

Can you really complain when you can get a menu item for $1.25? This cafeteria style Mexican joint is dirty, quick, and cheap. It's everything that one would expect in Kensington Market, and it's everything a cheap Chinaman could ever want.

I don't…More »

7. Jumbo Empanadas

245 Augusta Avenue
Toronto, ON M5T 2L8
(416) 977-0056

Category: Latin American

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

6/8/2010

Not sure why this place is called "Jumbo Empanadas" when the real name should be "Fucking Delicious Corn Pie"! Those crazy Chileans.

First off, the empanadas are good. Really good. And cheap ($4). However, the size of the empanadas (I swear) has…More »

Category: Vietnamese

Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Kensington Market

7/4/2009

I don't care if this place has been shut down in the past for rodent violations. Anyone who thinks any restaurant in Chinatown is cleaner than the next is really fooling themselves.

Banh mi is a very cheap and traditional Vietnamese sub that was…More »

Who would have thought someone could pay their bills by selling three flavored walnut-shaped (and sized) cakes almost exclusively? These tiny balls of joy are are filled with various internal cake delicacies (red bean, almond, walnut). I haven't…More »
