Torontonians know the best place to get Mexican is smack dab in Koreatown. I've never been to Mexico but it's how I would imagine Mexico to be like...crowded, Mexican soap operas or sports blaring on the aged tv, bright walls, cramped seating, older Mexican ladies working and laughing in the kitchen, good beer, friendly service and awesome food.
Other than the crispy tacos and the non-dirt cheap prices, I'm told by many that the menu and atmosphere is pretty authentic. Either way, I would still wait in line and eat my chicken burrito in Christie Pits because there is no seating. I always go for the chicken burrito. I went for the beef once and it wasn't as tasty. The burrito size is neither too big or too small so you feel satisfied without feeling like you want to explode. I don't know about you but I often have the 'I want to explode' feeling after I eat Mexican food. When I'm feeling extra adventurous I'll get the guacamole. Very yummy. So yummy that I'm in a good mood for at least two days afterward. Make sure to top everything with their homemade salsa that they bring right to the table.
I love this place because it doesn't pretend to be something it's not. It's all about the food. They know it, we know it and now you should know it too. Be prepared to spend $30ish for dinner for two. Beers, burritos and guac add up!
