  • I thought that Toronto had no real Mexicans but I spotted three amigos here! I first went into La Tortilleria lured by its sign for "fresh tortillas" and, in addition to the proprietor and staff who are from south of the "other" border, I found a divey little grocery store crammed full of Mexican delights like corn husks for tamales, chicharrones, packaged chorizo, chipotle in adobo, tamarind pods and dried chiles sold by weight. I bought half a kilo of their tortillas for $1.75 (a full kilo is $3). They were just made and still warm, smelling of steamed corn. I tried samples of their homemade salsas (red, green, and brown; all hot) and chose the green one for its bracing tartness and slow-burning heat. They also make their own tortilla chips which are so crispy, fresh, and addictive, I have sworn off supermarket-brand tortilla chips. I recently went back to try their cochinita pibil taco; shredded pork that's been slow roasted in a tomato-based sauce. It comes on two of their homemade tortillas layered with black bean puree and rice. Their homemade salsas are free for topping. It's a skimpy portion and I'm not sure if it's meant to be that way or if the owners are trying to cut costs; still, it was pretty darned delicious. The prices are $2.50 for one, $6.49 for 3, and $8.49 for 4. I suggest sitting at the little tables they've set up to eat because the tacos are saucy and messy, and don't look like they'd travel well. They also serve horchata ($1.50) which is made from scratch by another restaurant. Not the best I've had but much better than the stuff from concentrate. They do not skimp on the Mexican cinnamon! I've tentatively planned a non-sexual date with Sarah "taco-shaped hole in her heart" L. so I can go back and try the four other fillings: chiles rellenos, spinach, steak, and chicken. And, of course, get more of their tortilla chips and salsa. Consider me hooked!
