Ok. I have to admit - having lived in L.A. for 5 years has tainted my palate for authentic Mexican food. However, Los Guacamoles blew it out of the park. Delicious, fresh, authentic fare - and well priced. A nice surprise, because so many of these bandwagon 'taco' restaurants popping up around Toronto are generally mediocre at best, and the price for the tacos are insane.
The patio out back was killer, service was amazing and the food was amazing - even the house wine was pretty damn good. The interior is eclectic, cozy yet modern - with amazing murals along the walls including my gal pal Frida Kahlo, of course! Owned by Mexican restaurant vet Lizbeth Orea - formerly of Dos Amigos - she has really taken it to the next level. When I'm in Toronto, this will be my go-to spot for fresh, authentic Mexican cuisine.
