This place is tucked within narrow streets and is definitely a hidden gem. I was visiting the Christmas Market nearby and wanted to try restaurants around the area outside of Distillery District and Cocina Economica came up on Yelp.
Was I thoroughly pleased!
The decor is cozy/quaint/quirky/different - you name it! It's hard to find one word which describes it accurately. With the number of Mexican restaurants booming around Toronto, I'm surprised this one managed to remain fairly off the radar and wasn't crowded with lineups.
Every table is served with tortillas and sauce. We ordered the ceviche to start, followed by shrimp and beef shank entrees to share between two people. Each entree comes with beans, rice, and tortilla wraps, and the portions were generous. So be prepared to get your hands dirty!
Our server was friendly and willing to explain lots of the dishes to us, so overall it was an enjoyable experience.
