| - I checked out El Rincon Mexicano this past weekend by accident while attempting to get into Marcello's for pizza. Big mistake about Marcello's but also a big win for trying out something new. Ironically the best Mexican food I've ever had is in Hong Kong in the Mid-levels, but for Toronto, El Rincon is tops. The place is tiny and is easy to pass by if you are driving on St. Clair but worth seeking out. Inside, the brightly light, lively decor is set to a backdrop of Mexican music playing on the speakers. The menu has a mix of all the traditional Mexican foods you would want to eat. Sampled at the restaurant was white sangria, guacamole, a veggie burrito, pork soft shell tacos and a churros for dessert. Sangria was sweet yet refreshing, guacamole had a mild spice in the after taste which was complemented by the chipolte sauce served on the side. However, not as spicy or as thick as the guac from Dos Caminos in New York though :(. After the guac and sangria, I barely had room for the burrito but managed my way through it. I left the side salad as it did not look super appetizing but the burrito was good. My partner had the pork tacos and gave it two thumbs up. We both tasted the churros. Two came for dessert with caramel sauce and whipping cream as decor. It was warm, fried goodness on a plate! Inexpensive and a great place to share some drinks and food with friends or family. El Rincon also has a sizeable tequila list if you are interested. I would go back the next time I crave Mexican.
