After dribbling through a list of mexican/taco restaurants throughout Toronto, next in line was La Carnita. Reading through all the rave reviews online and throughout the various blogs I couldn't wait to check this place out. First task is getting in which usually requires a significant wait time (an hour or so) so be patient or get there early. Also be sure to look for the skull sign since the restaurant doesn't have a written sign but it's not hard to guess. Fortunately we went on a rainy night so we were seated right away but most times I've passed by I opted elsewhere since the wait is usually pretty long. I have a admit, the noise level is super high with loud (annoying at times) pumping music, which I can understand since it is a bar-ish restaurant. The menu is simple with various taco choices and a selection of appetizers and desserts. We started out with a fine selection of drinks along with the guacomole and meatballs (highly recommended). Afterwards, we tried a selection of tacos including the cod, shrimp, chicken and chorizo, of which all except the chorizo were deep fried. While I'm not a huge fan of fried foods there were somewhat tasty and delectable. Would I come back...I have to say probably not but it's definitely worth checking out even if it requires a wait.
