| - Certainly La Carnita knows how to make delicious tacos. Each taco order comes with one taco so I decided to mix and match and tried a fish one, a chicken one, and a steak one.
In Cod We Trust (favourite)
The cod was soft, fluffy, and lightly battered on the outside. It also comes with "Voltron sauce" which is La Carnita's secret sauce named after a cartoon super robot lol. It uses "tamari" soy sauce as the base and I felt that it paired well with the cod. The extra cabbage, green apple, and cilantro on top complemented well with the fluffy cod by adding some crunch to it.
Pollo Frito (almost tied with steak but I ranked this as my second favourite because it was slightly sweeter from the honey)
Crispy chicken thigh, peanut mole,honey, Rossy's hot sauce, green cabbage & salsa fresca
The chicken was nice and sweet and also tender and slightly crispy on the outside. If you like sweet stuff definitely try the pollo. Beware though that while the chicken is sweet some parts of the taco can also be spicier than expected from hot sauce.
Carne Asada - Grilled Beef Steak, chipotle mayo, Tomatillo salsa, Lime Avocado, Crispy Shallots & cilantro. The steak was good but the salsa and mayo were a little too spicy (tasted like spicy mayo but stronger). For tacos I preferred the chicken and fish because of the lighter texture to go with the delicate tortilla
For starters we tried the ancho bbq wing but in comparison to the tacos they were more dry and somewhat small. I probably won't order the wings again but definitely try out these tacos!!
Seating can be crammed but all in all great casual lively atmosphere with dim lighting; and flavourful tacos that come with a good amount of toppings.
