| - Came here for a friend's 30th birthday and we had a blast! We had a huge table and service remained prompt and friendly. I didn't actually have much food, but the guacamole was fantastic and the margaritas reaffirmed my recent decision to forego blended bevvies in favour of straight up flavour! Huge props also to the Side Collar, which was the birthday boy's drink of choice.
I really wanted to try the Crispy Avocado & Frijoles, but didn't have room. My friends raved about the cod tacos, but weren't the biggest fan of the corn even though it looked SO BEAUTIFUL!
If it wasn't for the lighting, this would be an instagramer's paradise. The decor was awesome! I know I keep reviewing places and obsessing over decor, but I can't help it. They had light fixtures that were made out of lightbulbs! And they had tons of neat little areas, neon signs, street style elements, lots of sugar skulls, it was just an awesome place to hang out. Really cool city vibe.
A few cons: We were seated waaaaay later than our reso and for a while they forgot my guac. It's also not the cheapest, but neither is it the worst prices in Mexicana-Toronto. That's it though! They didn't even screw anything up and for a party of 18-20, that's impressive. Not a con, but we were there on a Monday and this place was PACKED!
Look for the place with only a sugar skull for a sign and you've found yourself under the sweet solace of La Carnita.
