| - I think my search for the best tacos in Toronto has finally come to an end. After trying out a few places, La Carnita has won my heart (stomach).
I came by with two of my friends on a Wednesday. The music was already bumping when we walked in at about 6pm. They were playing some old school hip hop/rap, the lights were dimmed, and the candles were lit for that added ambiance.
We were seated and quickly greeted by our server. He took our drink orders very quickly and let us know about everything that they had in pitchers. Shortly thereafter, he came back with our drinks and took our food orders. Since it was our first time around, he was very helpful in suggesting what we should order and the sizes and portions and whatnot. We listened to him the whole time and I'm so glad we did because he definitely suggested some of the yummiest options! Here's a run down of what we ordered:
-Pitcher of margarita: Sweet Jesus, their margaritas are so strong. For $48, a pitcher yielded about 7 drinks, and made for 3 very happy (tipsy) girls. I really feel like we got our money's worth on this one. I would not hesitate for a second about ordering another $48 pitcher of margaritas from this place
-Mexican Street Corn: Sweet, salty, spicy, buttery, and creamy all in one bite?! I'm in heaven. This stuff was amazing.
-Tortilla Chips with ancho chili powder and all 3 salsas: I didn't try the guac, but the two other salsas were very good.
-Braised chicken taco (Wednesday special): This one was super yummy. The chicken was super tender since it was braised and it had a bit of a kick to it. Sooo good!
-In Cod we trust: I'm not a huge fan of battered fish tacos, but this one was quite yummy. I loved the freshness that the green apple added to the taco.
Our server always made sure to check up on us and he frequently came by to ask us if we were enjoying everything. He paid a lot of attention to all of his tables and he treated us very well. After all is said and done, the three of us dished out about $150 for a ton of food (I walked out with a food baby of triplets) and some strong margaritas. This place was well worth my money and I will definitely be back.
