Mexican for dinner?

[Freckles]

Decent Mexican food does not exist in France. Passing through Toronto and wondering where I can go for dinner to taste some really lovely Mexican food. Thanks

When I need good mexican in Toronto, I go to New York City. Seriously though, I've always been disapointed with the Mexican when I was living in Toronto. Here's a previous thread on Mole Poblano that has some good suggestions.

Well, I will be heading to NYC for work in June, so if you have any suggestions there...

Zarela's (953 Second Avenue between 50th and 51st St) is great - reputed to have the best margaritas in town.

But really no good Mexican in Toronto besides Burrito Boyz??? Nowhere where I could sit down and enjoy some great food with my friends?

What about Dos Amigos on Bathurst in between Davenport and Dupont on the East side?

Mexitaco at Bloor and Shaw (www.mexitaco.com). IMHO is as good, if not better than Santa Barbara's fabled La Super Rica.

A good friend of mine who grew up in Maccallan Texas, and lived for many years in NYC, swore it was the bext he had outside if the lone star state. Started by two brothers from Mexico City, the food is the "Federale" - or so I gleaned when my frined got into an animated converstaion in Spanich with one of the owners.

So there!

mmmmmmm. Those look good. I'm going to have to give it a try next time I'm in Toronto. Now if they could just open a good Mexican place in Kingston. We have Sol Latino, but it's not really great...and it's a bit pricey. The thing that I love most about Mexican food is that it can be flavourful while still being cheap.

Boy, I've got to say that looks wonderful. What a great menu! Even cochinita pibil. And queso fundido. Almost makes me want to go to Toronto just to try it!

Thanks for the recommendation, I've been by the place a bunch of times, and I always think, 'I should check that out … naww, it's probably just going to be disappointing". Now I will definitely stop by.

Try 'El Sol' on the danforth. Authentic food, great taste, really really slow service though

Today's NOW Magazine does a little Cinco de Mayo special, and reviews a couple of Toronto Mexican restaurants. They liked Emporio Latino, and a few others that I can't find online at the moment.

Headed to Mexitaco one of my two nights in Toronto. Friendly service but I thought the food and drink (we had burritos, guacamole and chips, sangria) were pretty mediocre. Better luck next time...

Hmmm...I've never had the burritos, I just stick with the tacos. Maybe I should have said that in my post. Sorry.
