We’ve done pizza, smash burgers, and fried chicken sandwiches. Last night, we did a Toronto taco crawl.
My back-up on this culinary excursion.
Our first stop was Los Campos Tacos where we kicked things off with their Al Pastor (marinated pork). This was a very, very, VERY good start.
We made the walk up to Kensington Market’s 214 Augusta that is home to a tiny food court where you’ll find five or six vendors serving up everything from birrias to off-cuts like tripe and tongue. We sampled…
Another pork-themed taco, the cochinita pibil. Loved the freshness of this one and the slice of avocado really went a long way to setting this one apart.
The beef birria was also terrific with its crispier taco shell and dipping soup.
One of my favorites was the lengua, aka tongue. Stewed to savory and tender perfection.
Our final stop was Taco Lupita in the new Waterworks Food Hall.
There we enjoyed some delicious carnitas.
We finished the night with way too many doughnuts from Better Days c/o Rob Cooper (who offers his own rundown of the evening here).
And my new favorite ice cream (we picked up a pint at the Waterworks food court on our way out): Demetre’s Double Baked Apple Pie Ice Cream.
I may have overdone it on the donuts and ice cream though. This morning, I woke up feeling like I’d gone a round with Floyd Mayweather Jr. who’d exclusively worked my middle.
So, what’s next for the food tour? Ivon suggested salad but I’m not convinced.

Oh, I see. You have 5th, 5th, 7th, 8th. I’m not crazy. YOU are!
Your company all look amazing. Nobody ever gets recognized when you are out and about?? I find that hard to believe. The tacos look delicious (mostly). I’d leave out a few of those ingredients. I bet you know which ones. 🙂 Thanks for sharing the pictures of your buddies.
That looks amazing! For new ideas: Sushi, Steak, BBQ but Salads might be okay.
I clicked on your link for Rob’s run down but his account’s private 🙁 I sent a request to him but he might not want an English ginger to see his bits and bobs 🫣 glad your Mum’s back home and I hope she’s taking it easy and not going up and down the stairs xxx
