Mushroom tostada - spicy but good.
Vegan chorizo taco - really good.
Sweet potato taco - good flavours, not a huge fan of the (I think deep fried) sweet potato.
Short rib nachos were great. Monday is short rib nachos and margarita specials so get those.
Good pour une sortie en ville! En plus le serveur parlait français 😀!
We followed our great server’s instructions and ordered three tacos each. They were all different and very delicious. We had a large discussion on whether the shrimp or pork belly tacos were the best! The churros were authentic and fantastic with a good Carmel dipping sauce. I will be back next time I am in Toronto

La Carnita offers good food with nice flavor, but it is not particularly traditional Mexican cuisine. The nachos were good, and the guac is smooth and without tomatoes. The pork belly taco had good meat but felt mismatched to the toppings. The achiote chicken taco was great, and the carnita margarita was quite good, the highlight of the trip. The carne asada tacos tasted like authentic tacos from a local Mexican street stand. The quesadilla was much more flavourful than other places. The restaurant has a casual, enjoyable and easy going atmosphere with beautiful design.
However, the customer service was disappointing. Staff were rude and unwelcoming. Service started out great, then got busy and the server disappeared. One server was fine, but others were not. A hair was found in a taco, and it took 30 minutes to get a replacement. Drinks sat on the bar top for 15+ minutes while the server chatted. While the food was decent, the lack of good service outweighed the experience. There are better options in the area that offer both good food and friendly service.
