I’ve been a huge fan Seven Lives for as long as I can remember. Their tacos and ceviches are always on point and completely hits the spot everytime! For those that have visited Seven Lives in Kensington Market would know that its not exactly the most spacious place especially when you hit peak hours! Luckily enough for us, Seven Lives is hosting a pop up at Kintori Yakitori (668 Bloor St West, 2nd Floor). Beginning this Friday March 3rd, this pop up will be happening every Friday & Saturday from 5pm – 1am. This pop up marks the first time ever that Seven Lives will be offering cocktails, mezcal, tequila and beer, alongside with mouth-watering…
I’m practically craving tacos every other week which means I’m constantly venturing off in and out of the city in hopes to find amazing Mexican restaurants. Slightly backlogged but – I visited Barrio Coreano a month or two ago on a dreary rainy day with a friend. This Mexican eatery is one of the many Playa Cabana family of restaurants located in Koreantown. This location is quite the bustling spot amongst the plethora of Korean restaurants (hence the influence of Korean twists in their offerings). We arrived for an early dinner on a Sunday evening. (They accept reservations but we didn’t exactly need one for our early dinner time). The restaurant is quite rustic and hipster – following the expected…
Tucked away at the corner of Adelaide and Portland, Campechano Taqueria (@campechano_to) is a small and cozy restaurant that quietly opened its doors to the public a few months ago. They have taken up for the former Sadie’s diner location and is now serving their take of a Mexican fare. Their menu is a very simple 2 page read. I knew in a matter of seconds what I wanted to indulge in. We arrived on a Monday evening around 5:30pm. We wanted to beat the rush our dinner crowd – and trust me, its always a good idea! {Left} Sangria ($9.00) {Right} Jamaica – hibiscus flower ($2.25) Guacamole ($6.00) Camarones ($4.75) Chipotle shrimp, pineapple Bistec ($4.75) sirloin cap…
Who would want to go home straight after work when you can have a delicious Mexican meal at Fonda Lola? Definitely not me! I’m constantly craving Mexican food so when I was invited to sample items from their upcoming 2 day event – I jumped on the opportunity without hesitation. For 2 days only (August 26 + 27, 2015), the Fonda Lola (@FondaLola) menu is being turned over to the restaurant owner’s mother to create and serve an authentic eight course Mexican meal featuring her specialities and favourite dishes to feed a crowd. Passed down from generation to generation, these recipes are sure to give diners a true taste of Mexican culture and will take their…
I can’t say that I’ve tried EVERY taco place in Toronto but I had some pretty darn good tacos here at SEVEN LIVES (@SevenLivesTO) 2 weeks ago. To be honest, I’ve made several attempts to visit SEVEN LIVES before, but every time this place was either closed or extremely packed (line up outside the door) type of deal. It was a week night around 6PM when a few of us headed over to Kensington Market to attempt to visit the place. Thankfully, it was only busy but not incredibly packed. Menu is hung behind the counter on the chalkboard. We all tried to order something different just a little variety. Depending on the type of taco you order,…
