In the heart of Kensington, Casa Morales has redefined modern Mexican cuisine — and it’s no surprise, since it comes from the same talented team that gave us Gus Tacos. Upscale yet inviting, the space is stunning, with service that’s as polished as it is warm. From water glasses that never go empty to fresh cutlery between dishes, the staff made sure every detail felt intentional. Add in Chef Felipe’s passion and knowledge, and you can truly taste the love and thought put into every plate.
The Del Mar Seafood Platter was the ultimate opener: crispy soft-shell crab, citrusy ceviche with shrimp, scallops and octopus, and briny oysters that tasted like they’d been kissed by the ocean. Then came the Chile en Nogada, a dish unlike anything I’ve ever tried — roasted poblano peppers stuffed with savoury-sweet ground meat, covered in a creamy walnut sauce, garnished with pomegranate and parsley. It was smoky, nutty, tangy, and sweet all at once — an absolute flavour explosion!
The Carnitas were a show in themselves, served steaming hot and freshly chopped tableside. Juicy pork belly paired with crispy chicharrón, tucked into warm tortillas — a rich, melt-in-your-mouth experience best enjoyed first on its own before adding toppings.
And finally, the Tres Leches with caramelized peaches ended things on a high note. Light sponge cake soaked in milk, layered with peaches, and finished with a brûléed top that cracked beautifully — creamy, fruity, and perfectly balanced.
Pro tip for spice lovers: ask for their hot sauces. They’ve got 3 varieties, each packed with flavour, and they pair so well with everything.
With its elegant vibe, impeccable service, and dishes that celebrate tradition while daring to be inventive, Casa Morales is more than a restaurant — it’s a love letter to modern Mexican dining in Toronto. 🇲🇽✨
