Among an entire street of Korean restaurants on Bloor Street, my partner and I visited this taco store, which was listed as a Salvadoran restaurant upon my research, so we had to give the tacos and the pupusa a try, and honestly, we enjoyed the tacos and tostadas a lot more.
I believe we ordered the squash pupusa or the cheese & beans pupusa, but it ended up not being very memorable because it wasn't as savory as tostadas or tacos, and part of me was wondering if I was eating it correctly, because I didn't quite see the appeal of pupusas in general. I think I need to learn more about it first.
Every tostada and taco we have gotten are amazing, from the camaron tostadas to the birria tacos to the lengua tacos, everuthing was juicy and flavorful. I have never had lengua tacos with guacamole in them, and it turned out very well! The lengua meat bits were huge, so of course I was very satisfied. The birria meat was cooked very well as well, so after getting birria tacos, I got birria tostadas during Round 2.
The only reason I wouldn't give this place a 5 was because the price for one taco, especially with the amount given on the camaron (shrimp) taco as displayed in my attached photo, was a bit too much, as $6.5 didn't get me much at all. The tostadas were totally worth it, but seeing the amount in the tacos I would expect the price overall to be more balanced and reasonable.
Overall it was definitely a good joint, and if you are a basketball fan, you'd be in luck because the place has Toronto 2019 championship stuff all over its walls!
