Little Italy / College St.

About the restaurant

At Quetzal, we celebrate regional Mexican cuisine, inspired by traditional flavours and cooking styles, all cooked over a 28 foot-long open fire that runs the span of the hot line. Traditional moles, sauces and little-known native ingredients are transported to Toronto and infused with the bounty of local Ontario and Canadian produce, for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Quetzal is located at the corner of College & Bathurst, at the edges of four Toronto hotspot neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Kensington Market, Harbord Village, and the Annex.

Aside from the noise level it was a perfect meal. Our server, Isabelle, was fantastic, knowledgeable, and really nice. The food was flawless. Every bite was special and memorable. Balances and depths of flavors were so impressive. These chefs, bartenders, servers, food runners, and hosts are crasftspeople, and I’m thankful I had the chance to dine here.

Hamilton

About the restaurant

WELCOME TO THE MULE.
We’re not your traditional Mexican place. We just happen to think that tacos are a dish best served fun, with a side of liquor. Welcome to The Mule, where tacos, tequila and bourbon come to party.
Located in one of Hamilton’s most beautiful spaces, we think we’ll be your new favourite lunch spot, your regular late-night haunt and your go-to destination for a good drink. Our bartenders have crafted a bourbon- and tequila-focused cocktail menu that will surprise and fascinate, and we also have a variety of beers on tap.
And don’t forget the food. From baja wings to brisket tacos, our menu offers an approachable and fresh twist on your favourite flavours from way down south. Our tacos range from classic Mexican to weird-and-wild-you’ve-gotta-try-this. All of our food is 100% gluten-free and we offer a variety of fare that is sure to delight your vegetarian and vegan side.

Burlington

About the restaurant

Burro is a lively taco joint that is just as much about fun as it is food. This great hangout is open from lunch until late at night, meaning it can be a great place for an afternoon snack, a spot to do some late-night dining and everything in between. Burro is just as proud of its drink menu as it is of its food. There is a long list of custom craft cocktails that showcase the creativity of Burro's bartenders.Burro's menu revolves around the humble taco. The best thing about this dish is that it's so adaptable. Some of the tacos guess will find here include a classic fish, spicy Brussels sprout, charred broccoli & Summer corn, achiote chicken, jerk pork and spicy beef cheek. The other side of the menu is a section simply labeled "not tacos" that has entrées like whitefish ceviche and ahi tuna tostadas.
