Si Senor

Damn … Gorgeous weather out there today eh?! To celebrate G and I ventured down to Kensington Market to partake of some authentic Mexican cuisine.

We actually were keen on Cuban but try finding a great Cuban restaurant in Toronto. There is Julie’s Cuban Restaurant on Dovercourt but we didn’t want to venture out that way. We rarely venture west of Spadina! If anyone knows of a place, please let G and I know….

So, hi-ho, hi-ho, off to Kensington Market we go … to El Trompo Taco Bar & Cactus Grill. We ordered up:


  •  nachos;

  • taco al pastor (pork meat marinated in a traditional sauce, and served with onions, pineapple and corriander and served with soft corn tortillas);

  • queso fundido con chorizo (served with 4 tortillas de harina); and,

  • the Mexican pop of choice, Jarritos (pina flavoured for me).



1) El Trompo; 2) Jarritos de Mexico




3) nachos; 4) taco; 5) cheese fondue

I thoroughly enjoyed this place and loved the green salsa they served. If you’re in the market, go!

Bought this dirt cheap today and will begin reading it tonight in the green room at the Hummingbird Centre. Tonight is our last performance and we get paid! Woohoo!
