el trompo

If you're craving real deal tacos then head to El Trompo in Kensington Market. The meat in both the bistec (grilled beef) tacos and al pastor (pork and pineapple) tacos was moist and flavourful. The guacamole was well-seasoned and full of tomatoes, onions and avocado goodness. And the queso fundido (molten cheese topped with chorizo) was spicy, tangy and gooey. I'm anxious to go back to try their brunch menu and sample their margaritas and horchata (a traditional Mexican drink made with rice, cinnamon and vanilla).
