Nowhere else in the city can you buy freshly made corn tortillas, steaming hot and wrapped in paper. Sold by the kilo or 1/2 kilo, they are outstanding, super authentic, and a whole lot easier than making them at home.
La Tortilleria also a great little market to pick up other mexican goodies like house made tomatillo or chipotle salsa, chiccharones (fried pork rinds) or an array of Mexican favourites such as Tamarindo drink or assorted sweets.
The tacos they make here are not my favourite, but they are good if you feel like a snack while shopping. The location on Dufferin has more of a grocery selection as well as various dried chiles to make salsa at home.
If you're planning an mexican dinner at home any time in the near future, you need to pick up some of their tortilla chips, available in a re-sealable bag, they are light on the salt and big on flavour. Excellent with Guacamole!
Locations say that they're open until 9 pm, but I have been to the Kensington store around 6 pm and they were about to close. It was in the off season (March) so that may account for it.
