La Morena

All the food is good here and the service is fantastic! The ceviche, empanadas, the soups! I dream of them when I don’t have them.

The food was amazing! I tried the fritada, and the servers were friendly although I wanted to try the Bolon, hopefully they will have it next time! ☺️ Also, the colada morada was really good!

Best Latino food I’ve had in Toronto thus far! The Sancocho (beef soup) is a hearty meal for a cold Fall day. Highly recommend this and their iced coffee.

Popped by after seeing the rave reviews of this place and had to experience it for ourselves. Decided to try the ceviche and a couple empanadas. The empanadas were flavourful and that house made hot sauce?! So tangy and delicious we left with a bottle. The ceviche was magical (the plating was A+) and the portion was very generous. Staff were kind and though we came near closing kindly told us not to rush. Will be back to try more dishes.

Best food on St. Clair! Blink and you will miss this little stand alone family restaurant (mom, dad, son). But don’t miss it! Such excellent fresh Ecuadorian food.

Gluten-Free Options: Yes Cross Contamination: low Halal/ Kosher Options: No Vegan Option: Yes Vegetarian Options: Yes Nut Free Options: Yes First Impression: Cute little restaurant on Clair. We were greeted by an older gentleman who was so kind and made us feel very welcome. Favourite: The chicha morada was outstanding. It’s a traditional drink made from ears of purple maize (maíz morado), which are boiled with pineapple rind, cinnamon, and cloves. If you like to try new things you should definitely give it a shot! Critiques: The space is small. If you want to sit in there isn’t much privacy. The cute design and kind staff make up for it! Bonus: They have tamales 🫔!!! This is so rare to find in Canada. I got the chicken one and it was very good. I have only had Colombian tamales so it was fun trying a different take on it. Take Away: I really enjoyed this place and will be returning again to try some more options. Follow on tiktok: @eatwithbuns

Such a lovely experience and exceptional food. Everyone who worked here was so friendly, and accommodating. The food was excellent, I plan to come back often. We had goat (a special, so flavorful), the ceviche (fresh, with a very good amount of shrimp), and the tamale (delicious). Prices are reasonable, and food comes very quick.

This one hits closer to home being the country where they originate from and my being from there! Ecuador🇪🇨 It’s a small family owned café which from the outside it looks like your typical coffee shop.., lemme tell you though that’s not the case once inside. Once inside you’re greeted by father and son who are so welcoming, personable always courteous and attentive to whoever walks through their doors. The backend (kitchen!) is run by their other son and their mother so you know foods gonna be amazing👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Their menu changes as they have your regular standard dish for the week, as well as their special dishes on certain days! (ie:Sunday encebollado) price wise they don’t disappoint and are worth every$$$. Their hornado sandwich is top tier and I highly recommend try it out. Empanadas! Ohh lemme tell you about the empanadas🤗🫠🤤🤤 These delicious golden treats are from different parts of South America. From Colombia, Chile to Argentina and Ecuador you won’t be disappointed in ordering several of them. I recommend you try them all at least once with the Ecuadorian café which always hits ♨️♨️🥹🫶🏽 The place is small with limited seating which may affect the the seating availability, atmosphere, vibe but where it lacks in this is made up by superb friendly service, quality of delicious food and most importantly the people. If you want to try something different and new or if you miss a taste of traditional Latino culture cuisine I Highly recommend you try this spot. Just tell them Danny sent you! Buen Provecho 😋😅✌🏽
