Toronto has some amazing food. The best Indian, Greek, and Chinese food I've ever had have been here. Which makes it especially disappointing that good Mexican food seems to be non-existant. I don't get it. You can get Chinese or Italian food ANYWHERE. Why not Mexican?? It's not like it's some kind of crazy exotic combination of foods that nobody likes. It's meat, rice, bread, and cheese, people, how can you go wrong?!?
Don't get me wrong, there is Mexican food here. And I don't mean Taco Bell. It's just not the same. I have YET to see a menu with either carne asada, carnitas, machaca, or tamales. I am seriously considering importing some Mexicans to start a restaurant with me. Something called Palomino's, or Juanita's, or Paco's. Some greasy little hole in the wall with mariachi music playing in the background and a salsa bar that looks like it's been there for 3 years. I even drove through the neighborhood which theoretically has the highest population of Hispanics in the city - nothing. Not even a Mexican market.
I'm still hopeful, however. There are a few Mexican restaurants downtown we haven't had a chance to try yet. I don't expect to ever see fish tacos here; but if I can order a tamale, some flautas, or a good ol' carne asada burrito, I'll be content.

You are in Canada you know. Most Mexicans don't go that far. I know there are tons in Chicago which surprised me. But as far as them making it to Canada I don’t think so. I could be wrong though.
