Takeout and Delivery in [Toronto]

Took out again from El Charro (Broadview location). Food remains really enjoyable - vibrant flavours and occasionally a heavy hand with the salt.

  • Pozole: rich broth with tender roasted pork, hominy corn, and red chiles, topped with lettuce, raw onion and oregano, served with corn chips, lime and salsas (one smokey, one hot). Wonderful on a cold, blustery evening.

  • Burrito Ahogado: flour tortilla filled with pork (marinated in guajillo pepper), pineapple, beans, guacamole, rice, mozzarella, smothered in a green salsa. Pork was delicious but the dish had too much salt overall.

  • Pambazo: a fluffy bun dipped in guajillo salsa, filled with refried beans, lettuce, feta cheese, crema and Tinga de Pollo (pulled chicken in chipotle sauce, with fried onions). Very good, although the version with carnitas we had previously was even better.

  • Torta: sandwich made with beans, guacamole, mayo, tomatoes, onions, mozzarella, cheddar and panela cheese. We got Chorizo con Huevo, so it was basically a yummy breakfast sandwich for dinner.

  • some kind of special dessert with a firm cornmeal cake, not too sweet, with some coconut and whipped cream.

  • Pineapple coconut tres leches - not too sweet and thus very good.
