La Tortilleria
La Tortilleria is Toronto's first place that makes fresh corn tortillas every day. Not quite as good as what you'll find in Mexico, but still better than the frozen or preservative-laden imported alternative, the tortillas here are fresh, warm and cheap. La Tortilleria also serves tacos (wrapped with the fresh corn tortillas) and homemade Mexican drinks.

I'm from Mexico, I went to this place and the unfortunately the food was really bad, the flavors are nothing similar to real Mexican food. I suggest to anyone who want to experiment tasty Mexican food try a different restaurant. The tortillas are good only if you are going to eat them the same day. And also the service isn't great.
There are better mexicans restaurants.
I would not go back to this place or recommend it to anyone.There are a lot of Mexican restaurants that are a lot better than this one. Check out other places first before going to this place.

First the positive view: am glad that Mexican people is involved in this business, I think the owner is Portuguese, and that they’re doing fine. The business is growing and is good to have “Tortillerías” in TO. They had different types of tortillas, which is never the case at regular tortillerías in Mexico.
Now my facts: I bought “Yellow Tortillas”, “Mole Negro” “Chorizo” (from Venerica Meats) and “Queso Fresco” (from La Fromagerie Latino) to bring home. They all suck!!!
The tortillas might be nice to be eaten at the store but the frozen ones that you get at those Latino Stores close to Kensington Market are far superior in taste, texture, quality and preservation. The ones I’ve got were all sticky, uneven and with holes.
The chorizo and the cheese tasteless! I know that most of this food is adapted to taste Canadian consumers for whom this might be nice but if you’re Mexican try another option. About the Mole… after all this I recognize that I have no good expectations for it but I’ll let you know. I need to get first some nice tortillas to prepare my “enchiladas”.
I do hope that the owners of this business will take a constructive view on the feedback and that next time I check this site most comments will be positive. By the way, in case you’re still wonder am Mexican.
Queso fresco doesnt exist in Canada, the closest thing is feta but the feta needs to be a good quality so the flavour resembles. You can also make your own Queso fresco with Whole milk and Apple Vinegar.
Jorge,
The best chorizo I had tried so far is sold at the Meat department in the No Frills that is in Dufferin Mall, so spicy and delicious! and also cheap!
