The 5 most epic tacos at TacoFest in Toronto

Toronto's second annual Taco Fest took over Ontario Place this weekend bringing a slew of vendors and eaters together to mow down on tacos, corn, ice cream and beer.

The event, from Taste Toronto, featured restaurants, food trucks and caterers slinging out favourites like tacos al pastor from Fonda Lola and chicken tinga from Playa Cabana as well as options that showcased flavours from both Mexico and around the world.

Here are my picks for the most epic tacos on offer this weekend.

Banh mi tacos from Los Vietnamita

Los Vietnamita which does Mexican and Vietnamese fusion, served up banh mi chicken, beef, fish and chorizo tacos.

Kung pao pork tacos from Fidel Gastro's

Matt Basile isn't know for subtlety at his restaurant and food truck, so it's no surprise this kung pao pork taco from Fidel Gastro's looks over-the-top delicious.
