Tortería San Cosme — Restaurant in Toronto

These traditional Mexican sandwiches are so on point. They are great for any time of the day imo.

We stopped by here for a little brunch torta in Kensington Market on a chilly day.

My YEA and I decided on the egg, bacon, and avocado torta as a nice start to the day.

I always find these sandwiches to be quite generous so I usually can share this with my YEA and it is enough for the both of us.

The sandwich was super-hearty with the nice fluffy egg omelette stacked on top of a few thick slices of bacon, re-fried beans, tomatoes, and avocado.

The bun didn’t get soggy and was able to take the impact of the ingredient it was trying to keep contained. If you slip a few slices of their pickled jalapeños into the sandwich, it just add a sweet and spicy dimension that gets you going.

You can’t go wrong with this spot if you are looking for a delicious sandwich with some flair...

Went to their pop up inside the Milago Mexican restaurant (adjacent to Nobu) Limited seating, 5 stools at a counter facing kitchen, can't get more homier then this, watching staff cook your order right in front of your eyes.

Ordered their Cubana sandwich and chorizo quesadillas

Sandwich had thick char grilled pork slices in addition to the normal Cubana ingredients, ham, cheese, bacon, tomatoes, jalapenos, pickles, etc. Bread toasted with a nice crunchy exterior.

Quesadillas generously filled with cheese and minced chorizo grilled on a flat top.

Although I wouldn't consider a Cubana sandwich a Mexican dish, they pulled it off very well. The quesadillas were grilled well although I thought they were too generous with the cheese which overwhelmed the chorizo and flour tortillas.

Finally found a Mexican pop up in a Mexican restaurant, I can cross that off my bucket...

I went today for the first time, I was very disappointed. Most of the staff is Mexican so I thought it would be like the real tortas from Mexico. I spent around 1 hour and a half to get to this place, I ordered 4 tortas and one juice which came up to 67 dollars. I might as well go to a nice restaurant and get more food for this ridiculous price. But anyways, this place shouldn't pretend it's a Mexican restaurant because anyone can make these simple sandwiches. The agua de Jamaica is nothing like the one from Mexico. I wouldn't waste my time here.

No pierdan el tiempo en un lugar que ni vende comida mexicana. La verdad que decepción no tener un buen restaurante mexicano en Toronto. Nunca...
