Toronto's newest Mexican kitchens

A decade ago Toronto had a handful of taquerias. The 37 kitchens below — 3 licensed in just the past 30 days — show the wave: birria-and-consomé counters along Bloor West and Danforth, regional-specific spots from Jalisco, Puebla, Oaxaca, CDMX, and Yucatec specialists you couldn't find here at all five years ago. The City of Toronto's nightly licence registry is where the wave shows first.
