Emporium Latino - Toronto, Ontario

Authentic Latin American food hole in the wall type place. I ordered a cheese and bean pupusa and vege tamale. The real star of the show was the tamale. My friend who has eaten his fair share of Latin American food in California said this place had the best tamales ... he’s ever eaten. Would recommend if you’re looking for a quick bite to eat in Kensington! Read more

It seems like every time I go to this hole in the wall grocery-cum-restaurant, it manages to exceed my expectations. Do I just keep forgetting how amazing the food is? Generous portions (no, really HUGE -- the tacos will do you in). Great flavors from seasonal ingredients. Get the soups ... if they're available. Vegetarian options are delicious and filling here.

So friendly owner and he recommended these two, a chicken tamale and a pork pupusas. 10/10 on taste and it was also really cheap for a rather large meal.

This is my go to when I need a tamale fix. I will always grab a few tacos, pupusa and whatever else tickles my fancy but the tamales are so good. This is a tiny bodega of a store with some good groceries and a few tables. It’s nothing fancy ... and everything delicious. The staff are always so nice and explain all my many questions.

PUPUSAS!!! it might seem odd when you walk in, and you might feel a little lost, but just trust me on this one. walk up the stairs to the cashier. look up and to your right. order. anything. it’s all good. i suggest the chicken and cheese pupusa. then go ... hand your order to the folks at the back where it says employees only. and then wait. it takes a few minutes to create delicious! did i mention it’s also incredibly cheap? $3.25 for one. if you want to pay debit, just buy two! you’ll probably want two anyways. your welcome.
