Locally designed with the help of some of Toronto’s best street style artists, La Carnita is the spot to enjoy delicious tacos, a handful of churros, run through a mixtape, and wash it all down with a fresh cocktail or beer. Our aim is to serve up a dynamic menu, and connect with the community through our love of art & music.

Located in the North end of the city at 130 Eglinton Ave E. La Carnita's Uptown location is a beautiful open concept, where guests can cozy up in the Winter or enjoy the wrap-around patio in the Summer.

Our extensive cocktail program includes all the classics as well as daily drink specials.

    Have been to every branch of Carnita and this was our first time at Eglinton. The nachos here have always been great, along with tacos with chicken, shrimp and churros for dessert. A bit disappointed that they only had caramel for the churros and not the chocolate.

    Appetizers came at the same time as the main course which is not good. Fortunately the server was quick to correct it and offered us a complimentary dessert. Food was tasty although a bit spicy for some.

    It’s very very noisy and loud. Food was great and the service was good. There were 4 of us and they mixed all of the tacos together and we weren’t sure what was what and one person can’t have dairy and one didn’t eat meat. It would be nice if they just plated the tacos as ordered.

    Music is way too loud and booming for conversation. Completely unnecessary.

    This meal was a bit weird in that some dishes were delicious (chorizo, cod and pollo taco), the steak taco came out very cold, and the apps were a miss (guac used to me fresh but is now obviously not but the chips were good). It was relly weird having half our food delicious, half not very good at all. Service was excellent though.
