El Trompo bills itself as Toronto’s first taquería — a Kensington Market cactus-grill and taco bar at 277 Augusta Ave that has outlasted trends with al pastor, lengua, cochinita pibil, and a west-facing patio. Official eltrompo.ca: fully open again after pandemic pauses; food truck for catering; phone (416) 260-0097. Recent 2026 directories list Sunday–Monday 10:00 a.m.–6:30 p.m.; Tuesday–Thursday 10:00 a.m.–8:30 p.m.; Friday–Saturday 10:00 a.m.–9:30 p.m. (confirm on site). First-timers: al pastor off the trompo, guacamole, a patio seat when the Market is humming. Cash-friendly classic; not a reservation temple.
