Inmigrante

What is Inmigrante? Perched on Queen Street East in The Beach, Inmigrante is a lively Latin American spot that brings the vibrant flavours of South and Central America to Toronto's east end. Owners Sergio Calderon and Rafael Bastidas, immigrants from Venezuela and Mexico respectively, have crafted an intimate and soulful space, featuring teak dining tables, a polished cement bar, and a convivial, heated back patio playfully dubbed the "Bunch of immigrants at the back."

Inmigrante Menu & What to Order The menu at Inmigrante shines with traditional botanas perfect for sharing, drawing influences from across Latin America. Don't miss the rich Quesa Birria tacos, the refreshing Ceviche Peruano, or the satisfying Venezuelan arepas filled with reina pepiada or carne mechada. For drinks, their innovative cocktails like the smoked Cuba Libre or the piña colada with a housemade coconut popsicle are standouts, and the Pescado Frito is a must-try for a truly authentic experience.

Know Before You Go Inmigrante operates Tuesday through Thursday from noon, opening at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, and offers extended hours into the evening on weekends, starting at 11:00 a.m. for a bustling brunch scene. Reservations can be made by calling or texting 647-628-8180, though the laid-back atmosphere often accommodates walk-ins for those exploring the Beach neighbourhood.
