Okay Maguey

What is Okay Maguey? Located at 235 Augusta Avenue, Okay Maguey brings energetic central Mexican street food culture to Kensington Market's bustling commercial corridor. The brightly painted counter-service dining room acts as a relaxed neighbourhood hub, complete with screens tuned into soccer matches and upbeat Latin tunes. Seating is casual and unpretentious, tailored for quick counter orders, casual indoor dining, and on-the-go market snacking.

Okay Maguey Menu & What to Order The kitchen goes well beyond the city's standard taco rotation, specializing in monumental Cubana Giant Tortas packed with breaded cutlets, ham, and melted cheese, alongside griddled huaraches and thick masa sopes. Standouts include traditional pambazos—soft rolls dipped in vibrant guajillo pepper sauce and stuffed with chorizo and potatoes—as well as savory chicken enmoladas draped in deep mole. Pair your plates with a cup of slow-simmered beef consommé or an iced Jarritos, and be sure to dab on their fiery house-made salsa macha.

Know Before You Go The restaurant operates strictly on a walk-in basis, with lunch rushes and weekend foot traffic moving quickly thanks to speedy kitchen turnover. Parking around Kensington Market is notoriously limited, making the 510 Spadina or 506 Carlton streetcars the easiest ways to arrive. Operating hours end in the early evening and the shop is closed on Tuesdays.
