Nestled inside Milagro, this vibrant counter serves up hearty Mexican sandwiches and quesadillas, crafted right before your eyes with a colorful flair.
Went to their pop up inside the Milago Mexican restaurant (adjacent to Nobu) Limited seating, 5 stools at a counter facing kitchen, can't get more homier then this, watching staff cook your order right in front of your eyes.
Ordered their Cubana sandwich and chorizo quesadillas
Sandwich had thick char grilled pork slices in addition to the normal Cubana ingredients, ham, cheese, bacon, tomatoes, jalapenos, pickles, etc. Bread toasted with a nice crunchy exterior.
Quesadillas generously filled with cheese and minced chorizo grilled on a flat top.
Although I wouldn't consider a Cubana sandwich a Mexican dish, they pulled it off very well. The quesadillas were grilled well although I thought they were too generous with the cheese which overwhelmed the chorizo and flour tortillas.
Finally found a Mexican pop up in a Mexican restaurant, I can cross that off my bucket list now, lol.

Great canteen inside of a larger restaurant. Pretty good sandwiches that are so well filled they fall apart when you eat them! The Cubana is very good and well worth it.

We got two tortas that were from here but through the Milagro cross-sell, interesting that that's how this spot is set up. The sandwiches were great and we were able to take them into TIFF for our movie. We asked for jalapenos on the side, which was a good decision in retrospect because it wasn't as spicy as usual Latin American food can be.
We also had a horchata each and that was also great.

We ordered the La Cubana and the Del Chavo.
I really enjoyed the porky taste of La Cubana (Roasted adobo pork, ham, smoked bacon, gouda cheese, , tomato, avocado & house jalapeños).
Great Quality Food. Great and Friendly Staffs!
Over all it was a great visit.
It was just a little challenging to find the spot.
It is inside MILAGRO.

This "permanent pop-up" is located within another restaurant called Milagro Cantina. The sign outside fell over so it took me 10 extra minutes to find it. Get some proper signage!
Ordered only a conchinita sandwich for lunch and was promised it would be quick. 25 minutes later my sandwich arrives with no apology, leaving me no time to eat it at the counter. Restaurant was not busy. 5 chefs in the kitchen and none of them look busy. They prioritize the meals for the main restaurant it seems.
Pork meat was dry and burnt coz I witnessed the cook leave it on the griddle way too long. See pics for proof.
Terrible first experience. Be warned.

Great experience from start to finish food was fresh and came out fast. The bun was nice I was scared it was gonna be tough and chewy but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavours were beautiful. My only regret was the missing of pickles on the cubana sandwich. The churros were soft and more airy than I typically like but all and all it was a great meal.
Definitely grab some house pickles jars and carrots!

First of all when I walked in this place I immediately loved the vibe it was relaxed yet vibrant with the colourful decor and music. The Poblana sandwich was excellent. I didn't expect the bread to be so light, it went perfectly with the heavy fillings. The mole was flavourful, chicken moist, it worked so well. Every bite was an explosion of flavour. I'll be going back to try every single other sandwich.

These traditional Mexican sandwiches are so on point. They are great for any time of the day imo.
We stopped by here for a little brunch torta in Kensington Market on a chilly day.
My YEA and I decided on the egg, bacon, and avocado torta as a nice start to the day.
I always find these sandwiches to be quite generous so I usually can share this with my YEA and it is enough for the both of us.
The sandwich was super-hearty with the nice fluffy egg omelette stacked on top of a few thick slices of bacon, re-fried beans, tomatoes, and avocado.
The bun didn’t get soggy and was able to take the impact of the ingredient it was trying to keep contained. If you slip a few slices of their pickled jalapeños into the sandwich, it just add a sweet and spicy dimension that gets you going.
You can’t go wrong with this spot if you are looking for a delicious sandwich with some flair and flavour.
