La Morena

A small takeout spot with a handful of dine-in seats. This spot serves great Ecuadorian food, as told by my wife who spent her childhood in Ecuador. They also have an Argentinean empanada and Columbian empanada. The food was very tasty and fresh. Highly recommend if you're looking for good ceviche, empanadas or honestly anything on their menu.

I tried a few different empanada places always in search of one I liked. Up until now I've always disliked them. These were the best i've ever had. The place is a quaint little shop which is family owned and operated. The owners are very friendly and make great food. The hot sauce is also the right mix of heat and flavour. I personally prefer the yellow hot-sauce over the red, but they're both up to par. The red can go on virtually anything. You can also grab an entire box of empanadas to take home cooked or uncooked, similar to a Jamaican patty place, which is a great option. Discovered that they serve main dishes before 6pm as well, looking forward to trying some one afternoon.

Amazing food .. quality, flavor...a real sense of home cooking. Best Ecuadorian food in Toronto. Everyone must try their empanadas! A+ to them. And the welcoming feeling the host provides it's refreshing in such a hectic and cold place that's this city.

Seriously good empanadas. The vegan with sweet potato and mushroom is the best empanada I’ve ever had anywhere. Great variety of options, and everything is fresh and prepared with care. Recommended.

Lovely little cafe with different regional empanadas. They walked us through all of the different empanadas and also helped us with a food sensitivity. Enjoyed all of the empanadas with the green hot sauce.Food: 5/5

This little jewel of deliciousness is luckily in my hood. A small family run business that delivers quality South American delights. I love their corn mush and cheese wrapped in corn husk, Chilean empanadas are fab as well.

What a nice little spot! The hornado sandwich was excellent. The flavors mix very well in the sandwich. The Maduro con queso was great and it reminded me of my visit to Ecuador. I will be back for the empandas and bolon. Definitely recommended.

This place is excellent. They offer a wide selection of empanadas and traditional South American food. We ask the cashier for a recommendation and that is how we tried the ceviche 10/10

DELICIOUS Colombian style cornflour empanadas from this family-run local spot! Not only were these incredibly CRISPY - but the flavours inside were fantastic! The chicken one first picture was my fave. I may be strategically planning a visit there to try out the rest of their menu :

Great empanadas, also fun to have some many different country's version of them. Will be back to try the other yummy food options in the near future. We'll try the full lunch deals too. Very recommended.
