This is your sign to stop sleeping on @pokeguysto 👀🐟 Been loyal to Poke Guys since high school and for good reason: kind staff, generous portions, quality seafood, and daily deals you’d be silly not to take advantage of. You can either choose from their signature bowls or make your own from scratch. Either way, you’re getting a bowl built exactly the way you prefer it every single time. We went with the Mauna Loa bowl & the Fire Fin bowl. Both slap and trust us, you won’t be leaving hungry. You’re welcome 😌🔥 📸 @sidequestpri @priyananesan 📍 Poke Guys Markham 8110 Birchmount Rd 10, Markham, ON #EatInOntario #PokeBowl #MarkhamEats #TorontoFoodie #MarkhamFoodie

Now this is what a generous poke bowl looks like 👀🔥 @pokeguysto Our order: Mauna Loa - Spicy shoyu salmon with edamame, spicy cucumbers, spicy seaweed salad & masago. Fire Fin - Spicy shoyu tuna with kimchi, fresh mangoes, seaweed salad & masago. Poke Guys Markham never misses. Been coming here since high school and honestly it still hits just as hard. The portions are massive, we’re talking easily two meals worth and they never skimp on the toppings. Quality seafood, daily deals, and a cute little spot right near Markham VIP Cinemas. What more could you ask for? 🙌 📸 @sidequestpri @priyananesan 📍 Poke Guys Markham 8110 Birchmount Rd 10, Markham, ON #EatInOntario #PokeBowl #MarkhamEats #TorontoFoodie #GTAEats

Modern Mexican cuisine in the heart of Kensington Market, and it is absolutely worth the visit 🌮✨ @casamorales.to comes from the same team behind Gus Tacos, and Chef Felipe is bringing something truly special to the table. You can taste the passion and intention behind every single dish. The interior is stunning, the service is warm and incredibly attentive, and the whole experience just feels elevated from start to finish. 🌶️ Pro tip for the spice lovers: ask for the hot sauces. They have three different kinds available and they pair perfectly with everything on the menu! Here’s what we had: 🦀 Del Mar (Seafood Platter) An incredibly fresh and citrusy assortment of seafood featuring crispy fried soft-shell crab, a zesty ceviche with shrimp, scallops and octopus, and briny oysters. The perfect start. 🫑 Chile en Nogada (Stuffed Poblano) Roasted poblano pepper stuffed with a savoury-sweet ground meat blended with fruits, covered in a creamy walnut sauce and garnished with fresh pomegranate and parsley. Creamy, sweet, savoury, nutty, smoky and tangy all in one bite. Unlike anything I have ever tried. 🥩 Carnitas (Pancita and Chicharron) Steaming hot pork belly freshly chopped tableside with crispy chicharron and served in warm tortillas. Rich, juicy and tender. Try it plain first before adding toppings so you can really taste the meat. 🍰 Tres Leches (Durazno/Peach) A light sponge cake soaked in a blend of milks and layered with caramelized peaches. The brûléed top gives the most satisfying crunch and it is the perfect balance of creamy, fruity and sweet. 📍 Casa Morales, 152 Augusta Ave, Toronto, ON 📸 @priyananesan 👩‍🎨 @jahn_2001 . . . #eatinontario #casamorales #torontofoodies #mexicanfood #torontoeats

🌮 Kong’s Hot Tacos 🌮 @kongs.hot.tacos ⭐ 5/5 ⭐ 📍 STACKT Market, 28 Bathurst Street, Toronto, ON M5V 0C6 Pictured: · General Tso Chicken Taco 🐓 · Bulgogi King Ribeye Taco 🥩 · Charr’d Mala BBQ Pork Taco 🐖 · Cheesy Wonder Corn 🌽 · Miso Churro Sundae 🍦 Tacos, but make them wild, bold, and unforgettable. Kong’s Hot Tacos at STACKT Market is a food truck serving up some of the most creative fusion tacos in the city — and every bite delivers. We kicked things off with the General Tso Chicken Taco: crispy sweet-and-sour chicken, sesame slaw, green chutney, and chili oil all wrapped in a pillowy flour tortilla. Sweet, tangy, and just enough heat to keep it interesting. The Bulgogi King Ribeye Taco was the kind of taco that rewrites your expectations: tender ribeye, fried kimchi, red pepper aioli, fresh greens, and a crunch of crispy onions. Balanced, indulgent, and no surprise it's award-winning! Then came the Charr’d Mala BBQ Pork Taco, where sweet char siu meets the tingly heat of mala sauce. With creamy aioli, slaw, herbs, and shallots, it was bold, layered, and straight-up addictive. The Cheesy Wonder Corn? Think smoky, creamy, crunchy street food magic — charred corn, umami aioli, sweet soy, onions and herbs. It’s the side dish that stole the spotlight (well, almost). We finished with the Miso Churro Sundae — warm cinnamon churros, cold vanilla ice cream, rich miso caramel, and a fun little crunch of masago. Unexpected, but totally worked. With fun flavours, fast service, and big personality, Kong’s Hot Tacos brings the heat (and the heart) to STACKT. Creative, casual, and full of fire: it’s a must-stop spot at STACKT Market. 📸 @priyananesan 👩‍🎨 @jahn_2001 ✍️ @prachidhanky . . . #kongshotacos #eatinontario #stacktmarket #torontoeats #gtadining #fusiontacos #koreanfusion #streetfoodto #foodtrucktoronto #torontofoodie #tacoheaven #comfortfoodto #awardwinningflavours #torontobites #tacogram #craveworthy #gtaeats #hotandsweet #malaspice #tacotuesdayeveryday #misoeverything #churrosundae #supportlocalto #asianfusionto #flavourfirst #foodiesoftoronto #tastetoronto #cheesycorn #snackcravings #boldbites
