Birria tacos, authentic Mexican cuisine, halal options for everything
Comal y Canela
The best halal Mexican restaurant in the city. Comal y Canela started as an OG viral spot during COVID and has only gotten better since — they've expanded to a bigger restaurant and the food is still exceptional. Everything I've tried here is great and their birria tacos are the best I've had anywhere.
What to Order
Birria tacos are the star — get them. But the menu is full of authentic Mexican dishes that are worth exploring. They handle the halal/non-halal separation properly (they've shown the kitchen setup on video) and there's even Islamic decor alongside traditional Mexican art, which speaks to who they are.
Must Try
Birria tacos. Best in the city. The meat is right, the consommé is right, the cheese pull is right — everything about it is right.
Our take from the visit
The number one halal Mexican spot in Toronto. A little pricier than some alternatives, but absolutely worth it. Comal y Canela is a place you go back to, and every visit is great. The expanded restaurant is worth checking out if you haven't been to the new location yet.
