Finally something interesting happening down at Front Street!…read more I love the set up! The Popup vendors! Just the whole idea and concept and it is well executed! Here you can get a snack, a drink, a full meals from some of Toronto's most popular business/restaurants and some of them don't even have a store front! Price might be a little more than getting from the original store but you can get everything here! Tacos from Mad Mexician, Burger from Holy Chuck and especially the over hyped Uncle Tetsu Cheesecake was served as individual portion and no line up when I arrived around 10:30 am. There is also a nice seating area with entertainment. This is better than any food trucks or any of the gimmicky events I been to that required an admission fee and it will be here till end of September! Too bad Toronto's summer is so short! Enjoy the experience while you can and hopefully this would be a constant yearly event from now on!

You know Union station used to be the worst area for anyone traveling. By that I mean on foot, by…read moresubway and even worse, in a car. Well you can put all those things behind you (for now) because for the most part the area is all cleaned up and fully functional. On top of this, they added some real street cred by dropping a food market right smack in front of front (get it!). Front Street Foods, offers a vast selection of treats for travelers looking to grab some food in a pinch or locals just looking to try something different. Before I sound like a travel brochure, just know that most of the options prior were either McDonald's, or Mmmm Muffins. Not gunna hate, but sometimes a guy needs to treat himself knowmsayin? Anyway, I got it started with a Fried Oyster Bao from Yolo. Yes, YOLO the acronym designed and made famous by our very own Drake. You know, Drake, the type of guy who cries when cutting carrots so that the onions won't feel alone. Yeah that's the one! This place has nothing to do with him besides the horrible name of the food stand, but yeah that Fried Oyster was aight. Next up was Uncle Tetsu for dessert. Now this is where things get even better. Not only was there NO LINE UP for the cheesecake, we were also able to purchase the new Matcha Green Tea for the first time. I was great, really it was, but that's not the end of it. Uncle Tetsu, was actually there in the flesh, dancing with fans and openly taking selfies with people. What a great guy, I wish we all had an Uncle Tetsu in our family. Check out this joint, before the summer is over and it turns into a mound of snow obstructing your walk in December, YOLO. Toronto needs more of this and less of Drake. You know, the type of guy whose eyes roll back in his head when he eats chocolate.

Awesome staff! Awesome food! They have a great selection of items and different flavors. The setup…read moreis very cute, kind of like a food truck rodeo vibe. Food is made fresh right in front of you and worth the short wait. Took my Korean corndog on my walk and got asked where I got it by a bunch of people because I couldnt hold back how delicious it was! I have had a good number of Korean corndogs but ones made fresh like that are unmatched. I got the Mozzarella Korean Corndog, soooo good, that cheese pull!

My friend and I had come to the World Food Market across from Ryerson University looking for Korean…read morehotdogs. We ventured into the fenced in area in search for this food booth but couldn't find it despite walking around twice. It turns out that it's located on the outside of the fenced in area and facing Ryerson University. This was one of the busier booths with a steady stream of customers. Each hotdog is made to order so it does take a few minutes. Along with the variety of Korean hotdogs there are specials such as 2 of the regular hotdogs plus an appetizer or with a drink. There's 10+ sauces to choose from to dress up your hotdog. I found that there was too much batter on the hotdog. I wasn't sure what sauce would go well and asked for a recommendation. I ended up with honey mustard and sweet mayo. Since it's already dusted in sugar it was too sweet with the sweet sauces.

Tropic Love serves fresh fruit smoothies that you can drink from the fruits, making them very…read moreInstagram-worthy. All the smoothies are made fresh, containing only the fruit mixed with ice / water - no sugar added. Selection includes watermelon, pineapple, and coconut water. They're present at most street food festivals throughout the city, serving fresh and healthy drinks that quench your thirst. I like the tiki-hut style bar that they operate out of; it adds a nice tropical feel. Other offerings include fruit gourmet ice pops and all-natural sorbets in fruit shells - perfect for summer!

Marianne's is THE BEST place to get hotdogs / street meat in the city!…read more Located right in front of Mount Sinai Hospital, this vendor's been here for years and is really an institution here on Hospital Row. And in the last couple of years, Marianne's expanded to feature a wider range of food - it's not just hotdogs, people! She offers baked potato and sweet potato, which you can order on their own OR for those who eat gluten-free: the potato is a GREAT option to swap in place of a bun. You can have any of the meats topping a potato! Marianne's is also in partnership with another Toronto institution, The Barberians Steakhouse, has produced sandwiches that use their spices and meats. Such as roast beef, pulled pork, and soups when in season! Featuring affordable wild game meats like: Bison, Elk, and Wild Boar. These are very tasty and perfect for those who want a little bit more sophistication. All these meats come from local Ontario farms! It's no wonder she's been featured in publications like The Toronto Star and Edible Toronto Magazine! If you get to meet Marianne herself - you'll find that she is the sweetest person and so, so, so passionate about what she does. She knows the people who live and work in the area. She advocates on behalf of food vendors like herself and is actively involved in working towards better policies in the city. Read more about her philosophy at peacetogetherforever.com

Marianne is hands down the best street vendor in the city. I just finished a two year stint of…read moreworking in Mount Sinai hospital, and despite eating there an average of probably three or four times a week, the selection never got tired. While it's easy to dismiss as just another street meat cart, Marianne is constantly updating her menu and trying out new items to make the menu as diverse as possible. Obviously there is a selection of hot dogs and sausages, then add wild meats, pulled pork, ribs, savory muffins, potatoes, soups, grilled peaches, etc. etc. All of which are delicious. Trust me. I've tried everything. In terms of price, I've had someone mention "You know the one up the street is cheaper right?" To which I responded, "Yeah." Marianne's is definitely worth the extra dollar or whatever slight difference it might be. Plus when Barbarian upped the cost of their meats, Marianne still offered good value by creating the Love Plate (consisting of a wild meat and jerk chicken with a baked potato for $6 or so) All around really amazing innovative stuff. Then the most important point of all - Marianne herself. She is possibly one of the nicest people I've met in the city who has a natural sense of warmth and familiarity the second that you meet her. Every transaction is very personal, and it's wonderful to see how she interacts with such a wide array of people be they doctors or patients or construction workers, homeless, children finishing school, Marianne constantly has good rapport with everyone. In a core area of the big city, I find it amazing how someone could create such a small town neighborhood feel - A la Mr. Rogers. Marianne is a huge proponent of community which you can see with her Peace Together Forever movement as well as her heavy involvement in the Street Food Vendors Association. All around amazing lady. Also should mention that everyone else she's brought on to work the stand are also extremely friendly and seem to cater the same attitude. Apologies if you bothered to read this whole thing and found it rambly, but I'm soon to be leaving the city, and I wanted to shed some light on one of my favorite spots, I'm definitely gonna miss it!

I bought two to take home to my kids, but they didn't have any to-go boxes, so I wrapped them up in two fry boxes and put it in a bag.

Recommended for a quick treat as you're exploring the city. There are a few locations around, so not hard to find.

Advertised as a crispy flatbread made from cassava (yuca) flour, it was really just a salad bowl with more ham than salad with crispy chunks at the side, served with sweet sauce on the side. It was so-so - the ham didn't seem grilled, just shredded & the cheese was just shredded, not melted. Got 1 of each empanada (you can mix and match). Plantain was ok with not as much salty & sweet contrast as I'd expected (it was more salty). Tofu was actually quite good with nice spices & a vaguely Indian flavour profile. Beans & bacon & beef were both decent. Tried arepitas dulces, which came with sweet cheese & were flavoured with anise. They were not very sweet & were ok.

We came here for dinner on Thursday night and the place was actually very full. Their parking lot…read morewas very tiny, I was thinking how do people even get in and out of there because it was so compact. But there's a bunch of street parking and neighborhood parking by the restaurant. We got seated pretty quickly. Their menu is very large, it took us a while for us to decide on what to get and also to flag down a server. They had many large parties, even a birthday party on a weeknight which I understand. Also it's very spacious in there too, there's many tables for large parties and small ones. All the servers that took care of us were very friendly and helpful. I ordered four Carne Asada tacos and my boyfriend got the Chicken Fajitas with cheese on top. I also ordered a Pinada drink. The chips and salsa we had to start was good. The chips were crunchy, lightly seasoned, and crispy. It was fun trying out the different salsas to see what we liked the best. I enjoyed my Carne Asada tacos. Granted, I am from California and grew up with good Mexican food so I have very high standards. These tacos weren't the absolute best I've ever tasted, but they were tasty. Also for a single taco, it would've been $7. So seeing that much for a single taco was crazy to me, as I'm used to $4 (USD) ones. However, the carne asada meat was delicious. I think for me, I wish it had a little bit more onions and cilantro to give the overall dish more flavor. My Pinada drink was great. It was creamy, delicious, pretty much a Pina Colada without the alcohol. I loved it. All in all, we enjoyed our time here. For the area, this would be a solid choice to get authentic tacos and mexican food. As I said before, service was great. A little difficult to flag someone down given how busy it is, but they took care of us. I'd come back.

My favourite tacos here are the sirloin and al pastor, but all of them are delicious. The horchata is also nice and refreshing. It's always crowded when I come on weeknights but I've never had to wait too long for a table. Parking is a bit tricky but there's some side streets nearby for street parking.
