Carmelitas Restaurant

Mole dishes

Rich, complex mole sauce built over hours — dark, layered with dried chiles and chocolate, the kind you don't find at most Toronto Mexican spots

Enchiladas

Smothered in house-made sauce rather than poured from a can — the sauce work here is what separates them from the crowd

Tacos

Traditional fillings on soft tortillas — the kind of taco that puts the accent on the meat and its seasoning, not the garnish
