La Libre is a 90-seat backyard patio inspired by Mexico's Yucatán region. It is located directly behind Hacienda, the funky taqueria at Dupont and Avenue Road – although it boasts its own unique menu. Romantic patio lights hang from rafters and a retractable awning offers rainy day coverage. La Libre serves delicious traditional Mexican fare such as bocaditos, tacos and postres, and much of their food is cooked on their outdoor charcoal grill.
Toronto restaurateur David Sidhu started a foodie revolution when he opened his first Mexican joint in spring 2011. Years later, the wildly successful Playa Cabana chain has expanded across the city — but there’s something special about this original Annex location. Housed in a converted house on a residential stretch of Dupont, the neighbourhood tacqueria boasts an eclectic menu of fresh tacos made with sustainable ingredients like free-range chicken, AAA Ontario beef and house made chorizo.
This beachy backyard hideaway is situated behind Playa Cabana Hacienda and serves up its own unique Yucatan menu bursting with smoky tropical flavours. The 90-seat space boasts colourful sandblasted patio furniture and string lights. The fully outdoor space also features a sturdy retractable awning for those rainy days. Southern Mexican specialties include red snapper ceviche and tacos al pastor stuffed with spicy pork and sweet pineapple.
