Jumbo Enchelada

Kensington, one of my favourite place in the city of Toronto, became even better on saturday when my sister introduced me to this small place called Jumbo Enchelada. I probably walked in front of it dozens of time without ever really noticing it. We had skipped breakfast in our eagerness to go outside one of the first nice days since winter started, but soon stomachs were growling and conversation quickly went to food. We walked in front of this store with the paint looking chipped and old, a place that is not noticeable. It fits into Kensington well though, and I should have tried it a long time before now, I feel like I have been missing something now. So much wasted time.
When we entered the latin music was fun and although not quite noon yet I felt like dancing. The menu was on a board on the wall, a very small menu but, in this case, size did NOT matter. I had never heard of most things, i read there, but luckily there were descriptions beneath each items. I chose humitas. I don't really know how to describe it, it was a mixture of mush corn and herbs wrapped in corn leaves. It sound simple and it was but it was also wonderfully tasty, especially when paired with their home made salsa.
On the way out, I saw some funny looking flat bread made of flour and squash and thought sounds strange and intersting enough. It was definetly worth the 50 cents, i woudl have paid more for the tasty snack, and i can't wait for my next forray into Kensington, I think a stop at Jumbo Enchelada will be a most! Every time.
