El Catrin Destileria is a Distillery District Mexican room built around shareable plates, a dramatic mural, a heated patio, and a deep tequila-and-mezcal bar. The strongest food anchors are Birria Tacos, Tuna Tostadas, Costilla Cargada, tableside guacamole, and a taco-and-botanas spread that suits groups.
A Kensington Market mezcal bar with a compact taco menu, late hours, real brunch, and reservations for bar seats or the dining room.
An art-forward brewery taproom in Trinity-Bellwoods where Collective Arts' beer identity meets a Mexican kitchen: Beer-ria, Mushroom Quesabirria, taco flights, happy hour, patio and live music under the same Dundas West roof. Parent-brand founders Matt Johnston and Bob Russell belong in the backstory; no current chef source surfaced for the Toronto kitchen.
Reposado Bar & Lounge is an Ossington agave bar built around tequila, mezcal, live music, and a compact tapas menu. The Reposado Margarita, Mezcal Flight, fresh ceviche, and back patio make it a drink-led Toronto night rather than a full-dinner play.
