So this past week was my birthday ! It was an excellent time with laughs, friends and of course FOOD! I got to try one of the best desserts...Churros! The Restaurant La Cantra Taqueria in Toronto specializes in Mexican food, and for dessert they offer the best churros I have ever had. The Churro's were long long in length and came with a little bowl of apple caramel de leche sauce. I have never tasted anything so wonderful in my life. I'm not a huge fan of caramel de leche, but somehow this restaurant managed to make an excellent sauce. Typically de leche sauce is all caramel and thick, this sauce was warm, milky and had an apple flavour in the caramel. The Churro dipped in that sauce would melt in your mouth with every bite , they were very generous with the sauce which is always a plus. The churros were fried to perfection and very full in cinnamon flavour.
The next night I went out for a family birthday dinner to Oliver and Bonacini. After the main course, I was scanning through their dessert menu and low and behold they had Churros! So I ordered the them to make a comparison and because I enjoyed the ones from the night before. The Churros were okay. They were smaller in length , a lot more fried and coated in cinnamon sugar. They were also very sweet and came with regular de leche sauce. I did like them, but I enjoyed the ones from La Cantra Taqueria much more. I felt the focus s was more in the presentation more so then the taste and flavour. I still did enjoy the Churros though! It was a great part to my birthday week, just spending time with family and friends.
