La Carnita has three locations in the Toronto area, and we visited the one on 106 John Street in the downtown area. After experiencing some fear factor-like hornets at a previous place where we had to leave before eating, it was refreshing to have some good indoor seating in this Mexican restaurant.

La Carnita Carne Asada Nachos - September 2026 La Carnita Carne Asada Nachos - September 2026 Distribution of Toppings The distribution of toppings was absolutely perfect. As you can see, these nachos were loaded and there was not one bare chip left behind. Quality It was a nice creamy tray of nachos with amazing seasoning. The carne asada was perfectly tender and well seasoned. The chips were great as well even though there were a few mushy chips on the bottom.

The theme that seems to be occurring throughout 2020 is that homemade nachos are becoming much more impressive than anything that can be experienced out there at a restaurant. Sometimes the restaurant can cook better than friends and family, but most times, nothing beats a good home cooked meal. This was one of those times. Pete is a guy that I recently met for the first time and one of the first facts about myself that I revealed to him was that I have tried almost all the nachos in Saint John and rated them in this blog. He started telling us about how to make good nachos and then, all of a sudden, we were devouring not one plate, but two huge plates of his nachos that he took a lot of time to prepare.
I really honestly do not think I've had nachos like this before. Every bite was full of flavor and my photographer added the dips on the side to make it a big explosion in your mouth every step of the way to completion of what would heavily compete with Sneaky Dee's in Toronto. I also liked how there was pineapple on it and how Pete dared to do something different from the usual.
I appreciate that he made them for us not once but two different nights on the weekend. What a treat!
Thank you!
