Pick The Order That Fits
- Several fillings chosen taco by taco: Gus Tacos at 225 Augusta, with individual online pickup examples.
- A five-taco restaurant order: El Trompo at 277 Augusta; most taco listings specify five, but the fish taco is a one-taco exception. Current prices are not displayed on the official menu.
- Beef birria with broth included: Birria Catrina’s CAD 29.40 Combo 2 at 267 Augusta includes five tacos, a small consommé and a can of pop.
| Restaurant | Example Order | Price Context, CAD | What To Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gus Tacos, 225 Augusta | One chicken taco + one carnitas taco | 13 using two 6.50 online pickup listings | Counter pricing is unverified; plan where to eat |
| El Trompo, 277 Augusta | A standard five-taco order | Price not posted on the official menu | Confirm current price and whether fillings can be mixed; Monday closed |
| Birria Catrina, 267 Augusta | Combo 2: five tacos, small consommé, can of pop | 29.40 on the official and linked pickup menus | This is the dine-in branch, separate from 214 Augusta |
Prices and formats were checked October 14, 2026. Gus’s CAD 13 is an illustrative two-taco online pickup subtotal, not a meal deal or verified counter price; it excludes tax, tip, drinks and any fulfilment fees. Birria Catrina’s CAD 29.40 is a listed combo price; its menu view does not state whether tax is included. Check the tax treatment and final amount before paying. El Trompo’s missing price is deliberately left unestimated.
Gus Tacos For An Individual Order You Can Build
Gus Tacos — Kensington is useful when your appetite calls for choosing the count yourself. The official menu puts tacos on corn tortillas with onion, cilantro and a filling choice. The 225 Augusta Avenue pickup menu, with Pickup selected, displays chicken and carnitas tacos at CAD 6.50 each. One of each gives a CAD 13 food subtotal, with no broth or drink included in that example.
Mushroom and fresh-cheese-with-avocado options appear on the official menu, so companions can start from different filling preferences. Confirm preparation for any dietary restriction; the list does not establish allergy safety. The branch page posts daily service, 11 a.m.–9 p.m., while online ordering ends earlier. Use it for an individual collection plan and settle where you will eat.
El Trompo For A Five-Taco Order
El Trompo earns its place through a useful detail on the official taco menu: five tacos per order, with a one-taco exception for the fish listing. Al pastor comes with marinated pork, pineapple, onion and cilantro on corn tortillas; tinga is shredded chicken in tomato and chipotle sauce. Mushroom options include hongo, or quesongo with melted cheese.
Think of this as ordering a five-taco plate; confirm whether you can split the fillings before planning it as a sampler. Appetite still determines whether that is the right amount for you. Current prices are not posted, so confirm both the price and any mixing request before ordering. 277 Augusta Avenue is the restaurant address; the food truck is a separate service. Published hours begin at 11 a.m. Tuesday–Sunday, with Monday closed.
Birria Catrina For Tacos With Their Broth
Birria Catrina — 267 Augusta gives beef-birria lunch a complete published order: Combo 2 contains five tacos, a small consommé and a can of pop for CAD 29.40. Both the official menu and its linked 267 Augusta pickup menu display that combo and price. The tacos pair stewed beef with onion and cilantro; the consommé supplies the accompanying broth.
Choose this if you want that beef-and-broth format, rather than a group’s assorted fillings. The official page identifies 267 Augusta Avenue as the eat-in, pickup and delivery location, with dining in a shared space. 214 Augusta is its other Kensington pickup address; selecting the name alone can send you to the wrong plan. Confirm the final tax treatment and any fees in your ordering mode.
Choose Lunch Before Choosing The Route
For a smaller order or companions who want separate fillings, start with Gus and the taco count each person actually wants. For a five-taco plate, El Trompo is worth checking when you are comfortable confirming the price before committing. For beef birria with its broth already included, Birria Catrina’s published combo is the most explicit package here; use the 267 Augusta branch when staying to eat is part of the plan.
Do not compare CAD 13 with CAD 29.40 as if they purchased the same lunch. One example has two tacos; the other has five, broth and a drink. If you are meeting on Monday, remove El Trompo from the shortlist. For a broader choice of meal formats, our Kensington Market lunch guide compares other orders, while the neighbourhood planning page keeps the addresses together.
