“ The place to be! I had a great time. The food was awesome especially pollo frito (definitely recommended)! Joey was amazing. We need more great customer service like this. Thanks for the awesome experience ! 10/10- oh and don't forget the churro ! ”
“ I randomly found this place on Google maps and decided to go with the wife, I'm so glad I did. The food here was so good. The street corn for starters was super tasty, one order comes with two pieces. Also got the nacho share platter, we added steak to it but honestly you can get this on its own if your also getting tacos and it would be still sooooo good. all the tacos were great my absolute favorite was the shrimp tacos next time might just go for 3 of those. Happy I found this place can't wait to go back. ”
“ Stopped in after a day of shopping. Shared some chips and guacamole and a burrito bowl. So tasty and fresh. Cold Sol's and we were happy with full bellies. Can't wait to stop in again. ”
“ Service was quite slow here and it wasn't even that busy. The food itself is decent but some of the tacos were more on the salty side. There are other places better for tacos and Mexican food but if you're near square one then this place you can try. ”
“ Review from the experience in August 2021 I had the pleasure of visiting La Carnita at Square One with a friend , and it was an amazing experience! We decided to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful evening, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the setting made for an ideal spot to talk, eat, and soak in the ambiance. We ordered the Eight Spice Tiger Shrimp and fries, drinks and I have to say, the shrimp was absolutely fantastic! The flavors were bold and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of spice. The fries complemented the dish wonderfully, making for a satisfying meal. Overall, it was a great time, with delicious food and a lovely environment. Highly recommend La Carnita if you're looking for a spot to enjoy good food and a chill vibe in Square One! ”
“ I’ve had many burritos throughout my life from just about every spot, however I have to to say that no one has ever come close to the burritos you get here at La Carnita Square One. You will come across not only the friendliest staff (shout out to Sam for the beyond excellent service!!) but you will also be able to indulge in the most delicious Mexican cuisine I would say arguably in all of the GTA, don’t miss out on this gem of a spot. ”

Welcome to La Carnita, a vibrant culinary hotspot located in the heart of Mississauga, Canada. Nestled at 100 City Centre Drive, this restaurant invites you to dive into a world of bold flavors and fresh ingredients that transport you straight to Mexico with each delicious bite.
As I stepped into La Carnita, I was immediately struck by the lively atmosphere and inviting decor that seemed to pulse with energy. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, echoing the sentiments of customers like Sadiya R Tasnim, who praised the “beautiful environment” and “efficiently fast” service. Speaking of service, I couldn't help but notice how the friendly staff, particularly Joey, make dining here feel personal and special—just ask Afia Okyere, who raved about her experience and gave La Carnita a perfect 10/10 for customer service.
The menu at La Carnita is a treasure trove of options that showcase traditional Mexican cuisine with a modern twist. For burrito lovers, the Chorizo Mexicano Burrito is nothing short of divine. Featuring spicy chorizo sausage, creamy guacamole, and a perfect blend of sauces, it’s a feast for the senses. If you're seeking something plant-based, try the Beyond Vegan Mexicano Burrito, which boasts flavorful Beyond Meat chorizo and a delightful assortment of fresh toppings. Each bite resonates with a medley of textures and flavors, leaving your taste buds dancing.
For those who love to share, the Homestyle Taco Kit is a must-try. Serving two to three people, it comes fully loaded with either Mexican chorizo or achiote chicken, and all the fixings you could desire. It’s the perfect way to add a fun, communal element to your dining experience. I personally adored the LC Nachos, topped with melted queso and a vibrant assortment of toppings that made it the ideal starter to accompany your meal.
As Reza Evol shared, the street corn and shrimp tacos are standout dishes as well. The delicate sweetness of the corn and the bold flavors of the taco fillings create a satisfying blend that keeps bringing customers back for more.
