great place for a quick snack. Empanadas are fine but Egg and Chicken together is just weird. The pulled pork on fried plantain is one of the best things I have eaten in this city. for $4. Go for that
Very friendly and helpful staff!!! Great selection of many different meats ranging from mild to very spicy!!!!
Delicious chorizo and sausages. Have to try more flavours but I had one with Rosemary that was delicious. Try the bacon as well, you won't be disappointed.
The empanadas are not as good as the chilean across the street, but the chorizo is amazing and fresh!
I haven't tried a lot of Latin American food and I was pleasantly surprised. Dirt cheap food and super delicious.
Anyways, like a lot of stores on Kensington, it can be easy to miss. This is a meat store in the back with a front for selling food. No tables. I'm really sick of seeing so many hot dog stands in Toronto. I think Latin American food would make an excellent street food.

They have a good selection of tasty chorizo as well as great tasting snacks upfront. Most chorizos are priced at 8$ a lb and you have a variety of selection based on the spice level that youre looking for. A must visit if you're in the Kengsington area.
I grabbed two empanadas the pastry was dry, tough and dense. The filling was sparse and not very tasty. I didn't go in the store and try anything else, I will have to next time.
Nice little shop on Augusta Ave in the Kensington Market.
Walking along this graffiti filled street, you'll find many little Latin shops and eateries. Segovia is a tiny narrow carniceria (butcher shop) in Kensington. This small shop offers up a variety of meats with a specialization in chorizo (Spanish sausage) and also offers up some Latin pastries. This place reminds me of home (Miami) and I...

One of my favourite spots in Kensington.
I love their Humitas so much that I always have a few in my freezer at home.
Their chorizo selection is massive and the owners are some of the most wonderful people in the city.
During the summer they have a large takeout station set up beside the front door. Delicious Empanadas and of course my all time fave the Humitas.
Definitely worth checking out...

Great selection of real chorizos always fresh and tasty, and of course a bunch of familiar Latino meat cuts. This is the only place where I've found uncooked "cueritos" (pork rinds).
The empanadas are a great meal on the go since there's no seating at the store. The owner and his mom (really) will serve you in English and Spanish always willing to help out with any recipe or question.
Wish we had more places like this in Hawaii! Fresh sausages that are yummy! Very reasonable prices too. Their sausage selection is wayyy better than the hipster meat place down the street (which will remain unnamed for now).
Mmmm Empanadas! I had a fantastic Humita empanada for lunch today, it was great. There is also a large selection of Chorizo here and several products from South America. Run by very nice people.
I almost always stop by this place when I'm in Toronto for some Colombian empanadas or feijoada brasileira. It's relatively cheap and inexpensive South American food (looks like mostly Chilean, Peruvian, Colombian, and Brazilian). They also have meats as well.
The best place for sausages in Toronto. Such a wide variety of chorizo - spicy and not so, whatever your taste. The butcher is really nice. The chorizo are generous size and reasonably priced. Closed on Mondays, I believe.
excellent place, exactly what I thought it would be. It is a small dirty spoon/butcher place. I went here with my friend who came from Belo Horizonte (brazil) 3 months ago. Empanadas are what they eat there for fast food, and many things in here reminded him of home.
They have a very wide selection of stuff you might find in a food stand in south america, we had empanadas, a chicken ball, and...

Meat, I love meat!
You can find the best variety of chorizo in the market from this humble spot run by some fantastic Chilean people... I have been buying chorizo from them for the past 10 years, mind you I've been away for some time, but after returning it's still the same place I remember.
They sell hot empanada's to go, I had one this morning after buying some veal feet for this hearty...

My 2 experiences at Segovia have been great.
1) Their chorizo stew is amazing!
2) they sell empanada wrappers. The guy working there took the time to explain how to prepare them. He was so helpful and nice. I look forward to trying to make my own empanadas.
Awesome place to buy chorizo. They have numerous varieties such as Columbian, Guatemalan, Spinach etc etc... I am spoiled from buying any other sausage, once you have tried this. This place is a little bit pricey, but I have no problem paying a little extra for these!
I can't believe it's taken me so long to speak fine words about my beloved Segovia.
If there was a meat I was forced to eat every day, it would be chorizo from Segovia. Heck, if there was a single food I was forced to eat every day, it would probably include a smidgen of chorizo from Segovia.
The meat links are bulbous and lip-tremblingly tasty, with fillings tipping a hat to to Mexico,...

I love the excellent variety of sausages/chorizos here. BEST for the BBQ SEASON! There's another counter of other meats and other snackables, but I always head straight for the sausage counter. Some sausages contain things like pineapple, spinach, parsley, and other ingredients I don't remember. But whatever the combo, it's all good.
And the staff is so nice and sweet. The one guy always tells...
