Rodriguez arrived as a refugee from the Salvadoran Civil War in Canada as a child in the late 80s. He’s gone to culinary school, worked at a two-Michelin-star restaurant in Spain, and held a high-profile job as a chef at a winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake. But what drew him back to Toronto a few years ago was the Kensington Market mezcal bar El Rey.

Casamiento is a pupuseria specializing in El Salvador's national dish.

This casual takeout spot serves the trifecta of hand-held Latin American eats — tacos, quesadillas, and pupusas — but it's the latter,  stuffed with ingredients like beans, cheese, and pork revuelta, that make it shine.
