When it comes to [restaurant hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restaurant-and-lounge), an eatery and a grocery store is a winning combination. This business model does not only cater to an interesting experience but it also allows for the establishment to advertise its offerings via a cooked meal. Located in the Bloordale Village in Toronto, Latin World opens its doors for authentic cuisine and [Central/South American experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joy-burgers-and-plants).

Patrons are immersed in a busy interior that is not polished or arranged in a design-forward manner. Yet, this is part of the charm of Latin World. While the guacamole and nachos go for $5 CAD, consumers can indulge in tamales for $3 CAD or [four tacos for $10 CAD](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuffed-grilled-tacos). In addition, the restaurant hybrid has a special on certain days that makes tacos available for $1 CAD.
