Toronto has had its fair share of clothing related pop ups but of late the food centric variety has taken off, and LA CARNITA is leading the pack.

In only a short period of time they have built a massive cult following as people can’t seem to get enough of their cool mix of art and tacos. We caught up with LA CARNITA at SPIN social club where they were hosting a popup in collaboration with the 10 year anniversary of digital design firm, ONE METHOD. The night proved to be a good combination of tacos, ping pong and great music.
