Edgar’s Latin International

I love this little place and their empanadas! Great deal and tons of vegetarian options which I loved. My husband really loved the pulled pork and beef ones. Check it out !!!

Specialty: Latin American baked goods
Reviewed: Bizcochos and Alfajores
Argentinian born Edgar is the owner and baker, along with his wife, of this cute and tiny Latin store in south Etobicoke. Edgar’s is both a convenience store filled with Latin goods as well as a bakery (especially if you make it there early enough). Edgar and his lovely wife spend their weekend baking in the kitchen everything from Argentinian Bizcochos, Breads and Alfajores, to Salvadorean Pupusas and even Colombian Empanadas.
In my opinion, Edgar’s bizcochos are the best treat you can try in this bakery. His use of arequipe (aka dulce de leche) as the filling, letting it rest in the centre just right, no too moist or dry, is fantastic. The pastry in itself is flaky and fluffy and not overpowering, a great balance to the sweetness found inside this goodie treat.
Alfajores are another great addition to Edgar’s assortment of Latin findings. Although Edgar’s alfajores are really up to par with some of the best bakeries, Bagel Flame’s still remains my favourite.
My take on Edgar is that there is nothing in the Latin world of baked goods that he will not try in his kitchen.
Buen Provecho,
Viviana.
