Segovia Meats

My hubby and I were introduced to this meat shop/​food place last year and we like it. Being a vegetarian, the only thing I have tried here is the ‘Corn mashed’ served with tomato salsa and sauces you can add. I really enjoy this dish thorough every time I eat it. My hubby loves his empanadas as well.
Would recommend to friends/​family. I am giving it 3 stars mainly because there’s no proper place to sit especially if you have a little one with you or during winter months (too cold to stand outside and eat). Staff seem just okay, older lady there doesn’t really smile much.

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

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.
We ordered 2 empanadas (mozzarella and humita), a Brazilian chicken ball, and a small empanada. It came out to be about $ 12 after tax and it managed to fill the 2 of us.
The empanadas are decent in size for their price. The stuffing for humita was nice. I love spinach and vegetables in general. Mozzarella was awesome (cheese is never bad). The chicken ball was shockingly filling. Not sure what was inside exactly but I think it was chicken and cheese. MmmmmMM. It filled me up in just a few bites.
I would come again.

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 was going to get something to sample, regardless of how full I was.
I ordered the Chorizo Chili and some Colombian empanadas. The Chorizo Chili itself wasn’t the thickest or richest of chilis, as the base was a bit too watery, but the fillings themselves were very good. It was a styrofoam cup packed with beans, bell peppers, onions, and sliced chorizo sausage. I thought ground chorizo might of been good to add, as it could have brought some «thick» to the chili, but I love Chorizo slices all the same. Flavor was there, but it was much more like soup than chili.
The Colombian Empanadas are inexpensive tiny little morsels of goodness. Small empanadas (Latin dumplings of sorts) that are made of mashed masarepa (ground cornmeal) that is fried and filled with ground meat and potatoes. The cornmeal flavor is wonderful and the nice touch of spiciness stemming from the meat, along with the starchiness of the potato makes it a wonderful one or two biter snack.
Come here for raw meats and sausages if you have time. I would definitely have gotten myself some chorizos and churrasco steaks if I lived around downtown. Otherwise, it’s a great little snack shop.
P. S. Try Inca-​Cola if you’ve never had it. It was one of my favorites growing up and is rare to see outside Kensington Market.

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).

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 a brazilian dessert cookie. I liked everything we had here and my buddy said it was made just like they did back home.
Prices are cheap, most things are well under $ 5 and the sizes of the things are fair.
The service was very good as well, there are no seats but the guy working the counter had no problem with us standing by the front while we ate, very friendly and down to earth atmosphere.
It’s a great place for some quick south American food, fills you up real cheap and here they make it like it is meant to be made.
I rate this place 4 stars, I gave them 5 stars because they have a poster of Trudeau that says in Spanish «Trudeau: in Latino’s hearts forever!»
old schools liberals know whats up.

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 Peruvian stew we’re making tomorrow at chez moi…
The filling is nicely seasoned with cumin, it has little morsels of black olives, and the beef juicy, which must have been cooked for a long time.
The price of their meats are fair for the quality you’re getting… For 5 good sized chorizo it cost me about $ 10.
Top 3 choices that I recommend: Argentine chorizo, spiced Colombian chorizo, and morcilla (South American blood pudding)…
Tonight we eat «chori pan»! Roasted Argentine style chorizo on a crusty Portuguese bun with home made chimichurri sauce (parsley, garlic, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, smoked paprika, light cumin spice).

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, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Colombia, ay ay ay! Though it may seem pricey (a recent 3-​link purchase ran me about $ 8.50), one single link is at least a third size larger than the piddly uninspiring ones seen at your grocery store meat counter.
Plus, as Jennifer L says, the guy who works here is super sweet; when he wishes me a good day, he actually sounds like he means it.

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 me «Bike safe!» right before I leave. NICE PEOPLE, GREAT SAUSAGES.
