Travelling from Canada to Mexico? If you're headed to the state of Baja California Sur, you'll now have to pay a mandatory tax.It's going to cost you a little more to travel to the popular Mexican state that's known for its nightlife, marine life, and luxury resorts, after the government of Baja California Sur announced that the Embrace It Tax is now in effect.That means all foreign visitors, including travellers from Canada, planning to visit the state in the northwest of Mexico will now be required to pay the tax before entry.What is the Embrace It Tax?According to the Ministry of Tourism and Economy, Baja welcomed 1.9 million travellers between January and May 2025, a 3.2 per cent increase from the previous year.

2 h. ago Shuttered Toronto Mexican spot reopens in new location with beer garden

A Toronto restaurant from one of the city’s most well-regarded chefs has just been replaced with a new Mexican restaurant and beer garden.It was the closure heard around the city when renowned Toronto chef, Anthony Rose, decided to close the doors on Fet Zun, the quasi-sister location to Toronto's much-loved Fat Pasha.Okay, maybe it wasn't quite that big of a deal, but it still came as a shock to the scores of Annex locals who frequented the restaurant.Boasting a massive indoor footprint, as well as ample backyard space (which housed Madame Boeuf and Flea, its burger pop-up) and a spacious front patio, the restaurant, despite being open year-round, was particularly a summertime staple.Lingering dormant since Fet Zun's closure in December of 2024, the question loomed large as to what would replace it for months.
