OVERVIEW

Taco Lupita and Pizzeria Popolo are part of the Woodcliffe Landmark Property – Waterworks Food Hall. Waterworks is a residential and mixed-use real estate development in a transformed 1930’s era public utilities building featuring stylish city condos, a beautiful food hall, and a fully outfitted YMCA all connected to St. Andrew’s Playground. Located in the heart of Toronto near the dynamic King West corridor, Waterworks is an artful blend of heritage industrial architecture and modernism where early century meets cool contemporary. The Waterworks food hall is designed to be more than a destination for good food from local merchants, but a social centerpiece of the community. It is a place where co-workers can meet for lunch, you can grab a morning coffee, or take a date for dinner.
