TausMay 1, 2015Great service and food. Baja tacos were the best. Try the nachos with their fresh guacamole.
Heather McLeanMarch 19, 2018Great margaritas, basa tacos and tequila. Love the atmosphere, lighting and artwork
Leo GonzalesMay 6, 2019Loved the vegetarian burrito. The ceviche could've used more lime juice, imo (still tasty though).
Douglas D. GarriganApril 5, 2015I'm not a huge Mexican food lover but everything I had here was unreal.
Jennika SubramaniamDecember 27, 2013Shrimp and lobster tacos were amazing. Guac was amazing. Steak was cooked medium-rare and hard to chew.
Kim MacFarlaneAugust 9, 2014Be prepared to wait 1.5 hours for a table but food is excellent. Fish tacos and shrimp bucket both A+++.
Mildred GNovember 1, 2014Here with a friend ordered guacamole to share. Much to our surprise portions are small and over priced. nachos were small pieces. Must say place and good is original.yy
Aysegul AkyuzSeptember 21, 2015Great tapas restaurant. Chicken burritos and the baja tacos were very good.
Tammy MartinezOctober 18, 2013El Guacamole como siempre, rico! Sit in front of the Mural and look and see what you really find.
Ginette LuAugust 10, 2014Book one month in advance for large group parties. Also, all finalized items on the fixe menu will be served.
Khanh LyJune 28, 2016Guac made at your table, very nice. Big patio and quick service. I liked the tacos, but not my favourite, had better elsewhere.
Mullica ZudsiriDecember 31, 2016Big venue and beautiful artwork. Try the tacos and the slow cooked rib. The ceviche was ok. Too fruity for me.
Brad MacLellanAugust 30, 2013Get the crab cakes. For the love of God and all that is holy, get the crab cakes!
Great tacos and quesedillas :-)
Katie WestMarch 6, 2015Recommend the pulled pork tacos. Overpriced for the amount of food you get. Cool ambience. Weak service. Horchata colada though.
Laurel BJuly 9, 2014It's a tapas style place with food being overpriced and generally small. Be warned that if you take a seat on the patio and it does rain you will NOT be accommodated inside! Poor customer service :(
Doug ElliottAugust 2, 2015Honestly...just m'eh. Service was mediocre & the supposedly "Toronto's Best" Baja Tacos were far from the best fish tacos I've had here. Crowded yes, but IMO mostly due to location, not quality.
Adélaïde T.September 24, 2017Wonderful patio. I recommend frozen margarita with Coronna but not the mojito (it is tasteless). The food is okay but not the best. A bit expensive.
Caroline VermeeschSeptember 29, 2014Small portions, dont come here with an empty stomach. I had the combo lunch which was very good.
