This place didn't really do it for me. I really like a good margarita, but I currently cannot…read moredrink. I was so disappointed to see that they didn't have a margarita mocktail. I tried the peach dream mocktail, and it was really gross. The peach dream tasted more like orange juice and salt, and it was obnoxiously big compared to any of the regular cocktails that were at my table. I ordered the Don Julio bowl and it was disappointing. The rest of my party had margaritas and tacos, and they were happy with their meal. The service was okay. It's a very pretty restaurant, with plenty of outdoor seating.

We came here on a date night and thank goodness we thought of reservations! As it came out to be,…read moreDon Julio's was hosting a Dia de los Muertos celebration. It was extremely busy but despite this everything was kept clean, the servers were fantastic, and the food was muy delicioso. Honestly best tacos I have had maybe ever? Mucho recommend! Bonus points: wheelchair accessible bathrooms AND gender neutral bathrooms on top of separate male and female bathrooms.

Bomb ass cocktails, great service, and solid food offerings. I really enjoy this place. They play…read morereally great music. Songs: Ohia was playing the first time I rolled in. The ambiance is nice too, very Texas in a non-cheesy way. Cocktails are cleverly divided into flavor profiles, making it easy to choose something to tickle your particular fancy. I've tried a few, and they've all been well constructed, balanced, and nicely presented. Food is decadent AF. There's a $20 smash burger I've gotta try. Sadly, I was a little full from lunch so I did the Caesar with fried chicken. Not exactly light, but the flavor was great. Looks like a fun place to kick it with friends too. Ace.

I ordered takeout tonight from The Guanaquita. I found them through online searching and their…read morephotos and menu looked amazing! Since I had never been before I wanted to get the combination plate. I opted for a pupusa, 2 tacos, and an enchilada. For each, I just asked for whichever filling/meat was most popular and what the restaurant would recommend which was the pork. The tacos have two options for topping and I went for #1 which was lettuce, pico de gallo, cilantro, sour cream, and avocado (a thin guacamole rather than pieces). The tacos were good. They looked even better. They came with 2 tortillas each so it was sturdy enough to hold the fillings. The pupusa was nice but not my favourite. I ended up dipping it in the hot salsa and it was nicer. My absolute favourite was the enchilada. It was not what you would expect of a Mexican enchilada, but is instead a Salvadoran enchilada which is very similar to a tostada. That was great! Overall, the food was good. I'd love to return to dine in person because I think it would be amazing in person. Usually takeout is never the same. Hopefully once the lockdown ends I can return and have an even better experience!

It was loaded, filling and the right amount of cheese for $18.50 CAD. They only sell Birrias Friday - Sunday. Inside the ambiance you can tell is a local feel. It looks like all their artwork is from local Kitchener residences. They have a downstairs and upstairs seating. The service was great, they even DMd my account, told me thank you and said the next time I come back to give them a shout!

Finally, delicious Mexican food in KW! My wife had the chimichanga and she described it as the…read moremost delicious chimichanga she ever had. The shell was nice and crisp and the filling was delicious. I ordered the double meat enchiladas. They were filled with carnitas and steak was on the top. The steak was super flavourful and everything was great. The rice was quite soft and tasty. An employee(owner?) asked us partway through the meal if we liked hot sauce (We do!) and a little bowl of home made morita pepper sauce on our table. It was a delicious, smokey/sweet sauce with quite a bit of heat that we used sparingly. If I could buy a jar to bring home I would! The only downside is that things moved slow. Yelp says that they should be opened at 11 but they were closed at 11:55 (we came back just after noon and they were opened). The service was friendly but slow and it took awhile to get our food. It's worth the wait but be sure to allow for extra time if you're trying to have a quick lunch meal. Note: The slow service was from a one time visit, I don't know if that's the norm or if it was just that particular day.

We started off with the Choriqueso which was just okay, would not get again but not terrible. For our mains we got the Enchiladas Rojas (Medium) and Chimichanga. The enchiladas are a must order and a good filling portion. The chimichangas were also good and the rice was flavourful. The price overall was not bad but $3.99 for a can of Diet Coke is a bit much. Overall, I would visit again.

Aah my favourite Girl in St Jacobs! This girl knows how to…read moreplease your tastebuds. She prepares offbeat Mexican food with local ingredients. Whenever I visit St Jacobs, this food stall is a must stop shop for me and my hubby. Being vegetarian I love the food options available and how she customizes them for me! So whether its Tamales ( my favourite: spicy black bean and corn) or soups, or tacos - it becomes hard to chose just one of them lol. I generally grab daily spl to eat there and take out frozen tamales, which becomes my lunch speak during busy office hours! My husband can't get over the chicken tamales. My 14 Months old loves the rice and beans which comes in the tamale platter, so Whenever I visit st jacobs I dint pack food for her! Hahah saves me time and effort! Well, what to say.
