    Burro bravas
    Megha P.

    Loved the food! The two vegan tacos with broccoli and Brussels sprouts were delicious! The two vegetarian dishes were so flavourful as well! I would definitely recommend for someone vegan or vegetarian. Service and ambiance were good as well.

    They have a cute and cozy side patio that we chose to sit in. Their food menu is divided to "Tacos" and "Not Tacos". We ordered "Chorizo, Cotija & Pork Belly Nachos" for appetizer and Margaritas for drink. I enjoyed my drink a lot since I love Tequila. For entrée, we ordered "Fish Taco" and "Beef Cheek Taco". Fish taco was amazing and very delicious; I strongly recommend it. If I go there again, I will order 10 Fish Tacos with Margarita and nothing else! Lol!

    This is a cute little Mexican restaurant in downtown Burlington. There are a lot of public lots (paid) that you can park at nearby or you can chance the street as well. We were here for a super late lunch or early dinner depending on how you want to look at a 3pm meal. There were only a few tables here at the time so you shouldn't have a problem getting seated. We opted to sit on the patio which is located in an alleyway next to the restaurant. It is shaded and there's a low fence that separates you from the sidewalk so it's a nice little oasis there. A must order here is actually one of the desserts - the waffle churros are really good. They aren't deep fried like a churro would be but they're a great imitation and possibly a bit healthier too! We were there as a quad and ordered 2 which was the perfect portion size.

    Super good. Probably some of the best tacos in the GTA... that's all I have to say. Yeah.

    Fish Taco, Classic Taco, Achiote Taco
    Sindy D.

    We were able to call ahead and get some seats on the patio. It was a humid day and from where we were sitting there wasn't much airflow so it got slightly uncomfortable. The tacos here are good but none of the dishes we had were mind blowing. All the tacos seemed fresh. A good fish taco is usually our go to. I found that the batter wasn't as light and fluffy as other fish tacos I've had in the past, and because of this the density of the taco was on the heavier side. The slaw and radishes were a good compliment. The classic taco is probably something similar to something you could create at home. And the Achiote taco was okay. Nothing to write home about. The whitefish ceviche was good. There was a lot of citrus notes which I love, but I found the chips to be on the salty side. Based on our experience, I think If I were to return to Burlington I would like to try difference places and then maybe come back for another try once I've explored those.

    I am always looking for something different to try and sometime the locals love. Doesn't look like much walking by but i stopped in to give a try. I loved the vibe of the place, it was small but welcoming. They had the whole sugar skull and fiesta theme going on. I enjoy the authenticity vibe that Burro tacos had. The menu is small but done right, it gets straight to the point just tacos. Lol I ordered the Classic Taco, chipotle sweet potato taco and the cochinita pibil taco, each taco is priced individually which was great because I wanted to try different ones. I have to say the chipotle sweet potato taco was my favorite(surprising right?!)for me too- I mean really sweet potatoe in a taco definitely interesting. I am glad I tried it cause it was amazing. I loved there spin in the potatoe taco- it had. Shredded cabbage and chipotle sauce with some onions and the tortilla was perFectly cOoked everything was piled high. My second favorite waS the cochinita tacos it was packed with pork ,salsa pickled onions I believe but it was so delicious. The classic I wasn't feeeling to much tasted like a del taco. I have zero complaints if ur in town pop in. They have a drink menu too. If I am ever in town I would definitely go back. I think everyone should try this place forThemselves. They gained my business for sure. The place was clean and my server was great.

    Amazing place for date night! We enjoyed their Taste of Burlington special - app + 4 tacos + dessert for 2. We also got some drinks and an extra side of potato bravas which was delicious! The staff is extra attentive and super friendly which is always nice to see. Def check out this little gem in Burlington - come for the tacos, stay for the vibes

    A phenomenal little gem! Without a doubt, Burro Tacos has one of THE BEST tacos I have ever had. Upon a quick look at the menu, you will notice it is very simple with just a few items. They stay true to their name and stick to what they do best: tacos. There are no burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, tamales, etc. Just tacos. There are however shared plates that consists of guacamole & chips, nachos, etc. The fish taco was AMAZING, I wish I had ordered more of it! The sweet potato and bacon taco were great as well, but not better than the fish taco. Service was excellent and friendly. Burro Tacos is definitely a place I would visit again without hesitation.

    The Classic | Fish | Brussel Sprout
    Heidi J.

    These tacos were pretty good and filling. My favourite was the fish taco, I wish I had gotten two of that one. The Brussels sprout one was way too salty for me but I'm also not a huge fan of Brussel sprouts so that may have influenced my opinion on that one. I definitely recommend the fish if you decide to go!

    Achiote Chicken tacos
    Darin C.

    Excellent place for tacos and cocktails in Burlington. Small place with not a lot of seating. Today I had the holy frijoles, two achiote chicken tacos and a New York Sour cocktail (mezcal based) and everything was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here and highly recommend

    Chorizo, cotilla, pork belly nachos
    Soren S.

    Omg. Soooo excellent! Showed up randomly for a Boxing Day lunch and Soooo glad we did! Fresh ingredients and clever combinations. Traditional and new flavours. Excellent drink options. Even a patio for when it's nice out! The pork belly chorizo nachos are fantastic, and then all the tacos we had were delish. The beef cheeks had a mild sweetness to it that went well with the spices, and the fish taco was crunchy and refreshing. They are careful about allergies and even "cilantro aversion". Can't wait to come back with friends!

If it' happens to be full, there is a very large municipal parking lot less than a block away on Elizabeth Street. Paradiso is located in Village Square but faces the street the only place to the west of it that separates it from the Municipal Parking is the nice little boutique style LCBO on the corner of Elizabeth and Pine Streets. We have been going here for many years I'm going to say it's been 20 years or very close maybe more for the ever changing menu. The Chef changes it by the seasons so you are always in for a delicious surprise and selections. The only minus I'd say is their wine list by the bottle it is seriously overpriced. The least expensive bottle of Cab-is $55 ( $14.95 @ The LCBO). Although it hasn't kept us away. My husband ordered it regardless he enjoys a bottle of wine with his dinner. I don't drink so I'm a Perrier or similar gal. Our dinners were outstanding and well priced. They start you off with the most delicious yellow bread it reminded me of cornbread but no corn it's thick like cake cut in wide 1" strips and just as high. It's served with a balsamic vinaigrette for dipping. I could keep eating that . I must ask what type it is on our next visit My husband had the Seafood Pasta which Spaghettini Pescatore consisting of Spaghettini with a white wine cream sauce, shrimp (3 large) , calamari and Atlantic salmon. Not a lot of seafood however only $32 so I'm not complaining. I had the Pickled Beet Salad- basil whipped feta, mixed greens, pickled beets, spice toasted almond crumble with a balsamic vinaigrette $16 and I added a marinated chicken skewer $9 extra. Other choices were garlic shrimp, oven baked salmon ,, grilled sirloin and seared ahi tuna - all $9 to $16 (salmon). All very well priced . For dessert I had the Aftgiuto $9 - also delicious - a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream with a side of espresso to pour over it so yummy! My husband's was huge- Salted Pecan Caramel Tart $14 ( more like a pie than a tart,I had to take pictures. Topped with French Vanilla Ice Cream, warm caramel sauce. I tried it, absolutely amazing . We had a great table for two at the very back of the restaurant it was quiet and quaint. Also extremely close to the restrooms which is always handy. We highly recommend Paradiso for lunch or dinner but remember reservations are a must. Keep in mind that the kitchen closes at 9:00p.m.. They won't kick you out but reserve accordingly. We were there two weeks ago Saturday and were shocked that it was completely full right after Christmas in early January and in this economy but as I mentioned earlier it is really affordable. I was also shocked that we had 6:30 reservations and it was 9:00 when we were leaving after our lovely leisurely dinner. We will be back very soon. Below is my husband with his amazing salted caramel pecan tart topped with French vanilla ice cream and warm caramel sauce. The picture I took of it looking down on it you can see what I mean how it is more of a pie than a tart, it's huge. I had a bite of it and even just one bite is so satisfying and beyond delicious it convinces you it's worth every penny . I'd love to order it however it is far too large for me. I wish my husband would share but he loved it far too much to share. Who can blame him? When you go you must try it. We are really into salted caramel desserts but believe me when I say "this the very best salted caramel anything that we ever had, it dances on your tastebuds and I truly mean that". Don't think about it just make your reservations on YELP or call today. Remember Valentine's is just 4 weeks away if you want to take your Sweetheart there for Valentine's you had better make your reservations now.... If it's not too late already. You don't need to thank me just go and enjoy a wonderful affordable dinner. And if you haven't been there before I know that you will become a regular even after just one visit !

    We had come here at around 1:30 pm on a Friday afternoon. The place wasn't too busy at the time…read morehowever, there was a large party of about 15 people at the table behind us; it looked to be some sort of a work function. We were seated on the second level in a booth, which had the large window opened all of the way. There were three children and two adults in our party therefore, we were given both children and adult menus to order from. My son settled on the chicken fingers with fries, while my daughter chose the hamburger with fries. I decided on the avocado dip with nachos, although the dip wasn't really a dip, as it was chunkier than I had liked. The food took about 15 minutes to arrive, which wasn't too long however, the kids were a tad restless having to wait. Both of my children's dishes had a large amount of fries, with only a small amount of chicken strips and hamburger. My avocado dip had an overflow of nachos, yet not a lot of avocado. It also had too much onion, which made the dish taste strong. The service was good throughout our entire stay, with the server checking on us periodically to make sure that we were okay. The food was mediocre, and definitely not worth the price that we had paid. Overall, would most likely not return to this restaurant. To be honest, we only dined here as it was the closest to the movie theatre that we were at therefore, it wasn't our first choice initially.

They even asked the sous chef to make sure the presentation was excellent; he didn't disappoint. Their menu changes seasonally. I ordered the following: 1. Coke ($). 2. Tempura Shrimp ($27). 3. Crispy Duck Leg Confit & Breast ($46). 4. Saskatoon Berry Cheesecake ($14). The Tempura Shrimp were tiger shrimp and were so plump, each about 1 inch diameter at the widest end! They were de-shelled and tempura battered. There were orange slices (orange), avocado slices (green), and chili slices (red), making the dish colourful. The Crispy Duck came with a leg and sliced breast portions. Accompanying them were tamarillo, sunchoke puree, bordelaise, dried kale chips, berry gastrique, and chopped candied pecans. All the ingredients worked well together, with mixtures of savoury and sweet tastes. The Cheesecake was amazing. The cheesecake itself was an upside-down half sphere. It was soft; I prefer that over the typical firm cake. There were miniature dried berries on top, along with a ruby chocolate sauce, and a sliced of dried red beet. Surrounding it was a soft marshmallow meringue which was lightly torched. The colour theme was red and white with a touch of dark blue. Daimon, the sous chef, plated everything expertly for me. There is plenty of indoor seating, of which one side has a view of the lake. There is lively music playing in the background. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms. There is free street parking on weekends on a street running north of the restaurant. There is also a paid parking lot next to the restaurant.

    Returned to Spencer's at the Waterfront for brunch and was not disappointed…read more I enjoy visiting Spencer's on special occasions. At the recommendation of the service staff, I ordered the Crab Cake Egg Benedict (lemon aïoli, boston lettuce, chive hollandaise), served for weekend brunch only. Similar to my previous meals here, the food had subtle layers of flavour that came together nicely with every bite. I tend to gravitate to food that I can't get at other restaurants. The server informed us that the meal was not served on brioche like the other Egg Benedict's, but I was still full with the side salad (yeh, no arugula). My husband ordered the side fries so his belly was full. There were two crab cakes with eggs, and plenty of crab inside. I was glad that I didn't taste fillers. Service was good and we sat at a table with a waterfront view. The Sloane tea and beverages were a pricey and small for what they were, hence one of the reasons I don't come here as frequently. Overall, I enjoy the food here.
