The pork was surprisingly tasty and juicy, but too much non edible fat :(
Andrei A.

We ordered two $15 specials + $5 bottle of beer + $5 bowl of beans. I ordered "steak" with rice and salad, which was nothing like a proper steak. It was a super-thin piece of meat measuring about 5mm thick, which got cold right away and was difficult to chew. It was by far one of the worst "steaks" I've ever tried. My wife ordered pork, which was juicy and tasty. However, there was too much non-edible fat, which was a complete waste of money. Modelo bottle of beer was $5. A bowl of beans was $5. To be honest, rice and beans were the best part of my experience at this restaurant. The sauce that comes with beans was so tasty that I couldn't get enough of the beans+rice combination. Unfortunately, though, my overall experience was negative. Plus, that annoying music blasting from the speakers in the middle of the day was too much. I won't be back there. Once was enough.

Nova Era Bakery O Cantinho Bakery Vannis Ristorante Ellington's Music Cafe Mi Tierra Restaurant Banh Cuon Thanh Truc El- Tipico Ecuatoriano R El-Tipico Ecuatoriano is the Sixth Stop for Our November Food Crawl. After a little time out, we ready for a snack! Ecuador, a country I never visit as yet and I left the ordering with my Yelp Friend. A little confusion of what we ordered and who we ordered made us waited for food that never arrived? The Cheese Empanada has this ooey gooey texture, while the Beef Empanada has a really moist filling. The baked shell was flaky and soft at the same time. I really enjoyed both of them! Ceviche with various Seafood ($12) - I almost mistaken this bowl of soup seafood as the Seafood Soup that we ordered - The "broth" the fully cooked shrimps, squid and fish were marinated in has really light citrus taste. I found the seafood really rubbery. My Yelp Friend though quietly ate the whole order with a heavy dose of hot sauce - Toasted corn kernels was offered to us as a side dish to go with the Ceviche which I secretly wish I can wash them down with a beer! Seafood Soup ($12) which availabe only during the weekend never came...and when we followed up on our order, it was sold out! What I would remember the most for my meal at El-Tipico definitely is NOT the food... This would be the night that I watched a UFC fight which last around 5 min from the pre show till the end...... That's definitely a change from CP 24! KNOCKOUT!! I think I am ready for dessert!! NEXT!

Seco de Chivo

Four stars just because of the pricing... I'm an Asian grown at Ecuador, and i can say that this place is very close to what i used to eat down there... Definitely here is a most visit place. I had brought some friends here and all of them love it.. But because of the price, once after a while is fine... On the other hand, i don't think it will be possible to find a cheaper Ecuadorian Food in Toronto lol Must try: - Encebollado (Call before heading to the restaurant, is the first thing that will be sold) - Ceviches - Seco de Pollo / Carne / Chivo - Fritada If you come with a bunch of friends you should try everything at once :D

It is a Russian roulette to buy in that place. Sometimes the dish is good, other days the same dish is disgusting

They get 2.5 stars…read more Bandeja paisa: steak was decent, crackling was so-so (pretty crispy but not that moist or flavourful). Sausage tasted decent but slightly dry. Egg was a bit overdone & arepa was decent though somewhat crispy  Beans were decent. Plantain was so-so (not crispy or sweet). Pork tenderloin was pretty tasty but tough & dry especially for a tenderloin. Rice was decent, with a slight flavour, but a bit mushy. Plantain was crispy. The restaurant interior was decorated quite nicely but was very warm (in summer) & service was disorganised & some servers didn't speak English well so communication was sometimes difficult. I asked if the pork tenderloin had a sauce; they said no but it came with a tomato & peppers sauce. They also billed me wrongly.

Incredibly delicious food, authentically Colombian, big portions, and amazing value for money. The…read moreseafood dishes are filled with various different kinds of high-quality seafood to the brim (more protein than rice). All the staff are so friendly - from the waitstaff to the chefs / owners and kitchen staff, everyone in the restaurant seems to exhibit the Latin American hospitality and friendliness. The place feels homey, cozy, and festive with the music in the background (from the TV screen on the wall), and big photos depicting different places in Colombia along the wall. Ambience is very laid-back and casual, with amazing food that tastes homemade and authentic. It took a while for the food to cook and come out (about 40 minutes) - mostly because of the Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup) that took the longest to cook. It was also during a very busy time on a weekend. They seemed to have a constant flow of incoming catering and take-out orders (a good sign), and the restaurant itself was packed. All / most mains come with coconut rice, salad, and tostones (fried plantains). As for drinks, you can order freshly squeezed juices in either water or milk. We ordered the fresh strawberry & blackberry juice in water, as the one in milk would make it more like a smoothie. Each juice order comes in a jug (whether it be a small or large jug). This came as a surprise to us - really good value for such a large volume of juice ($6 for a whole "small" jug that turned out to be quite big, enough to refill each glass a few times for 2 people). The juice itself tasted fresh, natural, and refreshing. Dishes that we tried: 1) Filete de Tilapia con Camarones (grilled tilapia fish fillet & shrimps with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Big pieces of fish and lots of small shrimps, in a very delectable sauce. 2) Arroz Marinero (seafood rice with plantain & salad) - Loved this dish. The rice was a bit soupy which I liked. It was a bit like a soupy paella (including the rice) - very delicious and packed with various kinds of seafood. 3) Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Very creamy soup, like a chowder. I'm not a big fan of chowders / cream-based soups in general, but others liked it and said this was good. 4) SIDE: Ensalada (House Salad) 5) Arepa de Chocolo con Queso (sweet corn dough with cheese) All of the main dishes were EXCELLENT - loved the mixed seafood (fish fillet, shrimps, octopus, squid, etc.). There was so much seafood in every dish. In most places, you get more carbs / rice compared to the protein. Here, it was the opposite. The coconut rice was a bit dry but it's decent - good to soak up the sauces of the main dishes. The salad is just shredded cabbage and carrot with big sliced tomato. I was a big fan of the salad dressing (some creamy mayo-like dressing), but luckily the dressing was only at the top of the salad (the bottom part of the salad remained fresh and crunchy, which I liked). We ordered the Arepa de Chocolo con Queso for to go. It was different than the Venezuelan arepa that I'm used to. The Colombian arepa seemed to be sweeter and more buttery. It probably would've been better if it was eaten right after it was freshly made, and while it was still warm. There was a lot of cheese in the arepa, giving it a nice salty and savoury contrast to the sweet corn dough. After you're done the meal, you go up to the counter to pay (instead of having the bill brought to your table). Great food overall - I would not hesitate to come back.

. After a very long wait, the newly opened TTC Line 5 was finally there. I just wanted to hop on…read morethe Line 5 train and see where it could take us. Rincón Paisa already had many positive reviews on major platforms. Plus, I had never had Colombian food . On the storefront, a worker happened to see me taking photos outside and kindly welcomed me to take more. My family and I went into the restaurant. There were many signs showing it is an authentic one: 1. The indoor decoration has a strong Latin American vibe -- wooden furniture, flowers, Latin music, etc. 2. Couldn't understand anything on the menu 3. All customers and workers spoke in Spanish We were there to have brunch. I don't recall exactly which dishes we ordered that day; however, we were super full! The portions of their meals are huge. All the things on the plate were tasty. There were many different ingredients on the plate: plantain, eggs, chorizo, fried pork belly, ground beef, avocado, rice, beans, etc. A very good deal. We might have seemed too unfamiliar with the food, because I didn't even know how to eat Empanadas. After I ordered an Empanada and let the servers in the restaurant watch me eat it awkwardly, a server who I guessed might be the owner treated us to two pastries -- one looked like a ball, and the other was flat bread. I looked them up by AI, and they should be Buñuelo and Almojábana, two cheese pastries from Colombia. I hope it's appropriate, but Buñuelo may be the most delicious cheese bread I've ever had -- it's tastier than the main dishes . I think it's a beautiful local business. If you're curious and haven't had Colombian food before, definitely give it a shot .

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!! Was walking around the block to kill some time before an appointment and…read moredecided to pop in because I've never had Colombian food before. I ended up grabbing some empanadas and holy shit these are tasty. They were so fresh and crispy, I got one chicken and potato empanada and one cheese. The chicken one was wrapped in a corn dough and the cheese one was flour I think but both were really, really good-- and cheap! $2.50 per any flavor. They have tamales here too, I'd like to come back to try them. The interior is also very clean and the decor is so cute. Guy with the tattoos and stretched ears at the front was also really nice. I wish I had more time to try a dish!! I saw other peoples' food and it looked so tasty. Great portions and beautiful dinnerware as well. Will definitely be back and highly recommend for a quick bite :)
