    Guacamole is so delicious
    Tracy T.

    By far one of my ALL TIME favorite Mexican restaurants and coming from me, that says a lot since Toronto is my reference point! The tacos here are all delicious and generously heaped with filling but my favorite is definitely the machaca. The beef brisket is so tender and juicy, and perfectly paired with refreshing pico de gallo. The guacamole here is also amazing - so fresh and flavorful, you really shouldn't pass this one up. It's a must get! On a recent visit, I also tried the Castillo, which was an extremely tender and fall-apart short ribs dish atop corn polenta. Needless to say, the ribs were AMAZING. I'm a Toronto-local but El Tres is a MUST visit for me every time I come up to Thunder Bay! I would say with 100% confidence that you should try this place out!

    We dined here last night from the high reviews on Yelp. It was a Saturday night and it was busy. It was about a 15 min wait for a table but we took seats at the bar and boy are we glad we did. Watching the bartenders or I think they should be called drink masters. Very entertaining and you could see they really cared about the drinks that they made. We had two appetizers - chorizo con queso, guacamole with home made chips. Then we shared a dish of the empenada. Everything was amazing. I really liked their variety of hot sauces. I just wish they were open on Sundays as we would be going back tonight.

    Gun Flint Tavern - Chips and I have no idea what it's supposed to be

    We were touring the North Shore before my son's wedding and stopped in to Gun Flint Tavern in Grand…read moreMarais.The experience overall was a really enjoyable one. Our entire party of 7 ordered the Tavern Burger with garlic aioli and a side of their homemade kettle chips, and it did not disappoint. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the garlic aioli added just the right kick without overpowering everything. Despite some medium wells,well done or still mooing ,the cooks got it right.The kettle chips were crisp, well-seasoned, and tasted fresh.It was definitely a step above your typical side.The waitress boasted about them not having fryers.It thought this was cool. They did lose a star for a filthy high chair and not having a table big enough for a party of 8. One of the highlights was the setting. From our table, we had a clear view of Lake Superior, which made the whole meal feel a little more special. It's hard to beat good food paired with that kind of scenery. The service here was great. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. It was a relaxed, satisfying meal in a beautiful spot. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Grand Marais.We all agreed this is one of the best burgers we have eaten in a while.

    This is THE place to go and hang out in Grand Marais. I think they call the top level the 'Raven's…read moreNest.' Music every night, a friendly staff, and great beer and cocktails.
