Chorizo taquito

Mediocre. Drinks are cheap but food is just okay. Service is friendly and vibes are pretty good. Pulled pork sand-which is good could use some sauce . Nachos are yummy

Taco tuesday $2
Dian J.

Went for Taco Tuesday, which is where you get 4 "tacos" for $2 with the purchase of a drink. Their "tacos" belong in quotation marks because they are the dumbed-down hard-shell American version, which is a truly pitiful approximation of the actually delightful Mexican dish. Service was acceptable, could definitely be improved. They don't accept health card as ID, which makes absolutely no sense. Still, I can't complain when the meal was literally a toonie (plus the cost of a drink, which could be between $3-8).

Recently discovered breakfast at Ethels. The breakfast burrito was delicious and fresh. Homefries we tasty and well seasoned! Yum

I love this place. You know the saying there's no place like home? Well thats how I feel at Ethels. No matter where we go out to eat I always wish I was at Ethels, so much so that we have basically stopped going anywhere else. I recently discovered that Ethels breakfast is just as delicious as everything else there. My husband and I have some favourites. We enjoy going for both their Monday night special: burger monday as well as Taco Tuesday! On top of that we enjoy their Antojidoes, pulled pork nachos and club house. Everything is homemade and delicious! We can't get enough. The staff is great, and treat their regulars well. .

Gunpowder Chili
Kira V.

Went for brunch on a frigid Saturday, and their Gunpowder Chili warmed me right up! It's delicious -- a hearty mix of ground beef, tomatoes, beans; and I love the red onions, jalapeños, and cheese that they give you one the side. Also comes with tortilla chips or Texas toast. The place itself was decently busy, especially the bar, and had a very casual atmosphere. Service was friendly and prompt.

Ethel's patio

I'd skip it. I mean, it's okay and they are said to have the best antojitos in the city but the place is too dirty for me and no matter how often I have stopped in, I've always preferred the other bars along King St. to this one. They have a big dark patio in their parking lot, and the inside is small and grungy at best. I feel like a bit of a jerk giving this place a bad review after all these great ones but for me, this bar just isn't my thing.

This is all that matters really, but Taco Tuesdays is a bonus.

This is my favourite bar in the universe. True uptown realness. Great food, atmosphere and people.

$4 on Monday. The patty is a lot bigger than I expected.

See all

A good lounge for lunch but it's pretty run-down. Not sure what all the fuss is about!
