    Patio
    Ceci L.

    This place went downhill since my last visit. The host was standing at the entrance but he was so awkward that we weren't sure if he worked there. His demeanor was standoffish but he led us to our table on the patio. I normally like their patio as it's spacious and decorated with flowers, but this time the experience wasn't great. Being in a bad area, there was a mentally ill man across the street who kept screaming out in pain. Also I watched the host awkwardly try to give free chips and salsa to everyone who walked by and he kept getting rejected so I said "I'll take a bag" and he replied "no cause you're already dining here." So I'm not as worthy because I'm a paying customer?! Got it, we won't be back. The food is not bad but the portions are small. We came for Taco Tuesday and each taco is $3.50. You need to order a lot of tacos to get full. We also ordered the enchiladas, which came with rice and beans. There's so many better Mexican restaurants in the area, I'd recommend going elsewhere.

    Food is decent, drinks are meh, service is terrible We went here for a friend's birthday so large group aka 18% mandatory gratuity, but service falls way short of them deserving such an amount. Party was nice to catch up with friends, but the servers really need to step up their game to deserve this type of gratuity. We got the tortilla soup for something light since we weren't too hungry, and they were able to accommodate since it was in the regular menu but not stated in the large group menu. The soup was hearty and delicious. It hits the spot. But $16 for the soup (they didn't even ask us the size, we would've gone a smaller size) is quite a rip off. Large group menu has dishes that were too filling and frankly overpriced. Dishes were $20-32+ and consistently pricier than other Mexican restaurants I've been here. We also got a bulldog margarita. This one was good but we also sampled our friends' margaritas and I could taste a powder texture - feels like their flavoring is powder form not actual fruit. Cutting corners for a higher than average priced cocktail. Service here is the definition of what deserves a 0% tip. We specifically wanted a tamarind bulldog margarita and they put the order through. We got a regular iced margarita instead. I flagged it and the server kept gaslighting me saying the regular was what she ordered and they never said they could make it tamarind to begin with, until after 5 min of back and forth the server admitted and remade the drink. There's no need to be stubborn and try to fake being right and refuse to do something that was originally communicated. Especially if they do 18% mandatory gratuity. Then they just slapped the drink on the table without saying anything - very rude Second, it took 20+ min to get the check. Most of the meal we barely saw the servers. When they do, they only focused on taking more food orders. Sure they would do that to squeeze more money. But at least do the requests in order. There are many options in the area so I wouldn't recommend this, since food was decent but overpriced while putting up with some of the worst service.

    We came for quick drinks because nothing beats drinks from Mexican restaurants ever. So great and staff here is so friendly with quick service. Restaurant itself is so tropical and cute and really a nice stop.

    I love this restaurant, I'm Mexican and it tastes very authentic, the staff is friendly and you can do meetings in the basement! Very good music and ambiance too, two thumbs up! ​​ The bathrooms are very clean too and I love the decoration

    Awesome place to eat, it's seriously delicious and I'm Mexican! I love the tortilla soup and the ceviche, great options! Juan Carlos was a great host and very nice person, the service was great and the place had great decoration!

    We had a blast! Threw our pals birthday at La Casita and everyone invited totally loved it. The food was delicious, well prepared and hot as it arrived fast courtesy of our lovely servers - great gals. Amazing drinks & lots of room downstairs to rage it up and be together a little louder than upstairs which was also great fun. Very clean bathrooms! And I must say we will all be back sooner than later! MUCHOS GRACIAS AMIGOS!

    Amazing taco! Especially the NY Steak tacos for taco Tuesday!

    We ordered NY Steak, Veggies and Chicken! Amazing NY steak tacos! Come on taco tuesday! Loved the horchata!

    a glass of water on a bar counter

    If you get seated at the bar, I hope you're not ignored like me and my partner was. Came to eat and have a couple drinks, we wanted to experience Mexican food in Canada. Upon sitting down, my water glass was filled only once at my request. To be sitting at a tiny bar where there's a bartender making drinks constantly Nd you're seated directly in front if him, you'd think your water glass would be filled constantly if emptied. Nope! The food was mediocre. The "large" chimichanga is what I ordered. I can't imagine what the regular sized chimichanga would've looked like. It was flavorful but I couldn't help to think that the ingredients were like a puree. The insides were so very soft. No chunks of chicken but almost if it was puree. Best description I could give. Service is very slow. Again, had to ask for refills, had to ask for the check. If the food had taken any longer to be prepared, I would've asked time estimation for that too.

    Good food with great service. Food came orderly and timely. Lovely ambiance and wonderful selection of food.

    Food was good and good service and the environment was also really nice. I would come again

Sat us down, took our orders and brought us our food then quickly brought the bill so they could change tables over. The Margarita here was excellent. Definitely felt like a strong boozey drink. Well done! Tried their Chilaquiles - not sure what I was expecting but this was more nachos than anything else. Definitely not the best in the city either. Maiz De Cole - strangely the best option that I selected. The chilli, lamb, cilantro just went so well. Great light option if you need one. Definitely not better than a good Mexican street corn though. Birria Taco - wanted to like this but didn't leave much to be desired. Large portions of protein Ordered the extra Birria as my date also wanted this. Looking back, should have stuck with the single order. It was way too much birria protein which after a few bites became overly dry and lacked flavour. Carnitas Tacos - come in a order of 2. Better option for smaller appetites. Overall, felt a bit steep in price. Their website online doesn't even post prices yet.

Our server was attentive and around when we needed something but never interrupting, and his recommendations ended up being some of our favourite dishes. The anchovy olives were a standout, super crispy, packed with flavour, and not overly fishy at all (great if you're a bit hesitant about anchovies). The mushroom toast was rich, savoury, and full of umami. Just a heads up not to let it sit too long since it softens the bread. The tuna tartare was fresh and well-balanced. Not my personal favourite served on toast, but still really enjoyable overall. The paella was excellent, perfectly cooked shrimp, tclams, and crispy pork belly chicharrón that added the best salty, fatty crunch. The roasted cabbage completely surprised me and was easily one of the best veggie dishes I've had in a while. I could have eaten a whole plate of it. We wrapped things up with churros and shared a pitcher of sangria. For three people, it came out to about $68 each before tip, which felt very fair for how much we ordered. Would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately we do not have a reason to return.
