    Complementary nachos and salsa.
    David N.

    We were in the area for lunch at a different restaurant, but when they turned out to be closed for the day, we began looking around for another option. Molkagtez immediately caught my eye because I'll never say no to tasty Mexican food. We arrived at lunchtime on a recent Saturday and were shown to a table on their impressive, spacious back patio. It's a really cool space and I could see it being very fun in the evening. For food, I opted for the Quesabritas & Consomé Birria ("3 folded quesadillas stuffed with pulled birria meat. Topped with onion and coriander, served with consomé dipping sauce"). First, though, we were served complementary nachos and salsa. This was a delicious way to start off the meal. The nachos tasted hot and fresh, while the salsa was zesty and just the right amount of spicy. The quesabritas showed up a short time later and they're also quite good. Aside from the fact that they showed up to the table warm rather than hot, I quite enjoyed this dish. They were cheesy and flavorful and enhanced considerably by being dipped into that aforementioned sauce. (One of them did have an inedible piece of cartilage in it, so that was unfortunate.) All in all, I really enjoyed my meal at Molkagtez. The service was top-notch, too.

    Came for dinner. It was easy to get a reservation and we were lucky and found street parking right out front! The vibes are great here. It was Monday which means $10 margaritas. The value is incredible. The margaritas come in huge glasses. I couldn't decide between mango chamoy and mango habanero so I asked for both and they were able to do it. It was delicious. I really recommend it. They brought a little bowl of chips and salsa to start which I loved. So few restaurants still offer that. We shared the guacamole which desperately needed salt but was otherwise very tasty. The chips are delicious. I ordered the quesabirria with consume and had a shrimp taco. The taco was good but the quesabirria fell apart really quickly and didn't have that crisp on the outside I was expecting. The costume was good. Service was good. It seems like a fun place to have a birthday since two tables were celebrating and were sung to and given a slice of cheesecake and a sombrero for pictures. I'd happily come back :)

    Absolutely a gem, the tacos were delicious. My friend even said this is the best baja fish tacos he ever had :) The pulled pork tacos were both flavourful and juicy. Everything on the menu was reasonably priced, around $15 a cocktail, which still sounds crazy but nowadays many places charge you a meal of a price for a drink. The only complaint I have was the chips of the guacamole which can be more fresh but it could also be just the batch.

    I didn't get why this place has so many great reviews. The place does have a good vibe (back patio) and the people are really nice & attentive but the food wasn't amazing. We had the molkajete cielo, Mary tierra which is a seafood and meat mix served in a traditional Mexican molcajetes. It came with soft corn tortillas (not a fan!) plus some corn pieces, cactus and jalapeño peppers. Salsa is layered on the bottom. It was really difficult to eat this with the tortillas as it was a very wet dish. Everything tasted okay but not great. Wish there is an option to get rice and refried beans instead of the corn tortillas. Oh for our app, we got the elote. The corn was overcooked (soft, not crisp) and it was bland with only mayo and feta cheese. For dessert, we got the flan Neopolitan. That was ok but at $8, it was a very small piece. I enjoyed the comp chips and salsa plus our Mexican colas.

    We came to this restaurant having seen it on blog TO. We made a reservation for 6pm but arrived a little earlier. We were seated at the front of this cozy restaurant / bar. Unfortunately, I do not drink but they have an extensive drinks menu. We ordered 3 items to share and they were all delicious. We got the Lava stone pot with meats. The bone Marrow and the tacos with the consomme dip. We have never had authentic Mexican food before and we would highly recommend this place. The meats are well seasoned and very juicy. Everything is very flavourful. My favourites were the sausage and beef. Service is good and we will definitely make the trip out here to enjoy the food again.

    Aztec God's platter

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the ambiance and decor of the place, it feels more authentically Mexican than most Mexican restaurants in the city.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was very quick and attentive. We loved the food and cocktails. The Aztec God's platter was delicious and my wife and I both loved the spice level of the enchiladas. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Chips and Aztec Dip Trio
    Kennedy M.

    3.5 stars - we tried this place for some authentic mexican and the food was really great. if you're feeling adventurous the dip trio with crickets was surprisingly delicious. i ordered the chicken enchiladas and the verde sauce was amazing. the drinks were also incredible!! we sat inside but i recommend reserving a table on the patio if you can. the inside is very warm and the music is loud so it's hard to hold a conversation. the service is just okay, it took us a while to place our order and had to hunt down a server for refills and our bill. if you're in the area it's a great neighborhood spot, but i don't know if i'd travel that far again.

    Came here with my friends and we had a really good time. The food & service were great. Just a heads up book online reservation before going.

    Jamaica margarita

    I had the mixed sopes and it was mediocre and lukewarm. Jamaica margarita was good, but weak. Staff very friendly, but food/drink not worth the price.

    The food was awful. I ordered the vegetarian enchiladas, and I've never had enchiladas served with…read moreraw zucchini and carrots. On top of that, the entire meal arrived cold. It got worse. When I went to the basement washroom, I swear I saw what looked like the end of a mouse's tail sticking out from under the door. Needless to say, I completely lost my appetite. When the waiter asked how everything was, I told him honestly that it was terrible. I had only taken two bites, and there was really no response. I wouldn't have wanted a replacement anyway after that experience. I also had some fruit bites, and about 10 minutes later my stomach started gurgling. By the time I got home, I felt awful. I was shivering, felt like I was going to throw up, and had to rush to the bathroom. It honestly felt like food poisoning. And I still paid for my meal Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place.

The place is a bit small so it can be a bit tight so I would highly recommend having reservations if you have a large group. Tacos: The soft and the crispy tacos were both delicious. The tinga chicken and the beef barbacoa were juicy and full of flavour. The portions was fair, the quality was a standout and tasted quite authentic. Overall, I really had a great experience at Playa Cabana, totally would come here again to try out their other dishes.

We opted for…read morethe tasting menu, and every course showcased incredible technique while allowing the ingredients to shine. The bluefin tuna was pristine, buttery, and incredibly fresh, while the char-grilled octopus was perfectly tender with a beautiful smoky depth of flavor. The ensalada verde was bright, crisp, and refreshing, offering a perfect contrast between courses. The standout for me was the hanger steak, cooked beautifully and paired with a rich peppercorn sauce that elevated every bite. Beyond the outstanding food, the service was impeccable--attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced without ever feeling intrusive. Quetzal is a Michelin star experience that lives up to the acclaim, delivering bold flavors, refined execution, and genuine hospitality. An unforgettable meal and a restaurant I would gladly return to.

We got lucky and they were able to squeeze us into seats at the bar area, which ended up being the best possible spot because we had a front-row view of the live fire cooking the entire night. The ambiance was lively and hip, with a great energy that made the whole experience feel exciting. This was my first time watching each main courses get cooked over live fire in real time, which added to our amazement given that all the dishes came out cooked to the right doneness. Every bite of meat and seafood was perfectly kissed with flame -- the char, the subtle smoke, the texture. Beyond the fire element, you can really taste how fresh everything is. Nothing felt heavy or muddled. Each dish was well thought out with balanced flavors, but the ingredients and that fire/smoke magic were always the main event. Service was also superb. All the staff were attentive and high-energy. Different servers checked up on us throughout the meal, our water was always kept full, and dishes were cleared in a timely manner. Only drawback: the heat. Sitting by the fire is incredible for the show, but it definitely started to feel like a sauna at times. Still, I'd do it again and choose to sit at the bar without hesitation. If you're in Toronto and you love a tasting menu, this is a must. Just make sure you book at least a month in advance - it's popular for a reason.
