    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.

    Aztec God's platter
    Philip C.

    I loved the ambiance and decor of the place, it feels more authentically Mexican than most Mexican restaurants in the city. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

So the bear itself in the affogato was a solid icy chunk of milk (coz we chose the milk flavour) that just frozen. We added the affogato on top of it and while it looked aesthetic, the dessert didn't make sense at all. We were unable to break the frozen chunk or be able to mix it with the coffee and the coffee mixed with that frozen chunk submerged tasted really bad. Paying $16 for that wasn't worth it at all. The bingsu was good though. We got the mango bingsu bowl and it came loaded with mangoes and a marshmallow and an oreo cookie to make it look pretty! I don't think I'd come back to try anything else here. Was a little disappointed.

Delicious desserts, waffles ice cream, smoothies, and more. We ordered: Medium Mango Smoothie - $7.95 Simple Pleasures Waffle - $15.50 The waffle was light and fluffy and the toppings of fruit and chocolate were a great combination. I requested to be lighter on the chocolate but there was still a LOT of chocolate on our waffle. The mango smoothie was refreshing and sweet. I started going to Holy Choco when they first opened and their service was really good from some of the owner. Super attentive and caring staff. Unfortunately, it's since gone downhill since they've hired new staff and we had a number of small problems when visiting this time (dirty tables, dirty cutlery, requested if our food could be put in to go containers because they didn't want to do dishes, unfriendly, etc.) I hope they improve upon these staffing issues soon. Their seating area is good for friends and groups to loiter. Also, if you plan on bringing a laptop, they have MANY OUTLETS!!

For items: we chose strawberry, banana, halal marshmallow, waffle bites, brownie bites, and Oreo with a round of cappuccino's ($5.50 each). The interior is nicely decorated with a cute angel photo op in the back, and window bar seats and couches to choose from. Great spot for 2-4 people. The only criticism I could have was it took a while to get our order. So, it's not one of those places you can be dipping into expecting to be done in 20mins! We stayed for nearly 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

    I stopped by Kream after seeing all the hype on Instagram about the famous Korean "Dubai…read morechocolate." When I saw the price was $9.90 per chocolate, I was honestly a little surprised, bc it's sold under 7 per chocolate in Korea. But they were running a promotion until the 15th -- 5 for $30 -- which made it much more reasonable. I've never had the original version sold in Korea, so I can't compare it directly, but from what I've seen and heard, it seems pretty similar to what's trending there. Korean reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and people say it tastes just like the viral version. The texture is definitely chewy, just like the name suggests, and it's very sweet. Personally, it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's just my preference. That being said, I gave some as gifts and they absolutely loved it. So if you enjoy rich, sweet desserts -- or you're looking for something trendy and fun to share -- this would be a great choice. The shop itself is small and cozy, but very welcoming. The staff were friendly and made the experience pleasant. Overall, even though it's not exactly my personal favorite flavor-wise, I can understand the hype. It's a fun treat to try at least once, especially if you've been curious about the viral Korean Dubai chocolate trend. I'd recommend stopping by and taking advantage of the promo while it lasts!

The cube cakes are rich without being overly sweet, and you can tell care went into both texture and balance. They're also filled generously with so much cream! Prices are fair for the quality, especially given how unique some of the flavors are. Great spot if you're craving something a bit more refined than your typical bakery dessert.
