    Great place to eat! I enjoyed the guacamole the most. To be honest, the tacos were a bit mid for me And so was the corn but the ambiance the music and the service definitely made the cut. I'll definitely go back to this place next summer

    Complementary nachos and salsa.

    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
    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.

    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.

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.

Overall, I really had a great experience at Playa Cabana, totally would come here again to try out their other dishes.

Would definitely recommend to try if you've never been before although I don't think I would come a second time. Pork secreto al pastor and the tres leches cake were standouts for sure.

We got the chips and guac to start. I do wish they gave a little bit more walk because it came in this really small cup so we had to go light on the guac to chip ratio. But overall the guac was yummy and the chips were very crunchy with a nice seasoning. They have a special every day of the week and Thursdays are there crunch tacos, which are hard shell tacos, wrapped in a soft shell taco with some sauce in between, and you can choose between their chorizo or chicken. We got one of each. I liked the chicken more but my partner liked the Chorizo. And all the toppings the perfect Fixin's. They only had three washroom stalls, which were gender neutral, and I thought they were relatively clean.
