In terms of food, I had Sopa De Marisco (Seafood Soup). The soup had good flavour with a nice tint of spice to it. It was also a decent size with a nice good variety of seafood/shellfish (haddock filet, mussels, shrimp, oysters, cuttlefish, octopus, tomatoes, pepper). Spices used include oregano, basil, cumin, salt. There were also greens and spice condiments on the side for extra flavour...Overall, I'd give my experience 8.5/10

Place was empty at 5PM and…read moreonly 20% full at 6PM on a Tuesday.  3 gender neutral bathrooms.  Waitress was nice BUT didn't tell us tacos were 20% off because it was Tuesday! Luckily we ordered tacos and I just happened to notice a discount on the bill and asked why we had it.  Water pitcher on the table was nice.  Tried the Ensalada Verde salad to start (share). Dressing was a little too sour for me and the greens were not crisp. 7/10.  I got the Fish tacos - 12/10 wow. Fish was SOOOO big and tasty. Slaw was meh but fish was wow wow.  Friend got the blackened chicken - 6/10, dry chicken, not a lot of great flavor or texture. We also got the Grilled Pina Colada dessert - 4/10. Pineapple had nice grill marks but was just warm, not caramelized like Pampas. Ice cream was good but just vanilla. Pineapple sauce was just thickened pineapple juice. Tiny sprinkle of granola on top. Overall very underwhelmed Especially for the price - WAY overpriced.  Recommending - only come for the fish taco and come on a Tuesday!!

A year later and we're still crushing on Mamenche's…read more Upping the review to 5 stars because it's the fastest El Salvadoran joint in town and they've always got something fresh and new! On our most recent visit, the specials of the day included jalapeño and cheese papusas (HELLS YES) and giant handmade coconut popsicles! You'll never find a more friendly owner and the food is always delish! PS - Try the carne asada here. Sooooo good!!!

Based on the positive reviews I had seen online, I was ultimately disappointed with my experience…read more The prices are relatively high for the portion sizes, and we waited over an hour to be seated, which would make me hesitant to visit on a weekend. The restaurant itself is quite small, which is not inherently an issue; however, on the evening we visited it was cold outside, and each time the door opened it noticeably affected the indoor temperature. Additionally, the décor felt somewhat rushed and unfinished, which detracted from the overall atmosphere. While the food was acceptable, it did not justify the wait or the overall experience.

Recommend? Wholeheartedly, YES!…read more What a cozy little place tucked away near the Yellowhead. If you plan to eat here for lunch, get there around opening at 11 because the place fills up fast. This little L-shaped eatery offers a huge menu filled with favourites like tortilla soup, a variety of tacos and enchiladas, along with desserts. The four of us ate with gusto and were pleased with everything we tried. In particular, the Tres Leches cake is outstanding, with a perfect texture, not too watery and not too sweet. Very like the cake I had eaten prior in a diner along the Texas-Mexico border. One of us was having a birthday, and he was presented with a complimentary piece while staff sang to him to a backdrop of canned birthday music. It was delightful. The staff was very pleasant.

You can't beat "taco Tuesday" at this taqueria. I watched the cocinera mixing up the dough by hand…read more Another cook grilling up the meats. There's only room for about 6 customers inside. There is 1 picnic table outside. The decor and music are traditional. Fun. Our table of 4 ordered suadero, chorizo and carne asada tacos. 4 per plate. $15.00 each on Tuesdays. $20.00 the rest of the week. They were not all served at the same time. We should have just shared each plate as it came out. We split a couple of Jaritas because there is no booze here. The staff are really sweet. :) The parking is pretty good. It's a fun outing for a sunny day.

This place is a cocktail bar masquerading as a Mexican/South American restaurant. It fails as both…read more Food was pretty underwhelming and massively overpriced. Boring AF is another way to put it. Drinks other than beer and 5oz wine start at $15, and are geared to the candy crowd. Totally turned off by repeated hard sell by the server, intrusive and annoying. Then she didn't remember who ordered what at our table of 4, did things like placing food on top of menus. Yet I should take your "recommendations" seriously? Take a hike! I chose not to eat, the upsell made me lose my appetite fast. Red flags are SO unappetizing. Others were not so lucky. Tacos (lamb/beef barbacoa) were boring and dry, served with pickled onions, jalapeños, cilantro, that's it. No salsas, not even cheap jarred stuff. Nastiest bs "churros" ever, check out the picture. Great comment made at the table, "is this cheese sauce? Maybe it's cinnamon? It's kinda watery..." Even my perpetually positive, sunny side friend commented that the food was overpriced and not very good. We not be back, total poser show. So embarrassed I even suggested this place to try during Downtown Dining Week. WTF

I came here for a surprise birthday that my husband had secretly planned for me. I thought we were…read moregoing for a dinner just us two. We were greeted by the friendly hostess and she took me to back of the restaurant where "surprise" 20 of my closest friends were there! It was amazing! The staff did an awesome job serving everyone, keeping the food & drinks flowing and keeping all the orders straight! The food was delicious, I had the tacos and tried 3 different kinds, all were good. The tuna appetizer was so delicious! The cocktails are high quality and creative but in a tasty way! This restaurant went above and beyond my expectations for an experience of this kind. They even let my friends go in early before the surprise to decorate. They were all in on it. We got to bring a cake in and cut it there as well which was so nice because the cake my husband got was such a luxurious piece of art! I enjoyed eating it. I highly recommend this place and will absolutely be back for another night out of delicious food and quality cocktails. Great location right across from the arena but good idea to make reservations. Enjoy!

We were there for Feed the Soul week, so I am not sure if the portions were small because of…read morefeatures being cheaper then the menu or not but it looses a couple of stars because the arepas were tiny...and I mean tiny. The deal was for 10 bucks you got an arepa but the thing was less then a hockey puck in size. We chose two - the pulled pork, and the beef. The pulled pork definately packed more flavour. And it was just meat with the bun...no veggies or cheese. I really think if they were less cheap adding those things would have made it more satisfying. I also ordered the yucca fries which were excellent. They were perfectly cooked and plump and because they weren't on the special menu they were plentiful. They came with a mojito dip which was zippy and tasty. Service was nothing great. They barely came to service us and see how we are doing/ It is cute inside , but not comfortable for sitting. Although there were a lot of interesting things on the menu I doubt that my husband and I will be back. Based on the service and the skimpy portions it isn't really worth giving a second chance.

Classic Arepa (sandwich) is a gigantic creation! I get two meals from one... and the leftovers are divine! I order with the green sauce... just slather me with that delicious creation! Yuca fries (cassava) are a special treat with delicious dipping sauce(s)! Love Love Love the food!! Drinks! Beers, mixed drinks, tequilas and local product from RigHand on the shelf and house-made fruit selections. The Papelón con limón (cane sugar lemonade!) is refreshing in summer! Watch out for construction... it is worth it! Park west, just past 108 street on the north side of Whyte and pay by ePark. Cheap to park a few minutes... I've paid between free and $0.40 for take out! Beat that! There are plug-ins with USB ports for you to charge while you are dining. Seats about 30 inside. Busy time is evenings - come for lunch! Service is friendly, and we definitely rate this as one of our favourite places in Edmonton! Also available from skip and Uber eats, but I like to make sure a good local business gets all of the money...plus, it's hot and fresh when it hits my hand!

Worthy of 6 stars! If you get a chance to eat at this rural location food truck, consider yourself…read morelucky! I'd hunt it down just to eat here again, even if means driving out to Thorsby. The owner/operator runs this truck not only to make some extra money during the summer festival/farmers market circuit, but also because she loves to cook and has a passion for food. We loved everything we tried. If I held a big outdoor gathering, I would go out of my way to invite this food truck. Fresh, delicious, creative... a breath of fresh air for tastebuds tired of overpriced sandwiches and tacos. You gotta eat here!! Eat all the fritters!

Hot Mess is another food truck in Leduc. I went and checked them out for lunch the other day…read more The food here is pretty diverse, and despite the name not all of it is hot. They have breakfast and lunch menu. The red velvet pancakes with bourbon cream sauce sounded pretty delicious, but I went ahead and ordered lunch. I got the spicy shrimp noodle salad, which was delicious. Noodles, fresh veggies, mango slices, with shrimp and a light spicy vinaigrette. For $8 it was a filling and delicious lunch. My parents ended up going to Hot Mess that same day, and my dad said he liked the chorizo burger (although he said it wasn't very spicy), and my mom had the pulled pork sandwich, which she said you could really taste that it had been smoked (not just bbq sauce). The food here is a bit of a mess, even my noodle salad was messy. The food is pretty varied, but what I had was good and I wouldn't hesitate to try something else from Hot Mess again.
