A small family run restaurant serving delicious food and great cocktails. We try to have something different every time, but so far nothing has been disappointing. Despite being an hour away, we keep coming back.

Very mixed feelings.On one hand, the food quality was very good and the dishes were beautifully served.On the other hand, the price to portion size ratio was not into the restaurant’s favour. We’ve had experiences that provided more for the same price tag.Another thing was the service itself. It’s not that it was bad, but we just did not feel welcome. Nobody was smiling, the atmosphere was tense somehow.That being said, the octopus and the grasshoppers tacos (the main reason why we chose the restaurant for the night) were delicious.

I would like to say that this is my favourite Mexican restaurant in Toronto.The food was absolutely outstanding; very unique, vibrant, flavourful and generous portions. My husband and I ordered some house specials and drinks. We were delightedly full at the end.Restaurant owners and staff were all professional and friendly. They absolutely love dogs! We brought our dog to the patio; one of the staff instantly welcomed our dog with a bowl of cold water.At the end of the meal, we were already planning to return to this restaurant to try other dishes.Thanks Xola! It was a great dinner.

I only have all praises for the food, presentation, and setting.I have gotten to try the Grasshopper Taco ($14), and they are such a treat. They are not as exotic as it looks to be. It came out crunchy, savoury, and a little bit of sour due to the complementary lime that comes with it. Another dish I have gotten to try was the Pollo en Pipian ($25.50). It was equally delectable, and good for around 6 or 7 individual portions. The order comes with about that much pieces of soft corn tortillas.The place's decor was properly decked out to properly match the Mexican theming of the restaurant. The lady who hosted us also offered very amiable service. She constantly was checking up on us and was friendly to chat a bit and share some interesting trivias about the food and overall culture of the whole dining experience.What fell short was that the location was small and they can only seat very few people at a time. They also do not have a waitlist sign sheet nor do they get your phone number and offer to call once a table is ready. Me and my companion had to wait outside in the cold for about 20 minutes before we were seated. We spent the time walking around and exploring The Beaches neighborhood.Another thing is that the food pricing is on the high-end side. It is good that the food taste, and presentation is equally up to par to match the price tag. I do understand the economics of it all, but it would have been perfect if it was just a little less expensive.

We love this place so much. The food is fresh, vibrant and flavourful. We ordered the guacamole that was a classic. The coconut milk ceviche and Sopa Azteca (traditional Mexican soup) were standouts. The Mole and Beef Adobo with soft tortillas were very rich and tasty. The drinks were impactful and made with fresh ingredients including fresh strawberries. We’ve been here twice and plan to return again!

Very cute place. Authentic and friendly staff. The owner herself made a point to welcome me and chat for a bit. The food was delicious. Will need to come back.

5 stars for food2 for customer service and the patio setupA bit pricey for what the place looks like, but the food is tasty. Nice presentation.I ordered a few dishes and drinks. I found the ceviche, which was the owner’s recommendation, their own twist, too lemony.One dish had hair in it. I called up the owner, she was serving my table, to show it to her, and her response was: are you sure it’s not yours? I then explained to her that I was wearing a hat, so no way it was mine, secondly it’s so embedded in the layers of the dish, no way I could put it in there. I truly enjoyed the food, but that attitude left a soar taste. No apologies offered. No attempt to make it right.

Most authentic Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in the city. Hands down. Must try near the beaches. Owner was very welcoming and was able to accommodate a walk in party even though they’re a smaller restaurant. This isn’t like any other Mexican restaurant. We got the veggie main, fish tacos, traditional and smoke salmon guacamole, and much more. Everything was worth getting it tasted so fresh and delicious!!!

We end up here by coincidence and we were greatly surprised. The restaurant has a Mexican vibe with Mexican music like Natalia Lafourcade, Ximena Sariñana, or Zoe, so different from others Mexican restaurants in Toronto. We ordered tacos but they were plated beautifully and they give the tortillas apart on a tortillero. They serve enough tortillas so you don’t even have to ask for more and they taste really good. We ordered duck confit and barbacoa tacos they looked and were delicious. The only but is that you may need appetizers otherwise just the main could not be enough.

Fantastic and authentic mexican fare. Our group of four could not have been more impressed with the friendliness of staff, attentiveness to our experience and overall quality of the dishes. Highly recommend the cheese-plate appetizer, and not a bad choice among the entree options. Do yourself a favour and try this wonderful restaurant
