| - 3.5 stars!
Decor/Ambience: One of the best hipster decorated restaurants that I have ever been too. From the outside, it looks like a hip bar, but when you go in, the dining area expands all the way to the back. There was a large shelf area with lots of cool little things. The music was mainly hip hop, which I liked. 5/5
Service: The service was amazing! We had a very knowledgeable server that was friendly and gave us the low down of everything before we even ask. She told us that each dish is larger than the last on the menu (i.e. items at the bottom are the largest), how many dishes to order for our party size (3 dishes for 2 people), and the most popular dishes on the menu. Some of our dishes took longer to come, but we had a very apologetic server that acknowledged this, which I thought was good. 5/5
Food: The food is designed to be shared like tapas. My friend and I had:
1. Guacamole and Chips $9: The guacamole was kind of bland and tasteless. The chips were crispy and hot when served. 2/5
2. Grilled Calamari $14: This was very good. Very flavourful and soft. It melted in my mouth. The only issue for me was this was a very spicy dish (I am a complete weak sauce when it comes to spicy food) so I only had a couple of bites. It would be good if they noted on the menu that this dish is spicy. 4/5
3. Eel bread appetizer $10- a feature not on the menu: The eel was mixed in mayo with some veggie like thing (maybe carrot) and was placed on small pieces of bread. I couldn't really see what it was because of the dim lighting. This was very salty and not worth it because I couldn't really taste the eel. It was overpowered by the mayo and veggie. I definitely would not order this again. 1/5
4. Bulgogi Shrimp El Diablo Crispy Tacos $21: This was by far my favourite dish, but it was pretty pricey. I don't think the price was worth it, but it tasted amazing. The shrimp was mixed in this amazing red sesame salsa sauce with cheese and it tasted fabulous on the crispy taco (a bigger version of the chips with the guacamole) This is a very oily dish and a bit messy to eat, but was totally worth it because it was delicious! 5/5
5. Churros $9: The churros were a bit hard, but it was in a lovely marshmallow chocolate sauce. I have had better churros elsewhere. 3/5
I ordered a Mexican coke, which was awesome. If you don't know what a Mexican coke is, it's coke made with sugar cane instead of corn syrup so it's "healthier". My friend had a Dead Man's Daiquiri and said it was really good and strong!
Cappuccino $4: Save your money. I didn't like my cappuccino at all. It was really bitter and wasn't hot.
Overall, I would give the food a 3.5/5. I noticed that they do change their menu from time to time so I would definitely go back to try other things. For the two of us, we spent about $110 including tax and tip. This is pretty pricey! However, we did order the most expensive thing on the menu (the shrimp tacos). You can technically spend about $50 here for 2 people and be full if you don't get the most expensive thing on the menu and the extra stuff that we got (coffee/tea/drinks etc). We definitely left stuffed and I had even had take aways.
