I have loved David's food (the owner) ever since he was running Chimichanga up at Yonge and Eglinton (before he left and it went downhill..it actually catered my baby shower, we were its first catering job). So when he opened up Playa Cabana/Playa Cabana Cantina, we had to investigate.
The food is absolutely amazing. First of all, the tortilla chips are the stuff dreams are made of. Try to stop eating them. I ate 2 baskets the last time we were there..holy crap I had to spend a lot of time working out to burn those babies off. The chips are thick - like the ones you get in Mexico - and house-made. Guacamole is great too - could use some cilantro but hey, I'm splitting hairs here.
I had the shrimp bucket - mistakenly thought it was peel and eat shrimp but it was large shrimp fried in garlic. YUUUM. Tacos - short rib, fish, whatever - all so tasty and so well done. Really authentic.
The ceviche is really tasty as well...everything I have tried on the menu has not disappointed.
Margaritas are yummy and not done with cheap disgusting mix.
Service has never been rude to me...and I hate hipsters so I would be the first to criticize them.
Tres leches cake is heavenly...churros are greasy (duh, they're fried).
Highly recommend.
