Tapas at Embrujo was my final Summerlicious stop for this year, and I decided to try Spanish tapas food, since it's something I don't get to try that often living in Markham. Reservations were full before 8:30pm, therefore I was only able to book for 8:30pm. I was actually glad I did, as there was a Flamenco show at around 9:15pm, which was one of the best local band shows I've seen.
As for the food, I had the gazpacho, cordero castellano, and the delicias de queso de cabra. Many of the dishes I ordered, at first, seemed quite ordinary, but it's the garlic-y/wine reduction feel that really made each of the dishes stand out. The lamb chops (cordero castellano), in particular, had some sea salt added to the outside of the meat, which created an excellent effect when you bite it.
I also ordered some extra tapas, including the vieras con salsa de azafran and the champiƱones al ajillo. The sauteed mushrooms were simply an excellent dish with the olive oil added, and the saffron sauce in the scallops tasted like mango sauce, which was quite unique.
For $35 not including the two tapas, this was definitely worth the food and the show. Technically the minimum cost is $30 if a show is happening, so in effect I paid even less!
