| - I have probably been to this restaurant about 5 times now, so that just goes to show how much I love it here.
If you want some awesome tacos,you need to make your way to Playa Cabana. It's about a 10minute walk from Dupont station, so it's pretty convenient to get to.
Quick take:
- $$
- amazing guac & chips
- delicious tacos
- good portions
- good vibe for a date night
- clearly I will be back here
What I like about this place is that even though they are of the more trendy Mexican restaurant style, their portion sizes are still reasonable. My biggest qualm with a lot of places in the city that serve tacos is that the tacos are too small and too expensive for what you get. Here is not the case. I've ordered their lobster taco on more than one occasion and every time it's a solid 10. They actually give you real and sizable pieces of lobster. Not like other restaurants where when you order seafood anything, they give you like two minuscule pieces which you would need a magnifying glass to see. If you like lobster, get these tacos. They're amazing
Their quac and chips is also a good size appetizer. The guac is fresh and the chips are homemade and perfectly crunchy. The guac comes in a mortar and you can get different levels of spiciness. They also have additional hot sauces you can add at your table which are pretty freakin' hot and I do have a decent spice tolerance. When I come with a friend, we usually get the guac & chips to start and tacos (which come in a set of 3) and by the end of it we're pretty sufficiently stuffed.
I had their sangria once and it was delicious! It's a little expensive by the pitcher but for a glass it is decent and definitely tasty.
Word to the wise, this place is pretty tiny. Tables are pretty close to one another so if you are really big on private dining, this is not the place for you! It also fills up on a weeknight. The times I've gone at night I made reservations and every time as I'm leaving there is a lineup of people. Definitely recommend making a reservation. It's worth it especially in the winter time.
The service here is hit or miss. Sometimes I come here and my water glass is always filled and I've been asked how everything was going, got some good suggestions. Other times, I'm pretty much left to my own devices to ask for things. To me the food is the most important thing depending on the price point and I'm more than willing to come back here (obviously) even if the service is sometimes lackluster. The lobster tacos are that good.
