  • 5 stars (maybe even 6) on the effort that they have put into decor - the owners brought in a Mexican street artist (Oscar Flores) to work on the restaurant for several weeks and it's really something. Dia de Muertos (Day of the dead) all the way - you have trippy skulls on the wall, vibrant hand painted murals, a central fire pit on the patio, bright mexican textile details where you sit and magical hanging lanterns as you walk through to the patio. Attention-grabbing. Aesthetically speaking it is a good summer spot to dazzle a tourist or date. 4 stars on the food quality - The owners have brought in a chef from Mexico City (Olivier Le Calvez) and the taste and freshness is high standard. When you look at the (huge) menu, you will feel like trying everything. We sampled many dishes (cubetas w drunken salsa, octopus tacos, tuna tostada, guac etc.) and got a pitcher of watermelon margarita (loved it). 2.5 stars on value - A highlight of our meal was the ceviche trio, but of course there was about enough food to fill a tooth. One of our tuna ceviches was mixed in with a lot of watermelon, which yes was intentional and yes, paired nicely with the tuna but it also conveniently reduced the amount of fish in the dish. Sure the cost of fresh seafood in Toronto can be high but I don't know- this just wasn't a good dish to splIt with more than 2 people. Same deal with the tuna tostados we sampled. The lowlight was the burrito.This was the opposite of my big fat burrito. More like my little anorexic burrito (and it was also the least interesting tasting thing that we sampled). Again, I understand that this is tapas-style and is more upscale than your typical neighbourhood Mexican restaurant, but it was disappointing. Bottom line: I believe that the idea of a burrito and the tapas aesthetic cannot be reconciled. Other notes: -pretty good service -it may seem obvious, but I'm going to say it anyways: don't come super hungry unless you have a small appetite or don't mind dropping bills - if I go back it would be with one other person vs. in a group
