Having lived in the US for several years I have got used to quality Mexican food and thought that would be one of the things I would really miss in Toronto when I moved back. Now it seems Toronto has really stepped up its game in the past few years as I see many Mexican restaurants around the city with quality food. Playa Cabana is a very good example of that. They offer great tacos selections, good margarita and a cool atmosphere. The restaurant is cozy and it is very nicely decorated with colorful lights and decorations and a rustic feeling that's very popular these days. The service is plenty and very friendly. The tacos were right on. We tried the Baja, the red snapper, LA truck and braised short ribs. They were all great. I specially liked the baja. We also got the Elotes which are the corn on the cobs. They are always one of my favorite appetizers. I found theirs to not have as much cheese and a bit low on salt but corn is always good anyway. The margarita was tasty but as it is the case with drinks at every restaurant north of the border they were pretty small.
I'm used to paying less for Mexican food but i guess i have to get use the higher prices.
Would definitely go back again.
