| - Went here on a whim on a cold Monday night for a drink and a bite. It was pretty quiet in the place, we were the only people in the bar area. We decided to try the special cocktail because it was mainly bourbon and lemon (marmalade, something they make themselves) and some other things. We tend to go for beer because Canadian cocktails are so high-priced for so little booze, but we liked the description. It was a really tasty drink.
Onto the food. We had the anticuchos, which is beef heart, with chimmichurri. It was delicious. There are usual 3 skewers per order, but our server suggested we add another one onto the other for easier sharing. An excellent suggestion. We also got the bean quesadilla. There were two different kinds on the plate, one blue corn and one yellow corn (it was dark). These were simple and delicious. Tasted really fresh. Tortillas were a bit on the rustic side, so a bit grainier in texture than some, but they held together. (And stale tortillas are the worst, so I appreciate the effort here.) We ate these with some squirts of the two house salsas, which were both hot and delicious.
While these were not inexpensive bites, they also didn't break the bank. Most importantly, they delivered a huge flavour bang for the buck. The service was friendly, casual, thoughtful and skilled. I would definitely come back. Looking forward to sitting on their patio come summer.
