| - Decent food but at crazy prices: sadly, this place fits the "small plates = large cheque and empty stomach" tapas stereotype.
My girlfriend and I spent just over a hundred dollars for a several (three or four?) plates, two deserts, and four (total) glasses of wine--for that price, I expect a meal, not a snack...particularly in Kensington Market.
The food was reasonably tasty, but nothing aside from the churros and chorizo was particularly spectacular. Yes, the restaurant is cute and the service was decent enough (though the sole waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed), but the portions were insultingly small. For example, we ordered homemade breadsticks wrapped with jamon serano and manchego. The jamon serano was maybe a quarter of a usual slice, and it took me a few seconds to recognize the tiny, paper-thin slices of manchego as cheese.
Save your money and go somewhere else, though for Spanish tapas in Toronto, you may not have many other choices...perhaps that's why they charge what they charge? Sad.
