| - Visited Playa Cabana Hacienda last weekend and the restaurant definitely gave off that indie, yet not-too-hipster vibe. With dim lighting, friendly staff, and a liquor bar that was miles high, I was excited to dine. Stupidly, we did not make reservations, but were lucky enough to snag a spot at the bar. Our waiter was extremely friendly, introducing himself and then telling us the specials for the day. One of which the octopus tostada that I had to get and my boyfriend tried their chill infused tequila concoction. His drink arrived first and I must say, one of the most complex, yet amazing cocktails I've had in a while. It took about 10 seconds for the heat to kick in, but it was wonderful. To order we shared the...
- guac & chips to start (that's a necessity for mexican food, of course)
- octopus tostada
- kalbi beef taco (lettuce wrap style)
- chicken taco
- ahi tuna taco
- and lastly, the octopus taco that they are so famously known for
All were extremely flavourful, and just the right portion size to fill us up. The only 'decent' dish was the ahi tuna taco, which my boyfriend described as slightly under seasoned and an odd combination of flavours. However, the homemade green hot sauce at the table was to die for, and gave the tacos the perfect amount of heat.
I will definitely be returning to Play Cabana Hacienda, and after this experience, am excited to try some of the other Playa Cabana restaurants.
