| - We were in Kensington Market and stopped in because I saw a sign that advertised their Summer Cocktails. We were able to sit at the bar and were helped immediately. I'll let you know that it's lively in here, and by lively I mean loud. They bump loud Latin music and the overall vibe made me feel like I was back in Tampa. We ordered some mojitos because the bartender said they're really good. She didn't lie, they were good. Who knew I'd get a killer mojito in Toronto?
After a couple of rounds we decided to order an arepa to share. We initially ordered a chicken one but they were out of chicken so we opted for steak and Havarti cheese. When the arepa came out it was stuffed with so much meat and the meat was perfectly seasoned. Damn, this thing was delicious!
I saw a lot of reviews where people said the service wasn't good. I can see how that might happen because the girls that worked there were, sometimes, so engulfed in the music and the vibes in here they got a little carried away with the party. So, no, they weren't the most attentive staff but they were nice enough. Also, I feel like they kinda nickel and dime you with the whole Create Your Own Arepa deal. You pay a base price for just meat and the corn sandwich deal and everything else is a fee. So we paid a $1 extra for a bomb Havarti cheese that was dripping out of the arepa when it arrived. I've never paid extra for cheese on an arepa before so that was a little off-putting.
Anyway, I enjoyed the vibe, the food, and the drinks here. 3.5
