  • As a lover of flavour, heat, and all things Mexican, I was SO excited to try the Winterlicious menu at Los Calibris with some friends. As a table, we shared the guacamole, and two ceviches to start (the traditional and the tamarind). All were pretty good. I especially enjoyed the tamarind ceviche which was so tangy and flavourful. The traditional ceviche had great flavour, but had been sitting in the acid too long resulting in a slight chew on the fish. To start off our three course Winterlicious menu, I ordered the Pozole de Cerdo y Camaron (soup with pulled pork, shrimp, fresh corn, and oregano). The presentation was underwhelming and the soup was... well... bad. The shrimp were horribly overcooked and mushy and the pulled pork was overwhelmed by the flavour of the shrimp. It was very one note and badly needed a textural element to help escape the mush. It was garnished with a lime wedge (which can only do so much to liven up this soup) and dried oregano - I expected better. My friends ordered the empanadas, which were alright, but kind of a safe choice to place on the menu in my opinion. The second course was Ropa Vieja (brisket, pico de gallo, egg, chayote, toastadas). It was beautifully presented but lacked any sort of heat or acid to balance the salty brisket and tostadas. I asked for habanero sauce which helped waken the flavours of the dish. I think everyone at the table was thinking the same thing, as the hot sauce was used up within seconds. I opted for the Helados y Nieves (sorbet) for dessert which was a rather boring choice I know, but spectacular! I was served passion fruit and mango sorbet alongside a scoop of dolce de leche ice cream, and topped with the perfect amount of some crunchy cookie thing. Really outstanding. Overall, it was a fun evening despite the food because the restaurant had a great vibe and the service was good. I have heard only great things about Los Calibris, so my meal was a disappointment. Some might argue that because it was Winterlicious, the meal was lower quality than it usually would be. I would like to think that Los Calibris can generate better food than this, but the chef should know that the Winterlicious diners only have that one meal as a reflection of her cooking. Was it enough to make me want to go back? Not any time soon.
