This place has been around for months now and I was finally able to check it out, even though I live literally down the street. Over the years that I have lived in the area, though, I've noticed that this location hasn't brought much luck to the tenants. Sofi's is probably the 3rd to take over the spot. Fingers crossed that they'll be able to establish themselves nicely and as fortunate as say, Fratelli's, which is located at the same plaza and has been an icon at Old Kingston Rd., along with Ted's.
Their menu is quite extensive especially when it comes to tacos, which is nice. They also do offer more of the Canadian type dishes such as poutine, wings, mac and cheese, which makes this a great place for a group that includes the foodies and the not-so-foodies. Not only that, you can order from their pretty large specials menu so that your party can try many various dishes. One thing I must add is that their presentation is beautiful! Makes you feel as though you're in a higher end type of restaurant
Elotes: A nice start to a meal if you're gangsta enough to be sporting some pieces of corn stuck in yo teef. The queso fresco was deliciously complimented with the paprika sprinkled on. I just personally wished that the corn wasn't over-boiled. I like to have that nice pop and crunch when I eat corn on a cob. This was a little to mushy to me, but the flavor made up for it. 4.5/5
Ceviche: Very cute presentation in a martini glass, accompanied by some fried tortilla chips. Though the presentation was cute, I'd personally rather have the chips on the side since it just gets soggy, unless of course, you eat it right away. I've also had my share of fresh ceviche, mainly in Costa Rica, but their ingredients were still quite fresh. I wish they did have more shrimp and scallops in it though, rather than the other garnishes. 4.5/5
Chicken Nachos: Had just a few bites but it thoroughly enjoyed it. The chips were nicely cooked and didn't get soggy and kept their crunch. Jalapeños were very fresh, versus the usual pickled ones. Serving was also quite generous so it's a perfect appetizer or for a pekish group. 5/5
Pescado (Fish Tacos): Because they have a pretty large tacos menu, I asked the waitress what they recommend and she recommended the Pescado which was a nice, meaty white fish. It was nicely battered and not greasy at all. I'm quite picky with my fish tacos but this I'd definitely order again. 5/5
Longosta (Lobster Tacos): Whenever there's lobster on the menu, it's a must try. I'm glad that my friend feels the same way as we happily shared a platter. We received a pretty good portion of lobster and it also tasted pretty fresh. Definitely worth trying. 5/5.
