Have you ever found a restaurant that was so good that you were afraid to tell people about it in…read morecase it got so popular you'd never find a table next time you went? This is such a restaurant. But for the greater good, and because it totally deserves to be hyped up, I'm gonna share this gem with you! Granted, I have only been here once and I had never had Nicaraguan food before but everything this restaurant served up from drinks to appetizers to mains to dessert was unbelievable. It may look like nothing special on paper and even look understated on the plate but once it's in your mouth your tastebuds are in for a ride! Let me explain a bit more...the "tacos" look like a sundae collided with a salad on the plate but when you break it up and try it the crunch and the sweet and the sour just works like magic! I ordered the Churrasco but swapped out the mashed potato with rice and beans - how the Nicaraguans eat it I was told - and boy was I glad I listened! I have never downed so much rice and beans so quickly in my life; normally I avoid them so that's testament to how tasty it was. 3 out of all 3 of the desserts were delicious but the standout favourite among my party was surprisingly the cheesecake, so don't knock it till you try it. The atmosphere is lively and colourful, and the service was great too! That's it; I think I've shared enough - you're welcome

Came here for dinner on a Sunday night, it was pretty busy but we got seated right away. Service…read morewas super quick and friendly. We had the camarones a la sabana which was a shrimp and rice dish. The rice was super flavourful and the plantain and avocado that came with the dish was a perfect addition. It also came with a spicy sauce that went really with the rice and shrimp. I do think the meal was lacking a bit in shrimp but overall it was very filling. I also really enjoyed the ceviche, perfectly sweet and sour and a hefty portion. I would say these two dishes would be a good amount for two people, unless you are both super hungry. The restaurant itself is homey though the washroom is down a steep stair case so be careful. The restaurant itself is also not accessible, there is a step to get in. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal, and the tamarind juice was so refreshing and went great with the food. I want to come back to try the fish of the day.

I've ordered the shredded pork and cheese on a few occasions and it always satisfies the cravings. They top it off with a tomato sauce and coleslaw (very delicious pairing), as well as an optional green salsa (spicy). The dish is hearty and comforting with all the South American flavours.

The dough was a bit wimpy and not baked fully enough to be firm and crusty. The filling was good but not hot enough. Overall a place for a quick bite but nothing spectacular.

. After a very long wait, the newly opened TTC Line 5 was finally there. I just wanted to hop on…read morethe Line 5 train and see where it could take us. Rincón Paisa already had many positive reviews on major platforms. Plus, I had never had Colombian food . On the storefront, a worker happened to see me taking photos outside and kindly welcomed me to take more. My family and I went into the restaurant. There were many signs showing it is an authentic one: 1. The indoor decoration has a strong Latin American vibe -- wooden furniture, flowers, Latin music, etc. 2. Couldn't understand anything on the menu 3. All customers and workers spoke in Spanish We were there to have brunch. I don't recall exactly which dishes we ordered that day; however, we were super full! The portions of their meals are huge. All the things on the plate were tasty. There were many different ingredients on the plate: plantain, eggs, chorizo, fried pork belly, ground beef, avocado, rice, beans, etc. A very good deal. We might have seemed too unfamiliar with the food, because I didn't even know how to eat Empanadas. After I ordered an Empanada and let the servers in the restaurant watch me eat it awkwardly, a server who I guessed might be the owner treated us to two pastries -- one looked like a ball, and the other was flat bread. I looked them up by AI, and they should be Buñuelo and Almojábana, two cheese pastries from Colombia. I hope it's appropriate, but Buñuelo may be the most delicious cheese bread I've ever had -- it's tastier than the main dishes . I think it's a beautiful local business. If you're curious and haven't had Colombian food before, definitely give it a shot .

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!! Was walking around the block to kill some time before an appointment and…read moredecided to pop in because I've never had Colombian food before. I ended up grabbing some empanadas and holy shit these are tasty. They were so fresh and crispy, I got one chicken and potato empanada and one cheese. The chicken one was wrapped in a corn dough and the cheese one was flour I think but both were really, really good-- and cheap! $2.50 per any flavor. They have tamales here too, I'd like to come back to try them. The interior is also very clean and the decor is so cute. Guy with the tattoos and stretched ears at the front was also really nice. I wish I had more time to try a dish!! I saw other peoples' food and it looked so tasty. Great portions and beautiful dinnerware as well. Will definitely be back and highly recommend for a quick bite :)

Review for one thing and one thing only- The Empanadas!!…read more Now Empanadas is a hard thing to review because different parts of south america have different styles to how its made. In this food court alone- you will find El Salvadorian , Colombian and this stand which makes my favorite ones - Ecuadorian. Not to take away from the Colombian styled empanadas that come in a corn and yellow shell. I love them as well. However this lady in this booth makes these fresh empanadas every weekend and they are so crunchy in the exterior but stuffed well inside. At $2 a pop. Cant go wrong!

I don't frequent this area often, which is a shame because it's taken me this long to try Completo…read more We got: - Completo hot dog: Hey, if they have their name on it, we gotta try it. And this was gooooood. An all beef hotdog absolutely buried in salsa, mashed avocado, mayo and their house hot sauce. The bun was groaning with all the weight, and I was smacking my lips because of it. - Classic churrasco sandwich: Got this with thinly sliced steak. Again, lots of toppings (diced tomatoes, mashed avocado, different sauces) though this time it drowned out the star of the sandwich. The beef was tasty and tender, so would have liked more of it. - Corn chips: Homemade tortilla chips where you can taste the homemade difference. The side salsa and guacamole and crema were standard good. I wouldn't mind getting my complete meals from Completo for days to come - that was good!

The food isn't bad I will give them that, it's surprisingly expensive for such small portions…read more.. that being said the food is not bad BUT it does not travel well. Try not ti order the food eat it in the restaurant instead. The waitress is great and very sweet, she always makes sure the food and ambience is up to par. The music is very enjoyable. I only started going there a lot these last few months. The staff is small but officient the three of them work like a well oiled machine, if you are looking for something quick this is the place to be. HOWEVER the reason I am leaving such a poor rating is because the washroom NEVER works it is always out of survive and when it does it smells if not bad awful. The blue dye on the paper used on the plates and the cabbage comes off on the food that can't be safe. Not only that but most of the time when you make a complaint or a comment nothing changes. The boss is great but has not been in for about 2 months and although he's a great guy but we can really tell how much more relaxed the staff is and sometimes how much better they work together without him there... anyways the food is pretty good do as you please with this information.
