The birria was slow cooked tender and smoky. The chicharron was crispy and salty. The baja fish was milky mild with a crunchy fry and tangy sauce. Each one of them were some of the best tacos I've had in the city. - Guacamole and Chips: The guacamole was fresh and the chips had a great crunchy texture and nuanced saltiness. - Tres Leches: So moist and spongey, not overly sweet. Could have eaten a whole cake of this! Prices are what prices are these days. Place is small but well laid out and interestingly decorated. Service and kitchen are quick. Vibe is welcoming. They obviously take pride in who they are and what they offer, and it shows in the quality and tastiness of their food. Will definitely be back for more!

Otherwise, it's pretty much a dive in Kens with long tables with everything else sketchy enough you don't want to look too closely. I had a Michelada which was quite good and really hit the spot! Then I remembered someone recommended the shrimp tacos, which I always enjoy so I ordered those. Someone at the table ordered nachos which definitely looked good. But when I got my tacos I was confused as to why the shells were on the shrimp still (heads off). Not sure why that would be and it's too obvious to be a mistake, and in hindsight I should have sent that order back to the kitchen as I couldn't eat it like a taco. Instead I had to pick each shrimp up and peel it before eating which was messy because of the mayo, and took long enough that the shell was soggy by the time I got to it. Not ideal and made me think that there were not any Mexicans in the place. My only guess is that they could be Filipino? They would serve shell-on shrimp in some of their dishes which would be fine, being with noodles or rice. Also the karaoke thing made me think of Little Manilla lol, as the bar up there was heaven for out of tune singing 100%. I see now they are closed for the winter 2025/6 and back in April which makes a lot of sense since Kens is often a ghost town when it gets cold out.

Puerto Bravo specializes in authentic Mexican cuisine, offering tacos, tortas, quesadillas, birria,…read moreand other traditional dishes made with recipes inspired by different regions of Mexico. The restaurant has received a Michelin Bib Gourmand designation, recognizing its high-quality food at a good value. The décor is bright, colourful, cozy, and welcoming, creating a relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. The space feels casual and friendly while still offering a memorable dining experience. The menu features a variety of traditional Mexican dishes and seafood specialties. In addition to the food, they also carry Mexican snacks, beverages, and specialty products that are not always easy to find elsewhere in Toronto. We tried the "ClassicMargarita", "Camarones Bravos Taco" and the "Ceviche", and both dishes were amazing. The flavours were fresh and well balanced. They also have a patio during summertime.

We made a reservation (thank, god!)…read moreand came in for a our pre-show dinner for an unforgettable night with outstanding Irene Tu at the Comedy Bar. The small restaurant was half full when we got there but it filled up within 15 min of us sitting down, so yes, make a reservation. The small menu leans heavily on the seafood side which was fine by us and we ordered all food to share. We especially loved our Aguachile with raw shrimp and the street corn appetizer. The seafood tacos were beautifully presented with meticulously prepared tacos that tasted like explosion of the ocean in your mouth. Only downside was that the entire dining room was being served by one very hard working server who was also busy packing take-away orders, so the service was a little slow at times. Perhaps we noticed this more as we had to leave the restaurant by certain time to get to the show. Although the overall experience with the food and service was excellent, I had to take away one star because of the noise level. My friend and I could barely hear each other without shouting across the table, as the sound really carried at the restaurant. I am not sure how the restaurant could remediate this, but definitely something I hope they can improve on for our next visit.

First thing I noticed were the many varieties of tequila brands aling their bar wall. Upon looking over their drink menu, I seen many different margarita flavor options. Since they do not offer flights, I ordered one of each and all had their own distinct flavor. 1st one on my flight list was the Cucumber Cilantro, it was good but couldn't taste much of the tequila. 2nd was the Chili Coconut...daaaamn goood!!!! This was my favorite. 3rd one was the blood orange, good taste definitely different and new for me. I'll have to try this one again to give it a true and fair feedback. The Mixologists were friendly, outgoing and I appreciated their recommendations. Jordan recommended a nice, smooth, flavorful tequila- The Adictivo Extra Anejo. Im buying a bottle, I liked it that much. Until next time peeps.

We were greeted by the owner who let us pick a spot on their patio and brought us chips and salsa on the house, and waters. I got the horchata which was delicious and my friend got the Mexican Coke. We stayed to watch the fifa game and ordered a couple of tamarind margaritas slushies made by this wife. I wouldn't normally go for tamarind but these were phenomenal! Sweet and spicy, refreshing and massive, I would come back just for this! They also treated us to free Paloma's which were so refreshing and tasty, it was sweet but it felt like a clean drink. The patio only has a few spots was it was nicely contained in its own area away from the sidewalk but close enough to people watch. Finally the staff were so attentive and kind. They seem like such a sweet family and make I'll definitely come back to try their food!

The fried chips were nicely crunchy, which is a perfect pairing. My favourote dish of the meal. - Burrito Bowl: Got this with suadero, which was tender yet chewy. The overall bowl also had a freshness to it to pair with the salty beef, as it had a good amount of veggies, rice and beans. - Fajitas: Got this with shrimp and cheese. The shrimp was tasty though a bit rubbery, loved the generous amount of cheese. Overall dish was a tad too salty for my taste. Place has a lively vibe. Prices are what prices are these days. Service is super attentive, and kitchen is quick. Overall, a good spot if you're in the mood for some Mexican cuisine.

When I went to the basement washroom, I swear I saw what looked like the end of a mouse's tail sticking out from under the door. Needless to say, I completely lost my appetite. When the waiter asked how everything was, I told him honestly that it was terrible. I had only taken two bites, and there was really no response. I wouldn't have wanted a replacement anyway after that experience. I also had some fruit bites, and about 10 minutes later my stomach started gurgling. By the time I got home, I felt awful. I was shivering, felt like I was going to throw up, and had to rush to the bathroom. It honestly felt like food poisoning. And I still paid for my meal Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place.
