Lightly coated and flavourful! An autumn salad with a lime dressing and bierria tacos rounded out our meal. Server was friendly and efficient HOWEVER, she was chopping on gum and it grossed me out. Servers should not be chewing gum while serving so that would be my complaint about the place. It was spacious bright and clean.

We decided to order the fish tacos and carne asada tacos. Surprisingly, The tacos were delicious. We ordered adult beverages. The mojito and strawberry margarita tasted like they forgot to put alcohol in it. I can best describe the mix drinks as virgin mix drinks. They are very stingy with the alcohol. Overall Rasa's has great food and mix drinks needs major improvement.

Doesn't look like much from the outside but... Best guac we have ever had! Amazing plantain chips freshly fried! Baja fish tacos and cactus tacos were melt in your mouth delicious! This little gem is perfect for a light lunch... don't let the outside fool you, it's authentic and delicious, and reasonably priced! Super high quality food, and perfectly cooked!

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.

Visited this spot as its close to the museum and Casa Loma. The strong reviews looked promising so…read moreI decided to book a reservation here. The place is a bit small so it can be a bit tight so I would highly recommend having reservations if you have a large group. Tacos: The soft and the crispy tacos were both delicious. The tinga chicken and the beef barbacoa were juicy and full of flavour. The portions was fair, the quality was a standout and tasted quite authentic. Overall, I really had a great experience at Playa Cabana, totally would come here again to try out their other dishes.

The food was awful. I ordered the vegetarian enchiladas, and I've never had enchiladas served with…read moreraw zucchini and carrots. On top of that, the entire meal arrived cold. It got worse. 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.

The restaurant comes from the team behind Gus Tacos, but this is more of a sit-down experience, with handmade tortillas, tacos, larger plates, and a strong cocktail and tequila/mezcal menu. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding a nice touch to your visit. We started with the "Tuna Tostada" and "Vuelve a la Vida", followed by the "Barbacoa de Borrego" and "Baja Fish tacos". Everything was nicely presented, and the seafood dishes were fresh and full of flavour. We paired our food with their cocktails, the "Bendito Dios" and "Oaxacan Old Fashioned", both were great choices. We finished with the "Pastel de Elote" and "Pastel de Chocolate", which were a perfect way to end the night. Great food, creative drinks, and a lively Kensington Market atmosphere made for a really fun evening.

Location/Service This place is right in the heart of…read moreKensington market, so easily accessible by public transit. There is street and Green P parking around the block, just need to be careful and make sure to obey any parking restrictions. Interior is very modern with a good use of the wide windows to bring in the natural lightning. I'm sure at night it gets more moody, perfect for the romantic vibe. Staff were extremely nice and friendly - I had the opportunity to personally speak with the head chef, and he was very knowledgeable and passionate about Mexico food. I loved learning all the little stories and history behind both the restaurant and dishes. Food I was invited to try a few of their signature dishes, which include mains, appetizers and drinks. Most of their dishes are great for sharing - so great coming in with a small group to try a bit of everything. What I recommend is trying out the Crema Poblana, it's like a great soup starter that's creamy and hearty, perfect for any occasion and weather. Sopes Hongos was also very interesting - using a mushroom base that's filled with distinctive flavours I also liked the Chile en Nogada, which was a representation of the Mexican flag, and the ingredients mashed together was very complementary to each other and it was very pretty to look at! Having only trying mostly just tacos, I never knew Mexican would be so much more and I love the modern twists behind it to make it so much more elevated!

The only thing that didn't stand out were the donuts but I could also been so full by the end of my meal. I went here on a weekday evening and there were lots of empty tables. Service was super quick and the serve was very nice. Can't wait to come back here again!

I love the texture of the doubles wrap especially soaking up some of the curry. I was a messy eat so but worth it. Inside was a chickpea curry. We got it to eat while in a line up across the street.

The staff doesn't even know their own menu. You order something and they have no idea what you are asking for even when you point at it. Spicy margarita tasted like lime juice, i was chewing on bits of jalapeño. It was just terrible. It took over 20 minutes to cash us out. Instead of taking the menus, they left them there and brought out the plate and placed it on top of the menu. The birria tacos are not birria tacos. The chicken tacos... the "chicken" looked like dog food.

The drinks were great, no issues with the margarita towers. Same with the sweet corn, they have a little of spice however that were cooked to perfection. The octopus main dish was also very aesthetic. (Gave us clamps to use instead of fork lol) In the end, everything was great. However the main dish which is the burger was not that great. Would not recommend. Everything else was good. 4 people ordered the burger the one with the least food experience liked it the most Ok, aside from food. The elevator going up stunk and during the duration of our stay. Plates were broken numerous times resulting in shards hitting our group.
