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.

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.

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.

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.

I started with an Americano that was fresh and delicious. We both had the Smoke Ham Sandwich. It was a good size and was packed with ham, cheese, avocado and tomato. The chipotle aioli was flavourful and added a moistness that offset the crusty toasted sourdough. The roast potatoes were crusty and fluffy at the same time. I just wish there were more than 5 pieces. They were so good! I have to mention the service again was so nice, so professional and so courteous. We didn't even realize they close between the brunch and dinner seatings and they never mentioned or pushed us to leave. We were surprised and they were absolutely wonderful about it. We will certainly be back and we highly recommend this gem!

Just like our first visit, they started us off with complimentary salsa and warm tortillas, which is such a welcoming touch. I ordered the Pepino Mi Amor cocktail again, gin with cucumber and lime, because it was fantastic the first time and didn't disappoint this time either. Crisp, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink. For appetizers, we had to repeat the Piña Colada Rockfish Ceviche because I couldn't stop thinking about it after my first visit. It's bright, fresh, and beautifully balanced with that subtle tropical sweetness. We also tried the Grape Salad with grilled cheese and cactus, which was creative and surprisingly harmonious. Both apps really stood out and showcased the kitchen's attention to flavour and texture. For mains, we ordered the Mole Roja (again) and the Arrachera. Both were solid and well executed, but if I'm being honest, they didn't wow me the way the appetizers did. The flavours were good and everything tasted fresh, but the starters felt more exciting and memorable. We finished with tres leches for dessert, which was a lovely, classic ending to the meal. The space is still beautiful and stylish, and the service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, Casa Morales continues to impress with its creativity and quality, especially when it comes to cocktails and appetizers. I'd return again. I still need to try their octopus.

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.

We went to La Nayarita on New Year's Eve with a 5:30 reservation. It was pretty empty when we…read morearrived, but the restaurant slowly got busier as the night went on. The décor is super cute, and the overall vibes were great. The music was excellent, though a little loud at times. The staff were generally friendly, but service was noticeably slow throughout the night. To start, we shared the nachos birria and the Pasión Nayarita ceviche. The nachos were fine but nothing special, and the portion was smaller than what you usually get elsewhere. That said, they were accommodating and served the beef on the side for the vegetarian in our group, which we appreciated. The ceviche was fresh and tasty, but a bit awkward to eat. A lot of the ingredients were cut into long strips that were hard to scoop, and it really felt like it needed chips or tostadas (which it did not come with). I also ordered a blackberry mojito mocktail. It was nice to see mocktail options on the menu, which isn't always a given, and flavour-wise it was good. That said, it was quite seedy, which was a little unpleasant. We also shared the Baja fish tacos and the carne asada. The fish tacos were a bit disappointing. The fish tasted greasy and underwhelming - just not satisfying overall. The carne asada was decent but really needed some kind of sauce. The portion was small, and they could have easily added more mashed potatoes or grape slaw to make it feel more complete. On the plus side, the server let us know the dish came with a free glass of wine, though there were no non-alcoholic substitutions, which was disappointing. We decided to order dessert, but it took a long time for someone to come back to take our order, and we had the same issue when trying to get the bill. We ordered the tres leches cake and churros, and unfortunately both were misses. The tres leches cake was stiff and dry, and the churros were hard on the outside and very undercooked on the inside. Overall, I didn't feel like the value was there. I spent over $110 just on my own bill and still left hungry, which is hard to justify. Between the small portions, inconsistent food, and slow service, this wasn't the best Mexican food I've had in the city, especially at this price point. The vibes and music were fun, but it's probably not a place I'd recommend or go out of my way to return to.

Honestly not bad Mexican food for Toronto! Since moving here from California (after also having…read moregone to school in San Diego, CA) where I took access to good Mexican food for granted a bit, La Nayarita was a pleasant surprise. Now, I cannot compare this to what I took for granted, but I can say that I was pleasantly satiated with the food. The fish tacos were decent and while the quesabirria lacked some depth of flavour (and fattiness?) , it still was alright! I was pretty disappointed in the churros and tres leches cake, but our waiter did also let us know they were in the process of making a new dessert menu, so maybe that's why it felt kinda lackluster? The vibe of the place is really fun and the waitstaff are super friendly and jovial. If i was judging off my expectation of food only, i'd give lower stars, but the entire experience brought my rating up to 4 stars.

I opted for the chicharron quesadilla & a coffee. The quesadilla had a lot of flavour. The chicharron itself looked like the consistency of bacon bits but the quesadilla was packed. It came with a chilli crisp type seasoning that you can add, and that's about it. It was the size of a big tortilla folded in half. Homemade and fresh. No photos! I forgot to take one. Coffee was very good too. Everyone else's food looked really good too Very spacious and bright with a few TVs that had music program on and there was loud music playing as well. Would be ideal if they had menu online for review. They have several gluten free items and some vegetarian options.
