A beautiful patio, a friendly, attentive server, and good food. I was surprised that the tortillas didn’t come with any kind of a side dish, although they were tasty and filling enough for a main lunch dish. Interesting artwork indoors!

Great drinks and delicious food. Camarones a La Diavala we’re delicious but you have to like your food spicy to enjoy them. Three of our group received their entrees about ten minutes before the other three but that was the only issue. Great place, we had a great time.

I liked the fact that you were able to turn down the music as it makes it easier for me to converse with others at the table. Beer selection could be improved with craft or local beers.

The service was fantastic - I really appreciated the complimentary Tostitos and salsa. Did not give 4 stars because the drinks were very overpriced and I didn’t love my meal.

Among the finest Mexican cuisine we've experienced, every dish we ordered exceeded expectations. We opted for a seafood medley as our main course, and it was absolutely scrumptious, even though the Spanish name escapes me. The proprietor added to the experience, welcoming us warmly and making us feel completely at ease. We will definitely visit again.

This restaurant was fantastic. I would definitely go again. The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing. The atmosphere was perfect. I would recommend that they change the locks on their bathroom doors, or WD40 them. I cut myself twice.

A nice place with friendly staff but disorganized. The food is creative and good but they didnt get orders correct and the food was on the slow side. Cocktails looked great but seemed to be weak.

This happy, well-organized space is Parkdale is run by a couple whose standards are the highest I've encountered since the pandemic. The food is delicious, the menu goes beyond the usual "Mexican-style" dishes. They were kind and helpful to us (one of us is in a wheelchair, another has a wheeled walkeries) aniesd when somone in our party let slip that it was my birthday, they went all-out, with staff in sombreros (and one for me) serenading and producing a slice of dessert flan with a sparkler! The value for money is very good. The back patio is lovely, or so I found on a previous trip, though there are steps you must go up. The washroom is downstairs, which doesn't make it ideal for those with mobility issues, but we wheelies were able to stop at the library on the way back, to use theirs. Altogether I'd rate this place excellent, although I'm not a fan of high levels of music.

We went to celebrate my birthday and loved this place! The staff and service was amazing! Drinks were excellent. Absolutely gorgeous Patio ❤️ The mushroom cactus tacos were very flavourful and tasty. The chicken Sopas and Flautas were a little bland, that’s why 3 stars on the food. Overall a very good experience!

Food was delicious, portions were great, they kept bringing us hand made tortilla chips and a fantastic salsa (we waited for a friend for quite a while), and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.
