Reviews for Playa Cabana Cantina in Toronto, ON

Food was not bad, although way too pricey for the size and quality. It would help if we could mix and match the tacos. My main... issue though was the service, our waitress wasn’t very helpful and would rush us throughout our time there. When we asked forrecommendations, the first thing she said was that she was vegan and only recommended two plant based dishes. Would help if shecould have asked someone else what the most popular dishes were but the info she gave was irrelevant. She also didn’t notleave us alone, she would come back every 10mins and would hover over us. She’d take our plates even when we were still ourlast bite. It was a very uncomfortable experience. She asked to bring our bills even when I was clearly still eating/drinking. Ihad to tell her to come back when I’m finished my food and she kept watching me??? Even the people beside us were gettingalmost the same attention and was clearly annoyed. Please have better trained staff. Read more

Awesome place for Mexican food, if you can find it. Google maps lead us all over the mall. However, once we did find it we were... greeted by friendly, professional staff. Our server laughed at all my terrible attempts at humour andade every effort to mke orexperience a lovely one. My wife, our 14 yr old and I had fish, pork and chicken tacos, respectively. The chips and guac weredynamite!! The fresh salsa was generally not to our brand of taste.. but hey..taste is subjective. Now the hot sauce is hot????????. A smoky adobe chile or a habenero. The habenero was way too much for me personally but the smoky one was perfect. Asfor drinks.. all the usual suspects for Mexican beer plus margaritas and mojitos.. I LOVED the mojitos with a tonne of freshmint and lime. Finished the meals with crispy churros served in goat milk dolce leche.. though I was suffed I couldn't let adrop go to waste. Read more

Had a few cocktails and a couple of tacos here. It was a bit hard to find how to get in since it's on the second floor (easiest... way was through the main doors and up the stairs). It's a very narrow restaurant, so I recommend you make a reservation so youget a good seat. The service was great, the staff checked in on us a few times to make sure everything was okay even though theywere super busy. The food was good and the cocktails were nice, I'd come back.

The environment and setup are nice and cozy. Their cocktails are rich and tasty. We tried guacamole with tortillas and flautas... as an appetizer which were delicious. Enchiladas suiza is recommended as a main course. Don’t forget to try churros as well. Read more

The food wasn’t bad and definitely a step up from something like chipotle but I don’t know if it’s that much better for... the price. The barbacoa was definitely the best part. There’s no heat and no big flavour in anything else. I think you’denjoy this if you wanted a fancier chipotle experience but definitely not flavourful like real Mexican food. Also, I don’tthink they have an accessible entrance which is unacceptable for an establishment in 2021. Read more

Uber’s eats order of the fish, shrimp, and short rib tacos along with the pork carnitas burrito. A bit pricy, but solid... offering of tasty tacos. My favourite was the pork carnitas burrito, while my wife liked the fish tacos and crispy shrimptacos. The shrimp tacos need to be eaten fresh as the fried shell gets soggy quick - the “direct” Uber eats option wasworth it here. A great midtown meal. Read more

Ordered via Uber eat the Cinqo de Mayo special meal for 2 that was supposed to include a taco(8) kit with condiments and 2... choices of meat, 2 elotes and a churros dessert for 48$......I only received 6 tacos already prepared without nothing else. Thetacos was so oily and was falling apart.Very disappointed! Read more

This was meh. Ordered pickup and it went smooth and fast but the filling if the flautas was dry and filling half of the flauta.... It came with enough green watery sauce to help it down the throat. I do appreciate the spice was on the side. The ceviche is okbut far from impressive, would be better with more fish. Read more
