Reviews for Tapas at Embrujo in Toronto, ON
Took me back to Spain! Just got back from a trip to Spain and was really craving some good tapas. The place and food definitely... made me feel like I was back in streets of Barcelona! My fiancé and I booked a reservation via their website and arrived on aThursday night. They offered half priced glasses of Sangria????. There was no flamenco show as it only happens on Fridays andSaturdays ($5 entrance fee), but the waitress let me take a peak of the students practicing downstairs below the restaurant.Their menu was slightly different than what they offered on their website - some news items and others removed. We ordered 4dishes, all of which were delicious! If our bellies had enough space, we would have ordered another! Our favourites ended upbeing the chorizo and the pulled pork. The meat of the ribs was sooo tender and fell right off the bones. That’s not to saythe bacon wrapped dates was not just as good! I’d probably try a different croquette option next time, but my fiancé lovedit! I’m surprised the place was not that full. In my opinion, its waaay better than the overpriced spots on King West orRichmond Hill. Staff were nice, fast service (we were in and out within an hour), food was authentic, and prices werereasonable. What’s not to love? We’ll certainly be coming back for more! Read more
Delicious food and even more delicious Sangaria! Strolled into this venue on a Saturday evening and had really great food as... well as being treated to the Saturday evening entertainment (Flamenco Dancing!). Lost one mark because the food procession was abit crazy... Totally understand the style of Tapas means that each small plate comes out when it is ready, however we usuallyhad 1 random plate on its own and had to wait a very long time for the bread and patatas plates. Basically we had to have ourchorizo and meats first and it was 40mins for the appetizers style plates. Service was very slow so not the best option if youare very hungry! Read more
Great atmosphere, great food and service (except the octopus, the taste was blend). The menu on the website in not updated. I... will definitely go back and recommend to friends. Read more
I recently ordered from Tapas at Embrujo for my anniversary dinner. I had wanted to support a local restaurant especially during... these restrictions (once again). However, I concur with other reviews where items on the menu were not available. Papas Bravasis the most staple tapas dish and not available that evening and on pick up was told that there were no mussels for the paellabomba but a ‘substitute’ was made. That didn’t bode well at the beginning of the meal. Also on pick up the doors werelocked and in this weather it’s not great to wait outside when you knew what time we would be arriving. Everything lookedgood but the salt on the dishes were way to much on the paella and the beef. Cut down on the salt! It would taste much better.Unfortunately was a very disappointing meal. *Edit - I just checked my receipt and there was NO discount but thanks for yourcomment. Lying is frowned upon and your tone in your response is unwarranted on a fair review and by the way it was not threeseconds wait. *Edit 2 - On your website the paella is not $59 it’s $55 if that is the case you increased your prices thenmaybe update that plus the other two dishes ordered the total came to $77.97. There is no discount and please find the receiptposted. It is a shame you want to pick on customers. I debated whether to post my original review to protect a local businessbut this behaviour is isolent. Also edited the stat rating to one after this conversation. I understand you are defending yourbusiness but you need to learn to take feedback to improve. * Edit 3 - It’s quite convenient you can’t see my uploadedreceipt. I cook at home so don’t worry about that - what part of it was a special occasion did you not understand? I supportmany lovely small business and restaurants on the Danforth and thought to do the same for you but clearly you don’t seem tolike customers especially if this is how you talk to them. It shows your true customers and exemplifies your rudeness. Als Read more
We came to Tapas at Embrujo on a weekday with a reservation and it was very quiet, perhaps, a slow night (no live... music). Anyway, the ambiance was still welcoming and the service was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there wereseveral items on the menu that we wanted to try but they weren’t available. Still, we ordered an assortment of tapas, drinks,a paella and a dessert. Overall, the food was good but, not all dishes were as memorable as we expected. However, we think thatit is still worth to try (again). We had the following dishes: PAN DE ALCALA, PIMIENTOS DEL PIQUILLO Y QUESO DE CABRA, GAMBASAL AJILLO, DÁTILES CON BEICON Y ALMENDRAS, CHAMPIÑONES AL AJILLO, TAPAS SOLOMILLO AL WHISKEY, POLLO AL AJILLO, CHORIZO ALVINO, PAELLA NEGRA, FLAN.

I came across this restaurant about a month ago. I’m from Spain, so I wanted to find a Spanish restaurant with authentic... traditional Spanish food so badly. You really feel the Spanish touch of the chef there. I’m extremely happy I finally foundit, I’ve been there three times and everything I’ve tried is delicious. High quality ingredients and unbeatableprices. Great customer service done by a friendly staff. Last but not least, they have an amazing flamenco show for just anextra charge of $5!! I’m looking forward to trying paella!! :) Read more
Had a lovely time last night, second time at this restaurant. The service was wonderful like the first time, food was so... delicious and fresh we ordered many tapas and they are all tasty, and such a lovely and cozy ambiance with a flamenco show.Highly recommend it. Read more
I don’t know how I haven’t been to this restaurant before. The tapas at Embrujo are outstanding. I’m a Spaniard foodie... myself and I love cooking so I can assure you that if you want authentic Spanish tapas and ambience, this is the place togo. The stuff and the food is just awesome. The flamenco show that Maria Serrano runs on Fridays and Saturdays is fantastic, youwill feel transported to what is to me the heart of flamenco, Andalusia. ???? Read more
