Name: Playa Cabana
Location: 111 Dupont Street, Toronto
Cuisine: Mexican
Total Price: $74 (+ tax)

Within the quiet neighbourhood of Dupont and Davenport you will find Playa Cabana, a busy Mexican restaurant serving a variety of delicious tacos and other great Mexican dishes. The menu offers many shareable items from their appetizers, tacos, burritos and house specials.

We ordered a shrimp appetizer, two types of tacos and a house special. Everything we ordered tasted incredible and you can definitely tell that they used the freshest ingredients. My absolute favourite dish was the Taco de Pescado (fish taco) because the fish was very light and flaky, yet full of flavour. They also serve their house hot sauce which you can purchase to take home with you.

Cubeta de Camaron - Shrimp Bucket ($16) 
A pound of shrimp tossed in an arbol-garlic butter, cajun style.

Ancho Braised Shortrib-Brisket Crispy Tacos ($14) 
AAA Ontario beef shortrib braised in ancho chiles wrapped in fresh corn tortillas and griddled to a golden crispiness. Served with pico de gallo guac and homemade crema.

Taco de Pescado (Baja-Style) Baja 'Catch of the Day' fish tacos ($13) 
White fish battered with Tecate-cerveza.

Carne Asada ($19) 
Flat iron steak marinated in guajillo and chipotle chiles then seared a la plancha. 
Served with fresh corn tortillas, guac, jalapeno-pico, rice and choice of beans.


Dos Equis Beer: Ambar ($6) and Lager Especial ($6)

My overall experience was a great one and I will definitely be coming back for more mouthwatering tacos! Check out Playa Cabana as it is a great place for lunch or dinner, but be sure to make reservations in advance if you're looking to swing by for dinner for it can be jam packed with people waiting for seats.
