Quetzal

I had an absolutely unforgettable dining experience at this Mexican restaurant in Toronto! From start to finish, every dish was crafted to perfection, and I was so immersed in the flavors that I didn’t even stop to take photos—something that rarely happens. The bone marrow was rich, buttery, and perfectly complemented by the seasonings and accompaniments, making it one of the most indulgent dishes of the night. The Argentinian shrimp were plump, juicy, and bursting with incredible flavor, cooked to absolute perfection. What truly elevated these dishes were the freshly made tacos—soft, warm, and the perfect vessel to savor every bite of the bone marrow and shrimp. The combination was simply out of this world. The ceviche was another standout, unlike any I’ve had before. The texture was unique, and the balance of acidity, heat, and freshness made every bite an explosion of flavor. It was clear that every ingredient was chosen with care, resulting in a dish that was both refreshing and bold. To finish, the gluten-free dessert was an absolute star. It had just the right amount of sweetness—enough to satisfy without being overpowering. The texture was spot on, proving that gluten-free desserts can be just as indulgent and satisfying as any other. What truly surprised me was that I’m not usually a fan of Mexican food, but this restaurant completely changed my perspective. Every dish was executed with such care and precision that I left wanting more. If you’re in Toronto and looking for an authentic, elevated Mexican dining experience, this is the place to go. An absolute must-visit!
