Q: Having lived in this area of the Mile End for a little over a year, I can attest to the fact that Taza Flores is a gem that is frequented by mostly locals (especially by those who are attempting to be a bit frugal without sacrificing food quality). This spot also doesn't succumb to same aura of hipster-pretentiousness that plagues other restaurants/bars of the Mile End. Last night, I went with a few people and shared four tapas, including Eggplant Pizza; Cod Fritters; Grilled Chorizo; and the Vegetable Platter. All of these options were fantastic, flavourful, and made with delicate care by the chef in the bar area. Having initially expressed some skepticism around the cod fritters, this particular tapas ironically blew me away. It was fried as the name implies, and served with a rich and creamy tartar sauce. While the service was exceptionally good, I'd suggest in the future that they explain the options more in-depth without being prompted by the restaurant guests (ie. explain each aspect of the vegetable platter tapas). Fun tip: Go after 11pm and order three tapas for ~$23.

Q: I could not disagree with Amber D more! I have taken all of my dogs to Scooby Do's for the last 9 years and they have always listened to what I have to say! They have allowed me to stay with my oldest dogs throughout the grooming process and are never unkind when I ask for something special. I believe the point is that they do listen and do what is best for the dog- which is not always what the owner wants: a lesson I had to learn the hard way. They treat me like family and baby my dogs just as I do- something I have witnessed firsthand since I stayed nearly the whole day with them. I do not trust just anyone with my dogs and the fact that I trust them with my babies speaks volumes!

Q: I went in for breakfast, as they were one of the few open this early on a weekend morning. Walking in, the ambience is very nice. However, this is as much compliments I can give. I ordered a standard breakfast (eggs, toast, sausages, and potatoes). First off, service is slow. It took around 15 minutes to get my food, and it was not busy this early in the morning. The toast was burnt. The eggs were still a bit raw. The hash browns were just a pile of grease. The sausages were bland. All the while, no one offered a refill of my coffee. Lastly, the price I paid for this is absolutely overpriced. Honestly, I would much prefer going to IKEA, spending a dollar for breakfast and expecting mediocre, instead of my experience here.

Q: This club sucks so bad. Supposedly I went on the best nights and it was literally dead in here. Drinks at the bar was good but the music is Terrible! Nothing but EDM and no Hip Hop. I believe clubs will never play as much anymore due to the hype of EDM. Their layout is just like Tryst only difference is XS is a lot bigger and doesn't have the 90 ft waterfall.
