    Cute place, always wanted to eat here and never did for a long time. Recommend getting a plate of something rather than individual tacos - they're delicious, but tiny! The Mexican soda was interesting and I would try more flavours. Mango was yummy.

    Delicious flavours! Quick and friendly service, along with a lively ambiance! We ordered mainly appetizers and the sauces and spices used were amazing. Tacos were purchased individually but definitely packed a punch. Although the portions were a bit small, the big flavours made up for it. Thank you for the great experience, we definitely will be returning!

    This isn't an authentic Mexican Taco but it's great for a fusion taco. I ordered 3 varieties and the flavours all started tasting the same after a few bites. I think they use the same sauce on all of them. It would be great if they added their our house hot sauce on the menu.

    My husband and I went today for the first time and the food was incredible! Best tacos we’ve ever had! The atmosphere and decor was pretty cool too. I highly recommend the Brussel sprout taco and corn bread! We will definitely be back.

    We decided on the Mule today for a quick lunch, very cool spot, great atmosphere and vibe inside, very retro looking. The service was great, met with a smile, very attentive and helpful. We started with a calamari which was excellent, not just too rubbery, very fresh and not too excessive batter. We decided to do one of each of the tacos on the menu and shared them. Not sure if this was their normal menu or just for the Hamilton Supercrawl weekend. Either way all were delicious in their own way, very flavourful, fresh and kept us wanting more. However, three tacos each was more than enough. Have to say the fish taco tasted the best in our opinion. Prices were reasonable, a little on the high side, but you are getting a quality meal. Well worth it. Overall service and food were top notch and would definitely recommend if you are in the area or have a craving for tacos.

    This restaurant is a testament to the artistry of fine dining. If you’re seeking a place where exquisite cuisine meets unparalleled hospitality, this establishment is a must-visit. Exploring the special tacos menu at the Mule was a delightful adventure. Among the diverse options, the tofu tacos stood out as a flavorful and innovative choice.

    Had a delightful meal at this place. The food was nothing short of delicious, complemented by their beautifully designed decor. The drinks served were spot on in terms of taste. There was a slight hiccup with our waiter not being entirely familiar with the menu, but it didn’t overshadow the overall experience. A surprising highlight was the bathroom — it’s a must-visit! Would definitely come back.

    Great brunch - interesting flavours and takes on Mexican/NA staples. All of the staff are lovely; don't hesitate to ask for recommendations. They have a good selection of beers (local breweries etc) and other drinks!

    Visiting from GTA Was looking for something to eat after the show and stumbled upon this place. Service was great, felt welcomed, great atmosphere. As for the food though, it was nothing to write home about. One thing was that everything was fresh and tasted fresh. But flavor wise it was pretty blend. I had the fried chicken, og fish and another chicken taco and were alright. The best one was the fried chicken. Also had some calamari which were great and some wings that were super tiny. Price wise like everything else nowadays is expensive, but affordable, it ended up being about a $100 for two people.

    Really delicious!! We had the guac, pork belly tacos, chicken tacos and beef brisket tacos. All awesome, the beef, though tasty was the simplest, just spicy and juicy. Could have been more complex like the others. Still awesome.. service was great. A bit too loud in the place but that's a matter of preference. We will be back.

    it was a pleasure to visit this place! The food and cocktail came very fast and tasty, my only complaint is that there was too much sauce on some of the tacos. The service was great as well especially considering it was midnight when we visited.

    Hip gluten-free Mexican fusion restaurant and traditional bar. Have eaten here almost a dozen times. Flavourful and clean Mexican food dishes and hard liquor menu, especially tequila. Friendly and helpful staff. My favourite dishes are the calamari and chicken tacos - also vegetarian, beef and fish options depending your preference. Washrooms are down stairs. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is fun.

    Okay, yes. I love this place. The food is amazing and the drinks are actually really good! Came here on a Friday and they had a good selection of music playing and even had a DJ set up later in the evening. It was fun. The one thing I noticed is that the staff is happy here. They were jamming to the music, having fun and were still able to put out great food and did not neglect the customers. It says a lot about the management & how they treat their employees. Will definitely come back and would definitely recommend to everyone!

    The food was amazing! Service was really good especially considering how busy it was on a Saturday night. The tacos are the best I’ve ever had. My only issue is I couldn’t eat more tacos otherwise I’d explode. Can’t eat dairy so the server was very kind to bring me a candle light taco for my birthday!! Very thoughtful thing to do!

    Our server is very welcoming and attentive 10/10. There is a bit on the pricey side for the portion of food but tacos were pretty good. Calamari $14, tacos $6~/each, House Cerveza $8.5, WAP:margarita $14

    Food was amazing and worth the price. Tasty Tofu Tacos for vegetarian options. Unwelcoming staff though. Not so friendly. Won't give it a try for a second visit. Of course nobody wants to be treated unwanted at least at restaurants.

  • 3/5 Catherine C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lively spot for drinks and tacos. Great service. However, I was not too impressed with the food. The calamari was lukewarm when it was served to us. The baja wings were way too acidic, and tasted like the outside of a sour candy. The wings themselves are also quite small. The tacos were decent, would recommend the beef. The fried fish in the fish taco was a bit dry and over cooked though, a bit disappointing.

    Tried this Mexican with my wife after walking past many times and wanting to go here! It was great, food was very very good, up market Mexican is what I'd say it is. I got the Tamales to start and they were great, different from Tamales I've had before and not so traditional but very tasty, wish there was more. Wife got Holy Frijoles - pretty good bean dip with some tortilla chips. Tacos - I got the Chicharron and Achiote Chicken. The Chicharron was a little disappointing, needed a sauce and the meat was a tad dry but good taste. Chicken was much better and my favourite, really good. Wife got 2x Oyster Mushroom which were really great. Overall we'd definitely come back but I'd try something different. Our only complaint really was that it's a little pricey - around $6 for 1 taco! But you get what you pay for, high quality. Would give 5 stars but think 4 is fair based on price/value for money.

    Food SO good you just don’t want to stop eating! Fresh, flavourful, satisfying. We are on the patio, enjoying the street vibes. Service was quick, servers were kind & helpful. See you again soon.

  • 5/5 Andrew F. 1 year ago on Google
    The tacos here are some of the best I've ever had. All meats were delicious, especially the beef. I would highly recommend trying one of each type of taco. The drinks and service are also excellent, and the atmosphere is really cool. Really awesome place to eat and hang out.
