Best Mexican restaurant in Canada

w	weibetter on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ AN UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT. I've always loved this restaurant because of the amazing food and vibe. But recent the food quality has become so shockingly Unacceptable. We ordered the most famous and popular dish: octopus and it was SO SMALL and OVERCOOKED, totally not up to standard to the price charged and the restaurant. We showed the picture to many of our friends who has had the octopus before and they all laughed and said WHAT IS THAT. We told the waiter and told him why the octopus look so small and over cooked, compared to every photo on IG, and he said this is normal. We also ordered the 16oz steak, medium rare, and when it came it was fully cooked, tasted like beef jerky, compared to the other times I've came which was juicy and amazing. Not sure if they changed chef or is trying to cut down the cost, but it was a disappointing and horrible experience.
m	m ! on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ cool and cozy spot, great service and delicious food! everything was fresh and very flavourful. our server gave great recommendations and you can’t go wrong with the bone marrow on tacos? will be back again!
W	W Lyons on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came here for a work dinner as a table of 4. It's a trendy, intimate and more upscale Mexican restaurant. I ordered the bone marrow tacos which were so delicious and came with a really generous portion of bone marrow. Though there were just 3 tacos, they were really filling as a main. The steak in the tacos was tender and cooked to perfection. Someone else ordered the ribeye and shared a taste because the portion was huge. The ribeye was also cooked to perfection, really delicious. I would definitely order this next time! Highly recommend and will definitely return to try more of their dishes
D	Dave J J on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Update. Second visit to Ophelia and another great experience of food and drink. I did ask for a small variation from the kitchen which they wouldn't accommodate so a little more flexibility would be a bonus ( asked for a single taco in addition to my octopus as I wanted a little meat with my seafood) but a great restaurant to visit. First visit... Very impressed with all aspects of this restaurant. Creative dishes, all meals very exceptional. Tortilla Soup extremely delicious. Cocktails really nice. Prices are elevated but on par for the quality and current trend in the local industry. Ambience is great as well. I didn't see a happy hour but if they have one ever I will visit more often.
S	Sharon Cheng on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I heard lots of great reviews from people about this restaurant. I finally went there and gave it a try. The cocktails were average. Their signature dish octopus tasted soft and it didn’t have the tender texture octopus usually has. I’m not sure it was because it wasn’t fresh or it had been frozen in the freezer before cook. The chicken dish had a strong seasoning on the gravy, it wasn’t so tasty. I was a little bit disappointed about this place.
P	Prish on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food at Ophelia is top notch! Their menu has many choices but I have to say my favourites were the octopus and the tuna tostada. Everything was so fresh and the flavours were perfect. I would recommend going with a larger group so you can try more of the menu.
s	sara shams on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went to Ophelia for their weekend brunch. Although got mostly lunch like items from the menu and really enjoyed it. Servers are attentive, food is tasty (tastes more authentic than your usual Mexican restaurants) and the tables are laid out generously, there are dividers in place as well. The decoration has not changed much since “Wild Tale” days - the restaurant before this one - but they have changed the paintings on the walls to give it a more Mexican look. I would go back for dinner cause some items on the dinner menu look really good.
A	Allie H. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I’ve been craving bone marrow and was delighted to see there was a happy hour menu here. It was great to have bike stands right outside the restaurant and be sat on the patio immediately by the friendly hostess, although advised there is a time cut-off due to happy hour. We ended up just ordering from the main menu as it was all appealing. Hands down Tacos De Arracherro Y Bone Marrow was the star of the dishes. It was fantastic to be able to add additional bone marrow, which the staff kindly offered additional corn tortillas to accompany it. Our server, Peter, was above and beyond in hospitality, very kind and attentive ensuring everything was timely. The meal was just as brilliant as the service.
