“One of Halifax’s best kept secret. The only shame is that Verano isn’t open for dinner. Everything on the menu is delicious and the Mexican/Venezuelan cuisine is unique from anything else you will get in the city. My go to order is the Patacon with Braised Pork but everything on the menu is worth trying. Virtually everything can be made gluten-free as well and there are vegetarian options too!Vegetarian options: Mushroom tacos/EmpanadasDietary restrictions: Most menu items are naturally gluten-free.“

“If you go in thinking the food will be like Taco Bell, you are going to be sorely disappointed. This is NOT American food. That stuff is fake Mexican food dressed up with tonnes of cheese. Tako Loko is authentic, the real deal stuff.It doesn’t weigh your belly down and make you feel bloated after. This is really good, honest food.My wife and I are making this a regular go to place, nothing compares to it for quality, taste and atmosphere.It’s a nice and quiet small corner restaurant. So far the veggie tacos and the shrimp tacos are my two favourite so far.“

“It was our first time visiting Mexi’s at this location and we had a great experience. Adam T delivered awesome service and the food was fantastic. Prices may seem a bit high on the menu until you see how much food you get. LOTS of protein, big chunks of chicken on the nachos where some places you have to look for it. I loved how you got to choose between corn or flour tortillas for the fajitas and the taste of the chicken was super fresh. The green sauce on the nachos had a bit of heat to it and it was very good. The only suggestion I have to enhance the dining experience would be to turn the bright lights down at the bar. They were shining brightly into my eyes the whole time we were there and that wasn’t comfortable. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our night out at Mexi’s Halifax and will return soon.“

“I loved the atmosphere and how delicious everything was. It's a small venue with limited seating allowing the staff and kitchen to focus on quality food and service. I also loved how the menu was short; you knew that whatever you ordered would be delicious. The food did not disappoint, the nachos and the tacos were so tasty and generous portions! I'll be back and next time to try their bao ice cream sandwich :)“

Poutine

“If you go here looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, then you’ll be disappointed. That’s just not what they offer. What they offer is a fast, delicious, friendlily served, and budget friendly lunch in the form of burrito. Choose your base (Bombay curry or guacamole for vegetarian) and add whichever toppings you please (but don’t miss the pickled onions, they’re superb). Watch as the staff build you your enormous custom burrito. The most important part for any burrito joint is that the staff know how to role it up proper with as much filling as possible. The staff at Habaneros do just that. If this sounds good to you, then why not give it a try? They have indoor and outdoor seating as well.Note: The hot sauce is not super spicy, probably because it’s not very authentic but it’s not a dealbreaker. I would just ask for more if you’re a real spice fan.“
