Order from Uber is much cheaper. It cost twice the price when u pick it up in person. Food quality soso. Ride service. I paid 84$ for something that would have cost me 44$ in Uber eat. I do not recommended at all
I wanted to try an authentic Dominican restaurant. My husband is coming to Canada from RD and I wanted to make sure he could have a taste of home when needed. This was exactly what it is like in RD. The atmosphere, the music and the food were incredible. The waitress was polite and the owner was great. We all loved it and will be back! Xo
I've just been here once and I hope to go back. I lived in the Dominican when I was a kid and this place has really good authentic Dominican food! The fried chicken is amazing and of course the Sancocho was also great! When it gets warmer they have a patio so I hope to try it out.
Ordered on delivery app and it didn’t disappoint! The food was fresh and well presented /prepared. Highly recommend the Sosua fish platter , and fried chuleta w/plantains. The rice n beans , salad and cheese empanada were all authentic tasting. Gracias!
I've ordered food from this Dominican spot many times through the years. My favorite dishes are la Bandera, Mofongo, chicharon de pollo & el sancocho 😋
We went for lunch all the way to the other side of the city to eat Dominican food. I chose aquarela because they make my favorite beans compared to the other 4 Dominicans restaurants that I know around. I also love they offer chicken breast as I'm a picky eater. The owner is amazing he treats you like family. We ordered empanadas de queso, empanadas de res, ceviche mixto, pechuga a la plancha al limón con arroz y habichuela, mangu con queso y huevo. And obviously passion fruit. Totally recommended for lunch! Turisteaconawi.blogspot
Great place with unique dominican flavors! Ordered the stew, and was very filling. So hardy on a sunny day, and goes well with a light beer like Corona
Best Dominican food in town. As a former employee, I can attest to the kitchen being extremely clean and so much care and detail goes into each meal. Fresh food cooked daily, alcohol served and nightlife on weekends, occasional Karaoke - inquire with owner. The only place in Toronto you can get an authentic Mofongo.
Authentic Dominican cuisine. Sancocho is amazing. Go early.
Well-known Dominican spot. Must check it out whether youre in the area or specifically leave him for it.
Incredible food,
I liked the place, good service, the girl who works there is very friendly and helpful, good place to drink beer and have fun
The best micheladas in the area
Im sorry I eat my food in my house.
Nice place to chill, beautiful servers affordable food and drinks.
I love this place nice customer service
The best Dominican restaurant In Toronto
Excellent place to hang out with friends!
We celebrated my friends birthday here and we enjoyed the entire night, the owner made sure we had an amazing night and took care of us! Would definitely recommend!
Love this place for bachata and merengue!!! It s a hit or a miss with the crowd but always a great time! The staff is the BEST!!!! Not the best area but don t go alone downstairs and your good! Thanks for all the great times !! Will go back and recommend to everyone !
Very good atmosphere, music for all tastes, great variety of drinks, good prices.
Great tacos... But the owner shows more love and respect to the people who spend next to nothing though. Its weird. So we just ignore him and flirt with the waitress now lol
I went recently to this place its clean and tidy food presentation was great but small portions of habichuelas the grilled beef i asked was really hard to eat y carne guisada was salty los tostones were not refried but costumer service was good
A Mexican enjoying Dominican music, that place is very good, the bachata is simply mole
Great atmosphere and service
Very disappointed to come visit and before 11p we were told no food is being served, nothing, not even bar food music was good and staff was attentive, but if you are open until 2A it states you are serving food, that needs to be edited so people grab a bite before coming to drink.
Good music good atmosphere
Poor customer service.
Good times
The food is grey the service is top-notch, you might feel out of place if youre not of a Latino background but dont worry everything is good dont mind the guys playing dominoes in the front everyone is friendly.
The food and service are superb the la bendra is my favourite
This place is a joint, not a restaurant, food, so desgasting, and it is a food truck, not a place to be, and too many people hanging just around you better stay home and cook the owner is desgasting and do not care about nothing all those pictures and people saying good things are friends not customers, because last time I past by I seeing no body
Nice spot to unwind with fellas ! Dominican way ! Highly recommended
Terrible service, the waitresses think they are doing you a favor when serving you, the kitchen service is very slow, if you want to have a bad time, I think it will be your best option.
Family atmosphere great service delicious food and great music
Food was delicious and fresh. Vibe was nice and the waitress was amazing
Esta gente son EL FINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL!, love the food and the music at the club.
Love this spot. Food is absolutely amazing. Very friendly staff. Music and atmosphere is so upbeat. If you want to feel like you are in the Caribbean. This is the place to be. Spanish people are so warm. This will be my new hangout 100%
Nice experience
for dominican dishes is good
Food was good, but place looks more like a bar that serves food.
Great Place
good food, good service.
Very different from what we normally know
Nice costumer service
Ordered fajitas and they were terrible! They use taco corn tortillas and only one topping, the chicken!! This is not authentic at all and I paid $25 for that meal! Add 5 dollars to that and dine at the Keg. I think they should stick to Dominican food as that is what they specialize in.
Good place to eat and enjoy the disco, good Latin music.
Didnt find the stairs to get in :((((
Sammy, God bless... Best In town.. love ur food.. keep going always up.. We wish you the best always, a thousand blessings.
Okay, Im sure patio life is good...gotta speak Latino here or dont even bother going.
can;t say I hated it loved it
Tremendous food, I tried it yesterday and I loved it. Chicken, Veggies, Rice, beans, the sauce is amazing too. Very greatly suggest folks try this food out.
Just ordered from Skip the Dishes, 2 dishes, Ceviche and Salpicon de Marisco. Ceviche was very disappointing, proteins poorly and randomly cut with very large pieces. The leche de tigre was just salty lime juice, overall this cant even be called ceviche. The Salpicon was WAY too salty, I even got bits of whole salty seasoning on the clams. The fish was over cooked, and the whole dish was very poorly prepared. The best thing of the whole order were the fried plantains. Definitely not worth the money, this was not a cheap dinner.
I wanted to try this place for a long time now, but to many creepy people hanging around outside, seems like a hangout for hoods. Plus people just park right beside the exit and makes it hard to exit the driveway.
Good atmosphere!
The best in food and fun
Bad service and terrible food everything is reheated nothing is fresh I do not recommend it
It was okay, food was good, nice music
I love the chicharron de pollo,
I love
Very nice bro. If you want to be treated like a king, this is the place to be. People are all very family like to each other. The bomb bra. Not to mention the woman are all the bomb dude.. john, d
Great food. Very friendly staff.
Food was amazing and staff was very friendly
1 star doesnt cut it i was DISAPPOINTED with the food i ordered via skip the dishes; MAR & TIERRA,POLLO AL CIBAO & EMPANADAS .. the rice of both dishes were hard and it felt like i got scraps, the meat was way too salty and the empanada was also salty Overall . Never again nor would i recommend to my friends!! Word of advise, please change how to cater to the public because this is 100% not it!
Excellent place good music, but people was too boring no one dance
Good
Dominican atmosphere and menu of ours. I would go back to eat there again.
Very good Dominican food.
My favourite restaurant when I want to eat dominican food! Friendly staff, good ambiance and food
Nice, clean and popular Dominican restaurant. Aguarela restaurant with a variety of quality dishes. There is parking for cars and there is also a special parking for disabled people . The atmosphere is friendly and sociable. The workers and waiters are friendly and will always help and tell you what interests you at the moment. The cooks cook very tasty food, in a word, they are professionals in their field. There is a public toilet ... Products can be purchased to take away...
Went for dinner and drinks last night. Staff were very friendly and accommodating...we were uncertain with the dishes, and the server and the girl behind the bar both took the time to explain the different dishes. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We will definitely go back.
Was going to try this place but seeing how crowded the place was and owners obviously dont care about physical distancing. No one was wearing mask at all. Just scary picture.
Food tastes good. Service might be slow probably due to covid 19. Not a bad spot in all
Good
Food is okay. Good place to just get out and have a beer.
The best of the best
The staff doesn t even wear a mask and the food was not the best. First and last time ordering from this restaurant.
...not for me...
The best and real Latin and Dominican food in all of Toronto, Ontario, real Dominican flavor in each of its dishes and its owner always taking care of every detail all the time, they never lose quality on the contrary, getting better and better and with more quality. We recommend Acuarela Restaurant 100% .

I love this place
Food is great good proportions and prices are a lot cheaper than most latin restaurants in toronto
Excellent
Good place
Chill place to go on a sunday
Very good attention
Went buy it did not eat there
Very bad experience on December 31, 2018, we were the first to arrive at 10pm to supposedly spend New Years Eve there and the owner Samy was so rude and rude in the way he asked us to leave because the concierge had not arrived. He took us out as if we were animals. He lacks more education and professional ethics. He must learn to treat clients and if that were not enough, charging 25 for admission, not even other clubs charge that. Mr. Samy, learn to treat your clients, dont be so arrogant
Great staff. Fun night out. Would have liked one or two English songs.
Its a okay place
Very satisfying
Delicious food

Best DR Joint
Delicious and unique-to-Toronto foods! Great staff! Definitely deserves to be checked out! It is truly a hidden gem
Great food great people I love it
Bad. They make you wait outside to enter as if the place was full and when you enter it is empty!!! I waited 25 minutes to get in and had to leave early because someone other than me got into a fight and they kicked us all out. A disaster, I dont recommend it. They make u wait outside to get in even tho the place is not full. 25 min wait and I have to leave earlier because someone got into a fight. Not recommended
The place is clean. They speak Spanish and English. Latin food. Customer treatment is good.
