Great place, people are friendly and the food is amazing. I love it
Good food and service but very expensive.
Amazing family business!! Love the family and staff the Mexican waitress is super sweet always with a beautiful smile on her face along with Mariana and all other waitress/servers. The food is absolutely my favourite I always get chivito and my fav desert is flan! This is a place I always want to go to and is so much like sitting in la pasiva in uruguay😍 miss you guys and wish you all the very best!!💖
Very friendly lady was very helpful in making my selection for the first time eating at this Uruguayan staple I had the chivito and ham and cheese empanada.
Real Uruguayan taste! Food is amazing, good quality and big servings. Service is fast. Prices are really good!
I know this place since it open new. Is no longer the same. The owners have let it run down. The staff have been rotated. The diner is closed. Only take out now. Hours diminish to no service past 6pm on weekdays and barely open on weekends. The food, well is so blend now. Meat very chewy and fries very soguey. Prices have gone way up not even their menu print keeps up. I was served blind with the shock bill at the end. I can no longer recommend this place.
The majority of reviews seem to be from Uruguayans which is why they have such high reviews. The place is not bad but certainly not the greatest, I am convinced they sell foods that they should not be, by that I mean that is past the due date or made several days before. Realistically the place is worth three stars.
This place cake highly recommended by a dear friend and she was the one who took us there first time. It lived up to the expectations. I had Chicken Chivito which was just awsome. The side order of fries was a bit disappointing ( a few cold/soggy) fries but i am sure it was an isolated incident.
Amazing pastries and Uruguayan food!
When the owner is there, the experience becomes amazing !!! Empanadas are tasty and the bread is delicious as well.
Food delicious Thank you!
Food here is so delicious, milanesas is my favourite of all.
Always a great place to eat.
this place is never open..........
Very rich. There are no more tables just for takeaways. Chivito, very rich Neapolitan Milanessa. Very Rich Mozarella.
Amazing family restaurant, great food, service and family environment
Good food as usual
Great food, great prices
Used to live close by, with a lovely Uruguayan family. They invited me to this restaurant once, and didn t stop going after! It s just delicious! Milanesa I don t move in the area any longer, but would love to go back!
Very good service and very good food, I recommend it
Amazing food !!!!! Ill be coming back
Food is great. However, i was disappointed when i showed up the other day at 820 and they were closed, even though hours are until 9 :(:( </3
Great value for money.
Great food and atmosphere . Please do try el chivito to al Plato . Can t go wrong
Excellent service, food is delicious! Specially when you feel home sick and you need a Lomito!!!
I have been going here for over 10 years, and I will keep going until I die. The traditional Chivito and Chivito Canadiense are the apex of comfort food. Juicy, thin sliced steak, with ham, cheese and fried egg on top, on top of fries, and with potato salad and palm hearts? Yeah, definitely worth the trip. And the Pizza Mozzarella is unbelievably good. Its just a very nice dough, with robustly flavorful tomato sauce and fresh, stretchy cheese. Just talking about it makes me want to go right now. The owners are very warm as well, it s a comfortable place to be in. Extremely recommended.
Great value and great food
Love this place. Delicious food. Always a pleasure to visit.
Amazing place with Amazing quality food. Have been going here for 10+ years for some amazing Uruguayan food and service. Staff is very friendly. would highly recommend.
wonderful, very tasty food, very good service
Excellent place and good customer service which is the best
It s really delicious! It s like eating in Uruguay! We tasted el Chivito, la Milanesa napolita and el Faina! Everything was incredibly good! It felt like home! Very fast service!! We had free entry which was excellent! . . . Delicious! Fue come comer to Uruguay!!!! The chivito, the Naples Milanese and the faina are spectacular!!! Although good service, we have a delicious free entry!
We had the chivitos, really good flavour. They are a bit smaller than the ones from Uruguay but still good. Their desserts, chajá and principe humberto, were really good and good value!
Service is good, food is delicious and good portions. Also pretty quick. What else can I say?!
Huge tasty portions and great service
Good
For the best Rio Platense foods... Visit La Pasiva. Uruguayan chivitos. Pizza with Fina... For those that do not know what FINA is.. a must try... (Cheekpea dough type pizza).... Joe Ingino Oshawa/Durham Central Newspaper
Very good service. Steak was a little dry, didn t like the potato salad. Empanadas were cold but good flavour.
Awesome sandwiches and Uruguayan flavours
Great food and service
Ham and cheese melts from the breakfast menu were wonderful and served with a friendly smile.
Buenisimo!! Real uruguayan experience. Amazing food just like if u were in this small south American country. If u feeling nostalgic go. If u love cheese meat go. Sweet desserts go! Family owned and operated. Riquisimo bo! Vamo arriba carajo!
Best in the city. Chivito canadiense or Milanesa pasiva
I am Latin and I have been eating there for years and even though the owner is a little unfriendly, I am not interested, there is no one who makes a complete Milanese like her, plus I go for her food and the prices are very good..
excelent service! great food good for brakefast !!
I love this Uruguayan Restaurant.. food is exellent and prices are very reasonable for a high quality of service and food preparation and an exellent variety of Uruguayan delicious plates!!! I always go back to La Pasiva and I highly recomend it to any one that loves high quality and delicious food. La Pasiva
Small restaurant, food is good but the service needs improvement.
Horrible food and Horrible Service! Not worth the travel here..
The food and service were amazing!
Excellent no-frills Uruguayan restaurant
Small space, but amazing food!!!
Great and tasty food!.
Only 3 stars as you had to sit yourself. You had to wave someone down to come take your order. The meal took especially long time to be made although the food is delicious. All these little things take away from the experience If I were to go next time I would order to go or I would call ahead just to not have to wait.
Good food faire price, the place is not fancy but you will not find that type of food around I can assure you.
Good Needs more variety of plates Friendly staff
The owner will ruin your entire experience stay far from that horrible place !
That fat owner is very RUDE and RACIST i took my sister in law (who is muslim) and she made her pay for something she didnt ask .. TERRIBLE COSTUMER SERVICE!!
Amazing authentic food
Awesome little Uruguyan restaurant! Closest youll get to the real thing in the city (that Im aware of). The food options are similar to La Pasiva in Uruguay. The decor is interesting, but it really made me feel cozy and in a warm place instead of in the middle of a snowstorm. Service was pleasant. Connected to a Uruguayan bakery (owned by the same owners) so you can take some delicious desserts home with you after your meal. Will be going back!
I had the chivito and loved it here ! Great place to visit, highly recommend!
The food the vibe all the reasons in the world to get an amazing Uruguayan meal @ great prices!
The food is tasty and the customer service is very good!!!
Good Uruguayan food. Place needs a makeover for a long time. But i guess the owners dont care about that. They trust the good food that keeps people coming back. Customer servise is a bit ruff but like i said the food is warth it. Dont spect lots from the rest. Just go for the food.
The best authentic Uruguayan food in the city, fresh delicious, succulent...... are just a few words to describe this place that I have personally been coming to since I was kid, best family owned bakery restaurant Wilson avenue has to offer.
Great food. Great people
An amazing place. Great food. Great service. Glad i drop by one day and came here.
Great food and service.
The closet you will come to Uruguay food
Good food
Amazing food
Had the La Pasiva down. The plate was full and food was delicious.
The best family restaurant I have gone! A must go
The passive milanesas are and will always be the best Uruguayan milanesas in Toronto! Ive been going to this place for 10 years and they still make them the same. I have no ties to the owners. I hope it is clear that I leave this review with my sincere opinion. Very good food!
Good place to eat Uruguayan dishes
The food was delicious and the people were very nice..
Delish! I had half the next day. And it was just as good cold out if the fridge.
Forever my favorite restaurant. Love the food, the people, their baked goods, the pizza... great memories from this place. A go to spot.
Typical Uruguayan food and lovely service. Would go again!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. I was thrilled to see it featured in Toronto Life magazine. The food is AMAZING!!!...and the service heartwarming. If you havent been please get there soon.
A great goal!
Empanadas are to die for
