La Bella Managua in Toronto

Wow so delicious. One of my favourite spots in the city

I see why people rave about this place. It honestly feels like your older ancestors are cooking you a homemade meal back home. You can tell they know exactly what they re doing nothing is fancy or over the top, but at the same time you can tell it s not your ordinary meal. It s a perfect mix of authentic and rustic and sticking to the roots of what good food is all about. Would definitely recommend

Super delicious and authentic Hispanic food from Central America. Great portion sizes will definitely leave full and possibly loosening your belt a little lol. Can get a little crowded especially on Fridays and weekends since it isn t a huge place so definitely recommend calling even the day before to make a reservation. Overall, highly recommend.

Incredible food, flavors, and service! One of my favorites in the city

The best seafood chowder I ve ever had with FRESH seafood (not canned). So delicious. The carne was a bit overcooked but still really good.

First time trying Nicaraguan food. Very well served. Staff is very friendly.

The staff is great. The food is fantastic. I recommend booking early because it ends up being a full house.

Highly recommend. Been a loyal customer since 2010 and I have loved their food every time I go! Truly wholefoods cooked with love. Consistent taste and always fresh ingredients

This place is beyond amazing.

A friend invited me here for my birthday, I was craving some good Latino food, and it didnt disappoint, the food is really tasty and the portions are super generous, the service staff is also really nice and inviting, they explained everything they have to offer, and made some great recommendations. It is a really busy establishment, so if you have a big group or you are going on the weekend Id highly recommend making a reservation; and maybe because we went right when they opened and because half the place was already reserved I didnt feel a super warming atmosphere, but everything else was so good we didnt really care. Dietary restrictions: I am deadly allergic to hot peppers and they were super accommodating about that, and made sure I was confident eating my dish, I really appreciate that!

Tons of dishes I had never tried before. The fish of the day was delicious

Food tasty and plentiful, good value for 4 people. Small restaurant, fresh food and busy. Excellent service. Parking: Green P - lot # 104. This parking is back of restaurant and across from TTC, Ossington subway.

Delicious, authentic food with a warm ambience and lovely staff.

This restaurant cancelled my reservation an hour before my scheduled dining time due to a lack of space. I find this utterly disrespectful and unprofessional of such a highly rated establishment. Very disappointed as reservations should be prioritized and deemed more important than walk ins. My only advice is to call 10 times before you make the trip to drive there bc they might cancel your reservation at any second.

Amazing food, big portions, fair prices, and very attentive service. Highly highly recommended

They. Lied to me About waiting for my order but they take forever

Absolutely amazing food! Our favorite was the pollo jalapeno. Service was also excellent - very nice servers. Will definitely be coming back!

Best ceviche in Toronto hands down, been here twice and everything was 5 stars. Make a reservation

This is the restaurant where my good friend and I rekindled our friendship. Its been 4 years and I still think fondly of this restaurant. I had the special of the day, a deep fried fish with some sauteed tomatoes. Wish I remember what it was called but it was delectable and I will definitely be coming back!

The only place we go for dinner!

La Bella Managua has the BEST carne asada we have ever tried! We are from Nicaragua and were visiting Toronto and decided to try this restaurant because many of our friends had recommended to eat here. We were pleasantly surprised and delighted to taste the amazing flavours that came out of this dish! Special thanks to Don Jesus for his special treatment to us (Tres Leches dessert, Rosquillas and Queso Chontaleño). Many blessings coming from Matias and Veronica!!

Got takeout for the first time! Such cute warm vibes place! I love the plantain chips!

I love coming here, wonderful Nicaraguan food, always great service

Excellent authentic cuisine and fantastic atmosphere! They took amazing care of our large party right at open.

Phenomenal.

Was there for my friend bday; so her choice , but I will not be back. It is not a pretty place to go and the food presentation not good, also, I considered expensive for what is offered. But Marguerita was delicious

La Bella Managua on Bloor Street West is a cozy spot for authentic Nicaraguan cuisine. Known for dishes like carne asada and ceviche, it delivers rich flavors and generous portions. The service is friendly, and while the decor is simple, the food shines. A must-visit for a taste of Nicaragua in Toronto.

Food was super great. I ordered the chicken with jalapeño sauce. It was creamy and delicious. As for the service, it was subpar. Wait staff were super friendly and we got our order pretty fast. 100 percent id recommend to friends and family

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options, my favourite is the Bandeja Típica, that comes with white rice, black beans, fried sweet plantains, fried cheese, and salad Food

By far the best restaurant in Toronto, not expensive, well served, food always well seasoned, small space but very cozy

ordered uber eats on a Sunday for my family and I was three meals in total the oxtail soup, chicken and beef when we tasted the food it was horrible! the rice with beans tasted like it was made over a week ago and the beef was so tough and hard we couldn t even chew it not to mention the burnt chicken breast and the avocado salad that had brown avocado in it .waste of money!

It is a little piece of Nicaragua. All their dishes are delicious. The attention is exceptional and the atmosphere is familiar. We ordered a typical tray each and a nacatamal. Everything divine.

What a great surprise to find in Toronto the restaurant La bella Managua, which would rather be La bella Nicaragua, with a tour of the most characteristic dishes of our country. Well served by a dedicated staff led by the multi-award-winning Don Jesús Morales. This restaurant is recommended for Nicaraguans and other nationalities who know the renowned Nicaraguan dishes. Success to this restaurant

Great food. Didnt know about Nicaraguan food before, but it was such a good surprise.

The place was full, which is usually a good sign. We thought the service would be slow with the volume of people there, but that wasn t the case. Service was fast and the food was excellent.

Great Latin food at this place. Conveniently located and well served. Parking: There s both paid and free street parking in the surrounding area

Legendary place with amazing food my family and I have been coming for years on special occasions

I want to congratulate the restaurant for its atmosphere food but above all things to the team, I went to dinner at about 6PM on Thursday, October 10 and the team was super attentive and friendly and above all polite, there was even an uncomfortable situation that happened to a waitress with a delivery man and the waitress knew how to handle the situation excellently and did not leave her kindness, Congratulations.

Excellent !

The food was fresh and tasty! The staff were friendly and helpful. Very good experience, I will be back!

Great food, great cocktails, great service and a fun local atmosphere. The whole fish is incredible! Book ahead, as it seems I was the only person who thought it was a hidden gem.

Great Nica food!! Recommended Parking: The parking spaces are very small.

Very nice vibes, looked like being in another country for one moment. We all tried different meals and they were all tasty and in a very good portion. Definitely coming back!

The server was friendly & helpful; her recommendations were perfect. Definitely coming back and bringing friends to enjoy the food

Ive yet to have a bad meal here. Avocado salad is amazing and the Tamarind juice is a must drink on a hot day. As far as serving goes, servers are very friendly. With the few times Ive gone here, the two seater tables are tiny, and servers will always find some excuse to not give a larger table. E.g. Tables are reserved even though those same tables are never filled during the entire time. This then stops me from ordering more.

Amazing food, staff and environment. Recommend the fried sea bass, ceviche and guava martini Vegetarian options: Many options Dietary restrictions: Variety

Delicious authentic food!!! Good serving size dishes. Everything I have tried has tasted delicious. Make a reservation, its get really busy! You wont be disappointed!

Delicious food and awesome service. You have to try the guava margarita!

Truly a restaurant like no other in variety of cuisine that is beautifully presented at a great price. La Bella Managua is always filled with lively young and diverse customers who know their food. The grilled fish and special tacos are beyond good. You will be blown away with this Bloor Street jewel and its welcoming staff and owner Jesus.

Here you ll taste the real Latin American flavor! Omg their soup, sweet plantains and the shrimps took me back to my home country!

You should expect fast food type of setting. Went there expecting more, so could be an unfair expectation. We were there for dinner. From sitting down to leaving the restaurant, was 1 hour, so we were being efficient. However after ordered desserts, the waitress handed us the bill and passed the credit card machine, including to input tips, before bringing the dessert. First time for this experience at a sit-down restaurant. I can t help but wonder, after I paid the food, the desserts, and the 20% tips - what if the desserts don t show up, or what if we don t like the desserts, or what if the service at that time was not good I am down for being efficient and understand this restaurant is popular My suggestion for a sit down restaurant, is to still think for each customer and their experience, before rushing them out

Too bad we wanted to try this restaurant but we went there at 8:45 pm they said their kitchen was closed already but the restaurant closed at 10 pm I thought 1 hour was enough to serve us food :)

Cannot recommend this place enough, run don t walk over!!! The staff are so friendly, quick with service and happy to explain the various menu options. Lots of vegetarian options as well! No wonder chefs around the city are recommending La Bella Managua. Cheers to the team!

very rich

This is my go to post for a hearty but healthy meal near Bloor and ossington. Service is very quick and efficient. I like to dine in and order take out from here. The ceviche and pollo a la parrilla is my go to order!

The food was absolutely delicious!! And the service was super nice as well, everyone is so generous and would us good recommendations.

Best food and service in the CITY. Strongly recommend. Berenice should work at the White House

During my vacation in Canada I was dying for exquisite Latin food, and La Bella Managua exceeded all my expectations. Highly recommended!!!

My favourite restaurant in the city.

First experience with Nicaraguan cuisine, and it did not disappoint! The menu offered a wide variety of dishes - we opted for the tacos, grilled chicken, and carne asada which were delicious. While the beef was overcooked, it was still very flavourful. The staff was accommodating at first, though clearly rushed due to the busy atmosphere. We felt pressured to leave when the bill was given immediately after we finished eating. The food was outstanding, but the dining experience felt unwelcoming.

The ingredients were fresh, the dishes tasty and good portions. As a Latino, I can say this is so authentic and delicious!

Great food and service, well worth the visit

Fantastic flavor, good price, and great taste! I m from Nicaragua, and the food here tastes like home!

Omg! Everything was terrific, especially the fish of the day! Great food and service!

Excellent food, service and at a reasonable price. Will definitely return!

The food was amazing and my waitress was super sweet. Definitely a hidden gem

The owners of the place are super friendly, the staff is always attentive, the taste of their dishes is super excellent, the place is small from a good point of view due to the number of customers who frequent the restaurant. I have been visiting the place for many years and it can be said that it is one of the few Latin food restaurants that I would personally recommend without thinking. EVERYTHING VERY EXCELLENT. Did not rate 5 stars to leave room for improvement

The food was OK, the meat was very hard chewed, very noise inside.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Will definitely be back!

5 stars all across ! Very fresh tasting food ! My fish was amazing and they avacado salad ! My friend ordered the carne asada the rice was so delicious and beef as well ! I also had some tacos one of the most unique best tasting tacos ever ! Outstanding the customer service was exceptional and I love experiencing different cultures so to have this food was so delicious it makes me Want to go to Nicaragua ! The staff very clean and orderly they were busy but working well and doing a great job and I love love love the atmosphere it was very cultural vibe it is a authentic Nicaraguan restaurant coconut flan out of this world

A Disastrous Dining Experience at La Bella Managua La Bella Managua, once a cherished spot for me, has left a bad taste in my mouth based on our recent visit, a cataclysmic departure from any previous positive experiences. From the moment we stepped through the door, it was evident that something was amiss. Despite the restaurant being busy, a fifteen-minute wait turned into an agonizing ordeal, only rectified by our proactive intervention. Once seated, our order was met with indifference. A simple request for additional utensils for our shared soup was met with outright refusal and a baffling suggestion of extra charges. It s disheartening to witness such a blatant disregard for customer needs. The service was rushed and impersonal, with plates snatched away before wed finished our meals. The audacity to clear away an unfinished drink, including its contents, is simply beyond comprehension. To add insult to injury, a waitress s carelessness resulted in her tray being spilled on me. It s evident that La Bella Managua has forgotten the essence of hospitality. The once magical ambiance has been replaced by a rushed and impersonal dining environment. We are heartbroken to bid farewell to a place we once loved, but this experience has irrevocably damaged our perception of the restaurant. It s clear that patron loyalty is taken for granted, and it s time for La Bella Managua to remember that customers are the lifeblood of any business.

Interesting Nicaraguan food in the Bloorcourt area of the city. Ordered the mahi mahi fish and shrimp dish, both were quite tasty and filling. The other items on the menu look interesting enough and would be interested in trying them on a different day.

One of my new fav places to eat. Everything we had was delicious. Basic food but amazingly prepared and executed. Staff amazing and a cool local atmosphere

Ive been meaning to try this place for a while now. I cant believe theyve been under my nose for this long and I only recently discovered them. Food is delicious and at great price points. Everything was so good. Will be coming back asap. Dietary restrictions: I have allergies to nuts, sesame, poppy, shellfish and am gluten and dairy free. They were able to accommodate all.

We usually do takeout from here and it s always always amazing. The food is delicious. Grateful to have this spot in our neighborhood.

Awesome restaurant! The staff is really friendly, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the food... The food is amazing! We had Carne Asada, fish of the day (Sea Bass) and Camarones A La Sabana. Every single dish was delicious as hell. The meal sizes were pretty big, lots of veggies, delicious rice and their house sauce! Definitely recommend you try out this place, you wont be disappointed!

First time trying Nicaraguan dishes. Everything was fresh and well cooked. Really enjoyed the ceviche and seafood. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Only wish it was a bit brighter as it s harder for us older folks to read the menu.

Very delicious food but portions could be a little larger

I am Nicaraguan. Last year we went with my family. Everything was perfect. Lets go back and my favorite is cola soup. Order the large cup. It had a little piece of cola, a little piece of cassava and carrot. I said nothing. My husband ordered the churrasco. I couldnt cut it. The manager came to the table and what a hateful lady snatched my husbands plate away, without apologizing. It was an unpleasant experience. We paid and left. I will never go back. God bless you all.

The truth is they should improve customer service. On Thursday I went in with a friend and our scooters and upon entering we asked if there was a problem and since the restaurant was empty they said no. Then a waitress looked like it started to fill up, started making us uncomfortable and took everything away as we placed it on the table, and then started telling us that scooters were not allowed and that this and that. Cm I told him if they are not allowed xk he didnt say this before when we asked xk now. Just improve your customer service. Because they let us consume and once we ordered they wanted to take us out. If they have so many rules, lets just say before we consume and leave, but dont take money and then make people feel bad. I hope I never come back again.

Amazing people and super friendly. They care and want to make it right all the time. Clean and nice atmosphere.

Authentic and honest. Always take my family here when they are in town. Food

This is a small place . It has great service,the people are always there to help you making sure you are comfortable. The food is really good. Great place to try something new. Food

The tastiest food in Toronto. Clean, and nice staff. Great menus. Ask for the specials. Specials are not on the menu. Food

Mmmmmmm sooooo good! Some of the best food I ve had in Toronto for real

Solid. Great value for dollar. I love eating clean and this is exactly what I am looking for after the gym. Good job

Always a great experience when I come to Toronto and visit La Bella Managua. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Feels like i m right back home in Nicaragua. Carne Asada is my go to and it s DELICIOUS!!

I love it here. The food is so delicious, portions are more than normal, and size, delicious, and the service is top-notch. Pricing is great also. Its a must try.

Worth checking out! Good food! Good price!

This is a cute restaurant with a nicely designed interior and friendly staff. Service is prompt and polite. I ordered a carne asada and found that the meat was good quality and juicy but overall the rest of the dish lacked flavor. I dont believe the price charged which is $21 is worth the price given the portions provided.

La Bella Managua a Nicaraguan restaurant. The food is authentic. The waiter told us that she is Nicaraguan, a plus! They have in the menu a Cacao (Cocoa) drink with milk that you must try, in Spanish is: fresco de cacao . Also they offer a national beer if you want to try it, and cocktails with a national rum. The space is surrounded by Nicaraguan pictures or artisan works (artesanía). The food portions are generous.

This is hands down one of my favourite places to eat. The food has always been fresh and tasty. I missed lunch purposely today to leave room for my much anticipated meal. After eating and feeling quite content, I made an effort to leave some food behind for lunch the next day. I asked for a take out container and specifically requested a little sauce container for my yummy dipping garnishment sauce as I still had a good amount of on the table. To my surprise and astonishment I was told I had to pay for the baby container. I questioned why I had to pay for an empty container, I was advised that I could not be provided with a take out container for my leftover sauce. She stated I could pay for a container of fresh sauce. I attempted to clarify I have to pay for the sauce I already paid for? She clarified for me alright that I did not purchase any sauce. It was as offered with the meal and if I had wanted it to take home with my chicken, rice and plantain I would have to pay. Instantly, I felt annoyed, disrespected as a customer after spending over $65.00. I was left speechless literally and she made sure she gave me a big smile and wished me a great evening. I left thinking it would be a long time before I would return there again. This staff member could have easily provided me with the garnishment container this time and advised me of any policy changes moving forward. I had been provided with this garnishment container several times before. Update: I had requested a call back from the owner. He returned my call and listened to my complaint. He apologized for what happened and stated he understood my concern and advised that he would speak to staff. They earned back some stars. I will return now.

Phenomenal food. We only ever get take out, so I can t speak to the service or atmosphere, but the food is my favourite for take out in Toronto! Excellent.

I really liked the restaurant. The food was very tasty and the portions were generous. The staff is friendly and we got our orders quickly.

The food here tastes really delicious and is well made. Nice food presentation and interior decor. Taking off 1 star because the prices are a little high and customer service could be better. The waitress was very robotic, didnt really smile and seemed to be reciting lines at us instead of speaking naturally.

Great food, good price, friendly service.

Take my money, and give me that food. The ceviche is goooooood. Steak and plantain and omg everything else. Please. Keep up the good work. Fish good too.

Delicious healthy amazing food. One of the best restaurants in Bloorcourt Village. The Pollo Jalapeño with Gallo Pinto is their best dish. The sea bass with jalapeño sauce is pretty good as well. Would 100% recommend.

Great Latin food.

my family and i decided to check this place out after a morning of enjoying the cherry blossoms at high park. we were seated towards the back of the restaurant in a cozy corner, where we first enjoyed the delicious nicatizer appetizer. later, our mains arrived: and they were all scrumptious. the highlights were definitely the fish of the day (which happened to be fried bass) and the pollo jalapeño (which was perfectly balanced in flavour and kick). both plantain preparations, soft and fried, were perfectly-cooked and flavourful. my SOLE gripe would be that the desserts (not pictured, but very yummy) were a bit over-priced for their small size. other than that, perfect experience!

Tried the Bistec encebollado which was amazing!! The drinks are good too. Definitely coming back again

Good service, delicious food, cocoa, I give it a...10 .

We walked in on a Friday night to a full house with low hopes of getting a table but the staff was able to accommodate us and provide us exceptional service. Despite the volume, we got perfectly cooked and delicious food promptly. Prices and portions cant be beat!

Ordered takeout for the first time from here and can t believe how delicious everything was. The ceviche with plantain chips, avocado salad, carne asada, and grilled chicken breast. The fried plantain was incredible too. When I went to go pick up, the restaurant was packed, which is always a good sign. Absolutely love this place, highly recommended and will 100% return.

Delicious food

Really unique flavours, the pollo jalapeño was great and the beans/rice are great.

My husband and I have been to this restaurant twice. The first time was in July 2023, the food was great. Service is always wonderful but we went again on April 30, 2024 and we got food poisoning. Unfortunately, well never return after this experience.

It was alright

Loved it sm!

Very beautiful place, the lamb that I ordered was cooked to the best point as were the vegetables, I recommend it

Pollo a la parrilla is incredible! Avocado salad and plantains are amazing as well!

Best food in the area

Every time it s magical !!! Love it !!

Small & busy but this food was excellent. Great portions too.

Disappointing Experience: Rushed Service , Poor Hospitality, and decline in food quality. My recent visit to La Bella Managua left much to be desired. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that something had changed. The once-impeccable dishes now lacked the freshness and flavour that initially drew me to the restaurant. Overcooked meats and smaller portions. It felt like we were being rushed through our meal. Despite being paying customers, the staff seemed more focused on turning tables than providing quality service. Throughout the evening, there were several instances where we felt neglected. Furthermore, as we were finishing our meal, we were subtly pressured to leave, with staff members hovering nearby and clearing our plates before we had even finished eating. This made us feel incredibly uncomfortable and unwelcome. Overall, the rushed service and lack of hospitality greatly detracted from what could have been an enjoyable dining experience. I hope that takes this feedback seriously and works towards improving their customer service in the future.

Food is delicious, abit pricey but it s worth the quality of food you get. Started with oxtail soup, simple clean delightful. Fried cheese and plantain side/app was good but the main churasco steak was big heavy and grilled to perfection. Rice and beans very favourful and the chimmichurri sauce was to die for when paired with the red meat. Will be back.

Ordered lunch for 10 people & everyone loved it! Best Nicaraguan food in town. Still the best in 2024 Food

Chicken, Fish, Shrimps, and Meat were delicious. Staff were very warm and welcoming. We loved the place and will definitely go again.

My only complaint is why there isnt another branch...I love their food; the prices and service are excellent. Highly recommended.

Came for dinner here with some friends, Booking ahead was a bliss. The restaurant has some amazing dishes both meat and sea food wise. Decent Vegetarian options as well. Best part is how they make you feel at home with their service 10/10 on that.

Siempre me transporta a mi pais Always a good taste, authentic and delicious. Food

make sure you reserve before going, the avocado salad is delicious

They have the best tres leche cake in gta and delicious food. Unfortunately the customer service not so good , they has rush us to eat quickly and leave even with kids at the table and it s kind rude. Hopefully they will improve. Food : 5/5

We were asked to leave our table before we were completely finished. I was still drinking my beer, my friend still had his water, which was taken off the table before asking if he was finished. Our waitress came up and told us a couple was waiting for our table and basically, to leave (even though we were told there would be a wait for a table when we first arrived, and a couple was sitting at a table, bill paid and was still able to stay and chat while we were standing for a table. They were not asked to leave). A 2nd waitress came by and told us the same thing, I told her I was still drinking my beer and could not drink any faster and she offered to relocate us to another table, which makes no sense and we declined. We were not told that we would have to vacate at a certain time pending reservations, AND, prior to being told to leave, we were offered a dessert menu intimating that there was still time to stay. We have been dine in and take out customers for years and this was a disappointing experience. We have never been treated like this before. I saw the owner tonight and wish I raised this with him.

Great and amazing restaurant featuring delicious Nicaraguan food!! Had the Carne Asada as a main but also tried the Oxtail soup and Calamari. The margaritas were great too!! Definitely will be back!

Ok so food is amazing, not talking bad about that. BUT went to grab a table on a Saturday night. Totally understand there s a wait time HOWEVER didn t expect to be treated like a dog & kicked out of the restaurant to wait outside. You must have a better way of treating walk in customers. Sorry just finished a full day of work, just wanted a home made meal, didn t realize reservations get treated much better than a walk in customer. Although the food was amazing, just terribly shocked about the service & the treatment. The waitresses that work here need to learn some customer service. Would rather go to the Australian restaurant, Electric Bill next door next time I m in the area. Got treated like a paying customer there. Very disappointed. Will I go back?! Maybe, when I get the bad taste out of my mouth.

Had a delightful dinner with friends at La Bella Managua, exploring Nicaraguan cuisine. The freshness and tastiness of the food, coupled with generous portions and super friendly staff, made for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend, as it seems you cant go wrong with any dish on the menu!

We enjoyed dinner here. The portions are good and the prices are fair. The mashed potatoes from the churrasco were delicious.

Love La Bella Managua - really comforting nicaraguan food with the most amazing hot sauce ive ever had

Excellent roast beef, I really liked it,

Place was rockin and full on a Saturday night. Reserve online a table to avoid disappointment. For apps we had: Nicatizer - mixed platter with plantains and fried cheese (fed 3 easily; salsa picante was amazingly tangy; put it on the rice of my main) Yuccanadas - empanadas with cheese Our mains: Carna asada - beef with rice & beans; beef was tender and well-seasoned Fish of the day - sea bass with rice avocado salad and avocado slices; fish was fresh and delicious Nacatamal - huge Nicaraguan tamale with pork wrapped in a banana leaf All mains were tasty and portions were huge. We squeezed in desserts: Three milk cake Coconut flan Drinks were great too: Tamarind drink was tasty & you can order a jug of it. Also had a marguerita. Service was fast and friendly. Big Green P parking lot right behind the restaurant. This place is what dreams are made of.

The chicken was really tender, and the creamy sauce was deliciously savory. The salads were fresh, and the rice was nicely seasoned. Everything tasted great together!

Food was outstanding. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Delisioso - beautiful, tender fish, extraordinarily tasty,avocado, salad, perfect tostones.

I got the carne asada w side of avocado salad. Great meal for great price

We had a reservation at 7:30 and arrived on time. They let 3 tables of 2 people sit down who also had 7:30 reservations but arrived later than us. They kept us waiting for 20 minutes then ignored us. Lack of respect and horrible service. If you try to reserve with them, don t. This has been the worst restaurant experience I ve had in Toronto so far. DO NOT BOOK ONLINE.

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing room

Great food! I had the Carne Asada - with the fried cheese. It was awesome. Others had the fish of-the-day, and really liked it. I highly recommend this place. Vegetarian options: The vegetarian option looked fresh and full of variety.

We had a wonderful time here. The food was excellent! I had the Bisteck Encebollado which was flavour full, my girlfriend had Pollo a la Parrila and her mom the Sea Bass, both were awesome. Our server was Alejandra and she was extremely attentive and nice. Will surely come again!

We always love this place. It was quite busy, but they managed beautifully. Vegetarian options: I had the vegetarian Plato tipico and it was perfect. Food : 5/5 |

The truth is, for me it is the best Latin restaurant in Toronto. The food is delicious. The service is the same. I have been using the restaurant for many years and its seasoning is still unique and good. I can recommend it without hesitation. La Bella Managua is #1

Great food

The food is crack cocaine, that s it, that s all. You re welcome.

Nice place to dine.

Wow, what an experience! Berenese was so incredibly rude! Why work at a restaurant if you hate people? We will definitely be avoiding this place.

Good food overall. Family style cooking.

SO GOOD!

Ive been to this place multiple times, never fails to disappoint. Food is tasty, portions are good for the price. Service was excellent! Theyre very informative, welcoming, and always ready to answer anything. It became really busy soon after we arrived, within an hour the entire place was full. Reservations are suggested if you plan on going during lunch on the weekend. Its a definite recommend in my books.

Amazing!! I love this place.....

Good portion sizes. Food was delicious. Ordered this through Uber. Food was cooked perfectly and tasted very close to our Nicaraguan families cooking! I will definitely be ordering/visiting again!

Their sea bass dish and avocado salad are my go-tos. Took a star away because I found all their other main dishes pretty mediocre and bland.

Great Valentines Dinner last night.

Excellent food, excellent service. For people who eat in large quantities it is a good place. Apart from the calamari we ordered as a starter, we also had the fish of the day, and churrasco (we forgot to take a picture).

For sure one of the best in Toronto. I wish it was closer to me so I could frequent it more

Tried this restaurant for the first time and I understand how its managed to stay in business for 19+ years. Our group tried a variety of dishes. The daily special (deep fried whole fish) was the best one. The fish was succulent and had a light taste, despite being deep fried. The grilled chicken was tender and lightly seasoned. I would have preferred a little more flavour for this main course. If you order one of the beef/steak mains, be sure to tell the staff how you want your course prepared - the default is well done. Everyone was pleased with the calamari and ceviches appetizers. The ceviche was particularly noteworthy because it had all of the flavour without being overly marinated. What I loved most about my meal, though, were the sides that came with the main course. Often, restaurants will add in a few veggies or place the main on top of a carb and these items wont be anything special, theyre just meant to decorate the plate and may look pretty but dont taste very good. That is not the case with La Bella Managua! I tried the rice & beans, plaintain (both fried and chips), avocado salad and cabbage salad. All were delicious! The avocado salad was bursting with flavor from the bell peppers, onions and avocado. I thought cabbage salad was a fancy way of saying cole slaw but the delicate seasonings used are much tastier than the mayo (or vinegar) often used in coleslaw, this salad truly belongs in a class of its own! Due to the generous portions of sides given, the meal is well balanced nutritionally. The amount of food given also makes the price for main courses reasonable and affordable. For smaller appetities, a main course could be enough for 2 meals. Service was reasonable, given how busy the restaurant is. Note that the restaurant will automatically add gratuity to bills for large groups. Although the restaurant is able to accommodate large groups, the space is more conducive for smaller groups. Wheelchair accessibility: Washrooms located in basement, accessible only by stairs.

Delicious food and good service. I got the chicken with beans, rice and a guacamole type mixture and my husband got the carne asada dish which he loved. The food came out quickly and the service was friendly. Will definitely be back!

Amazing food, very tasty and seasoned properly, 10 out of 10 quality food!!! Fair prices and large portions. Waitresses/service was very friendly and helpful! Food came out very quickly after ordering, and was fresh. Cute Nicaraguan restaurant with decorations that show the history of Nicaragua! I have no negative feedback, it was a great experience, and I will be back for sure! My only suggestion would be to open a larger location as you guys are very busy, lots of customers love to come to you! thanks for the great time

Food was well portioned for the price, it can feed someone hungry for about $25-$30 depending on what you get Taste was good, nothing exceptional but you get a lot of different flavors. It strange because I would come again, but Im not dying to come back nor would I recommend this place

Great fish and atmosphere...sometimes fish can be a bit oily. Gallo pinto is pricy (as a meal) if you dont want white rice bcz they bill you for the white rice with the meal which you dont get and then charge you for the gallo pinto separately as a side. Try make a reservation ahead as they are most always busy.
