Antigua Mexican Grill Algonquin

Honestly didn't have the most exciting dish on the menu. I tried the Lomo taco dinner and it was the most tender meat I've had anywhere outside of a few places in the city. The place is also just beautiful. Check them out. A little higher than your average Mexican spot but the food for sure is worth it.

We went on a Friday night, so it was REALLY busy. We put our name in for 4 people (2 adults, 2 kids) and waited. Some ladies put their name in right after us. We noticed the ladies got seated before us (4 people in their party). We weren't happy about that, so went to check what happened, and they said our table was ready. A little annoying.

Our table was warped. The tabletop was high in the middle, and low on the sides, so things had a tendency to roll off. Not the best thing for kids, and it's kinda uncomfortable in general. Not sure if ours was the only one like that, or if they're all that way.

It was SUPER loud in the restaurant! To the point that you had to shout to be heard, which only adds to the noise. This upset our youngest, so people with kids (or even adults with hearing issues) be aware of this. Go when it's not so busy.

The restaurant itself is on the second floor, and it appeared that the elevator was out of service... So wheelchairs, strollers, etc will have a tough time. The hostess stand was also on the second floor. So you have to go up to see how long you have to wait for a table. If you want to wait, there's no seating to wait, so it just clogs up with people standing at the top of the stairs. I'd suggest having the hostess stand on the ground floor with some seating for waiting.

The food was good, the drinks were great! Food prices are reasonable. Drink prices are a little high.

I'll try it again either when it's not so busy, or without kids.

Good food, good cocktails. The background noise is excessive. Acoustic treatment is definitely needed. Bright lights behind the bar and in the entry could be dimmed a bit. Other than those minor details, nice experience!

First time there! Food was great! Drinks were fantastic. The staff was super friendly! Our first time there but it will become a staple. Thank you for a lovely evening!

We have eaten here 2x, the first time in the restaurant, second time take out. Both times we had tamales, they were fantastic! We also really enjoyed the margaritas (second time got them to go!) the only thing that could improve was the guacamole, it was a little bland. So happy this restaurant is in town. Going back tonight and bringing friends.
