    Over priced for a small tacos! Taco’s missing lime and cilantro and when we told them, they made up an excuse. Service was a little slow but friendly. Short ribs and nachos were good.

    Food was not good. Shrimp appetizer came with the shrimp swimming in a creamy sauce. Shrimp still had tails on so you have to pick them out of the sauce, take off the tails then put them in tortillas with the sauce. Guacamole was definitely not made fresh. Margarita was watered down. All of our tacos came cold. Meat wasn’t even warm, it was very cold. Would not recommend.

    Very good mushroom tostada and cocktails. I liked the ‘who shot ya’; got it twice! Ambience was nice; it was loud but I could still hear my date.

    Have been to every branch of Carnita and this was our first time at Eglinton. The nachos here have always been great, along with tacos with chicken, shrimp and churros for dessert. A bit disappointed that they only had caramel for the churros and not the chocolate.

    Appetizers came at the same time as the main course which is not good. Fortunately the server was quick to correct it and offered us a complimentary dessert. Food was tasty although a bit spicy for some.
