    Chicken was great, the fries were a little too salty..but the mac and cheese was delicious! The staff was very friendly and welcoming and that's great!

    I've been to Timeout Market many times, and this stall always seems to have a line. Today, the queue was much shorter, so I finally decided to give it a try. I ordered the 5-piece tenders. Since everything is fried fresh to order, there was still a bit of a wait, but it was worth it. Chicken breast can often be dry, but theirs was tender, juicy, and coated in a crispy, non-greasy batter. The fries also tasted fresh and were nicely cooked. You can choose from a variety of sauces, and the house sauce was quite unique and paired well with the chicken. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and I'd come back again when the line isn't too long.

    Absolutely amazing chicken! So juicy, we chose the spice level hot, got really good kick to it. Even though lunch time was busy, the service was great, the owner even came to check on us. 5 stars, highly recommended 👍

    Delicious tacos sold here for 22 (for 3) For the tacos I chose the 3 more classic options and also got a side of rice. All tasted excellent and the staff were polite.

    My first time trying tacos, and it was an amazing experience! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I really loved the variety of fillings—they had beef, fish, and pork tacos, so there was something for every taste. Each taco had its own unique flavor, and the toppings and sauces complemented them perfectly. The staff were friendly, and the overall experience was fantastic. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Santo Taco to anyone looking for authentic and delicious tacos!

    Went here during the opening day when it was so busy. All workers, especially the lady at the front giving out food, still kept a smile on their face giving their best customer service even though customers were being so rude and entitled. Big props to them. I had the birria, pork and steak tacos and all were so incredibly flavourful. Reminds me of the tacos I had in Mexico City. Highly recommend everyone to try this spot!!

    We held our wedding reception at Shaughnessy and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. The Events team (Carlle & Lauren) were so helpful and responsive from planning to execution. The chef was also super creative and accommodating in coming up with a custom menu for us and the food was so fresh and delicious made with local ingredients. The front of house team delivered impeccable service to our guests, worked collaboratively with our vendors and overall made the day so stress-free as a bride. I could not recommend Shaughnessy any more to all the couples looking for their venue.

    There is a $4.99 teen burger special. Had to give it a try and it did not disappoint. Lettuce, tomatoes and onions were fresh. Meat patty is almost as big as bun. A lil shrinkage, but not as bad as macd. The special is legit. Delicious. $5.25 after tax.

    The food is always a go to for me over here. Arsh and Harpreet have always been sweet and kind while taking orders and have been helpful. The place is kept clean and hygienic in the seating area as well. Would recommend always.

    I had the Masala Veggie Burger combo with onion rings and a Coke, and everything was delicious! The burger was fresh, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. The onion rings were crispy and cooked perfectly, and the Coke was ice cold, making the meal even better. The service was quick, the staff were friendly, and the restaurant was clean. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back for another meal!
