Ghost Taco
2024 Oct 17
A great taco spot and definitely one of the top taco spots in York region

Nice modern feel, but still a retro vibe to the location. The tacos are excellent. Enough variety to keep you coming but not overbearing on menu items.

Tacos were delicious. I loved the poblano con queso the best. Even without meat, I’m sold on it. Kids also gobbled everything up, so you know it has to be good when the kids do that.

The churros had to be ordered. And every single bite had a crunch to it. Even my daughter was excited at the crunch sound.

Summer times here are awesome as they have this big garage like window that opens up and you get that summer feeling

Service was great. Explained all the taco questions we had and didn’t push us to make orders.

Parking might look like a challenge when driving on Main Street, but they have a huge parking lot spanning that back side of Main Street on the east side.

Great job overall
Lucullus Bakery

Love the lucullus lines of bakery. However, I think they are getting quite expensive

They have some unique items which are very cool, but for the amount they’re asking for, I think, it could be either larger or filled more

The donuts which look amazing, and I would have bought them, but noticed the cream and fruit was only at the top.

The one thing that I would definitely pay for is their GIANT ham sui kok. It’s actually so good and the thing is at least two times the size of the normal ones. Nice amount of filling inside too.

Didn’t get anything from this location, but they do have a nice amount of seating as they took over michel’s baguette which already had a good amount of places to sit

Midday and there was still quite a bit to choose from as well.

Good job from what I saw so far
Cafe Landwer
2023 Dec 19
Had my holiday party with my staff here this year and it was such an excellent experience.

I have been to other landwer locations, but this one is close to work and nice and convenient

Food is always awesome here. Ordered a bunch of apps, which I almost filled up on. The pita with the dips are just so soft. And the tahini was creamy and smooth

I had the merguez shakshuka and very yum. I love their shakshuka as I think landwer was the spot for my very first one ever, so I have a soft spot on their shakshukas, which I think are just amazing

Had a kunafeh to end the meal and not too sweet, but hit all the right spots for a dessert

Service was amazing. Our waitress was super attentive to all our needs and went the extra mile. I had some extra treats like cookies and babkas that i ordered on the spot that they tried to accommodate for me, which is also greatly appreciated. But from what everyone says, I have to go and get a babka from landwer now

A little info about this location. There is underground parking available for the building and as well an entrance inside the building to access the restaurant. There is also a pay station available inside the restaurant where there may be some validation of parking

Great job overall!
Another great spot for dim sum, only cheaper than all the other spots

Small dishes start at $3.99 and goes up from there. There may only be a few small size dishes, but still so worth it.

Service was great as one of the waitresses made some small talk with us in canto, which was greatly appreciated. You don’t get that from other Chinese restos, especially as a walk in who don’t know the staff

Lots of ample parking, and went in on a Wednesday and no line up at 11:30am.

Definitely recommend checking out this spot.

Great job overall
Deer Cake

Have wanted to buy a cake for birthday celebrations from here for so long. So when my daughter requested for a cake, just had to make a stop here

Ordered the mango pomelo sago cake, which was supposed to be a lava type cake. Had to keep it in the fridge until we were ready, but maybe it was in the fridge for awhile as the lava did not come down and cover the cake

With that being said, it was still thoroughly enjoyable! The taste was fresh and the cream was so light and delicious. It complemented the sago, mango pomelo so well

They do have cakes, and some other small treats available for purchase daily, so that is something good to know as I was not sure if they have readily available for purchase cakes

It’s not the full lineup, but the best sellers are there and if you see or think you want something else, best to call and order in advance

Saw they have a mango pomelo sago smoothie drink and that might be one of the top ones I’ve had! It was so creamy and thick looking but so easy to drink!

Service was great. Never felt pressured even after leaving and coming back after lunch

Definitely coming back here for some pretty looking birthday cakes! A little pricey for the size, but the design and quality totally make up for that!

Great job overall!
