    Uniquely presented and fabulous food. Cool atmosphere and nice staff. AND they had Canadian Rye Whiskey, which many of the new restaurants who think they're too cool for something from Canada, don't have.

    Good food, although I didn't like the duck tacos at all, but everything else was good. The dulce de leche dessert was outstanding, the churro is probably the best I've ever had.

    Being a self proclaimed food snob I am not easily impressed. This place took me by surprize and nearly blew my socks off. From the service to the extra ordinary food this is a must visit place. Do not let the term Mexican food stop you as it almost did me. I like Mexican but do not love it. Cuchillo takes mexican to a higher level than I have seen before and I spend a lot of time in Mexico. Make sure there is at least four in your party when you visit, then you will have the chance to delight in more than a couple of dishes. It is tapa style dining. The tequila selection is fantastic...some very high end stuff that is usually hard to find in Canada

    Went to Cuchillo for dinner and was amazed at how busy the place was. Being it was our first time there, we asked a lot of questions. Our server was super friendly and all the dishes we ordered were very good. If you go, make sure you save room for the ridiculously yummy dessert. Looking forward to my next visit to Cuchillo.

    Cuchillo was absolutely amazing. We can't wait to go back and we are very very fortunate to be within walking distance of it. Stephanie, our waitress was fantastic, made appropriate recommendations and kept the food coming....and what food!!! Over the top tuna ceviche, scrumptious tacos and pork belly....oh my the pork belly. Some lovely crafted cocktails and a nice little wine list rounded out a great night out. Can't wait to return.

    I really like the grilled corn. A must try. The menu is a little limited but the fish tacos are delicious. The location is not so desirable given that it fairly dark on Powell Street in the winter.

    OMG! So good! I could eat only the corn bread & be satisfied but then would miss out on all the fabulous taqueiras! We'll be back for sure.

    Our second visit in 2 weeks since a friend introduced us and we're hooked. Off the main pretentious dining areas. Good service. Great sharing plates and albeit they only serve one dessert, its amazing! Highly recommend!

    A friend recommended this restaurant with great enthusiasm! What a great find ~ the ambiance was fun, vibrant and energized on a Saturday night. We were seated at the bar since every table in the place was occupied. Fun location to people watch. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable with the menu. The wine selection was great. The server made a few suggestions which we ordered ~ tuna sashimi, corn husk mini corn, flat iron steak and the prawns. The dishes came out every 20 minutes which we loved since we were here for the evening. Every dish had its own unique flavour ~perfect portion size ~ lovely display. Perfect restaurant for a group or couple.
