La Reina

Great variety of Mexican food.

Food has gone downhill a bit since our last visit. A very loud and vibrant spot- so good for groups, and nice decor. Service was disappointing and a few small things they need to work on. My wife’s dish had a hair in it, which can happen - but they should have at least acknowledged it. These days, La Reina is average at best, disappointing since this was always our anniversary spot.

Overall I had a good experience at La Reina. The price of the food was slightly overpriced compared to the competition and the quality/taste didn’t justify the price difference. We would’ve loved to had a couple of the delicious drinks, but the service wasn’t the greatest as over a 2 hour period we saw the server at most 3 times before bringing the bill. Once to bring the drinks/take our order, once to bring food and once for a refill. Overall the experience I expected, which was good at best.

High prices, food that's just okay, a pretentious atmosphere, and a very unwelcoming boomer vibe. There are so many great places for food and drinks downtown, there's absolutely no reason to go back here. You really get the sense they don't care about their guests, the city, or neighborhood. A place like this doesn't belong in Guelph.

Yum yum

The atmosphere is amazing, very well done! The mural work, the día de muertos, Mexican revolution, wood skull etc the place is super nice. The staff is friendly and the margarita with Miguel was quite good. However, I had had ceviche many times in my life and I was not expecting this huge chunks and lacking other ingredients, so I can’t recommend it. The tortilla soup was missing some flavour as well tbh, and the queso fundillo felt a little too microwaved for my personal taste.

Friendly staff and attentive service, but the food was disappointing. Lackluster flavors and poorly executed dishes overshadowed the positive service experience. Hoping for improvements in the kitchen.

I'm not one for reviews but I stumbled past the door and walked in. Order on a recommendation and chocked on the price for lunch $29. Never spent that before and was wondering what I got myself into. Was the lunch huge for $29 no. Was it enough sure was. Will I do it again. 100%. The quality of the food was outstanding. So fresh and the level of quality was better than anything I have eaten in a take-a-away or eating out. It just blew me away. I just felt I had something authentic for a change and not processed and I would pay extra for that !!
