Mochica - If you are in Toronto, avoid this place

  1. Getting a cocktail at the bar when there are only four others takes 10 minutes.

  2. Adequate ceviche - I’ve had better at 3/4 of the price

  3. Ordered fish, got some un-identified meat after 40 minutes. The ordering process was an adventure, as the server’s language skills in English were lacking.

  4. My dish to be replaced took another 40 minutes, arrived on a cold plate with sauce already getting cold.

  5. No apologies, no comps, no acknowledgement of their mistakes.

  6. Music kept changing mid-song to accommodate a couple of ladies at the bar who received exclusive attention - I don’t expect superb service, but it would be nice if they look over once in a while and fill the wine glass.

  7. Oh, don’t point the sparkling wine at the hanging glasses when trying to open it and not keep the thumb on the cork.

Bill $150, tip $0.

Highly NOT recommended.

Thanks for the heads up, Jay.
