El Mae Restaurant — Restaurant in Toronto

This place is authentic and the food is great. I had a ceviche de pescado (fish) and arrow con camaron. The ceviche was super fresh and had a real Tico taste , loved it. The shrimp rice was a bit bland but took it home and pimped it up. Hubby had a Chifrijo which was to die for and the bistec encebollado. Both super delicious.

I recently ordered the Chifrijo dish from El Mae, and I have to say, it was a bomb! This Costa Rican takeout food spot really knows how to deliver delicious, authentic cuisine.

Overall, I highly recommend El Mae for anyone looking for a taste of Costa Rican cuisine that won't disappoint. I'll definitely be coming...
