Loved it! The esquites salad was the star of our meal, so delicious! The cochinita tacos were good, but the pulled pork was a bit dry, the marinated veggies on the side were a good addition. Camarones, great classic, can't go wrong!

Dirty D was an okay experience. I went there with my colleagues from work wanting a sit-down restaurant to eat. The vibes were pretty good. The place was well decorated with many colorful walls, a stacked bar, & even the washrooms had glow in the dark lights. What I was really let down by was the portion sizes given the price. My partner & I got 3 empanadas, guac, & 3 birria tacos. The tacos were delicious but were the size of a folded napkin. The empanadas were a bit smaller than that. The guac seemed to come in a sauce container compared to the hefty amount of tortilla chips next to it. Overall, it was an okay experience, & the food was delicious. I just felt like there were other places that serve food of similar/better quality given the price.
Pretty decent place to kill the taco crave while shopping at the dix60. We had the Al pastor, the shrimp, & the shredded beef tacos - they all tasted good. I would recommend them adding a battered fish taco to their menu so the pescatarians out there have more than one option. Service was average, as the food took a while (even though the restaurant was basically empty) & it came out wrong. Atmosphere is upbeat & cool.
My boyfriend & I were visiting some friends on the South Shore & decided to stop by Dirty Dive Bar for lunch. We had never heard of the place before, & after a quick online search, the reviews were decent, but not excellent. Regardless, because we love Mexican food, we decided to stop in, & I am so glad we did! The tacos were delicious, & reminded me of top quality mom & pop Mexican places in the city! I had the Asado de puerco, & my boyfriend had the Al Pastor, & both were tender & flavourful. I would definitely recommend!
Went for supper midweek, was best time!
Virgin Margerita was refreshing, shrimp Taco delicious & the tentative service was caring. Husband had a very special burrito
Will return!
Loaded Nachos are really great. But the tacos this time around were so,so the tortillas were dry. It won't stop me from trying again. But do something about the music was way way to load, no fun when you have to scream at each other to talk.
