Classic Mexican with an eclectic St. John's feel. A high energy room with an overriding Dia de Muertos theme. Guest focused team and the largest tequila selection in Atlantic Canada with a large variety of original Margaritas. Moose Taquitos are a must!

    Great aesthetic, it was open mic night so it was a bit loud. Food was best kind a bit pricey for what you get and nothing came with sides. Server was excellent.

    First time visiting the Paradise location. Pre-pandemic patron of the downtown location. Decor: nothing special Lighting: Poor. Hard to read a menu printed on black paper. Amenities: No place to hang your clothes or your hat near your table. Drinks: Tad expensive. $56.00 carafe of Sangria, half of it ice. Food: nothing special Portions: smallish Noise level: music too loud Value for money: poor

    Music was WAY too loud; literally had to scream to talk to the other people at the table. Brutal. Food wasn’t great; served cold and didn’t taste at all like chicken (resembled cat food).

    Service was great! Very prompt…. All staff work as a team, which is nice to see. Hoping the tortilla soup will be back on the menu soon…. It is so awesome and I really miss it! Love the salsa and Tostitos, but would like more salsa to go with the quantity of chips provided.

    We've visited Cojones in Paradise a few times for a couple drinks at the bar but this was our first time there on a Saturday night for a meal. Our server, Zack, was amazing! Such a friendly guy with an awesome personality. Answered all our questions and made some wonderful suggestions. The drinks were awesome and we loved the food! Will definitely be back!

    The first time we were at cojones, we enjoyed it very much. This was our second visit. The portions that we got compared to the first visit was actually half the size. The taco was on a small taco, a small scoop of coleslaw and diced tomato, all for 12 dollars. A small scoop of rice and refried beans for 4 dollars each should of come complimentary with the taco meal. The Margarita wasn't even served in a proper Margarita glass, but it was delicious. The diet Pepsi tasted soapy The server was excellent. The food was tasty but needed bigger sizes. It's a good thing we ordered chips and salsa, which should be complimentary for the price of food there, otherwise we would of left still hungary. Would live to see bigger portions if we ever go there again.

    Our waiter was really good. When we Wprovided feedback that the queso dip was not good he took it off the menu. It was watery and did not taste right. The chips and guacamole were not great either. The guacamole was poor quality. Again runny and lacked flavour. We also ordered moose taquitos which were excellent. Blueberry mojito was also really good.

    Had such an amazing night and I wish I had a better memory for our waitress’ name as she was truly a rock start. She was amazing and my shy nervous kid engaged in conversation with her. The food was exceptional, as always, tried the gluten free cake and it was AmAzing!!!! Perfect texture and flavour 💕

    The food was tasteless. I had the fish tacos and the fish looked like processed fish sticks from a grocery store. My husband had the moose taquitos and the portions were very small. The server was hardly around and didn't get the order right...Don't go there.

    Good time with my wife and friends. I must admit, it seemed their portion size on tacos have gotten much smaller. My wife had the cod tacos and I had the carne ones, and they were much smaller in size compared to the ones we had 4 months ago.

    When ordering pitchers of margaritas, our waitress asked if we’d like to upgrade. We asked what the options were for upgrading; thinking it would be different ingredients. She told us if we upgraded to a more expensive tequila she would be entered for a 50$ gift card for a restaurant downtown…. This was very awkward. When ordering food one member of our party asked how the pork tacos are and she told us they were not very good at all. Very unprofessional vibe. Food and drinks were good. Waitress was questionable.

    This has always been a favorite place me and my family.. service is still amazing and the restaurant esthetic is amazing. Unfortunately they have cut corners on the food. They took away the best items on the menu. Changed other fully established meals. The portion sizes have drastically become smaller. Prices changed but not enough to make up for the disappointment in the food changes. This was a favorite go to that has become a never again. Very sad to see such an amazing restaurant go downhill so fast. Disappointed is an understatement.
