Reviews for El Chino Snack Bar in Halifax, NS
Cute little spot. Lots of additional seating that is not visible when you first walk in, so if it looks full they may still have... tables available. The drinks were great and the ice cream sandwich is a must. Read more
Awesome service, great drinks, great meat options. Pork belly bao slaps. Only problem is the vegetarian options really are lack... luster. Veggie taco was the only substantial thing and was confusing to eat and unfortunately flavour was not there. A goodvegetarian option or two would elevate this to a 4 or 5 star Read more
The food lacks the hype of what everyone raves about. The hand made taco shells which are hand rolled are much to be... appreciated. We tried 2 orders of each taco, general tao chicken wings, vegetarian patties and an assortment of drinks. Thedrinks were well made, great mix of tastes. The tacos are basic, nothing they truly add in it that makes it theirs that otherscan't replicate. My friends say the vegetarian patty was great. We didn't finish the wings, I didn't mind them, other people saythere's too much of an aftertaste, most likely from hoisin sauce. Read more
They make up for the small selection in how DELICIOUS the food is. Small little bar with a very comfortable and welcoming vibe.... My favorite part is that the serve Chinese beer (Tsing Tao) as well so make sure to give it a try. Will definitely be goingback to this place! Read more
I went to El Chino for my sisters Bachelorette party. We wanted a mixology themed event and K and her team really delivered.... They organized a super fun, informative & delicious evening. They were incredibly friendly and helped us through all the stepsof crafting our own cocktails. They went above and beyond by decorating the space and crafting personalized cocktails. We alsotried some of their snacks which were very tasty and generous. Can?t recommend them enough! Perfect space for a small event orjust an evening out with loved ones! Read more
The atmosphere was really cool I really enjoyed the art and setup. Food was good really enjoyed the dumplings and the general... tao wings. We had a few other items which were fine but those two were the stand out. Drinks were great i really enjoyedseveral of their margaritas. Will definitely go again! Ive added a picture of the pork belly bao which was not bad! Read more
Really enjoyed my first experience here at El Chino. A friend recommended it because of the tacos and we were excited to try it.... We had the pork dumplings, General Tao chicken wings, and the pork tacos. Everything was delicious. The standout item wasdefinitely the tacos. They were jam packed and very authentic Mexican tasting. It?s definitely a little bit pricey for what youget, which is the only reason I didn?t give it a full 5 stars. However, they do call them self a snack bar so it?s not exactly adinner destination so I may do it right next time and just pop in here when I crave a little snack rather than a full meal. Read more
Food was pretty top notch, and original, with good complimentary and fresh flavours. Drank liquor out of a coconut too and they... weren't even made when I thought the empty across the restaurant yelling, 'huck a coc'! Read more
