We went for dinner there and the food was delicious! Loved the Mexican vibe and the paintings on the wall. Nick was our waiter and he was amazing & charming! We were about 12 and he did a great job explaining the meals to us and serving us! We all commented how great he was! We all enjoyed our food. I didn't get the picture of everyone's meals cos we dug in so quick so only got the picture of my meal. A note that my meal was a special as that time so not sure it's on the regular menu.

MUCHO AMAZING!
Probably used that Spanish word wrong but this was very amazing - from the service to the food it was awesome!
Our server was fabulous - we saw on Instagram he won best server award in Thunder Bay this year that’s so cool but very well deserved he was excellent! Tentative, friendly, helpful, and made an excellent recommendation on the tequila!
Our food was also top notch! We only had drinks and appetizers but we will definitely be returning for meals!
Also appreciated the branding and overall look and feel of the place and even the down to the cute side plates! 👏🏼
We had such a great time here - would highly recommend!!

So, the food has a great flavour, service was good and I really liked the mexican aesthetics in there. Would I call it authentic mexican food? Nope. It's more like a fusion with tex mex. Did I enjoyed my chorizo empanadas? Absolutely! Portion was very decent, right amount of spicyness and tons of flavour. Someone else order taquitos and I have to say that the beans tasted really good. Those taquitos are decently spicy, maybe too much for someone that is not used to spicy food. I was very excited when I read in the menu that they offer traditional churros, but although they were tasty, again, not what you'd expect if you ever have ate mexican churros. I had the horchata drink and I loved it. A little pricey, so definitely something to consider before hand, but overall, a good experience.

An excellent experience. Enjoyed the enchiladas (con Carne y batata) and finished off with fresh churros and coffee.
We were seated with a view of the street for people watching and our waiter (Nick) was very attentive and pleasant.
The Latino music played in the background and took us back to the fond memories of old Mexico as we whiled away our winter blues.
Thanks guys, you made our evening out!

The culinary scene has certainly changed from my Lakehead University days!
El Tres - was a delightful experience! Located on Red River Road (Port Arthur), it offers up a wonderfully uncomplicated menu. You’ll be sure to find something that fills those cravings!
While I kept things simple with some local craft beer (Lake of the Woods Kolsch), there is a good selection of cocktails and wine.
The food , from the opening round of chips and guacamole, to the flautas, to the esquites, to the fish tacos, inspired and transported you away.
The service was engaging, and entertaining! If you have a craving for Mexican, then be sure to visit El Tres!
