What User likes about Van Gogh's Ear:
Great food and the service was excellent. Ordered the nachos and they were excellent. A touch of chipotle with cheese, beef and jalapenos. A limited selection of beers on tap. Nice street front patio as well. No air conditioning inside. Great all around experience and would eat here again. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Van Gogh's Ear:
The biggest disappointment was how often we heard "sorry, we are out of that." My husband enjoyed his jerk chicken quesadilla and really enjoyed it. My daughter had the jerk chicken burrito, but found that the rice actually neutralized the spices, so we would recommend getting the quesadilla. I had the Chipoltle burrito which was fine, but I will try the quesadilla next time as well. My daughter loves the rebel fries... View all feedback.

Loved the outdoor patio. Good drinks. Great location on the corner. Unique interior decor. Nice staff.

Not sure where to put this review (I think this place is also Salsateria inside?) but my friends suggested we go for Taco Tuesdays and glad we did. We had beef...

Van Gogh's Ear is amazing. The food is great and the service is awesome. The food is always full of flavour and never disappoints.

Food was decent, the burrito was a little dry and the quesadilla was far too greasy.

I got a jerk chicken quesadilla and it was so much better than a pulled pork quesadilla I got at Fat **** Burrito in the area.

Overall, the restaurant received mixed reviews. Customers were disappointed by inconsistent food quality, service issues, and cleanliness concerns. However, some found the food to be tasty and enjoyed the friendly service and atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of options, with highlights including fresh salsa, jerk chicken quesadillas, and vegan-friendly items like nachos and jerk tofu wraps. The restaurant also offers daily specials and attractively priced options like Taco Tuesdays. While there are some areas for improvement, the restaurant's potential, location in downtown Guelph, and welcoming atmosphere make it a contender for future visits.
