| - Went here tonight with some foodie friends and left pretty disappointed, though I'm still glad we checked it out. I mean, how else will you find out, right?
Place was quite spacious and clean. Staff were also very friendly. So that alone I'd give 5/5 stars.
My friend and I shared Da Finest which is their basa fish burrito and also an Off Da Hook which is their rib-eye burrito. Because they said that their medium hot sauce is super spicy, we opted for their mild sauce. We got all fixings in both burritos so the portions were actually very good. You can definitely fill up with just one burrito.
With Da Finest, we opted for rice. Fish was nicely fried with a nice batter and a generous amount of rice, beans and guacamole. The mild sauce was so mild that you could barely taste anything. Thankfully I have a Sriracha-to-go so I was able to add some flavor to it. I wish I had my Cholula hot sauce instead though which is the best hot sauce out there for Mexican food and even Italian. Gonna give this one 3/5.
Then there's the Off Da Hook burrito. We opted for the noodles instead of rice this time. Interested, sure but still lacked flavor. Admittedly I picked out the little cilantro from both but because there was very little in the first place, it wouldn't have done much with respect to flavouring. The beef, however, was very tender. Sometimes beef is tough but this was perfection. As much as I appreciated the tenderness of the beef as well as the quantity, it still lacked flavor. Gonna have to give this one also a 3/5.
Nacho and cheese was a huge disappointment. The ones you get from the theatre are much better in my opinion. For its portion size and overall taste, it's definitely not worth $4.99. 2/5.
They had one with pulled pork and another one that's a special jerk chicken that I'd like to try. Don't think I'll go back anytime soon, though.
