| - I was looking forward to trying Mais based on the strong reviews. We started off with a root vegetable salad which was quite tasty and had a nice flavour profile. We ordered fish tacos, a pinto bean taco, and the celeriac taco.
I'm sorry to say that the fish tacos, which were served with cabbage, avocado, and chili tasted like coleslaw with served with something mushy. There was no spice or salt, and the chili sauce only made it taste as though eating chopped cabbage with some spice. The pinto bean taco, with tomatillo, queso fresco, and morita also tasted as though I was eating baked beans on a taco. I couldn't taste any of the other ingredients. In a change of pace, the celeriac taco didn't taste mushy, but aside from the pineapple, the other ingredients didn't have much presence.
When the waitress asked us how we enjoyed our meal, I told her that aside from the salad, we both found that the tacos were mushy and without any flavour. She didn't apologise or ask what went wrong; all she said was that she had never heard anyone make that comment before and that everyone else enjoyed their food.
For $40, a lack of response from the restaurant when faced with some honest feedback and a lack of apology or at least regret that we didn't enjoy our meal, my money is better spent elsewhere.
