| - Finally, a real Mexican restaurant!! While the restaurant doesn't appear finished and the wait staff have great attitudes but still need some experience, the grand opening was fun!
The menu is very long and in my opinion, could use some major trimming, Having 4 (I think?) options for pork tacos alone has got to be tough for the kitchen and overwhelming to customers. Maybe cutting the taco and burrito menu to be more like the options that were available at the farmers market? The other items could be daily specials.
There are many different ceviche options. The one we had was amazing and so fresh! It was also an extremely generous portion with more than enough to share, full of shrimp, fish and perfectly tender octopus. I could make a meal out of the ceviche by itself.
We also had the queso fundido with chorizo. It was rich and again, a generous portion! Wish there had been another tortilla or 2 served with it and I'm sure if I had asked, our waitress would have gotten some for us. Again, her attitude was great, even if she couldn't pronounce the food names.
The tamales (both red and green) were also excellent, just as they were at the Brampton Farmers Market over the summer. These were the reason we came and while they weren't on the dinner menu, our wonderful waitress was able to make our evening by securing a couple of each for us!! Again, these were the reason we came and we were not disappointed!!
The mole was spicy and flavorful but a bit thicker than I'm used to. That's not a bad thing, just different. The rice that came with it left a lot to be desired. I don't know why I didn't get any beans but I didn't miss them. I was already very full from the ceviche, tamales and queso fundido.
And the final item we had was the posole. I've never had white posole before, just red or green. The white was pretty bland and I'm not sure it was finished. It was basically just some chicken broth, hominy and shredded chicken. I'm used to posole that comes with lots of condiments, like radishes, oregano, diced onions, lime wedges, tortilla strips, etc. It might be comforting if you had a cold or if you spiced it up with some hot sauce but as it was, I won't order it again.
Overall, the food was good. very traditional, fresh and ample portions. They seem to have opened before they were really ready. They need to finish the floors, add some decor to the walls, have the staff learn the menu and stop serving drinks in cans.
Even if they don't change a thing though, I'll be back for that ceviche and the tamales!! I can't wait to try the taquitos and the pescadero tacos with mango coleslaw and Dona Nona's flan and the enchilada suizas and............so much more!
Yup. I'm a fan!
