| - This former food company transitioned into a full service restaurant ~2014 and after the fanfare died down, the Baby Point area is left with a good alternative to Queen Margarita Pizza and the unfortunate Fiddler's Pub for food.
They moved into the former Alfredo's grocery store space and has done the best they can at making it feel more intimate. Curtains adorn the doorways and festive Mexican murals cover the interior walls. There is a bar with one flat screen within the same space as dining room.
Service was friendly and attentive- full marks.
The menu was varied- sadly only one burrito option, and no chimichanga or similar. There are several taco options and many traditional entrees including a mole pueblano chicken that included an entire half chicken, refried beans, and a vegetable medley that included brussel sprouts and beets. Excellent, and great to split between two people.
We also had the guacamole, which was fresh but a little heavy on the onions- still not bad. And the Mexican street corn- which has become quite popular lately, and they do it well here. Not as good as nearby Playa Cabana Cantina which finishes the corn on the grill, but tasty nonetheless.
A decent number of craft beers on tap.
Really , the food and service experience was excellent, and they are making the best out of the square box room configuration, but for local a more authentic Mexican experience in the west end try Playa in the Junction or Aztec Mine on Bloor near the Park.
Also worth mentioning they still sell their chips and other Mexican groceries from the restaurant.
