| - My family and I came here earlier today and I was surprised in a few ways. On yelp, this restaurant had an almost perfect rating and I imagined it would be more of a formal sit down restaurant than a fast food joint. I put my first impression aside and decided to enjoy the dining experience.
The restaurant had maybe five tables that can hold about 4-6 people (they also have one high chair onsite for toddlers). My family looked at the menu and placed their orders while I went up to the cash register to speak with the employees to find out what items I could eat. The employees brought out some of the packaging and I discovered I could safely eat their tacos, since they use corn tortillas. Talk about being lucky! When the employees were ready to make my tacos, they called me over and let me pick all of the toppings. There were so many great toppings to choose from including shrimp ceviche, mango, pesto, pickled turnips and more. My taco looked so colourful when they finished adding the ingredients; I was very happy with my choice.
Everyone else ordered some of the meat dishes including: carne asada, chicken and ribs. My family found the meats a little over cooked but still flavourful and they all loved the side-dishes. Some of the sides included shrimp ceviche, arroz con pollo, salads and more. We also ordered guacamole and chips to start and everyone loved them (I could eat the guacamole but not the chips).
My tacos tasted amazing. The toppings I choose were selected to make it juicy without using cheese and sour cream, which both include dairy. Allover, my tacos tasted fantastic! My only complaint was the meat was a bit tough at the bottom of my tacos. Luckily the toppings I choose helped make it go down a little easier.
Allover, I would say this restaurant is a solid three stars (good in my eyes). The only thing that would make this place better is not overcooking their meat.
The guys working there were from Venezuela and they were really nice. We also ordered pops from the fridge behind the cash register. I tried the guava one and really enjoyed it. My father tried a yellow one (I think it was pineapple flavoured and he really enjoyed his as well).
