My girlfriend, is a big fan of American-ized Mexican joints. From El Torito to even Del Taco (well, at least she can't stand Taco Bell), she loves the not so authentic stuff. Wonder what she would think of this place offering 'Canadaian-ized' Mexican?
Place was maybe 1/3 full when I came in for lunch around 1pm. I ordered the Clyde Burrito which features two styles of Beef Chili, a Con Carne and a Texas style with big chunks of brisket. It's not one of the Mission Street style ones you'd find at Chipotle or Burrito Boyz. This is more authentic style you'd eat with a fork and knife. Pretty good flavor although the refried beans that it came with might as well have come from a can from the Metro a block or so away.
Service was good at first and then my server simply ignored me for about 15 minutes and then realized he never gave me the check!
A real surprising disappointment was no free chips and salsa at your table. Is this the norm for Mexican joints in the True North? Or just Hernando's only? I was really looking forward to enjoying some during my meal and that was a disappointment.
Overall, Hernando's was OK. You'll definitely get a better burrito at Burrito Boyz but still better than most of the reviews I saw on Yelp illustrate.
