| - So I'm on the phone with my insurance company complaining about... I mean... "enquiring" as to why my insurance has gone up when the girl on the other line asks where I live. When I tell her, Pickering, I didn't quite get the response I expected.
"Hey, have you ever been to Cielito Lindo?"
I had not and of course, if this is the first thing she thinks of when she thinks of Pickering, I clearly needed to find out more about this place.
We had a nice chat. The long and short of it is... there were more accidents in Pickering this past year... oh, and I need to go to this restaurant.
Now I'm new to Mexican food... I haven't even had as much as a burrito. I pleaded ignorance to our server and she was more than happy to walk us through the menu and help us make our selections.
My husband opted for the Tabasco from the 'Create-A-Combo' section ($11.95) and I went with the Pollo con Mole ($14.95)... I'm sorry, did you say chocolate? Sign me up! Both dishes were served with rice, salad and re-fried beans.
We were first presented with a complimentary platter of what appeared to be, homemade tortilla chips accompanied by a red dipping sauce. Absolutely delicious, and a nice way to start the meal.
The Tabasco came with one beef burrito with red sauce and one chicken enchilada with green tomatillo sauce. Simply a plate of comfort food. Each bite was fantastic and with just the right amount of heat.
My Mole was outstanding... even though I don't really have anything to compare it to. I know what I like... and this is it! The chicken strips were tender little pieces of happiness coated in a wonderful spicy... chocolaty... heavenly sauce which I couldn't get enough of. Holy Mole!
Did this delicious experience soften the blow of my insurance going up? Not really, but I know I will definitely be back!
