| - When I first saw the Yelp reviews for this place, I thought we definitely needed to try this place. We were finally in the area and had the time to give it a try. I must admit, I was a bit dissapointed - Possibly due to all the stellar Yelp reviews my expectations were quite high. Upon entering, there is very limited seating for about 15 ish people. It was spacious enough and did not feel over crowded but please note there is no washroom on site. The decor was modern, rustic and quaint. We were very plesantly greeted and attended to, although this place felt a bit more of a order, sit down to eat quick and go style place rather then a full restaurant. Also the menu was not very extensive as a full sit down restaurant, so keep your expectations in check.
But having said that, for what it is and what was offered this place is quite quite tasty. We ordered the original trio (carnita, el poyito and chori cheese) along with the Tortas. The corn tortitllas tasted great, and was quite similar to what we had tried in Mexico. Everything was again, quite tasty. But quantity wise, it was not filling and if your a big eater you may want to look elsewhere. For what we ordered it came out to a little under $20. So it was quite fair, but again its definitely not a bang for your buck type of place. If your into quality, this place may be for you as again it is tasty. All the meats tasted flavourful and juicy. A nice little thing too is that the chips offered while eating in tasted awesome. Not overly salty or processed.
If we are in the area again, I wouldnt mind coming back to see if they had anything else that was more fulfilling. But I cant help but feel I may have missed something on this visit.
