| - My sister had been raving about this particular restaurant for ages. I would respond, "So far???" Her friend brought her here a while back as they live in the area. She has been a taking the trip North since then as a loyal customer.
On a random Sunday afternoon during the Civic Holiday long weekend, we went with our spouses up to Bradford. There was no traffic so it took about 35 to 40 minutes to get there from 404/Don Mills and Steeles. When we got there, my brother-in-law parked the car right across the restaurant. We walked across the street and the cars were racing so we had to squeeze through.
Arrived the restaurant to much Mexican decor. Nice atmosphere and Mexican memorabilia. It was a lovely sunny day so the weather matched the mood of the restaurant. My sister called ahead for reservations just to be safe. It was not busy.
She recommended I try the pork tostadas. It was her favourite dish that she always gets! We ordered a plate of Nachos and Pork Adobado to start. Pretty nifty. The adobado totally tasted like Filipino Pork Adobo which was delightful to taste. Almost tasted like mom's. Ha! The nachos were fine, but boringly normal.
I eventually decided to get the platter for one which would come with:
1 pork tostada
1 pork taco
1 pork quesadilla
1 beef burrito
You can switch between pork or beef, your choice.
What can I say, the food was excellent. It was dang oily but it was not that salty for a change. All simple ingredients but they all go together well. By far, the pork tostada was my favourite part of the platter, just like my sister. The shell was hella crispy, deep fried, the shredded pork was soft and juicy and the sour cream topped it all with creamy goodness. The guacamole added to the toppings. It's kinda like an open-faced cruncy taco. The burrito was pretty decent and I only got to half of the quesadilla which was great. Took the taco in a doggy bag.
Stuffed as hell, for dessert we got the churros. Amazing! Crunchy, crispy, sugared but not too sweet with the caramel sauce. Stellar!
All in all, it was a great experience. I thanked my sister and bro-in-law for taking us there. It is true that I do have my sister's great taste in food. I most definitely would return for the great tasting food and bring some family and friends who wouldn't mind the trek. Deliciosa. Good thing I didn't drive home. Totally woulda had a siesta behind the wheel! ¡Olé!
