| - Not being from Toronto, I was pleasantly surprised to find a number of Mexican/Central American eateries a block away from Chinatown. I was in the mood for something Mexican and after wandering up and down Augusta Aveune, I wound up here.
I had the Taco Platter, which is four tacos for $7.25, which was a pretty good deal. I got 1 chicken, 1 pork and 2 beef. The offered a vegeatrian option, but I wanted meat, so I didn't try it. They were also stuffed with rice and veggies, then topped with sour cream drizzle and cilantro. I was able to add salsa at the condiment bar.
I got there about 7pm and the place was pretty empty, so I got my food right away. The taco shells were crispy and falvourful, and the fillings nice. I wanted more sour cream and after asking, I got an extra side of it for free. That was fortunate, because the beef was pretty spicy and I needed it to take some of the heat off. Both the chicken and pork were closer to my comfort level (wimpy) and tasted great too.
I thought the shelves of Mexican food items were a nice touch too - if I lived there and wanted something exotic, this place has it.
All in all, this was a really good meal at a really good price. Based on some of the ther reviews here, this place may not sound as good as some of its nearby competitors, but this place seems to be more for those looking to slowly expand their palate and not totally change the way they eat Mexican food.
The only real knock I had on the place was the restroom, which was located in a dark basement and smelled like something had crawled in there and died.
