| - I was seriously underwhelmed by this place, as were all the people in our party.
I'll start with the good: very quick, attentive service!! We were there on a Saturday night around 6:30, and we were in and out in 45 minutes.
The bad: super mediocre food. Overpriced. Ridiculously loud.
This is Toronto. We have some of the best food from all nations here. There's no excuse for bland food. Especially if you're working with Mexican.
Each taco, which is an authentic size (read: small), is anywhere from $4.50-6 each. Fine, if the flavours hold up. We all found the tacos bland and under seasoned. The sauces they would use were tasty, but the ingredients themselves were very bland. It was really disappointing.
Along with at least one of each kind of taco, we also ordered the trio of dips and chips, and the fried rice & corn fritters. The guac and the corn/ancho salsa were the highlights of the evening, but the black bean queso was cold and tasteless. The fritters were also without flavor, and there wasn't enough of the aioli it was served with to make up for it. The churros were nice, too.
But really, it wasn't a satisfying meal.
It was also insanely loud. As soon as it hit 6:45 they turned it up to club-levels, which made conversation nearly impossible.
Overall we were disappointed. We would not recommend it or return - especially not when there's so many really amazing Mexican places to visit nearby.
