| - My good friend was kind enough to take me to this place. Good company for sure, but forgettable food. This is a great place, if you have never eaten real Mexican tacos. I grew up in California, and lived in Arizona as adult. I have eaten plenty of real Mexican tacos in US and Mexico. I can tell you for sure real Mexican tacos do not taste like the ones I ate at Hermanos. I ate the three tacos combo - fish, beef, and pork. It was bland, tasteless and not authentic. Meat on the tacos tasted fresh but extremely bland. The topping on three tacos were forgettable - this is best way I can describe it. It tasted like there was no real toppings that added much to the taste. Where is radish? Where is pico de gallo? Where is chopped onions & cilantro? Where is salsa verde or roja? or Lemon or hot sauce? Bottom line is that Hermanos tacos were like going on blind dates with girls who have not reached puberty yet. Taste was so not authentic and forgettable that Hermanos should change their name to Hermans, to denote their water down yuppy suburban taste.
On the positive note, the food tasted fresh, clean and healthy compared to authentic Mexican tacos. The tortilla that was used was very high quality and tasted healthy, almost organic.
But seriously, if you are going to make a living making tacos, you really have to step up the game, even if you are serving tacos to yuppy suburban white folks in a ritzy neighborhood. This restaurant would not survive in competitive environment like Toronto downtown, let alone Los Angeles or Baja Mexico.
Taste: TWO Star
Cleanliness and health conscious: Three Star
Overall: 2.5 Stars
P.S. I encourage the owner to travel and taste real Mexican tacos. If you can't make it to Mexico or South West US, at least go to downtown Toronto and taste real Mexican tacos and bring home the lessons. Mississauga badly needs a taco joint that delivers on real Mexican taco taste. Someone please do it. We will all love you for it!!!$$$!!!
