| - I'd give this place a 3.5/5 but I'm giving them the benefit of rounding up this time.
I've had Mexican food in Arizona, Texas, California and Florida. I'm not a connoisseur, but I have some idea of what decent Mexican food tastes like. This place is by no means the best Mexican food I've ever tasted, but for GTA standards, it's pretty good. I'd say it's quite comparable to a decent-caliber Mexican restaurant in California. I opted for the chimichanga and it was decent. Nothing spectacular to jump out at me flavour-wise, but passable, though another companion who got the same thing seemed to like it quite a bit. The enchiladas looked pretty good as well. I came with a fairly large group and everyone enjoyed their meals. The complimentary chips were nice too. You could potentially say that the prices are a touch high for Mexican food of this caliber, but the serving sizes are quite reasonable.
There was only one server on a Saturday night but somehow he managed well enough, though it was occasionally a bit difficult to get a hold of him. He was a good fellow and very pleasant, so kudos to him. The restaurant is small; I'd guess that it only seats about 35 people or so. Was not too busy on a Saturday night; full but no real lineups. Has a good mom-and-pop shop vibe to it. Decor is nothing fancy, just a homely Mexican feel. Parking is somewhat limited but they have a handful of dedicated parking spots in the plaza behind them; I wouldn't say that parking is an inconvenience, but I can imagine that those spots could potentially be filled on a busy day.
Overall, a decent Mexican spot. Toronto doesn't really have too many Mexican options outside of the plethora of burrito places, so best of luck to them.
