Tortillas
Pico de Gallo
Tall can of Tecate and a Coke
First, we went on May 5th - likely one of their busiest nights of the year, and there were only two floundering waitresses attempting to cater to a full house and a half-full patio with food and drinks. It was obvious that the large tables were eating, drinking, and talking - Help a table that has nothing on it, and at least get us our drinks.
30 minutes of waiting for the first girl to come get our drinks, and even then, I had to get up and get the Tecate from the fridge myself. Unfortunate they didn't slow down and focus on what was important for their restaurant. Relax, take a breath, and the two girls would likely have noticed what was failing.
The Pico de Gallo felt like the leftovers from someone else's table - only 4 pieces of tomato, so not really like Gallo at all. Wet onion and cilantro. The flautas were 85% tortilla, and 15% dry, unflavoured beef - which we could barely get down they were so dry. Only the green salsa made them better. I've had much, much better.
The tacos were standard - but the Al Pastor meat was stiff and firm, but with an okay flavour. A bit sweet from the pineapple, but uneventful.
The best part of our meal were the Cochinita Pipil Tacos which were full of flavour and topped nicely with a lot of shredded pork in soft shells, topped with pickled onion - very well done!! Had they not been that excellent, Mexitaco would have received one star.
Will not go back. There are other places in Toronto that have stepped up their game to bother with the terrible service and the terrible flautas.
