Got to check out El Furniture a week or so after it opened - I've been involved with the opening of a restaurant (even as an already distinct brand) and understand how difficult it is - but they seemed to do fairly well overall.
It has a nice interior - I know it's probably not part of the brand - but they could have had the Jays game on a Sunday afternoon ! But I was there for food & a Caesar - drink list & menu were laid out very well. Was questioning the labeling of Amsterdams BoneShaker as a cider? Pretty sure it's nothing close to a cider - but that's my only critique on that, because I'm a beer nerd. Also don't let the cheap food fool you into thinking that the drinks must be expensive cause they aren't!!
The menu was a lot more extensive than what I expected - had a lot of decent options and the portion sizes seemed great for $4.95. We saw a few different things go by - but both ended up ordering a burger with the chorizo queso dip to start. The app & main came at the same time, but not going to criticize too much cause they are still working out their kinks.
Onto the food - Although the dip is space cheese, it has an eerie crack-like addictive quality that makes you keep eating. It comes with tortillas and toast - but the toast is kinda too soft for the dip - could definitely sub those few pieces for a few more chips.
Also it gets a bit thick after a bit, so this is one you definitely need to eat hot - but I'm sure they would definitely heat it back up for you if you asked.
The burgers were pretty substantial for the price - and came with sides! I'm picky on my fries, wasn't a huge fan of these ones (I only like hand cut) - but I did get the kale Caesar as my side which was delicious (an extra 1.95 but worth it).
All in all, with the mexi-casa app and burger meal, I felt like I was in a fancier? Nicer? Fast food restaurant - Taco Bell & McDonald's specifically. Had the same stomach pang of guilt after eating - but definitely worth a try here for sure. Id maybe go with something less greasy next time.
I think El Furniture is a great place for a session though since the drinks are decently priced - and it comes in handy that everything is decently priced when you get the munchies.
