My bf and I have been wanting to check this place out. One, because we love Mexican food and two, it claims to be the oldest Tex Mex restaurant in Toronto. So why not?
Upon entering, we waited for about 2 minutes to be seated although there was only 2 tables and the server saw us but didn't acknowledge us immediately. Strike 1.
Once seated, we were given the menu and time to decide what to order. When we decided what to get, I asked what's upside down volcano (a drink on the menu) and the server told me she's not sure and she'll have to check and get back to me. Strike 2. How can she not know the drinks on the menu because ultimately she's the server/bar tender? I ordered a cup of hot tea instead. Moving on.
I ordered Combo 1 which came with 4 cheese quesadilla, 2 flautas and 2 taquitos (with the choice of chicken or beef). Served with sides of sour cream, chipotle sauce and guacamole. The cheese quesadilla was delicious (prolly because I was hungry). Then I moved on to the flautas and taquitos. Ugh. They fried them with old oil and every bite I took I could taste the bitterness. Strike 3. The chipotle sauce was okay but the guacamole was flavourless.
My bf ordered Taco with Enchilada. It came with a beef taco and a choice between a cheese and chicken enchilada. His review? Everything was bland. And the order was wrong. He got cheese enchilada but it came one each instead. Strike 4. And he liked the cheese enchilada better than the chicken. He kept saying how bland everything was, including the taco. He sounded like a broken machine for 5 minutes.
Don't worry my math isn't wrong. Here I'll add one more star back because of the service. The server redeemed herself throughout our dining experience. She was very accommodating. And the food here was horrible but not great. Hence only two stars from us.
