| - Finally got a chance to try this place after anxiously waiting for them to re-open after their February temporary closure.
It's a very small restaurant and they don't take reservations for 2 people, and it was fully packed that night but luckily we got a table right as we got in. It's a very cozy restaurant and well decorated, with cultural drawings and descriptions all over.
We started off with their tortilla's chips with guacamole. This consisted of blue corn chips that tasted homemade for sure. They were so good! The texture was firm, the taste of corn stood out, and they weren't greasy at all.
My friend and I ended up getting the vegetarian quesadilla's. The way they make their quesadilla's are different from any other place, since their version is basically a larger version of a taco. I definitely prefer this version more as it allowed me to try different options rather than the typical quesadilla's which are so large that you can only order one kind. Also, this way there is more filling inside and less greasiness that would result from cooking it on a skillet.
I chose 3 different types: roasted pepper, mushroom, and cactus. I chose to have the first 2 without cheese. This was served with a tiny amount of refried beans (which I wish was a larger serving size) and a small side of salad. My first bit literally got me speechless! The cactus one was amazing! Which may be due to the cheese. But the mushroom one, despite not even containing cheese was the best! I don't know how they made it so flavourful! But the highlight of it all was the tortilla. That fresh corn taste is unbeatable.
This is what you would call an authentic Mexican restaurant. There are no football sized burritos, hard taco shells, and foods doused in cheese!
After this experience I ended up back there the following weekend...it's pretty addictive! So far this would be the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Worth going for sure!
