I was in Toronto today visiting family and heard that Smoke's expanded into the Burrito market. As a frequent visitor to the Smoke's Poutinerie and Weinerie in Oshawa, we decided to give this new concept a try.
You walk down a flight of stairs to a small, yet colourful store. It looks pretty nice, with a sauce bar and a funky donkey decor. There is a sauce that is kept behind the counter to build excitement, where you apparently have to sign a contract to try it.
We decided to try "wacky" burritos, to switch up from the normal burrito. I had the Pad Thai and it was horrible. Not sure if it was because we went for lunch, and they used the same rice from the previous nice, but it was hard, over cooked and lacked flavour.
There wasn't anyone else in the restaurant, so service was fast and friendly, but I think that was the only positive to this burrito experience.
It was a huge let down. I hate comparing but the competition is better. I think you should stick to what you know...poutine and hot dogs.
