| - The food - four stars and a half -
the food was really good,we ordered a few different tacos and we liked them all, they have different options for the tortilla; soft tortilla, fried tortilla (tostada almost), lettuce "tortilla" (you use the lettuce as the tortilla)
As dessert we had the churros poutine AMAZING, if you love cajeta (it's a thicker version of Dulce de leche) you will enjoy this very very much.
My hubby and I wanted to also try the dark chocolate cake and they were out of it.
The drinks - two stars -
Ok.. I work in the industry and sometimes that makes me criticize a lot and expect a lot, thankfully I got my hubby who tells me when I am exaggerating, sadly this time it wasn't me it was the bartender.
We were seating right beside the bar in the patio at the back of the restaurant (very cool patio) I got a drink menu different my hubby we didn't notice until I ordered a drink and I was told I couldn't order from that menu because that was the inside menu.. Anyways I ordered the sangria and he ordered Dave's Margarita, my drink was not good, not bad, nothing special... My hubby's drink was ok. We saw the bartender really struggling making the drinks, no measurements and not rinsing the shakers. I decided I didn't want another drink, I didn't have lots of options and I didn't like the idea of having my drinks in plastic cups (that it's probably an Ontario law or something, but still) however my husband ordered a second one and let me tell you, the "Margarita" was white and it didn't taste like the first one at all, it tasted mainly like fake lime.. I understand she was busy and I understand sometimes you don't have time to measure the exact amount of each ingredient but you have ONE job and it's making drinks, that's why you should try every drink that you make, just like a chef in the kitchen you have to know you are giving quality drinks and most of all consistency.
The place itself (decor, ambience) five stars
The place it's sooo cool, love the decor, love the location, the rustic feeling.
The service was ok, they were busy,
I asker my server coffee and she said no coffee was served in the patio but we saw people having Coffee so we asked the manager if there was coffee allowed in the patio and she said yes of course...
We are probably gonna go back and seat inside, make a reservation (they were full inside and the wait was an hour) and hope the bartender inside has a clue in the drink making.
