| - My GPS tells me I'll be there right after I make a left at the next set of lights. I see a Police Cruiser turn where I'm headed, fine. I see another Police Cruiser Inch-by-Inch craaaaawl forward blocking my opportunity to turn. Okay I get that I'm not in the nicest of neighbourhoods anymore, but do you really have to block me from my Food?
The Strip Plaza is quite rundown and some shops weren't even open for business this early evening. A Public Library was at the further end while Mi Pueblo sits closer to Weston Road. The large windows allow me to see that typical Latin American orangey painted walls that seem to be at every restaurant in Toronto serving Latin style chow. It's a better looking interior than expected, it has the essentials of a clean Salvadorean flair dining space. At least the TV was, since it was showing a Spanish speaking Drama.
One of the 2 women from the Kitchen comes out after awhile to give me a Menu. No water was provided or offered so after ordering the Food, I went to the Drink Fridge next to the small-scale Dry Goods Shop to pick up a Sidral Mundet(Apple Soda $2.00). The women didn't speak much(maybe English barrier) and didn't seem too enthusiastic but I'm not there to pick her up, so just get me the Food please. Don't come expecting this as a full service restaurant.
From a Menu of Aperitivos(i.e. Seafood Cocktails), Tipicos(i.e. Yuca con Chicharron), Sides(i.e. Tamales), Pupusas(!), Sopas, Platos Fuertes(Mains), Platos Mixtos(Mixed). I chose the following:
#21. Revueltas Pupusa(Mixed [Beans, Cheese & Pork $2.25) - It came with a side of Tomato Sauce & Spicy Slaw taken from the Drink Fridge. It's not bad and resembles a bit of Burrito ingredients when I got to the interior Mixes of the Cheese, Beans & Chicharron. I wished I had followed the next group of people inside the restaurant because that's all they had for Dinner, PUPUSAS.
#42. Bandeja Salvadorena(Salvadorian Platter)(Carne, Chicharron, Platano Frito, Arroz, Frijoles, Huevos, Ensalada, Tortilla $15.95) - The women gave me the Cutlery after the dishes came. I got this sad-looking Knife that couldn't even poke a HOLE through a piece of paper. At least they know that no one can rob them using their own Cutlery.
Cutting through the Carne was table-shaking teeth-grinding madness, Beef was Flank variety Minute Steak style thickness. I've experienced better while the Fried Plantain, Egg, Beans were the better of the bunch, I was not impressed by the Salad, undercooked Rice, nor the while crunchy but super dry Pork(Chicharron). Let's not get me started on the missing Tortilla, but even with it this meal can be considered good value for the price due to the amount of Food provided.
