| - After some strong suggestion from a Latino friend and reading the good reviews over here about this place, it stayed in the back of my mind to discover for some time now until about three weeks ago where I finally decided to give it a try.
I called on a Wednesday to reserve for Saturday of the same week for six for my wife's BD but the girl said they were booked solid. Hmmm, Harry thinks wow, this is a good sign and one more reason to go there.
As one of my meme profile pictures here, what you see and read online and what you get in real life, are like McDonald's ads vs reality. This place happened to fall in that category unfortunately. Not looks wise anyway but others. I say unfortunately bcs after all I was the one to convince my small group to come here hoping to see them leaving satisfied and also I'm not trying hard to discredit or disrespect anyone over there. But I happened to be a straight shooter. Here are my three paragraphs on why it didn't sit well with me:
- Mariachi playing good music but man was it long and loud! Way too loud for a fairly small place. We couldn't hear each other talk so we gave up on that after feeling our throats hurt from screaming. Not only that, when after receiving our order, we noticed we were short by two items. After some time of waiting we had to call the waitress over and of course she apologizes saying she didn't hear. Duh, with that level of noise, I don't blame the poor lady.
- Although food presentation looked authentic and neat for a Mexican cuisine, the taste satisfaction landed somewhere far away from it. Tortilla soup, one of my favourite, missing lime? After asking for lime slices and adding it there, it came close but still far by a mile and half from the one we had in Mexico. The guac entre missing lime and salt? Man it felt like some smashed avocados with bits of tomatoes. That's it. Bland at the best. We had to pimp the ride for that also with lime and salt and a bit of hot sauce we asked for. The beef strips for the fajita, chewy. I had to take the unmelted pieces discreetly out of my mouth into a napkin.... a good 4-5 times at least out of the two fajitas I had. The chicken and the shrimps were ok tho. In general, everything on the table was mild, not your typical spicy Mexican grub here, it's "Canadianized" IMO. One more, 6 tortillas for order of fajita for two for $35 is NOT enough! We had extra meat left on the plate but no tortilla and didn't ask for more bcs we knew they'd charge extra.
- Margaritas are prepared from that slush machine you see at the back of the store. I had a sip and tasted liked a cough medication. No thanks, I'll stick with my beer for the night.
Conclusion: The price and value you get here are not a match and don't think I'll be returning. Having said that, believe it or not, a couple of people on my table were satisfied with their meal. These people are my family, my family people! I think my theory is right about Taste. It IS a funny thing indeed.
Go and find out for yourself. This is the opinion of one person. What can I say.
