| - Very disappointing, inauthentic Mexican meal.
A friend and I were walking down the plaza and were drawn into the restaurant by its cute, attractive and bright Mexican decor.
The atmosphere and service were good, but the food was just bad. First, to be greeted by a server asking if we're familiar with Mexican food is a little off-putting in 2015, especially in a neighbourhood that is just booming with taquerias and other Latin American restaurants.
First there was the tortilla soup. I love tortilla soup. This one was just a simple translucent chicken broth soup with tortilla chips in it. No spice, no peppers of any kind, no tomatoes, no cream, and grated cheese instead of queso fresco. When I asked the server why the soup was so bland and had no peppers in it, he replied : "oh, we don't put any in, cause some people don't like spicy food. (?!?!?!?!?!?)
The tacos were edible, but the tortillas were quite hardened and didn't taste fresh. Lastly, we had the enchiladas mole, served with plain overcooked white rice with absolutely no spices in it. The mole tasted super sweet and pre-made. We weren't able to finish it.
