  • Sometimes a huge plate of meat is just a huge plate of meat. An intrepid group of Yelpers, myself included, trekked out to this interesting looking venue last night in the hopes of finding Toronto's best kept South American secret. I'm sorry to say that, based on my experience, there is no secret. Concurrent with some other reviews, the serving sizes are indeed impressive, however, I did not find much of substance or flavour in them. The best thing I ordered was my passionfruit margarita. It was too thick to "drink" for a long time and had huge chunks of ice in it but it was delicious. I ordered the platano con queso (fried plantain with cheese) for an appetizer. To tell the truth I didn't really know what this was going to look like. My impression, based on previous experience with fried plantain, was it it would be pieces of the unripe starchy plaintain friend to a golden crisp with some kind of queso blanco. What arrived was more akin to a fried banana split filled with melted cheese. The plantain was fairly ripe, and therefore both sweet and mushy, not crispy at all. I found the dish to be quite flavourless. For my main I ordered the Chuleta de Cerdo Apanada, which I now know is a fried, breaded pork cutlet. There were two huge cutlets on my plate. a salad of iceberg lettuce with what I can only assume was Kraft zesty Italian dressing and a serving of plain white rice. Although the cutlets were perfectly cooked, there was no flavour to be found on the plate. Luckily, I asked our server for some hot sauce and she brought out a house made salsa piquante which was perfect for both adding flavour and heat to my cutlets. The venue is quaintly decorated in all kinds of gaudy, eclectic paraphernalia. The service could be better. No water was offered and the food seemed to arrive in a very staggered manner. Our server was very friendly and accommodating when she was at the table. I think, if I return, I might try the Mexican options over the traditional Columbian options in the hopes of encountering more flavourful food.
