| - I was treated for lunch here and I do agree that although it might not the best food you will ever have, it is definitely one of the best lunches you will have that day. ;-)
Had the sea bass combo and it was quite enjoyable and for the price you pay (although in my case is was zilch) it is definitely worth making this place a staple. It is inexpensive, healthy and you have choices of salads which can really change the overall flavour/vibe of the lunch.
I had the potato salad, again tasty although the pasta salad was a non-starter. Like a kick-starter without the funds: It sounded good but it failed to go anywhere, although still more than edible.
The bass and calamari were delicious and very well made, along with the colourful spices and sauces and shrimp. When I worked downtown, I ended up going to food cafeterias and paid more than this for lesser quality food, especially in the health and taste department but what can you do? I had no choice but if you work around here... YOU DO!
Besides the company, what made this place great is this... Xtreme Taste is not a restaurant, it is pretty much a take-out joint, you get in the --sometimes long line-up, you order your main, pick your salads, and go to a nearby park (there is one just north of Cumberland) where you can have your lunch on a nice bench surrounded by a soothing shade, comfortable breeze, and bright green trees... like a boss.
Don't judge this place like a restaurant, 'cause it is not. They are purveyors of inexpensive, healthy, tasty food for about half the price you would pay if you went to an average and nearby seat down joint. Personally, I would like to have my lunch outside if I have a choice, so it worked out great for us.
Definitely, a place I will go back again.
