| - Worst Mexican food I've ever had. And I'm not picky when it comes to food in general. I mean, Taco Bell would've made me happy, but El Caballito was in our vicinity. I was craving margaritas and Mexican food after a Jays game with my husband and this was just a total let down and waste of tummy space. I've been to the patio for drinks before and loved the vibe of this place. I had high hopes due to the good reviews. The indoor area is cute with a nice ambience, but it's hard for me to say any positives about the food. A two-star is being generous - only because the server was nice. My meal started with the most sour margarita ever (that tasted virgin). It was like all lime juice/bar lime and no tequila. I usually down drinks (especially alcoholic ones) really quickly, but this was one nursed until the end of my meal. I'm used to paying $15 for cocktails at trendy downtown bars/restaurants and for the most part, they have all been tasty and worth it (and actually had alcohol in it). This was just sad bc I love my alcohol lol Our pico de gallo was basically chopped onions with an excessive amount of lime juice and 3 cherry tomatoes that were halved. I love extra lime in my Mexican food, but if I'm making a pucker face with every bite, that is not normal. The taro chips were the best part. We ordered the pork empanada and I could not eat more than one bite. It was drenched in sauce and feta cheese? I thought feta was a Greek thing? Anyways I couldn't taste any of the actual pork empanada because of the shit ton of saucy toppings. Who knows if there was an actual empanada under there. ? For the tacos, we had the carnitas, spicy shrimp, and baja fish. First of all, they were all bland and the tortillas tasted weird and very floury. The carnitas were meh, the spicy shrimp was dry and not spicy at all and the baja fish maybe had like a finger nail sized piece of fish. It was all batter!! Disappointing at $6 a taco. I seriously would've preferred a crunch wrap from Taco Bell instead. Go visit places like Seven Lives or Grand Electric instead for your taco fix. I would maybe only come back to have drinks on the patio.
