| - Had heard of this place through word of mouth, not to mention passed it dozens of times when in the neighborhood, but had never gone in.
This particular, GORGEOUS Tuesday morning in March, a friend and I were on the hunt for Mexican using the GPS in her car. Traveling east on Bloor from Etobicoke, we'd stopped at two that showed up on the GPS, only to find them both closed that time of day. So driving aimlessly, we got to the U of T area and I remembered to stop into the Mexi-can Market (a small grocer with imported Mexican stuff). While in there, we decided to check out Sneaky Dee's.
It is what I expected from the outside. It isn't dirty, but it's a dive. Not much light inside, but enough natural light flooding in from the street. Tables & booths covered in marker from people scratching their initials into everything. A bunch of random junk on the walls and above the bar.
Service not exactly the best either. After asking twice, for water, the waitress made a grunting "huh?" sound, which seemed fitting with the atmosphere. lol
However....the food = to die for. Great selection with lots of vegetarian and vegan options as well. The place is most famous for their nachos, so I will have to go back for those soon. This day I just wanted breakfast. Delicious avocado spring rolls to start, and no, they are not breakfast, but we got them anyway. (two sliced in half, but a decent size, so for two people to split, would just tease the tongue). I couldn't decide between three Mexican dishes, so ordered it customized and ended up with a fried egg on top of a big tortilla, with rice, beans, salad, guacamole and salad. Mushed together it looked gross, but was fantastic. A ton, so couldn't finish it and had the leftovers hours later.
Great prices. I will be back.
