| - This place is just ok. I go there often because it's close to my office. There aren't any really amazing Mexican places in Toronto anyway.
The guacamole is a bit bland, in my opinion. But it is pure and unadulterated. No fillers like mayo or sour cream, which ruin the texture. I add a little of the complimentary red sauce and I'm happy. The chips are great!
The servers don't all speak perfect English, so they've screwed up my order a few times. I love enchiladas, but one time they brought it in a creamy green sauce and I don't like cream sauce. Also, don't bother paying the extra $2 for white meat. Last time, the meat came burnt. It completely ruined the meal. I stopped ordering the enchiladas because they can never seem to get them right. I think $14 for a dark meat enchilada is very expensive (the prices are higher than the website suggests).
The steak fajitas tasted great. But the meat is low quality and overcooked. Very chewy. Not tender. But the flavour is good if you're not a texture person.
The shrimp and cactus is not a meal. The shrimp are very, very tiny. They were a bit overcooked (seems to be a theme). Once again, the flavor was great. Just wasn't much food and I was hoping for larger, perfectly cooked shrimp.
The drinks are SO EXPENSIVE! Watch out! A mango daiquiri is $7 (and I don't think there is as much alcohol as they claim) and they charge alcohol tax AFTER! Ends up being about $8.50 a drink plus tip. It's delicious, though.
And yes, I am spoiled. I've been to Mexico twice and I've eaten real street food there. I've also had amazing Tex-mex by the Gulf in Florida. I have not found anything in Toronto that even comes close.
