| - I was really looking forward to eating here, based on all the great reviews and of course, the photos depicting the amazing feasts eaten here every day.
I've had one other Kamayan feast experience in Toronto and it was more than double the price of Tinuno. However, if given a choice, I'd sooner throw down the extra cash at Lamesa than eat at Tinuno again.
I found that the food here all tasted the same, as everything was cooked in the same manner. It looks good, and the portions are certainly quite generous for the price, but there was really nothing special about the meal. The ambiance is certainly not great (we dined upstairs) and it felt like we were eating in an office as opposed to a restaurant. It was cramped and uncomfortable. I guess they just try to get as many people in and out as they can, in order to generate any kind of profit. I don't know how else they can make money when they're only charging $15 per person. I'm sure the food quality is not very high, otherwise they'd be losing money hand over fist.
Still, it was an interesting experience. Cheap enough that it's not a big regret, but not good enough to make me want to return.
