| - Meh...as in meh-xpensive and meh-xican (not very mexican)...
I've eaten there before.
Had brunch there recently with the kids. There is a kids menu, and while the staff new of its existence they didn't know what was on it and what was on it was not quite available, and the drinks that were supposed to be included in the kids menu were added to our bill until we asked that they be removed.
Service was friendly although a tad clueless as I said already and they don't seem to know much about serving families. My eggs were ordered "over easy" and came "sunny side up". Whatever. Ther were also fried in bacon fat a bit heavy and salty-tasting but again, whatever. Wife's scrambled eggs were disgusting, brown and overcooked to total dryness, also probably in bacon fat. GROSS.
Also, 2 half pieces of bacon is actually only 1 full piecs, and 1 piece of bacon is not enough.
The only absolutely inexcusable thing there is the guacamole, which is all wrong, both in texture and taste. Do you guys put mayo in there or something? $11 guac should be, you know, good. Let me tell you how to make it, it ain't hard: Avocado, don't mash it too much! Lime, tomato, onion (not too much!), salt and cilantro. That's IT, it's hard to do badly, but you manage to blend it like it's a margarita. EW is all I could say. ON the other hand, your fresh salsa was very good.
Brunch for 2 adults and 2 kids, wth a side of guac ended up being over $60. That's overpriced unless it's very good, and it wasnt. Actually going over this review I realize 2 stars is too much, so I'm going back to change to 1 star and I'm not coming back here unless it's for beers or margaritas and just chips and salsa.
If you want good Mexican food there are more and more places opening up, Milagro will have to step up it's game once Torontonians get exposed to good Mexican food. (Try the breakfast at Tacos El Asador. No bacon but the BEST breakfast in town, for less than $7.)
