I was roaming downtown around the Queen Street West area and came by this place. It looked cute and nice from the outside and so I decided to give it a try. I went here on a Monday at around 6-7:30pm and it wasn't that busy. I was seated pretty quickly and didn't have to wait long for a server to come take care of us.
I looked at the menu only to realize that I was at a Venezuelan restaurant which was a first for me. Never tried any type of Venezuelan food before which made me more excited to try the food. The food seemed simple and leaned more so on the healthy side. For the most part, the prices for the each item was averaging around $15 or less.
I tried the la catira. It came with chicken breast, shredded cheese, mayo and tomatoe (I might be missing some other ingredient which I can't remember) with a small spoon of coleslaw.
My opinion: the coleslaw didn't taste the greatest. Definitely was not creamy as I thought it would be. They put a ton of shredded cheese so I had to take some/most of it off. What made this sandwich was the sauces our waitress provided us with. The green pepper sauce, garlic mayo which is their most popular and the hot sauce -- where only a little bit of hot sauce will go a long way (and this is coming from a person who is from India).
Would I come back?
No, although it was interesting to try, I don't think I would want to. I feel like the food was pretty enteric like you could get anywhere. The flavour was okay but nothing to rave about.
Why I gave it four stars and not 3 or less?
Because of the sauces
