This place has been open for about 3 weeks. They're sign is a little small but you can't really miss them.
Upon walking in I was impressed by the decor and ambiance. Lively music was playing and the server greeted me warmly. Being that it was 4:00 in the afternoon there wasn't anyone else in the place so I had my choice of table. I probably chose the worst seat in the house. It was a raised booth and it was tight. The benches were too close together so you have to negotiate your foot space with the person sitting across from you so you're not stepping on each other's feet or knocking knees. The table also is not a floating table so you have the legs to contend with also.
The drinks menu has some great selections. I choose the Chimichanga Caesar. It was quite delicious! Nice and spicy, just the way I like them.
Unfortunately the food was not that great. They have a large selection of burrito types, but no carnitas. They have carnitas tacos, which I selected after the waiter told me they wouldn't do a carnitas burrito. The tacos were REALLY bland. The meat was moist and tender, with just the right amount of fattiness but lacked any sort of flavour. The guac was probably the most disappointing part of the meal. If they mix anything in with the avocado, you can't tell. I've made better guac at home. The rice was also tasteless and just seemed to be a pre-packaged mix with little pieces of carrots and what-not.
Other disappointing things:
- the menus were typed in Word, laser printed on white paper, and stapled (I'm guessing their professional menus are still in the works?)
- the music all of the sudden stopped about 15 minutes after arriving and the staff didn't notice until we were leaving
- After dropping off the bill the waiter did the famous disappearing act that happens so often.
FYI:
This is the same owners as the location at Yonge & Eglington. The only difference is that the head chef has tweaked the menu a bit and the menu has more of a lunch focus for the downtown 9-5 crowd.
