| - FOOD
Overall, Meh because they don't seem to know how to season food or make it craveable.
I ordered one of each taco: fish, beef, and pork. $5 each. I'm a big fan of authentic Mexican food and this is far from that. Served on flour tortillas (not corn). The fish was the best, but really it was the lesser of the three evils. The shredded beef and pork were a bit bland and boring with mushy meat. None were remotely spicy.
$6 Onion rings (battered, not breaded) were not good. Very greasy. I don't think they seasoned them with salt afterwards. Was not a very large serving. Desperately needed ketchup to make them somewhat enjoyable.
Food service was sloooooooow.
A bit offensive that they call their corn appetizer El Chapo Street Corn. I'm not down with glorifying a drug king pin.
It's more fancy than your basic wings and burgers bar, but there isn't anything special about the menu. I think they have an identity crisis.
I do love that they gave us each a tiny chocolate chip cookie wrapped in cellophane and sealed with a sticker with our check. Nice touch. Which is why I gave them 2 stars. Not the best cookie, but obviously a housemade buttery cookie so they get credit for effort.
AMBIANCE
Grafitti on their website homepage makes it seem like they're hip. Shops at Don Mills website describes this as upscale dining. Both give a false impression because it's really just a sterile looking dark bar. Jeans or shorts will do just fine here.
There is a wall of glass door refrigerators for beer bottles, etc. so it looks like you're shopping at LCBO. Open kitchen next to the refrigerators. I glanced over at it and got death stares from the cooks. Yikes!
TVs inside so you won't miss your sports, but didn't notice TVs outside.
I wouldn't entertain clients here. I do like their patio, so I'll consider trying their brunch sometime. Better for a date than for a night out with the guys or gals. It's not really a belly-up-to-the-bar kinda place. Definitely not a pub vibe.
ACCESSIBILITY
It's a bit crowded, but it is pretty much a single level, large restaurant. With a bit of assistance maneuvering around tables, a wheelchair or walker could do fine.
There is a combination of high and low tables inside and on the patio.
A car can pull right up to the curb to let someone out. The doors are large and very heavy, so assistance opening them might be necessary.
