  • A friend of a friend flagged this new-ish Richmond Hill spot for me recently, letting me know that a real quality place was getting (in his words) slammed on yelp. He said, hey go check it out and give it an honest review.... ok ok ok. Mexican Food close to home, twist my arm LOL From a decore stand point this place looks great. Great layout, Bright vibrant, Clean. I'll agree with a previous review that the booths have something funky going on with the table height to seat height ratio. I'm comfortable 6'1 and I felt like a little person sitting in these booths. The ambiance was set by traditional Latin music played at appropriate dining level (not too loud) One thing I though was interesting was the set up here, it has a take out/subway/mr.pita style set up with the sneeze guards and fresh veggies as soon as you walk in, and you MUST walk through it to sit down and dine. This could be confusing for people thinking that this is strictly a sit down place....rest assured they have that too, just make it to the hostess station. Once seated I found the staff to be very friendly and attentive, checking with me regularly on my order. Best of all they made very strong/specific recommendations for the best of the best of the menu. An Item of specific note is that they must be reading their reviews because following my order I was brought chips and salsa verde free of charge. Previous reviews complained that this came at a charge. Chips were kinda stale-ish but the salsa verde was limey and a great pre meal snack. I was hungry...I would have eaten the table if there hadn't have been any chips. Following my servers recommendation I ordererd the burrito carnitas (pork) and opted for black over brown beans. Here is my honest evaluation of what I was served. Pros: - decent size - included pico de gailo - included guacamole on top with order (no extra charge :)) - price pretty good @$12 - cheese melted on top (interesting new way of trying) - The extra hot habanero sauce was tasty and full of fire - it really made me sweat! - The provide your own bottles of sour cream and chipotle sauce to the table to add at you own discretion. I liked this as Sour cream has a tendency to cause me pain. Cons: - some of the pork was a little dry but others were cooked well. Although I felt it was a tad light on the meat - lots of rice.... I have a feeling it might have been sitting as it was a little dry - That side of hot sauce I ordered came at a price tag of $2 - Which my server FAILED to inform me of Overall it would appear that they're improving from where they've been. I still think that paying $6 for a single Corona is ludicrous anywhere north of Finch - that would be something to look at (you guys are NOT Toronto...don't charge Toronto prices). Perhaps they're heading in a good direction. I'll check back in a couple months again. I give this spot and HONEST 2.5 stars, but because I'm in a nice mood (and we dont do 1/2 stars) I'll round up to 3....for now. But I've got my eyes on you Amigo....I've got my eye on you! PS - one last thing...TAKE DOWN YOUR BLASTED "GRAND OPENING" SIGN!!! Youve been open for months now....its not working!!! Jeeezzz
