| - I would have loved to have written a review that included the taste of the actual food, but this unfortunately will be exclusively based on service as I was denied the honour to eat here.
The brilliant decision to deny me their food was simply because they refused to give me the tacos without raw onions on (every taco comes with them). I was asked if it was an allergy (which it isn't), but i did warn them that it causes me to puke on their bar and to just leave them off. However they said, and i quote: "we don't make any substitutions of any kind". I wasn't asking for them to get one of their nubile servers to menstruate in a cup so they could make me a period-aioli for my beef cheek taco (which for the record should probably be a special here), I was only asking to leave off one of the ingredients. Incompetent cookie-cutter COOKS refuse substitutions, real CHEFS thrive at opportunities to challenge their creative side and charge accordingly.
You guys aren't purest from Italy protecting the culinary integrity of your region, you are a glorified Queen St. taco stand. Just pull out the old mandolin, shave me some radish, dump on your shitty mayo, leave off the onions, and take my money = how business works!!
Also there's a big sign that says "no splitting bills" (see the posted pic). This is kinda crazy to me, i've worked in the service industry my whole life and its well founded that you always get a better tip when you allow bill-splitting because each person rounds up to the nearest logical denomination (as opposed to a group of 4 monolithically rounding up to one number). I guess math is also an issue for these servers.
I will say this however, the food looked good and for anyone going who doesn't have an aversion to onions, please drop off a GED book for the servers' down syndrome math skills, and a subscription to Forbes magazine for the owners' piss-poor business skills.
If this place wants to be more authentically mexican I suggest working harder to make a buck!
