Wow! What a kyoot n tasty place!
I showed up to the area early for an event over on St Cat. A quick Yelp search led me to this place which I had bookmarked ages ago but hadn't got around to trying. I walked right past it despite scouring both sides of the street in search of it (convinced the address was wrong when I entered China Town in search of a mexican place?!?) Sure enough it was the one with the plain black signage with the fancy font La Capital in white, totally unassuming for a mexi joint!
Place was empty-ish when I arrived at 5pm on a Wednesday evening. I was ushered away from a 4-person table in the corner and politely pointed to the few tables they accepted for just 2 people to eat at. But they were friendly throughout the process despite me finding it very strange considering it was ghost town.
I was brought menus and they totally didn't mind that me n my dad just ended up having appetizers, a beer for my dad and a glass of red wine for me. The rest of the food was tantalizing but didn't want to fill up before our event.
Ordered:
- Small guacamole entrée: delicious and fresh, but for someone who loves onion as much as I do...it's a tad too heavy on the onion.
- Frijoles entrée: a bit of a funky taste compared to most black bean dips I've tried but a nice portion, consistency and flavour anyways.
- the beer: well they didn't bring my dad a glass which he was perplexed by, but refused my offer to ask for one for him, so that's on dad!
- the glass of red wine: supposedly a "pinot-esque" wine nourassa or sumthin like that...absolutely DISGUSTINGGGGG and served ice cold booooooo!!! I did not drink it and politely let them know it was terrible when they brought my bill. And the waiter took my bill right back and removed the glass of wine!! I found that super sweet because I wouldn't have even asked for that, I wanted to support the cute place and felt it was my bad for ordering wine in a mexi place. Won bigggg points with me on that account!
Price of everything was ridiculously affordable ! Service was spectacular and friendly and they even brought us extra chips for the dips!!
So totally coming back here to try the tacos n quesadillas!!! Can't wait!
