I was SO hesitant to come here since all of the reviews were saying that is was ho-hum (or less than so). But my friend convinced me to come by so I obliged. I can't say no to a taco. And low and behold, the tacos suck (more later). But don't come here for the tacos. Come here for the nachos.
VIBE
Standard. I'd rather talk about the food. The owner, Lindsay, is really nice. She taught me what mole was (that red chile paste that you'll see on your plate). It gives everything a bit of a kick.
WE ATE
Catfish taco - no flavour but nice soft fish
Pulled chicken taco - less flavour --quite a mess with a hard shell
Chorizo taco - pretty good flavour but not sure what they're using as pineapple here. Let it ripen.
NOTE: do not get the hard shell if you can and ESPECIALLY if you are on a date. It is sooo messy and so awkward to eat.
We got guac. MEH. Too much cilantro and lime and it was chunky. It wasn't mushed. I know avocado costs less than $1 Make it worth my while and mush, mush I say!
But the surprise was the nachos. The corn chips were really tasty (I like my salt!) and with the mix of ingredients they had on top of the chicken, was quite good. The small portion is more than enough and reasonable for the cost ($9).
The tacos were not worth it (except chorizo). My benchmark is Grand Electric. When Grand Electric is charging $3.50 for a cod cheek taco and you're selling me bland chicken for $4-6.50 PER TACO it's not worth my value.
DRINK my friend got the tequila, coke and I think sprite cocktail and it was quite good (and I don't drink tequila). I was going to get the sangria but it seemed pricey at $9 for me.
Guac, 3 tacos, nachos, a coke and cocktail came out to $46 with tax, NOT including tip. I was filled but the tacos weren't worth it.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
Not flying here for the tacos, but nachos yes. Get the nachos. Nice to have some Mexican in the Broadview/Queen area.
