Mex-I-Can't even eat this!

I was completely underwhelmed by the experience here. After planning on dining here for sometime I was really looking forward to the "best mexican in the city" as i had heard however was completely let down. The wait for our dish was extremely long and the waitstaff was not inviting and pretty much just didnt care. Teh most disappointing part however would have to be the food. The quesadillas had watery meat and fell apart when you attempted to eat them which was more than irritating and the Chimichanga contained more lettuce than it did anything else (pretty sure there shouldnt be lettuce at all), the meat inside was watery and the sour cream even more watery which i didnt think was possible at all. After paying we through the meals out and went somewhere else for dinner.... very very disappointing.

Great Food and a wonderful atmosphere.

This was my first visit. I was very impressed with the great service, the good food, the atmosphere and the look of the place. The food was really good, the drinks cold. To top it off, a little slice of birthday cake was brought out with a candle and Mexican hats and the servers sang happy birthday to my daughter who we were celebrating her birthday. They noticed the button she was wearing announcing that she was the birthday girl. We were all surprised. Just some information Serves meat, veg options available. Mexican restaurant. Many menu items can be made vegetarian or vegan upon request. Gluten free, large portions. Veg options are cooked separately from the meat. Tortillas made in-house. There is a small store and gallery on the premises. Cash only.

Great food, be ready to wait

Came in on a Friday night around 8pm. The only table available was right next to the drafty door, smack dab beside the waiting area. So we told the hostess we were willing to wait. Every group that came in after us did the same. We waited about 20-30min to be seated, which it fine. I know it's a busy night. However, I was a little peeved when the group who came in 15min after us, got seated, served drinks and appetizers all before our server even came by to greet us. As soon as the server arrived, we ordered right away to try and minimize our wait time. It was busy, so our food took some time. Eventually.. our table got the Tostadas and Burrito. There was obvious waiting time still for the rest, so we told the others to start eating. 10-15 minutes later Halfway finished, the Chilli arrives. The hostess can by to ask if everything was alright, I told her that my food has not arrived and she says she'll check. I ordered the Chimichangas. Several times during the wait, several food runners stopped by to ask me if I ordered the tacos or burritos. The even waiter stop by after another 10 minutes and asked be what I ordered! It is likely that they brought it to the wrong table, but no one bothered to inform me... Finally, my food came out when everyone was finished eating. I ate half of it, it was very filling. Then asked for a take out container, again... I had to ask several times. Disappointed, we decided to just get the bill and go home. By this point, the restaurant wasn't even half full with 3-4 waiters still on duty most people already had food on their table. But it still took another long wait to get someone's attention for the bill. We had to ask three times and probably waiting another 20mins. Meanwhile, we saw our server just standing the corner trying to figure out what to do with himself. Overall, the food was delicious, the burrito was very tasty. The Chimichanga was a little heavy for my likings However the terribly slow and sub-par service makes me unenthusiastic to give it another shot unless I am really craving the food. I used to waitress myself, so I am on average more patient than my company, always the one giving the benefit of the doubt.... We aren't the type to make a big fuss. I know it was probably bad luck and I got the one bad server, but there seemed to be a lack of team work between the other wait staff. Or inconsistency in service, the other table arrived, was served more quickly and was out the door 20min before us. They weren't quick eaters... I saw another table get personal service from the chef and hostess. Either way, I am unimpressed.

Excellent Mexican

I'm so glad we heard about this place because we never would have gone in if we had just walked by. We expected slow service so we were pleasantly surprised to be served quickly. The food was really, really good. The medium sauce was just enough to give a light burn and tingle, just the way we like it. The decor was run down, but just what we expected, so it just seemed quaint. Food service was excellent, but it took a very long time to get our bill. We will be back soon.

best mexican in the city

this place is a dump i was actually a little afraid to go in but that being said once you get over that best mexican food by far . i had actually just returned from a 5 star resort in mexico 2 days befor we tried this place and mexico didnt even compare. our waitress encouraged us to order quickly as the food is all made fresh to order so it takes a while it was very busy and the staff is a little forgetful i actually had to get up and get my own napkins and cutlery for the table. we orderd guacamole which is a must and cactus quesidillas both amazing!!. i had the chicken enchiladas another member in our party had the super bouritto which was enough for 2 and chimichangs with homeade chorizo and tamales. they were all served with beans and rice. they had a great selection of beer for those who enjoy a beer with there meal overall great place to go for a casual night out if you are a fan of mexican food. cant wait to go back
