This is one of those restaurants where I pass by nearly everyday and never considered it, but finally tried it today.
The food quality really surprised me, however the service could have been better.
We were asked if we wanted any drinks first, so ordered tea, when the drinks arrived, we thought it was complimentary hot water. After a while, we noticed there was a tea bag beside the glass of water, and by that time the water was warm, my Canadian friend complained and got some more hot water.
There was no milk either, so had to request for it too!
When my order arrived, it was not the Vegetable enchilada, but the chicken fajitas, so I had to wait a while for the enchilada to be cooked, so when my food came, I had to eat it quickly.
Anyway at least the waiter apologised for getting it wrong.
The restaurant was rather humid and hot almost as if I was really in Mexico.
Ordered the fire chilli, chicken wrap and vegetable enchilada.
There was salad or vegetable soup with the set lunch, the salad was nicely drenched in vinaigrette with hints of cajun, there were two pieces of artichoke in it.
Main dishes:
Fire chilli: this was basically chilli con carne, rich gravy sauce and beans.
Chicken wrap: basically shredded chicken in wrap with potato salad.
Vegetable enchilada: spinach and mushrooms wrapped like cannelloni, tasted like lasagne when you ate it. On the side of the dish was a generous portion of black turtle beans. I really liked the black beans, it had a dense, meaty texture and flavour reminiscent of mushrooms.
The only complaint was the mushrooms, they used Asian shiitake mushrooms.
Every bite I had was packed with intense flavours, guacamole, salsa, mushrooms, spinach, sour cream, black beans.
When I finished the enchilada, there was some guacamole left and it complimented the Mexican rice perfectly.
Finally when we paid our bill, we noticed there was an extra $2 charity donation on top before the 10% was added. I don’t mind giving to charity, but at least we should have been informed what charity it was donated to and that it was part of the bill before we ordered.
Secondly, I felt the donation shouldn’t have had a 10% on top, because getting charged for giving donation is a bit stupid, also we never requested to.
I suppose these are thing's in life you have to put up with.
