Meal: dinner
My thoughts:
I came here with two friends whom I hadn't seen in awhile, and we were looking for a fun, lively environment. I was in the mood for Mexican and used my Google skills to find a good Mexican restaurant.
Guacamole Ranchero ($9.95): I consider guac to be a pretty simple dish to make, and to attest to that, I make it on a regular basis. But this doesn't taste like the guac I normally make. This was oh-so-creamy, with just the perfect amount of lime juice to give it some major kick and some other seasonings that made the flavour very intense (in a good way).
Here is a picture of the coke my friend ordered. I just thought the addition of the Mexican flag was cute.
Enchiladas Mexicanas with green (mild) sauce ($12.95): The salad was very basic (I'm not a fan of lettuce salads and they aren't nutritious) but the enchiladas were really good, especially with the refried beans. The sauce turned out to suit out tastes perfectly. My only gripe is the serving size was quite small for the price.
For dessert, my friends and I had:
Churros: ($3.50) This is a Mexican deep-fried specialty. If you've ever had Tiny Tom Donuts, this is what this reminds me of. Light and crispy, with a light dusting of cinnamon and sugar. Yum.
We all loved this place. The place was clean and the decor warm and inviting. There was some lively Mexican music playing in the background, which added to the fun atmosphere.
