The rice and bean plate was better than most as the rice was near perfect if not somewhat cold.
The beans were awesome, rich dark brick red in colour, perfect consistency not runny and pale like some places.
Pico de gallo was fresh as was Gaucamole.
I ordered the Fajitas Del Mar which is the sea food version that has shrimp, scallops, fake crab and a slab of whitefish. All of this was properly cooked.
The letdown was the onions and peppers that were over cooked to the point of being almost mush.
The chips and salsa tasted good, just small sized.
In closing I will definitely be back here again at some point to try other things on the menu.
It filled me up and I even had to get a to go box and the portions of the Fajitas were generous.
Needless to say I could not fit dessert, but they do have 7 great options. Check out the pictures included with this review.
This place was delicious. My wife had the Fajitas Tropical, I had the Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos, and our 2 year old had a taco. We started off our meal with chips -n- salsa and quickly added some Queso Dip. The salsa was tangy, bright and refreshing while the Queso Dip was savory and creamy with a hint of spiciness. Also, they use a quality chip.
First, the Fajitas Tropical was what my wife ordered. I tasted it and I thought it was good. I could definitely taste the pineapple in the dish. I did think that it could have been warmer and more flavorful, but it wasn’t bad. My fish tacos, however…Wow! Each taco is about a 3-biter and I really recommend the Salsa Más Picante (super spicy salsa) to put on top. My plate was complete with 3 tacos and lime slices for squeezing. Do yourself a favor, squeeze the lime onto your taco.
The Fried Ice Cream dessert was basic, but good. I personally love hard-packed and hard-frozen ice cream and this dessert delivered the goods.
I did not use the restroom facilities, so I am unable to report about those. The wait staff were both friendly and timely. I barely had my lemonade gone when they were bringing another.
So, here’s the breakdown: The taste of my meal was phenomenal, a 10/10. The cleanliness of the restaurant was great, a 10/10. Finally, the value of the food vs. cost. I thought that the fajitas were a little pricey so I am going to give the experience an 8/10. Therefore, that’s a 28/30 = 93.33% = A.
I would definitely return and plan to do so soon.
