He cooked our food promptly and everything was delicious. It was my first time trying chimichangas and now I can tell everyone I'm a big fan of chimichangas. It's basically an extreme burrito. Deep fried tortilla with a protein of your choice, mixed with the perfect blend of spices, peppers and cheese... so good. Looking forward to trying the paella and flautas next time. Don't be fooled by the low key setup, the food and service are definitely worth the visit!

At quick glance it was well lit and seemed proper. The terrace is cute. I took a tortilla soup and a chicken pupusa. The soup was extremely salty that I basically left it almost full. The pupusa was not flavorful at all and even with the salsa and pickles, I was not impressed. I am hoping that this was due to an off-day or something, as the location itself is promising. But otherwise, I will not be coming back, unfortunately.

Desperate to find and air conditioned spot to watch the World Cup, we ended up at Los Planes…read more Admittedly, it wasn't the type of spot we envisioned but it held us over for an exciting game. The lone waiter on this day was nice, though he could have been more aggressive trying to keep people fed and drinking given how few people were there. We mentioned 2 times that we wanted a pitcher of sangria, but he came out with red. It was pretty, and he mixed it at the table. It didn't have much complexity, though, and usually I like my sangria a little booze-ier. There's also currently a 1L Kronbacher beer special for $10. While well-priced, the food was pretty meh. The guacamole ($6) was small and needed more flavor. The tacos were also not very tasty and wet, so the tortilla part broke very easily. Maybe we just didn't order the right stuff. Thankful for the option on that day, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go again.

The clientele we saw tomorrow was of legal drinking age. Had their version of guacamole. Never had cucumber in any I've ever had, before. Maybe, it's Quebecois thing. It wasn't bad; just different. The avocado salmon is garnished with micro greens and edible flowers, it was good. I had chicken enchiladas in an ancho chili sauce, Mexican rice and refried beans, come with a mixed salad in a molded corn tortilla bowl; it's edible too. There was sufficient shredded white meat inside, no sauce though inside the enchilada to moisten it. Since I'm in Canada I had Molson beer. Service was prompt, polite, and professional. It's not over the top Mexican decor. Some wall art. Odd they played bachata music, in a Mexican themed franchised restaurant.

When you walk in the restaurant is quite small but they don't let that stop them from setting up a small shop where you can pick up a few items like Mexican candies, hot sauces action figures and more. Once you move past that you get to order so many amazing options from the menu! I started with a tortilla soup, esquites and was already in heaven. For mains we had gotten shrimp tacos (which came in the option of having the battered or grilled) and of course a tamales plate with two different options. Each dish was amazingly tasty and brought so many different flavours. Having recently gotten back from Mexico this was definitely replicating original flavours! You gotta stop in and give yourself the gift of they're menu!

I also asked for a bag for my food and was handed a tiny plastic one (probably meant for pita bread) with attitude. No sauces were given either. To top it off, when I asked for a drink, they put it in a flimsy plastic bag that leaked all over my tacos, ruining the entire meal. They didn't want to offer any refund or make new ones.I ended up wasting over $30 (plus tip) on food I couldn't even eat. Completely disappointed. Do not waste your time and money!

Combined with their choices of spicey sauce and it simply makes it more tasty. I'd recommand using the least spicy sauce because althought the most spicy sauce is great but it kind of overshadows the taste of tacos. Out of curiousity, I tried the Chaparritas drink, and really loved the soft taste of it. Definitely would recommand this. The only inconvinience is that they only take cash. They do have an ATM but the fees :'( 100% coming back... with wacks of cash in hand to try all their tacos
