    This is a nice spot for traditional Mexican food. It's in a small shopping mall strip with limited parking during peak hours. They have great outdoor and indoor seating. There was televisions and heat lamps for extra comfort. The food was good. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu.

    Came here for a quick bite and it did not disappoint. Hole in the wall spot that was clean. They took out order at the table and brought out chips with salsa. We placed our order and came out in a few mins. The food was delicious and totally coming back.

    Over cooked chili relleno!

    Received an over cooked chili relleno. Can't believe the chef thought this was acceptable.

    Asada Huarache
    Lynn S.

    This is my second time ordering a huarache. The first time we had an issue with the tortilla being hard. This is the second time they give me a hard tortilla. It's disappointing. my issue this time, I called and placed an order for two huaraches and once i arrived (which took me more than 45 minutes to pick up) they let me know they didn't have any more huaraches. This is ridiculous I don't understand why they don't have better customer service and let us know way ahead of time that they don't have a specific items. do better.

    Menchaca breakfast burrito
    Elliot S.

    Delicious breakfast burrito with steak menchaca. Highly recommend it! The salsa was great too. The server had a big smile when I walked in! Fun ambiance as well.

    Food was overpriced. The service was terrible. And the tables were dirty. Would never go back and would not recommend.

And can also customize sugar levels in every drink! Drinks are tasty and they are average size. I am eager to go back and try their coffees to include the Vietnamese coffee and the cold brew with cold foam!

    Thanks to an opportunity to try this out at a Yelp Elite Event, I had to come back to get some more…read morebecause I truly enjoyed the food - and I found out that Rabano and Chinollo are by the same owners! As Alison C. pointed out, "Chinollo is very unique because it's the owner is Cuban born, Peruvian raised and of Chinese heritage, so the menu is a mix of Latin American and Asian fusion." All credits to them for this because the menu makes so much sense in that light. There are 2 different and super convenient ways to order: If you want to talk to someone, you can go up to the cashiers; if you don't want to talk to anyone, there are 2 self-service kiosks. While there is seating indoors, I've always come after work hours and at that time, it seems to be primarily a to-go restaurant. I've been slowly working my way through their Wonder Bowls option - and what I've tried so far are: 0. Base options: Rice, ancient grains (mix of quinoa and other grains), raw greens, garlic noodle, or even a half-half combo of any two options. I agree with Belle C.'s comment about the garlic noodles in that it's "not garlicky enough for me, but maybe it's meant for the white American palate)". Go to any Asian restaurant, Chinese, Indo-Chinese, Viet, and the garlic noodles have tonnes of fragrant & noticeable garlic in it while this simply did not. I like getting rice or ancient grains (for extra fibre) as my base over the greens or garlic noodles. Overall, a great spot with fast & lovely service, healthy & delicious portions of food (enough for two meals for me), and delicious drinks that I recommend especially for to-go orders after work. Also lovely for workers nearby to sit down or get something quick, filing, and tasty! 1. Baja Bowl (GF, RV): Choice of base. Black beans, sweet corn, avocado, cashew-chipotle sauce, pico de gallo. Choice of free-range chicken, organic tofu or pulled pork. For steak add $1. Other choices of protein also available. I love getting this with tofu for an extra dose of fibre from veggies; that sweetness of sweet corn with the salty-creaminess of the black beans go so well with the creamy sauce. 2. Farm Veggie Bowl (V): Vegan. Choice of base. Best of season grilled vegetables, cashew-chipotle sauce, hydro watercress. Add black beans on request. Available: add protein of choice. One of my favourite veggie bowls; I do recommend adding the black beans for more fibre & protein. Such a delicious and filling bowl that's fresh. 3. Chico Cubano (GF, RV): Choice of base. Pulled pork Cuban style, mojo criollo sauce, black beans, red pickled onions, parsley, sweet plantains. other choices of proteins available. This is my absolute favourite dish specifically because of the black beans; I enjoy it so much that I've been asking for a side of them as well. It's a hefty portion of pulled pork as well and 3 chunky plantains cooked to perfection. I do wish there was little bit more of the picked onions to cut through the fatty pork as well as the mojo criollo sauce, but other than that, if you get a bite of everything, it's delicious. 4. Saltado Peruano (GF, RV): Choice of base. Sauteed onion, tomatoes, huacatay sauce, aji panca, cilantro, potato fries. Choice of free-range chicken or tofu. For steak, add $1. Other choices of protein also available. The huacatay with the steak, onions, and tomatoes is so fresh and filling; I like to dip the potatoes in the aji panca after a few bites of everything else. The potatoes are a thick cut, so it can become a tough bite at times. Pro-tip: Eat this one right away as the potatoes can get soggy pretty quickly. I do wish they gave more aji, but other than that, a delicious dish, especially with steak (which I prefered over chicken or tofu). 5. El Koreano (GF, RV): Choice of base. Grilled certified angus steak, baby bok choy, cucumber, gochujang, house kimchi, sweet umami glaze. Other choices of protein also available. I've had this, but I can't say it's my favourite; I would personally go get banchan from a Korean restaurant and enjoy that as a "bowl" than this. There's something about the house kimchi that I don't enjoy as much as I do from Korean establishments. My real complaint isn't about the food, but the to-go container; since it's not plastic, it gets soggy very quickly and loses shape from all the food in the container, causing it to scrape into the food when I use a spoon or fork to eat. My go-to drink is the Zingy; the blend of tartiness from the lemon, the bright punch from the ginger, and Its ingredients are: Fresh ginger, lemon, mint, pineapple, cayenne pepper, raw organic sugar, sparkling water. My partner likes the honey lemonade, especially because you can adjust the sweetness, and actually taste the honey. Its got freshly squeezed lemon, raw organic honey, organic raw sugar.

Now...gotta keep in mind that food spots around Enclave probably have to pay a ton of money to rent their physical spots here, so I understand them and other places here having to charge more than other businesses elsewhere. The area is always nice, clean and organized. Staff is always super cool with great customer service. Seating area is good, especially since it is shared amongst the other Enclave businesses. Their cute little boxes with the logo make it look hella trendy; which fits their whole atmosphere. The actual salad wasn't bad and I would think vegans would really really really like this place more than us. Their chicken was seasoned pretty damn good. Wished there was more greenery, mandarin oranges for what we paid, but it's expected for a place like this. Stoke Salad is totally worth trying even at least once! Great alternative to the other food places around here too!
