I have only gotten from them three times despite living here seven years because it's always a disappointment. We ordered online for pickup and unfortunately my husband didn't look before making the twenty minutes trip back home. I had ordered gluten free injera as noted online ($3 extra). Luckily the ingredients are listed because I have food sensitivities and I can't have wheat or barley. I specifically asked for gluten free and now I can't eat it. Also, we got two combos with all different foods and nothing is labeled. So frustrating!

If you do like spicy, then you are in for a treat. There is a great selection of both vegetarian and meat dishes and you can get 'sampler' platters that are massive that let you sample a huge range of foods. The name of the business is silly, as they either didn't want to or didn't have the money to change the name from the previous owner (queen bakery location 2). We had traditional Etheopian coffee, which they actually roast the green coffee beans for you then bring them out and let you smell them before they take them back and grind and brew. They will even serve with popcorn??? It was very good (the coffee, that is :) If you like trying the food of different cultures and want something from a mom and pop establishment with amazing service, then this is the place. It's in the industrial part of town, but I hope they get some good traffic.

Since I had never been before I wanted to get the combination plate. I opted for a pupusa, 2 tacos, and an enchilada. For each, I just asked for whichever filling/meat was most popular and what the restaurant would recommend which was the pork. The tacos have two options for topping and I went for #1 which was lettuce, pico de gallo, cilantro, sour cream, and avocado (a thin guacamole rather than pieces). The tacos were good. They looked even better. They came with 2 tortillas each so it was sturdy enough to hold the fillings. The pupusa was nice but not my favourite. I ended up dipping it in the hot salsa and it was nicer. My absolute favourite was the enchilada. It was not what you would expect of a Mexican enchilada, but is instead a Salvadoran enchilada which is very similar to a tostada. That was great! Overall, the food was good. I'd love to return to dine in person because I think it would be amazing in person. Usually takeout is never the same. Hopefully once the lockdown ends I can return and have an even better experience!
