I remember one day driving by Cielito Lindo and seeing it boarded up. I though it was sad because…read moretheir food was amazing and we had enjoyed coming here. Well, little did I know, there had been a fire which had caused the closure of businesses in the strip mall. I'm not in this area often but we happen to drive by it and I saw their sign was there again! My first thought was CHICKEN MOLE!!!! We immediately pulled in and ordered dinner! Our 'old faithfuls' were still in the menu... tabasco combo and chicken mole! We order a takeaway but they are open for dine-in. This restaurant NEVER lets us down. The food is OUTSTANDING and the quality has never wavered. I'm so glad they've weathered all the storms they have faced and are still going strong.

This place is close to where I live, so I wanted to check it out. They always seem super busy. I…read moreordered the Mole Poblano and had horchata. I had some issues with this place. First of all, there are too many table and chairs in the restaurant area. So much so that if someone has their chair pulled out a little bit, it's really difficult to sit comfortably. Secondly, it is very obvious when they are busy the server (singular) becomes overwhelmed very quickly. We didn't receive chips and salsa as is normal for a restaurant like this. Also my drink never came because the person said he was off his rhythm. I don't think it's a rhythm, I think you have too many tables for a restaurant of that size, even without taking into account take out orders or delivery apps. The food I had was very good though. I loved the mole sauce, it was not too choclatey, and not too spicy. It was very well balanced. My partner had the Pollo poblano though, and there was not a poblano to be seen. I was initially confused why they had Pollo Con Mole and Pollo Poblano but no Mole Poblano. I think it's because there's no poblano used. At the same time it is the best Mexican food restaurant in Pickering.

So came here in a whim. I was craving some tacos and wanted some authentic as opposed to the Taco…read moreBell standard. I ordered the shredded beef tacos and I must inform you all, I had it delivered by Uber eats. First off the tacos were great, lots of flavour and the pico de gallo sauce was extraordinary. Where they failed at least in my books is the price. For 3 tacos it cost $23 WOW. and after Uber eats took their cut, tax and tip. It was a whopping $35. OMG. FOR 3 tacos!!! Price wise this is a definitely NO BUT The flavour and quality was AOK so I'm comfortable with a 3 star rating. If you can afford to be fleeced for some tacos then try this place out Otherwise I will stick to my taco Tuesday at Taco Bell $2 a taco.

As far as the location goes, I must say they have very limited parking spots(but we found a spot). Parking spots were tight. However, there is ample parking at the big box store across the street, and they are on a bus line. They are not near other restaurants but stand out based on the loud Mexican music and big sign that has a Mexican flag Over all the service was friendly, attentive, and quick(especially considering how packed it was) They give nachos on arrival, sort of like how restaurants normally give bread, which were okay , but the salsa was bland. The lime margarita was amazing. I got the beef enchiladas, which were tender and loaded with food didn't quite pack the punch I was hoping for. My mom and my wife got the nachos with chicken;they didn't like it. So I tried it to confirm the following: the nacho platter with chicken was bland, with very little crunch. It looked like it was sitting around for a while as far as value goes, my wife's beer was more expensive than my margarita, which is a plus if you are an alcohol drinker like me but not for a beer drinker, obviously. The portions on my plate were small, but there were so many different items on the plate that blended together fairly well that the small portions didn't matter too much. And lastly, the smell of the place was nonexistent, which is odd IMO for a small restaurant.

They even have a special on Wednesdays and Fridays: buy one set of tacos and get the second 50% off. Bring cash as you get an extra 5% off! Food: Birria Tacos - 5/5 - I never give anything this rating. I don't know if I was just really hungry, but these were the best tacos I've had in the GTA. Truly delicious and the birria sauce just hits the spot. Carne Tacos - 3.8/5 - Still also really good and authentic, but compared to the Birria, probably wouldn't get this again and just stick to the Birria. Rice and beans - 4/5 - Tasty and authentic; it is what it is! Service: 5/5 - The friendliest, cultural staff, with a smile on their face and happy to serve.

Tips: - If you get a burrito here, it's massive…read more - This place has a vegan menu. You may want to bring your own vegan cheese, as this place was out of it at 5:30 pm on a Saturday night. My best friend and I wanted to celebrate our birthdays together, as we have been doing every year for eons. It ended up being in August this year. I did a search and found Los Cabos Cantina & Grill. I liked what I saw and sent her a link to the vegan menu. She was down going here. We came here after waiting for the thunderstorms to die and a good afternoon of retail shopping therapy. We drove over here in our vehicles. I actually missed the right turn into the parking lot. I did quite the 360-degree turn into the parking lot to fix my boo-boo. I nabbed the closest spot to the back of the eatery. My friend was parked further back. We grabbed our birthday presents and walked in. The patio with floral accents looked lovely to enjoy a dining experience when we aren't under an orange alert for hail and thunderstorms! We were promptly greeted by a young woman. She said that there was only bar seating. It was fine. We got a cozy corner table. I got booth seating. I'm 5'10" and my feet did not touch the ground. My friend is a bit shorter than I am, so I'm glad that we sat where we were. Anthony was our server. He was exceptionally attentive and answered all questions that we had about our drinks and food. My friend got these items: - Water - Pina colada mocktail - Vegan ensenada enchilada The pina colada mocktail is vegan. She loved it. It looked yummy and festive. The downside was that a female staffer, maybe the manager, came over and said that there was no vegan cheese. It was a downer. It was 5:30 pm on a Saturday night. As an eatery with a vegan menu with cheese in many dishes, wouldn't you have stocked up and planned a lot better? She stood there with a smug expression on her face. Okay, so there aren't any alternatives? It felt awkward. Anthony jumped in. He said that he would bring more vegan sour cream. That was better, although my friend would have wanted the vegan cheese. It's the only reason for taking a star off my rating. No vegan cheese for a vegan menu with items containing cheese is sad. My friend asked me if I read Yelp reviews before I visit a place. I typically don't. However, after not having any vegan cheese, I read them. We are probably the only folks who have experienced this issue, as Yelpers haven't experienced a shortage of it. Anyway, she loved her vegan enchilada plate despite not getting any vegan cheese. It looked amazing. She was stuffed and said that it was yummy. I ordered these items: - Diet Pepsi - Big D's burrito platter with shredded chicken I was thankful that I didn't have a large lunch and that we didn't order appetizers. The burrito was massive. It looked like a log in front of me, with rice, refried beans, and cheese, all bundled in a flour tortilla. My friend asked if the log had cheese on top. It was ancho mayo, which provided a smoky, tangy taste to each burrito bite that I had. It was delicious. The shredded chicken was tender. Everything in the burrito was perfect. It took me a long time to finish it. This platter had refried beans, rice, and salsa. I felt like I got twice the amount of refried beans and rice in this dish. It was extremely filling and flavourful. My friend asked me how many Diet Pepsi drinks I got. I kind of lost track. Shopping makes me thirsty. I also needed to down this massive burrito with a beverage or many. I think I had four drinks. It may be a record. Each one was cold, fizzy, and the perfect amount of syrup. We opened our presents. It was nice doing it in a quiet, practically private corner. It was the perfect place to celebrate us and catch up. My friend using the washroom first shortly after we had sat down. I went towards the end of our meal. The women's washroom is by a small wall smack between the dining and bar areas. It's a single stall. Clean. No complaints. Anthony was great. He always made sure we were good. We paid at the table. He brought dual payment machines. Nice! We talked about my friend's plans to go camping. It led to talking about seeing bears and moose. I have seen both, but on road trips in Manitoba and Ontario. Despite the vegan shortage, we had a fabulous time. The food was delicious and fabulous. Our server was excellent. (346)
