3.5/5, +.5 for service…read more Very small, no frills taqueria on Ness in St. James. It has that cozy, small business family feel here. It wasn't clear on whether it was over the counter service or if they come and provide waiter service when dining in, so I ordered over the counter. I had the pozole and one regular birria taco. The birria taco was very juicy, with plenty of meat and greens. The pozole was good, though I've never been crazy about radish and lettuce being added to soups...I feel like it ruins the authenticity of Mexican food, and my friend who's Mexican agrees with that sentiment. Service was excellent here. I would however say Sargent Taco and BMC are better taquerias in the city, but if you're in the west half of the city and aren't willing to travel closer to the core, this place does its job well.

Everyone in the restaurant that night was waiting and waiting and waiting. Anyhow, fast forward in time, I decided it was time to give this place a second chance. Although this time, I can say that the food service was really prompt! I can't say I am a fan of the suburban location in a giant strip mall as the restaurant has lost some of it's charm from the downtown location. It's a small narrow room that's painted in yellow, blue and some neutral tones - very warm and inviting. We were greeted very warmly by one of the servers there who later on gave us suggestions on what to order and cracked a few jokes with us. This family run restaurant definitely shines with their Latin charms. As for the food, I felt that many of the items lacked the flavour that one expects from Latin food. This is an El Salvadoran place, not Mexican but there are many dishes that are similar to Mexican food. There's a lot of stuff on the menu but it seems to mention the same items in various forms so your best bet are the combination platters. I had Combination Platter #2 which comes with a soup or salad to start, a chicken burrito, two pupusas (pork & cheese and bean & cheese), and a beef enchilada with a side of salsa. I chose the soup to start, even though they say it's "home-made soup of the day", it's always the same soup - a chicken soup with tortilla chips. The soup was a warm and flavourful chicken broth with rice, chicken, green onions and tortilla chips. It had a hint of heat but I could barely detect it. The chicken burrito tasted quite bland. It was filled with home-style rice, chicken breast, & mozzarella cheese. It tasted like plain white rice was stuffed in there with unseasoned chicken. I used a lot of the spicy tabasco tasting sauce on it. The salsa that came with the platter is more on the watery side, not the salsa that one expects but maybe El Salvadoran salsa is suppose to be like that? I didn't find the salsa to be very spicy or flavourful. The pupusas, El Salvadoran specialty, are round tortilla shells that tastes more like a flat-bread with fillings like bean and cheese and pork and cheese (El Salvadoran cheese called "queso"). I found the pupusas quite filling, the overriding flavour was probably the queso cheese, which reminded me of melted mozzarella. The beef enchilada was probably one of the better items in the platter as it offered more flavour. A small fried tortilla disc topped with ground beef, beans, slice of boiled egg, and cheese. I am a fan of the corn tamal that my dining partner had in his combination platter - I enjoyed the sweetness of the corn in this dish. Many of the platters average $16 and you'll likely end up doggy bagging the generous portions. I really wanted to like this place because Winnipeg definitely lacks good Latin food but this place really didn't provide the strong Latin flavours I was looking for so I left a bit disappointed.

Lazy Tuesday, more like Go-getter-Thursday!…read more The expansive menu offered plenty of choices for myself and my 8 Grandsons. We each ordered food from a different part of the world to represent our varied ethnic backgrounds. (My daughter, bless her heart, has adopted several times from all over the world) All 8 grandsons, Hong, Luiz, Demarcus, Jim, Pierre, Benedito, Abir, Franz, all loved the staff and homely feel of this quaint eatery. Being an amateur botanist, I very much appreciated the Ficus tree in the bathroom. Its a very healthy plant and they do a good job with it. If you find a hearing aid, please contact me here.

My main was the daily special; schnitzel with mushroom gravy over spetzle. Wow, so tasty. My partner had a quesadilla and it was better than average.

Would have been 5 starts if there was a better wine selection. Portion size on the special was generous. Finished it for dinner tonight!

+.5 for service…read more Sister location to BMC Market. I've been to BMC Market in South Osborne once, but I haven't gone down there much lately as it's not the direction I go often. I find myself in the NE quadrant of the city a lot, so hearing that BMC opened here really lit me up. Compared to their original location, this place is more modern. Feels a little less authentic, but I didn't mind it at all. The tacos here are still very affordable, but I find their quesadillas even more bang for your buck. I had the chorizo, pastor, and barbacoa quesadillas. All three for $12 total, excellent value! The quality was just as good as the South Osborne location, so you won't be missing anything coming here. Service was excellent here. They have a salsa counter on the side if you wish to purchase ingredients. Highly recommend if you're craving Mexican!
