    Drink menu

    ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ Just updating with the menu pictures! Service was amazing and chips and salsa was great

    Sean L.

    The decor is fun. Lots of parrot decorations along with toucans, butterflies, suns and moons. The service was acceptable although it was a bit slow to get and pay the bill at the end. (We were the only table at this point) I ordered the enchiladas with diablo sauce. They were smaller than what I was used to. They were tasty but even with the rice, beans and salad that came with it I found myself polishing off the complimentary chips and salsa that came with the meal. The salsa had a weird tomato taste to it (stay with me) it was almost like tomato soup or spaghettios. The diablo sauce was so mild I questioned if they even put it on. Other dishes that were ordered at my table was the nachos and a NY strip steak. The nachos did not have any meat, so keep that in mind if you order them. The steak was cooked very uneven. It seemed to be well done in parts and medium rare in others. I don't know what causes this since it was an even thickness. Overall, I don't think I will be back.

    Fish tacos
    Jessica E.

    Sat in for Monday evening dinner. Gestured to sit by a smiling middle-aged woman. Already knew we were off to a good start. Ordered chorinachos, the enchilada suiza, and fish tacos between 2 people. The chorinachos were unlike anything else... the Mexican sausage did not overwhelm the other ingredients but at the same time took centre stage. It was served pipping fresh with a good amount of crunchy nachos versus nachos completely obscured in toppings, just how I like it. The entrees took a while to exit the kitchen but not a person in the restaurant seemed to be effected by this, I can justify insofar that when it did arrive on the plate before me there was only love. Just love. The enchilada was a delicious extravagance of beef, cheese, sour cream, and green tomatillo sauce. Though it was not seasoned (read: over-seasoned) to my usual taste, only deep appreciation for the interaction of ingredients as they should taste could be had. The fish tacos were good but the least outstanding of this meal. No complaints but would explore other menu options before reordering them. The service and interior of the restaurant was nothing short of charming, however quirky the bird decorations were. I would recommend this hidden gem in Pickering to everyone.

    My brother and I were really craving Mexican food but didn't want to drive out far from where we were. Searched on Yelp and found this place 5 minutes away from home. It seemed to be a small little family owned restaurant, in the plaza beside Swiss chalet. The woman who was serving us was incredibly nice & welcomed us right away. The food took a little longer than I would like it BUT it was so worth it because it was well cooked, and was delicious. You could tell that the owners appreciate the business they get and really take the time to make sure their food is served well & full of flavor. Will definitely be coming back again to order. New favourite spot in Pickering.

    Today's special

    Visited their Pickering location last week and ordered camarones nopalitos and a acapulco combo. While we were waiting, they served us some house made tortilla chips with their very well balanced red sauce for dipping. Soon after arrived 6 large shrimps cooked perfectly in a slightly tangy and spicy green cactus sauce in my very reasonably priced appetizer with a side of garlicky bread. The beef burrito and chicken enchilada were both very flavourful in a mild red sauce (tasted similar to the sauce they served with their tortilla chips earlier) with moist meat inside. They are now licensed and we enjoyed bottled tecate with our meal. The meal was very satisfying and we will definitely return to try their steak.

    Camarones with Borrachos (aka wine and garlic sauce)
    Erika R.

    Went with a girlfriend of mine a few nights ago and I was reminded once again why this pace is one of my favourite places to go. Of course we had the Chorinachos and for once I decided to have the Camarones with the Borrachos sauce (wine and garlic sauce). Only down part is that there were only about 5 pcs of shrimp, however they were cooked to perfection. My friend, who was a first time visitor to the restaurant, had ordered the Basa Fish which I had a piece of and it was perfection. The large fish filet was lightly battered and perfectly fried. It was covered with the most amazing tasting sauce which was also accompanied by a generous amount of shrimp. What was very impressive was how crispy the fish was even with all the sauce. This is probably the best fish dish I've ever had in town (GTA). The next best fish dish I've had and will never forget is Red Snapper at Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita in Mexico so that says a lot! This particular dish is part of their special menu but great news; it will be part of their new menu very soon. Definitely 5/5.

    Nachos and salsa to start with mango juice
    Veronica J.

    Complimentary appetizers at a resto is seldom that when I actually get it from a casual dining spot I'm happily surprised! Nothing fancy but the nachos and simple salsa were a great start. The chimichanaga entree was good. I tasted the beef. It could've been seasoned more so of course I reached over for my partner's mole sauce and covered my chimichanaga with it! Mole sauce on errthing! The chicken enchilada with mole sauce was the better dish. The mole sauce is slightly sweeter than I'm use to- more sweet than spiced but I liked it like that! This is my 4th time here. The closest Mexican resto spot in Scarborough without having to venture out downtown. Ya know when you're from Scarbs, anywhere outside of it is a little journey! Lol

    If you want fine-dining, this place isn't for you. But if you're looking for a home cooked taste and feel, you'll love this place. The owner is a sweetheart and the food is very delicious. Restaurant reminds me of the old authentic Mexican Restaurants we used to have in Toronto (Bloor & Bathurst) before the big chains opened up. We enjoyed it!

    Tabasco

    So let me start with, ok the decor inside is very interesting and bold. Interior could use a facelift. However, for my first time me and friends ordered the beef nachos. They were good, 7.8/10, could use a little more flavour or a kick of heat but good app to start. I then ordered The Tabasco. 8.2/10 because portion size was big and filling and that it's tasty comfort food. It's worth the price just by eating the rice, salad, beans and the beef tortilla, I was still able to have the chicken tortilla packed for to go. My friends ordered the Enchiladas and rate it at 8.2/10 as well. For dessert, I ordered a Caramel Flan. I love flan and this was not your typical soft, jello like soft consistency, this was more dense, and a bit cakey consistency as you can see from the picture. It was still yummy just a different type of flan and presentation is cute. Flan is a 8.7/10 The tres leches was very moist and like a wet pound cakey, alright nothing crazy great, 7.5/10

However last night I had the pleasure of visiting the restaurant on a Tuesday night and it was a packed house! Service was excellent, going above and beyond to welcome me at the door, take care of me throughout the evening and our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu. They were happy all night, a pleasure to interact with and be around. The food was delicious, I had an assortment of Tacos including the Baja fish tacos and Birria tacos which I recommend. They were delicious, well portioned for the price and packed full of flavour. I really enjoyed the Baja fish overall, they were fresh, seasoned, tasty. For the main course I had the Pescado Maui Maui. It was savoury, and it lit up my mouth with each bite. Rounding out the meal was the dessert, which were churros and Tres Leches cupcake. I found the cupcake to be better overall but both were sweet and scrumptious. The churros were a bit stiff and not as doughy as I thought but they still delivered. I'm glad I've been back to Chuuk and I'm glad I'll be going back to check out their patio during the warmer months.

With a closing time of 4:00pm, their menu features (all day) breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, and a few entrees. There's a little bit of everything. In addition to traditional and classic Canadian fare, there's Mexican, Italian, Greek, Asian, South Asian, Cajun, and more. I think they got most bases covered. I ordered the Eggs Jenny, a variation of Eggs Benedict - two poached eggs on house made crab cakes with hollandaise sauce and home fries. The crab cakes, made with real crab (not surimi), were good but maybe not outstanding. The eggs were perfectly poached to my liking. The home fries were also good. The execution of this dish was very good but the hollandaise sauce was disappointing. It was thick, lumpy, and bland. I tried not to eat it. The restaurant was clean and the service was very good. The rest of the menu looks interesting enough, with reasonable pricing for me to come back. I just won't order anything with hollandaise.

    This place just opened in the Giant Tiger plaza! I called and placed an order for pickup - timeline…read more15-20 mins. Good phone/pick-up service, the restaurant was empty and very clean. We ordered x3 fish tacos, x3 beef tacos, and chicken nachos. It was a nice change to have meat added to nachos without any additional cost. Were they the best nachos and tacos I've ever had? No, but this place does have potential. The chicken on the nachos was shaved from a spit and was beautifully seasoned. Next time I try this place I will go for the shawarma instead! The man we ordered from asked us if we wanted to omit any toppings. The beef tacos were pretty spicy - which we like, but if you can't handle spice, tell them when you're ordering. I preferred the fish tacos over the beef. The nachos were good enough and had lots of cheese and a good topping-to-chip ratio. Give this place a try!

Clearly not worth the price tag. Chicken Quesadilla-$9.99 - Again typical stuff you find in the quesadilla, but I noticed they use the chicken from the shawarma and put it on flat stove grill and chop up the pieces...It barely had any cheese and the meat wasn't spread evenly across the quesadilla.. - Not the worst but not average too...The highlight is their garlic cream sauce they provide with this... This place opened on Nov 14, 2022...Based on the food we tried for $25+, I'm not sure how will it'll fare but first impressions are important and this place totally fell FLAT!!!
