The first clue was waiting 10 minutes for a rickety table in a poor location, despite having made reservations. Then a further wait for a server, followed by a further wait for water, topped off with an incorrect drink order. Can't comment on the food, as an inquiry after an hour wait SINCE ordering revealed it would be at least another 15 minutes. At that point we left, to find fast food for the children. The restaurant, busy when we arrived, remained chaotic, despite having cleared out since our arrival. Happy Mothers Day!

TLDR: Fast food Tex-Mex place. Build your burrito/bowls. Tasty, lots of different toppings and no…read moreextra charge for guacamole. Regular prices are a bit high, but they often have specials. Fat Bastard Burrito is a chain from Toronto. Of all the fast food Tex-Mex chains (Chipotle, Mucho Burrito, BarBurrito, Quesada, etc.) I like Fat Bastard the most. They have the greatest variety of toppings and they have more unusual toppings like noodles, lol. They also don't charge you extra for guacamole, and most places only allow you pinto OR black beans, but here you can get both :) Their burritos are consistently tasty and always well wrapped and grilled. They have a Wednesday special where you can get a small taco for $6.99. They also have Cinco de Mayo specials , I think it was $5 or $6 for a small taco. And I discovered that April 4 is National Burrito Day and they had a small taco and a canned drink for $5.99. I especially loved that they had Bubly and it qualified as a canned drink (some restaurants charge you more for flavoured carbonated water). Bubly is my least favourite brand of flavoured carbonated water, but I prefer it over soda pop (regular or diet). This location is small with only 3 tables for eating in (2 tables for 2 and one table for 4). It's in the Hampton Park Plaza. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot. (57)

Though I was disappointed to find they no longer make those tacos, I tried the barbacoa, and it was amazing--one of the best tacos ever! The chicken asado was good, but the barbacoa was truly outstanding. I also ordered a drink called the El Camino, not realizing it was very spicy due to Serrano peppers. When I mentioned it, the waitress was incredibly understanding and swapped my drink without making a fuss or charging me. Five stars for the delicious food and exceptional service!

On a Sunday night, it was not super busy but there were enough people that it didn't feel empty inside. A bit pricy but we also got drinks, and most trendy Mexican restaurants are like this these days. To start, I shared guac & chips - no complaints, we enjoyed and it was very fresh. The added tomatoes were nice. I ordered 3 tacos - the beef barbacoa was fine but the portion of dipping jus was tiny for 3 beef tacos. The best taco for me was the tuna tartare crispy taco. Loved the flavours and the fish was just delicious! My friends had the chicken tacos and said they were spicy but they liked them a lot. However, I did not enjoy the ox tongue taco and didn't finish it. I ordered it because all the reviews about it were so positive, but I didn't like how they just put two huge pieces of meat in a taco. It tasted very gamey and I didn't like the spongy texture either. The piña colada cocktail was yummy - I could taste fresh pineapple and it was very creamy.

It was also because of this that the restaurant was nearly empty during peak dinner hours, which I imagine wouldn't be the case normally. There was a nice traditional Mexican backdrop & music alongside it. The staff were really great; one of them gave gluten-free options to a friend with a gastrointestinal condition, who opted for the taco taco: a double-shelled taco with cheese in between the shells to hold it together. You can get some well-priced dishes with great portion sizes. I myself went for the plato ahora carne with beans and rice as sides. It was great and filling. I believe Ahora's a strong pick if you want to get some authentic Mexican cuisine, and a great pick to bring any friends or family.
