But at least make it hot. It is fried items. It is not hard to re-fried it.) the food came back in warm temperatures. I don't think you can reheat any food hot in 2 minutes. On top they charge minimum 18% service charge. I'm very up set and not happy with this. The waiter is nice but not the food. My friend ordered this bowl of meal it's about $62.

We ordered the Consome Soup (Lamb Broth) and the Camarones a la Mexicana Tacos (Shrimp). We were given complimentary nachos as well. The Consome Soup (5/5) came with Tortillas which were soft and had the perfect texture to them. The lamb was tender and the broth was clear, rich in flavour and had a smooth texture. The Camarones a la Mexicana Tacos (Shrimp) (5/5) was well made. The shrimp was plump and succulent. It was complemented well with the zestiness of the sauce and the lime. Overall, we were quite pleased with how authentic this place is. We will definitely be regulars here.

This time I ordered tacos and I was surprised that they didn't have ground beef tacos, only pork, shrimp, chicken or sausage. We started with the nachos, which was served with enchilada sauce instead of salsa, but it worked. Then I had the shredded chicken tacos, which turned out to be chunks of chicken breast - not shredded - on soft, soggy tacos. The first one I lifted up fell right through the taco. It was supposed to be served with tomato sauce but all I saw was one thin slice of tomato peel in one of the tacos. It was so dry, I could barely swallow it. We mentioned it to one of the servers and she offered to replace my meal and brought me the menu again. She never came back though and my friend finished eating his dinner. When the bill came it included the food I'd returned and when we mentioned it they did remove it from the bill. On the way out I passed the server who had said she would come back to take my order and I was a bit sarcastic when I said "Thanks a lot for coming back", and her reply was "Sorry about that." I left, not impressed with either the food or the service.

Plus, they had some kid meal options, and my child's taco came on a little dinosaur stand, which added to the whole experience of being there with a child. The service was fantastic, very attentive.
