Hubby tried the Sam's Margarita and the Paradise Margarita which was amazing! He also tried the Cerveza Lager from Train Wreck. The chips came with a green jalapeno sauce that was creamy and had a kick and a red salsa that was warm. For dinner we tried the Mahi Mahi tostada that they only have on the weekends, my daughter had the Chicken Fajitas that came with rice, refried beans and Guacamole, she loved it. Hubby had the Birria Burrito, also a weekend only special and I tried the Mole Chicken that came with rice. To finish off our meals we had the Churros and Caramel sauce. They were very good! So glad we tried them and it was worth the drive to check them out.

Came here during the "Bite of Burnaby" promotion. 3 course meal for $35. Good pricing and value. I…read moregot this instead of the Taco Tuesdays special - 3 tacos for $12 - because the BoB menu had enchiladas for the main. I love enchilada and that's always my go to order. For the starter I ordered the Esquites. It was nice but too liquidy after a while. The chicken enchilada with red sauce was ok. The refried beans and rice were not the best I had and that was usually my favorite part. The dessert was Passionfruit cheesecake. Initially they said it was out of stock and would replace with tres leches cake (yay my fave). But they somehow managed to find the Passionfruit cheesecake and served that. It was not good at all. It didn't taste like cheesecake. Good thing that's usually not on the menu. R had the tacos instead. I tried some of that. He got the Birria, asada and pastor. Of those, I prefer the pastor. Very tender and flavorful. The horchata was pretty good but at $7, I thought that was a bit on the high side. We may come back for taco Tuesday ($4 each with min 3 purchased) or burrito Wednesday ($14) in future. I'm glad this place is being used again after the Greek restaurant closed when the owners retired. The layout is still the same. It can get really loud at any of the tables by the speakers. The music kinda drowns out any conversation. Parking is available behind. Walking distance to both Patterson and Joyce skytrain stations. Or there's the bus stop nearby.

Lengua, Arrachera and Compechano and it took 40min minutes...ordered at 6:50PM and food arrived a bit after 7:30PM. It was pretty busy on a Friday night, the table next to us was also waiting a long time. Saw two birthdays, and they brought out a sombrero hat and cheer, which was fun. My friend ordered the pork belly & tuna and it was super dry. Free parking in a small lot behind the restaurant. Decor inside was fun, lovely and vibrant.

Came for something non taco and got the burrito instead. I really wanted the lengua but not sure…read morewhy lengua is offered for tacos and tortas but not burritos. I opted for carnitas. It was dry. I think with the tacos there's a bit of diced onion and tomato on top to compliment the meat. However with the burrito it is pure meat inside. I even tried to put the sour cream, guac, and salsa verde on it but it still was very chewy. I will stick to my lengua tacos. The choriqueso appy was a disappointment. It is super cheesy on top but the bowl is very deep so the rest ot the chorizo under doesnt get any cheese to pair with. The amount of nachos compared to the choriqueso is very little. You basically just have to eat spoonfuls of chorizo at the end. Our friends ordered the steak and the medium rare came medium. It was tough and had a lot of unchewable tendons.

Not so wonderful as my previous visit to this restaurant. Why? Because of my mortal…read moreenemy...Cilantro! Why, why, why do so many foods have to have cilantro in them? So...I decided to order a Vegetarian Torta. My first time ever ordering Torta in a Mexican restaurant. It was kind of like a more refined version of a Subway sandwich. I asked for "no cilantro" but the server didn't think to tell me that there would be cilantro in the guacamole. So while they didn't garnish the sandwich with cilantro, there was still cilantro in it because they had put guacamole in it. When I say "no cilantro" you should realize that if there's some kind of condiment that goes into the sandwich and has cilantro in it, then my "no cilantro" request is going to apply to that condiment too and so you should alert me to that so that I might be able to choose something else from the menu. So after waiting and waiting for my order, and then biting into it...I discovered the cilantro in the guacamole. I ended up sending the Torta back and ordering something else. I ordered a Mushroom Quesadilla. This time, having complained about the previous server not having told me about there being cilantro in the guacamole, they had the presence of mind to tell me that the mushrooms were already mixed in with cilantro. Upon hearing this, I then modified my order to a plain cheese Quesadilla. Quite a drag cuz it was a late dinner already, so I was quite hungry. Other people at the table ordered tacos and Monster Quesadillas. If you don't have an aversion to cilantro like me, then you're more likely to have an easier time with the menu and enjoy pretty much anything at this restaurant. Minus any cilantro problems, portions are large and food is very good. Oh yeah...and they do a nice Horchata. Just a shame for people like me, that a lot of their foods have cilantro mixed into them already.

Anyway, yes, the mall itself is primarily aimed at the local population, so the wife was pleased to find something different. At first, anyway, in the end she wound up throwing out half the food do it just not being very good.
