Food was perfectly Mexican no US or Canada watered down. I went beyond the basic taco and burrito…read morefor my first try and it was spot on. Being from suburbs of Chicago which has a huge Mexican population and thud tons of truly Mexican joints, this is a worthy and spot on. The place looks so fun inside. They out did themselves. Service was good and on off hours sometimes they come by too often snd sometimes not often enough. Overall this area was good

Last Thursday evening May 22nd I took my family out for a birthday celebration. I had never been to…read morethis restaurant before but chose it because of the good online reviews I had read. I had made a reservation for 5:45PM although this was not necessary since when we arrived there was only one other table occupied. Our server was very , very slow which began to become very frustrating since she only had one other table. I ended up having to wave her over to get her attention and this was after sitting for at least 10 minutes. We ordered drinks, White wine, margarita and an appetizer of Tortilla chips. When the server returned she brought a glass of red wine not white, when I stated I had ordered white wine she rudely said "no you didn't" and refused to take it back at which time I asked for a glass of white. In my opinion, even if I had accidentally ordered the red, it is really surprising that she would not switch them out. When the tortilla chips came it was SHOCKING!! the cheese was dry and looked like it had been sitting on the chips for hours obviously it was not freshly prepared. The guacamole did not look like any guacamole I have ever had or seen, it was close to a mint green color and when I asked the server about this she stated "it is Mexican guacamole", I have been to Mexico many times and NEVER saw this color or the syrup like consistency it had. Because of her rude behaviour and poor quality food we paid the bill, including the glass of unwanted red wine and left, we did not order entree's. This is the first review i have ever written but the experience was so awful that I wanted to share this with the public and hopefully the owners of this establishment will use this review to make some much needed changes.

From Edmonton to Orlando, STReats is by far the most crave worthy and has a light atmosphere. With their Taco fundraiser STReats4STREETS, you can share the goods. I order a taco every time I indulge for someone who may not have the great fortune to come in person and get a hot, delicious meal for themselves. As an additional note, they have the BEST fish & chips (I don't even bother with the fries-they would take up precious belly space where the fish belongs), they are allergen and vegetarian aware, and have rotating specials that are creative and interesting. Last month's was a Beyond Meat special, this month's has Asian flair (Spring Roll is the flame). They have great weekly specials, are very reasonably priced and produce consistent delicious food.

Ordered through SkipTheDishes for my wife and myself…read more Delivery was very fast and courier was great. Wife and I both got double taco combo, both one chicken and one shrimp mango. I included instructions to hold the Pico de Gallo as I am allergic to jalapeños. My chicken taco came without the Pico and was very good. They did not hold it for mango taco so I was unable to eat it. I had ordered a Diet Coke, but received a regular coke instead. The mini poutines were very tasty. As we ordered through SkipTheDishes, a return is kind of a pain, so my wife took the stuff I couldn't eat for lunch. Overall, what I could eat was good. If ordering, patrons should maybe call the restaurant and confirm their special requests/actual order to ensure they get what they want. The small details ruined my experience in this case

Firstly, I phoned on a Saturday about 5pm tp book a reservation for a large party of possibly 30…read morepeople, and wanted to be sure they could accommodate a party of that size. I was answered by an automated message that thy were too busy to take my call, to leave a message and my number, so I did- no big deal; however there was NO call back until the following Tues. afternoon, certainly not a great start. By this time the party number had decreased to 20, and they said they had no problems in accommodating all 20. I enquired about their Gluten Free menu as I knew at least two of our party had gluten allergies and was told all food items were gluten free, but there would be cross contamination on the grill, again not great, Any restaurant that advertises as having a gluten free menu should have a COMPLETELY gluten free zone to prepare such items so that there is no "cross contamination". When we arrived, I as a wheelchair dependent individual could not access to restaurant because of a large step at the door, although there is no signage that the restaurant IS wheelchair accessible, it should be wheelchair accessible without the person being lifted, or having to get out of their wheelchair and step up themselves to enter the business, (Strike 2). Next we found that they could not, in fact accommodate 20 people as a whole group 6 seats were reserved at a separate table, (Strike 3). Strike 4 was the filthiness of the place, there was a dirty, greasy scum over every surface , even the walls- use some decent soap and hot water sometime! Strike 5 was that more than half of the dishes offered were sold out. Strike 6 was the food itself, I have an allergy to anything prepared with fresh onion of any kind, and I don't like spicy, which in Mexico, they accommodate very well, here at cafe verde, every meat was prepared with onion, the waitr staff could not seem to comprehend the NO ONION, in any way! I was about to go hungry when one of the staff members stepped up to say the birria tacos were not prepared with onion and were not spicy, had no chilies, so that is what I got- WRONG, not only was it prepared with chilies, at least 3 KINDS if chilies, according to online recipes, and it was unpleasantly spicy, but the allergic reaction I had for the next three days proved there had been onion used in it's preparation. There MUST be and education of the wait staff on the full preparation of ALL dished so that they are aware of what goes in to each and every dish. There should also be a written ingredient list for patrons to view so things of this kind DO NOT HAPPEN!
