Chicken chimichangas: shredded grilled chicken rolled in a corn tortilla with tomato salsa, mozzarella cheese, sour cream and refried beans ($14.00)
Chargrilled chicken salad with tortillas, roasted corn, jalapenos, peppers and oregano ($11.00)
The first time we went was a Wednesday lunchtime and while there were a few people there, it wasn't really busy. Our meals came out quickly and were lovely, I really enjoyed it. I've always wanted to try chimichangas but I don't like frying. I did note that there was no mention of frying on the menu. Do you think that's something you would like to know before ordering something like that in a restaurant?
There are many many poor reviews about this restaurant on UrbanSpoon. The service and food we received on Wednesday really did not deserve any of those reviews. I really enjoyed it.
We were back there on the Friday with a much bigger party. The restaurant was much busier this time and there were a number of large parties. This meant that we did have to wait a long time for our food to come out. I had the chargrilled chicken salad, but this salad didn't hit the right notes for me. I am not sure what it was about the salad, but I found it very heavy. It weighed me down for the rest of the afternoon. I wouldn't order it again. There were mixed reviews about the quality of the food from everyone, but I don't think what we received on Friday are accurately reflected in the reviews either.
That being said, despite a gorgeous airy setting and some pretty good daily specials, I don't think it's my favourite Mexican restaurant.
