Mexican restaurant
👍👍 Our new favorite eatery. We love authentic Mexican and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch today, the pulled pork bun and red enchiladas were superb as were both the red and green tamales.

VECINO - Gourmet Chicken & Tacos
Asian fusion restaurant
🫤 I love Korean food. I love Mexican food. Both are my second and third favourite cuisines respectively. So naturally, when Vecino began to make waves, I knew I had to visit at some point or another. But unfortunately, I can’t say I’m a fan. A majority of the dishes ordered were subpar, especially re...

👍 Nice Cafe, small but lots of out door tables to enjoy natural sunlight. The food is tasteful and menu is simple but effective. The coffee is robust and flavourful and food is tasteful and creative use of ingredients. The service is the only query, staff aren’t rude but aren’t helpful or create a nic...

😐 It was Sunday lunch but the resto wasn’t too full. Only a couple of tables were packed. We were asked to sit down anywhere we wanted and the waiter came quickly after to hand out the menu. After we ordered, we waited for another 10-15 minutes for food to arrive. They could’ve employed more staffing...

Pancho's Mexican Restaurant
Mexican restaurant
😐 This was an interesting experience. As a kid I grew up on Old El Paso Mexican. This was all I knew until about age 21 when I was introduced to real Mexican food. After living in California on the boarder of Mexico for a year, I have quite a good taste for Mexican. This restaurant was not proper Mexi...

Mexican restaurant
😠 Favourite chain, but this location is not meeting the bar… - lots of hair in my burrito (which I didn’t ask for) - labelled burritos wrong so my vegetarian sister bit into a pork burrito - did not include guac in two burritos that had guac ordered (and paid for)

😠 We dined here on sat 23/9. Where do I even start. No attention for the first 10 minutes of us sitting down, all young kids laughing and talking at the bar (and staring at us too?!) Finally a girl came over and took our orders. We went for the bottomless. Jugs of margs came out, literally juice. Litt...
