El Rincon Mexicano

ElEl Rincon Mexicano has a vibrantly colourful backyard patio that feels miles away from Toronto. A lovely place to enjoy a wealth of imported beer and some guacamole (in a stone bowl!), on a lazy, summer, weekday afternoon. Their chimichangas are good and hefty- though I am not partial to their use of steak over shredded beef and it would be better with some rice and/or beans on the side.

Nice Mexico atmosphere - Service was good - The food "Pastor" tacos were very tasty but the portions are small especially the ice cream scoop of rice and beans.

Maybe I am bios because of my familiarity of Mexican restaurants in southern U.S but the small portions, and the final bill was way up there, not what I expected.

I would recommend once but try another.

Final thought if the menu does not have an alacart section "single taco, burrito, toastado, ect" should be a red flag for the pricing scheme.

They are worth a visit, mind you I have not had the chance to try the competition so maybe they are cheep compared to other establishments.

Cheers, and Enjoy - The food is Good..

Talk about amateur hour. We made reservations for my birthday for 8 people, and they called me 3 days before to cancel. You read correctly. THEY called ME! Their rationale? There was a fair on the street that night, and they were going to be busy. Basically, they were thrilled to get our business if they were to be dead, but since they would be busy anyway, they felt that they didn't need me. Did I mention that they called ME to cancel? And that it was at 10:40 pm on a Wednesday night??? HAHAHAHA. They have lost me as a customer for life.

Tried for the first time this weekend and were extremely happy with the food. Even my girlfriend who does not like spicy food has requested a return trip ASAP.
