Although I was a little hesitant about Mexican food, I visited Under The Volcano today. Before I could order anything, my server brought me some complementary chips and salsa. These were enjoyably crunchy and seasoned with spices. I decided to get the Chimichanga for my main. It was a tortilla folded into something like a burrito. Within it, there was cheese, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, and shrimp. I savoured every bite of its cheesey goodness. I had two sides to go with my Chimichanga: rice and fries. The rice did not suit my personal taste. However, the fries were packed with great flavour. Now, the atmosphere. The interior is colourful and fun. It is decorated with Mexican culture, from paintings on the walls to plants to sombrero hats and to even a toucan ornament. When you eat here, you are immersed in a Mexican experience. Under the Volcano is an outstanding restaurant, the perfect place to bring your kids or celebrate a birthday. I made the right choice by coming here… and so should you!

I normally love Mexican restaurants and was looking very forward to this place. I read the reviews online and thought it would be good. The food was a bit below average. The beans and rice was thrown out. Don’t let the nice photos I took fool you. Don’t get that steak burrito as it’s over cooked in the oven coming scorching hot. The chicken was dry and the pork was not seasoned well in the tacos. We had a puddle of water with the pork. The ground beef was the wait to go. The nachos are not good, I’ve been to a lot of authentic places and this was far below average. The. Vegetarian taco trio is not tasty either. The service was good. We were seated promptly and had someone always come over. They were polite and attentive. We order a beef quesadilla but got a chicken taco. We asked for a replacement and got a beef taco instead. We gave up at that point as we needed to go. I think the biggest issue we had is the cleanliness. This place is nasty. I’ve done lots of reviews and been to some dives that I loved but this place was just plain dirty. So much dust everywhere, ants and other bugs. I would say that they need to spend a good week cleaning the place up. The decor make it even harder to clean even though it looks nice in the pictures. Sometimes there are places that just don’t sit well with you. I gave with three others and everyone said 2/5. I’ll leave you with this. If the dining area is not clean what does the kitchen look like?

This is the first and last time I will ever go to under the volcano i don’t even know where to start. I paid $50 for two “special” entrees that was dried out, inedible Mexican chicken Parmesan (Supposed to be pollo con queso) which is extremely disappointing. The website made this dish sound delicious but we couldn’t even eat it the chicken was so dry. The “tomato” topping was straight up marinara from a can with a little cheese and some weird tasting sour cream or cream cheese on top of the chicken. My friend received brown guacamole that was probably 1-2 days old. We called to discuss the quality of our food and didnt receive an apology or resolution just excuses. This response shows a lot about this restaurant and because of that I will not be going here again. Extremely disappointing and a huge waste of money for low quality food and service.
