I consistently order the chicken Diabla bowl from here. I’m a very regular customer.
As satisfied as I am with how delicious the meal always is, I have to say, the portion size is just not that fair for the price. 26$ is really expensive for a bowl—and every time I eat it I’m always hungry an hour later.
Unfortunately I can’t say that there’s a better Mexican place around, particularly for their bowls—but I really wish the price was more justified. I would order so much more often if it was maybe 21-22$ for the bowl as opposed to 26$. I get that the ingredients do seem to be fresh, but I’ve consistently found more “bang for my buck” when ordering from other high-quality restaurants like Baton Rouge. And I would certainly be more willing/comfortable to pay 26$ for a bowl if it guaranteed I would be full after—but unfortunately that never seems to be the case. I will still order from time to time, but I do really wish some restaurants would justify their price points better. 30$ for a bowl after taxes is extremely expensive for a dish that doesn’t even fill me up (and I’m a tiny person).
Again, I love the food—but I’m sure it would mean so much to your customers and would inspire them to support you even more if you revisited your...
Read moreWorst Sherbrooke food experience. We were greeted in a surly fashion by a young bearded man who was (NOT KIDDING) drooling at the bar ... I mean a stream of saliva a foot long cascading from his mouth. I thought that given that it's a Mexican restaurant, we could speak Spanish. NO WAY. This seemed to anger him. We wanted to sit at a quiet area but this was not allowed. So we had to sit beside a noisy table of 8. He SLAMMED our margaritas down on the table (mine was in a glass with a broken base). He disappeared out front into his car and drove off after 5 minutes and not a word to his colleagues. A lovely waitress took over. However, the food was greasy and tasteless. No jalapenos, onions, garlic, cilantro or other authentic (as they claim to be) flavours were present in the "pico de gallo" (chopped tomatoes), black beans (right out of a can, no salt/garlic/ etc.) or guacamole. REALLY? Mexican is easy to make if you just Google a recipe. WORST "Mexican food" I've had in my 62 years. Make an effort, managers/owners/cooks! How long does it take to chop and add...

Ordered 2 fish tacos and was told that it was 1.25 taco night so I threw on an additional 2 tacos. I was asked if I would like guacamole, salsa and beans with it to which I said yes. After a few minutes the tacos appear. 2 fish tacos with very little fish and tough batter, Chipotle mayo that was not spicy in the least. 2 other tacos (carnitas & pastor, they were decent but one was cold.) The real issue came when the bill was presented to me. The salsa, guacamole and the beans did not come with the tacos as implied, rather, they charged me no less than $9 or them (each portion was 1-2 tbsps. maybe?) so out of an order of 4 tacos totalling $14.50 I ended up paying $9 for toppings. I mentioned to the waitress that she never clarified that the toppings were extra, she said sorry and handed me the credit card...
