I absolutely love this place. The atmosphere, staff and food are of the highest quality! They have a non-alcoholic drink I made up and it is SO good! Go by when you can, you won't regret it!

Literally the best chain-ish Mexican place in town, drinks and fajitas for 2 for less than $40. Its just too bright. This is a complaint for management: the place needs an evening mode. Its all white-lighting and desperately needs a dimmer switch or a second string to switch to after 5pm. Other than being lit like a nightclub inside a glacier past sundown its really amazing. I cannot highlight enough how the ONLY issue with this establishment is that it is mind-bendingly over illuminated.
What a great night we had. There were 25 of us celebrating our company Xmas party before Xmas. And this place is the best. Great food, great service great place.

Delicious food and large portions for a great price. The server we had was super warm, kind and efficient. The atmosphere is very bright, which can take a little adjustment in an era in which so many restaurants tone down the lighting. It’s a festive vibe with great service and food.

The service was outstanding. The red sauce on my enchiladas was different, almost Italian/ tomato soup kind of stuff, which I did not like. However, I still made a happy plate :). My family got a lot of other stuff which I tried and loved. It was good food, and great service.

Tucked into the south corner of the London South Shopping Strip sits a restaurant many consider the best Mexican spot in the area. It proudly claims to offer “fine eatery.” The question is: are we finally about to taste fine-eatery Mexican food? I genuinely hoped so.
The façade certainly suggested promise. I walked in feeling optimistic—the décor was beautiful, the layout intentional, and the modern lighting made the entire place feel warm and inviting. Even the bar looked lively… too bad I was still on the clock. Maybe this weekend.
Once I reached my table, I noticed something common in certain Mexican restaurants: an all-male waitstaff. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but it does create an odd imbalance. It’s not that the job belongs to one gender or another—it’s that some restaurants benefit from the balance of personalities and styles of service that a mixed staff naturally provides. A touch of warmth or attentiveness felt missing, and it showed.
We were handed menus along with chips and salsa, and we kept our drink order simple—just water. For once, after visiting countless Mexican restaurants over the past two months, I finally saw a menu that was clear and concise—not a 360-page novel disguised as a menu.
Because I was in a meeting, I couldn’t fully observe the broader atmosphere or how the staff interacted with everyone else. From the little I did notice, including our own waiter, something just felt… flat. A spark was missing. I hope that makes sense.
For my meal, I ordered chilaquiles. I figured: if they can pull off this simple, humble dish—one that is incredibly easy yet surprisingly easy to ruin—then the rest of the menu would likely follow suit. While waiting, I went to the restroom, and credit where due: it was clean, well-designed, and properly maintained.
But when the food arrived, disappointment set in immediately. I should have kept my expectations low, because what I got was… fine. If you had told me this was carne asada with rice and beans, I wouldn’t have criticized it at all, because that’s exactly what it resembled. But chilaquiles? Not even close. Even if the intention was to present an elevated version of the dish, the execution was still poor.
Let me be clear: the food itself is good—very good, even. But it is not “fine eatery,” as the restaurant boldly advertises. And that is exactly why my expectations were high. The name promised an elevated dining experience, and what I received was standard, everyday fare. There’s nothing wrong with regular food—but don’t label it something it’s not.
I was genuinely disappointed with the lackluster execution of the chilaquiles. How can such a simple, iconic Mexican dish be done this poorly? I might understand if the cooks weren’t familiar with it, but this was clearly not a matter of interpretation—it was simply off.
I may return one day to try other dishes, but next time I’ll walk in knowing better than to expect “Fine Eatery.”
