  This is a casual Mexican joint located on Dunbar, a couple of blocks away from King Edward Avenue. In addition to a regular menu, they also have a couple of All Day Special combos, consisting of an entree, a side of Mexi Fries, and a choice of drink, which includes Slushy Limonada. The service is pretty minimal: you go and order at the front counter and they’ll bring your food to your table (if you’re eating in). I had their Beef Redondo Roll-up Special (with a Slushy Limonada) and Enchilada en Mole Poblano. The food was fine but not great: I enjoyed their combo special, but found their mole to be pretty bland. Their prices were a great bargain however: their all day specials are just around $10 and are quite a generous portion. This is definitely worth checking out.Enchilada en Mole Poblano ($11.95):3/5This consisted of two chicken enchiladas in a mole sauce and is served with rice and beans. This is the first time that I’ve had mole (which is a chocolate, chile and peanut sauce), so I don’t know what it’s actually supposed to taste like. I can only say that, unfortunately, I wasn’t really a big fan of the mole here: I found it to be quite bland. The enchiladas themselves however, did have a pretty good amount of chicken inside, which was tender. The beans and rice were just standard; I could have done with a bit more seasoning.Beef Redondo Roll-up Special ($8.50):3.5/5They have several different all days specials, which comes with Mexi Fries and a choice of drink: I had their Beef Redondo with a Slushy Limonada as my drink. The redondo consists of a grilled tortilla stuffed with ground beef, cheese, vegetables, and sour cream. The tortilla was nicely grilled and had a great crispiness. There was quite a generous amount of filling inside. I did find the beef to be a tad dry, and I wasn’t the biggest fan of the seasoning. I did really enjoy the mexi fries though, which were essentially tater tots, and were very crispy on the outside. The limonada slushy was also tasty, and had a great tanginess.Summary:Food: 3/5Price: 4.5/5Service: N/AOverall: 3.5/5Recommendations: Beef Rendodo Special
