My server didn't listen very well and slapped on a huge amount of sour cream.

My biggest complaint was the discomfort of the wooden chairs at the tables. They had metal rods that dug into my back, making it hard to relax and fully enjoy my meal. Although the restaurant was fully staffed, I noticed that all the garbage bins were overflowing. There's no need for reservations; it operates more like a fast food joint. You place your order and pay at the counter before choosing a table. As for vegetarian options, the selection is quite limited. They offer beans, lettuce, avocado, and a corn/chickpea mash. On a positive note, the restaurant is wheelchair accessible via the main entrance or through the Rideau mall.

Honestly, if it were your meal, would you be satisfied with just 9 grains of rice? The food also wasn't tasty and left an unpleasant feeling in my stomach.

The bowl was good, but the rice tasted a bit old and was cold. However, the chilly weather outside contributed to that. I simply warmed it up in the microwave. read more The bowl was good, but the rice tasted a bit old and was cold. However, the chilly weather outside contributed to that.

The quesadilla I ordered came with guacamole, but I only received salsa. The burrito filling was well made, as was the burrito bowl filling. Next time, I’ll stick to the core menu items, which are the burrito and the burrito bowl. The chips and guacamole were good, and if the guacamole portion were larger, it could easily serve as a standalone meal.
