Elephant & Castle

Location:

212 King Street West, Toronto

Cost: $50 with tip

www.elephantcastle.com



As far as pub food in the city goes...this place has got to have the blurst (read: worst).



It's got a great atmosphere for after work or late night drinks, but I've got to say the food is absolutely mediocre.

So, the mahi sandwich with fries was just okay...which is not saying much.   

It certainly was better than the chicken skewers, which were...disssssguuuust. 



Unless you like your chicken pinkish....



The bruschetta was alright.



And the fish fritters with chips (crisps) was sub-par.



Thank Guinness for beer!  I'm happy my half pint of Guinness was so generous...I needed it!

Quesada's

Location:
234 Wellington Street West, Toronto

Cost: $8-15

www.quesada.ca

My friend who'd just moved to Toronto from Calgary treated me for lunch at this place; I'd heard many good things about the food, so I was excited to try it out.

Let me first say though, that I have yet to find a really tasty burrito. Burrito Boyz failed to impress. After three tries and various combinations, it still hasn't wowed. I'm still wondering what the fuss is about. But I digress.

Back to Quesadas...

A narrow space on the corner of  Wellington and John which outlines their ordering procedure on the far end of the wall prior to the assembly of burritos.





I ordered a small spicy chipotle chicken (hot) ($5.35) which claimed to be "tender chicken marinated in our own spicy chipotle heat".  I must confide...there was no heat in this whatsoever.



The hot sauce helped some...but  I still wanted the flavour to come from within the burrito.  Is that too much to ask?  Thank goodness for sauces!



My friend ordred the Chile-lime shrimp, "burrito in the buff" which is the burrito minus the tortilla.  AKA, a salad.



And a Tango Mango Odwalla drink:





Fully packed during lunch, the burritos must be impressing some people.  My quest for a tasty burrito however, continues...
