Holy Guacamole - St. Catharines

We were thrilled to discover this hidden gem! Passing through town and feeling famished, we asked the owner for his recommendation.

If you're thinking about going elsewhere for Mexican food, stop wasting your time and money. Come here for authentic Mexican cuisine instead.

This was the first time my group and I visited this side of Niagara Falls.

Now, if I had a restaurant, I wouldn't allow my patrons to walk into my production area. Also, I wouldn't have the entrance near a production area. If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't dust fly in from outside and land on the finished tortillas and as well, dirt get kicked up from the floor mats? Hmmm....anyway, the "restaurant" doesn't have a washroom or heat so dress warmly and make sure everyone goes before they leave the house. Chips are good but lacked a bit of salt. Salsa was watery and lacked salt as well. Guacamole was okay but once again, lacked salt. Then the tacos came...finally. You'd think that being only one table, it would have not taken over 15 minutes to make tacos. And to boot, half of them were cold. I guess the microwave that we heard wasn't working too well. But wait, they didn't lack salt! I think they knew they didn't add salt to the previous food, so they added it all to the tacos. My family was shivering every time they swallowed. They were so salty. I think out of the 3 meats I tried, the beef was definitely the best. Maybe because it was the last one out of the microwave. I'm sorry Holy Guacamole but I think you should stick to making tortillas and not focus on building a restaurant.

For years we have been travelling over the river to buy our corn tortillas as the ones available in Canada are simply terrible. What a surprise! For $2.50 you get a large bag ( 24 plus? ) of fresh homemade tortillas. We have used them in 3 of our favourite recipes and they are delicious!! Much better than all the others we have tried. We did not eat lunch as our mission was to buy and try the tortillas. The owner was extremely friendly and the place was very clean. We will probably plan to eat there on our next tortilla run. Good luck to the owners and welcome to Niagara. You have one repeat customer and wish you many more!
