senor chipotle

Thanks to my bro for recommending Senor Chipotle, an awesome authentic (no quesadillas) Mexican restaurant in Guelph. We showed up at 11 a.m. on the dot and they weren't ready to open yet, but once we were spotted peaking into the window, we were ushered inside to be seated. 

The restaurant is located in the unassuming Westwood Plaza strip mall in the south-west end of the city (an area I rarely visited when I lived in Guelph throughout university). Service was amazing. Family-run restaurants are the best.

Two Jarritos please!

Awesome guacamole that had a hint of spiciness. And these are fresh tortillas chips.

Enmoladas for Joe. Chicken stuffed corn tortillas smothered in a crazy-flavourful mole (a complex blend of chocolate, peppers, spices) sauce with a side of refried beans topped with queso fresco and Mexican rice (not the bland, over-cooked kind either).

Chilaquiles for me. Crunchy corn tortilla chips cooked in green tomatillo sauce, topped with cheese and crema, plus a side of refried beans. This is one of my all-time favourite Mexican dishes. Crunchy, cheesy, spicy and saucy. 

We were given a complimentary flan for dessert because we had to wait (which really wasn't much of a wait at all and totally worth it anyways). This was silky, sweet and the perfect end to our meal.
