We’re huge fans of mexican food. There’s a small mexican restaurant named Cielito Lindo in Pickering (just east of Toronto) that we’ve been meaning to try out for some time. We finally made it there for lunch last week. We were really pleased with the food.

We ordered an appetizer they call Molettes Cancun. Think of it as a mexican bruschetta. It was bread spread with refried beans, melted cheese and Pico de Gallo. It was good. It was lunch time so we opted for some “tex-mex” dishes instead of the larger entrees. The spicy chicken chimichanga was delicious, afterall, it’s deep fried! We also tried the Enchiladas Suiza: Two corn tortillas with chorizo, smothered in creamy green tomatillo sauce with cheese and sour cream. Excellent.

The portions were a good size and the prices more than resonable. Given my recent feelings on portion size, next time I go I’m tempted to ask for a take out container with my meal so I can immediately put one half of it aside to take home – a practice that I might employ at other restaurants as well. If you’re in the Pickering area, we recommend dining at Cielito Lindo.
