A Tex-Mex Showdown: La Hacienda (640 Queen St W) vs. Sneaky Dees (431 College St): I've had quite a few people recommend Saving Grace on Dundas to me. One morning, we drove over, and even got the best parking spot ever. Andrew looked at the restaurant from the car and said, "It looks a little... minimalist." Neither of us are fans of minimalism. We walked over, pressed our noses against the glass and realized that the minimalism was due to the fact that half the restaurant was being ripped up for renovations. Saving Grace will be closed until March. So. We ended up on Queen, at La Hacienda. I was craving Mexican. The brunch itself was nice - read the paper, sat in a comfy seat, felt all relaxed and Saturday morning-y. But, I wasn't so impressed with the rest of the meal. I had a plateful of soggy pinto and black beans covered with a fried egg, and a wedge of crumbly cornbread. Andrew had the breakfast burrito, which was a contradictory blend of dry tortilla and wet insides. Still in the mood for a good Tex-Mex breakfast, I went to Sneaky Dees the next day and had the huevos rancheros. For a few dollars you get a huge tortilla bowl stuffed with ham, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, topped off with a fried egg. Sneaky Dees wins.
