Johny Bannana

I go to this place at least once a week.
The food is all super fresh, and always delicious. Everyone I've sent to this place agrees. This small cafeteria style resto is cute and charming and clean, unlike most of the queen west eateries.
If you are in the hood, go there, they have the best hot chocolate in the city as well their alfajores are to die for.

I was very excited to check out Johny Banana and was nothing but dissapointed with my experience there. With exception of our great server it was a waste of my money and time. From the moment we got there I noticed the clouds of smoke in the restaurant. There bad venhilation made my eyes burn for hours after I left. The most dissapointing aspect was, of course, the food. They were out of the first appetizer that we ordered so we had to order something else. When we got our food, our appetizers and main courses were cold. When I sent back my enchiladas they brought them back out on the same plate. It had clearly been thrown in the microwave for a few minutes and was soggy and unedible. I commented to the server who asked the owner about the situation. The owner told the server to tell us that microwaving enchiladas is the proper way to make them (honestly!!). Anyone who knows anything about Mexican food should know that almost everything is cooked with a great deal of attention and it takes time to put together a dish, especially enchiladas. While they did offer us free desert the situation was mishandled and the owner was unprofessional (the point was not that we wanted to get anything for free). I would not go back and will not recommend this restaraunt.
