    Quintana's is the best Tex-Mex food in St John's. The difficulty with many restaurants in StJ has been the limitation to whatever is available in local markets. Q's has triumphed over this by adapting their offerings to Atlantic Canada - great use is made of local seafood. The Platas offer combinations of different foods, and can be juggled to meet appetites of the moment. (Eg, the Mexican Flag enchilada plate of green, white, and red salsa was easily modified to two green and a white, what I afterwards recognized as a Nigerian Flag). Service is excellent, attentive. Over the last several years, the on tap beverage range has expanded considerably, and last evening I found myself actually appreciating Corona, on tap. Our Guy's Group goes there regularly, and is never disappointed. We usually close the place, but have never been hinted at by staff with mops. Lunch menu is pretty much the same as the dinner menu, with smaller portions. I recommend the Flautas and the Enchiladas; I'm not a fan of Burritos, but friends scarfed them up. Churros and Flan to finish. Dos cervezas, por favor!
