| - Apparently, this is the place to be for seafood tacos, so I had to check it out (along with other good eats in Kensington Market!) one Saturday evening.
My friends and I arrived just before 6 and there was a line-up to the curb. The wait to order must have been well over 30 minutes, plus another 10 minutes for the food.
I wanted to try the ceviche but it was already sold out. We ended up ordering a total of five tacos at $5 each. Each taco came as two tortillas topped with a whole lot of ingredients and sauce. A variety of salsas (mild, medium, and hot) is also provided on the side of the counter which you can add to your tacos.
The Gobernador, filled with chunks of smoked tuna, shrimp, and cheese, was my favourite. A generous amount of seafood, cheese, and sauce made every bite simply delicious! The blackened fish (grilled mahi mahi), the spicy shrimp with cheese, and the octopus were pretty good, too. I thought the Baja fish (deep fried mahi mahi) was nothing special. Despite being crispy, there was a little too much batter, in my opinion.
Like many other establishments in the area, this taco joint is small. There is only one table, and some counter space. It was a nice evening out, so we stood outside and enjoyed our tacos by the curbside. It got pretty messy but all was well with a few forks and wet napkins available at the counter.
