My taco tour of Toronto is incomplete, but the first two places recommended to me were a pretty big disappointment: Tacos El Asador & El Trompo. I'm a new-school, white-boy taco aficionado, which tips my hat to the tiny, two-bite, long stewed, flavour rich tacos I grew to love at places like Loteria (LA) and Barrio Chino (NYC).
I'm not a fan of the aforementioned's oversized, over-lettuced, chewy-meat offerings heaped in pico de gallo atop tasteless tortillas. What Grand Electric offers is of the former, 'hipster' variety ("honestly, I'm not a hipster" - the lament of every hipster)...but don't let that deter you: these are easily the best tacos I've had in Toronto.
My only gripe with GE is the make-your-ears-bleed cheap speakers blasting (mostly) golden age hip-hop. Note to management: turn down the suck by investing in some decent speakers. Note #2: keep cranking out the beef cheek.
