| - The first evening we visited, we were told it would be a 2 hour wait... so we left. The second evening we visited, we were told it would be a 2 hour wait... so we left. Both times, we were told to put our names down on a "list" as they didn't take reservations for the evenings we dropped by. But, third time's the charm, right? So the third time we visited, we came on a Thursday evening after work around 7:00 PM. The lineup was still quite long, but the hostess ended up seating us at the two seater front table by the window right away, which had just cleared out. We really, really appreciated the service and effort, and the opportunity to finally try this place! It's boisterous, loud, with a great community atmosphere (read: if you're looking for something quiet and romantic, this isn't it) - overall, a great casual dinner spot.
First, parking. There was free street parking around the corner, not too far of a walk, so that was a plus.
Second, the food. We ordered: a) the Ghost Face Killah wings ($12.00), b) the Mexican Street Corn ($8.00), c) the Carnita, Beef Cheek, and In Cod We Trust tacos ($4.75 each, or around there), d) Churros (3 pieces, at $6.00), and e) a Mexican soda ($3.00). Out of all of this, I have to say that I absolutely LOVED the Ghost Face wings! Be warned, I believe this is a Thursday special, so if you're there on that day, this is definitely a must try. It's crispy, flavourful, with an almond coconut crumble that gives you all the feels only good food can give you. The tacos were delicious and flavourful, but they aren't the best I've had in the city. Overall, though, it was an absolutely delicious meal.
For two people, with tax and tip, our total came to $56.22. Well worth it.
If not for the ridiculous wait and inability to book reservations ahead of time, I would have given this place 5 stars. Otherwise, if you happen come by and the wait won't last an eternity, this is a definite must-try spot.
