| - Let me start off by saying I was super excited to come here based on the reviews. It even had a Narcity article written about it claiming that it was the best taco spot in the GTA.
After having my first experience here, I can now say that both the reviews and that article were far fetched for a few reasons.
1. The tacos were good, but nothing spectacular. I had the chicken tinga, Baja fish, and the other chicken taco which I can't remember the name of. My favourite was the tinga because it had the most flavour. I found all 3 of them to be lacking in sauce because they were all quite dry. Granted, I didn't put on any hot sauce which may have helped with the dryness but I think the tacos should taste amazing without the hot sauce. The Baja fish was overdone to the point where it tasted mushy. The coleslaw in the baja fish taco was basically just cabbage because it was so dry. All in all, the tacos were just average- the ones at Grand Electric far exceed these ones.
2. The service is what disappointed me most about this place. First of all, parking is scarce. I know this is not the fault of the restaurant, however it does contribute to the experience. Parking completely aside, when you walk in you'll be lucky to find seating because there's a total of 7 chairs (in a space which could easily fit 10). We wanted 3 sets of tacos (3 tacos in each set) with two sets being identical. We went to place our order and started off by indicating that the first two would be the same, which is when the girl said "we do it by sets here." Ok? She basically said she couldn't make the order for the first two without us telling her both times what we wanted (even though it was the exact same order). She's the one with the screen in front of her, she can see exactly what we ordered and just duplicate it, right? So we ordered our tacos and waited a total of 25 minutes for 9 tacos. Now, if they were making the ingredients there, I would've understood the wait time. However, the ingredients were all pre made. All they had to do was put the tacos together. When they finally finished our order, they didn't write or tell us which box had which order. Not a big deal, but can be confusing for people who haven't been here before. She had already put them in the bag when she asked us if we wanted hot sauce. Initially we said yes, which is when she began to laugh and ask which ones we wanted the hot sauce on. She was laughing because she had to now unpackage them and put hot sauce on individually. At this point we told her we don't need hot sauce anymore and we left.
Overall, a disappointing experience. If you're in the area and are craving tacos, go. But definitely, definitely don't go out of your way. You're better off going to Kensington market or Grand Electric to satisfy your taco craving.
