| - Decided to go to Grand Electric on a Thursday night around 6:30. The estimated wait was 60-90 minutes. I was a bit shocked, but considering the size and popularity of the location, it makes sense. It gave us some time to drive down Queen and see a few sites.
Started with some guacamole and chips- quite good, but maybe a little steep at $8.
Decided to get a Cerveza Monkey (great!) and 8 taco's between the two of us. Doubled up on 'Beef Shoulder' and 'Pork Tinga', then tried one each of 'Baja Fish', 'Spicy Chicken', 'Corn Surpreme' and 'Scrapple.'
Beef shoulder was BY FAR the best taco on the menu, followed by the baja fish. I was quite dissapointed with the corn surpreme. I'm not sure what type of corn was used for the filling, but it had a strange mouth-feel and didn't taste of very good quality.
Ended the meal with a small key lime pie, which was just the right size.
Service was exceptional! We were well looked after, and treated to a second chicarone (after I dropped my first on the floor....)
Only negative comment? TURN THE MUSIC DOWN!!! As someone who has mild hearing loss, I had an incredibly tough time even hearing my date, and suffered with muffled hearing the rest of the night. I understand having a great atmosphere, but this made it nearly intolerable. I would love to bring my father, but there is no way he'd be able to cope with the noise.
All in all, I'd return. Guac & chips, 8 tacos, one pint, one key lime pie. $54. Not a bad little dinner!
