| - Ordered a guacamole to share, a couple tacos each, and a couple horchatas to wash them down.
The guacamole was small, and according to the waitress, one whole avocado is used to make it, which is why it fits in a ramekin w/ room to spare. Since avocados are on sale at Metro, 5 for $3, I'm assuming the huge markup is to pay for the huge amount of time and effort needed to make guacamole. After all, if it was so easy and quick to make, they'd make it fresh right at your table, right? /sarcasm Taste was about as good as you'd make at home.
Campechano taco: basically the everything taco, tastes good, but make sure you specify a spice level since the default is about medium which could be spicier than you'd like as my SO learned.
Braised lamb taco: better than the campechano IMO, it was the daily special. It was also pretty drippy and could've benefitted from an extra tortilla.
Horchata: needs more cinnamon and a bigger serving would be nice. It's rice water after all.
Tl;dr: pricey Canadian influenced tacos in a painfully hip interior served by organic, locally grown servers. No al pastor, carnitas, cecina de res or fish tacos. $6 guacamole. For my taco fixes, I'd probably go elsewhere, or I'd just stick to the tacos and maybe a Mexican Coke.
