After my last review I was invited back to try Gourmet Gringos again. This time around, it was a completely different story.
Fish Tacos. Amazing.
Mole Braised Beef Short Rib Burrito. Amazing.
It was like night and day coming back here. It was really busy this last Sunday as the gringos were sitting at the Queen West Art Crawl. Orders were taking a good 15 minutes because they were so busy. This turned some people away but trust me, it's worth the wait.
Let's talk about the fish tacos first. Beer battered mahi mahi, cabbage, guac, and a chipotle sauce on a delicious corn tortilla. The fish was piping hot and had a great ratio of fish to batter. The cabbage was nice and crunchy adding to the texture palette. The chipotle sauce was a nice point of difference from the lime creme that traditionally comes on a baja fish taco. The corn tortillas are a little larger than average which helped to make sure all the great toppings went in my mouth and not on the ground.
The burrito, what can I say? Gooey, melty, deliciousness in a tortilla. The beef was so tender with a nice fattiness to it that added a great flavour. There was a healthy amount of cheese which you can never go wrong with. The burrito disappeared quite fast.
Thank-you for an excellent lunch gringos!
