| - IN SUM: Overrated. No idea why this place is known for their tacos, but fantastic drinks and apps.
RESTAURANT: It was an extremely hot evening, so we sat inside. Restaurant is rustic, funky done nice and done right. Beautiful. We were seated at a communal table (no problem!) on benches that we awkwardly close to the window and hard on the tooshie. Pretty uncomfortable, actually. Music was good but a little too loud.
DRINKS: Excellent. $8 a pop. Tried every single one. Very pretty. Very strong. Very, very tasty. Get the BOURBANADE.
GUACAMOLE - Served with chips and fried pig skin; also came with a very spicy salsa. Very, very good, but as someone that makes a mean guacamole all by her ownsome, I struggle paying $8 for the dish at a restaurant.
CORN - Sweet delicious corn so juicy we were spraying each other in the face when we bit in; sloshed with tangy mayo, smoky chipotle spice and sprinkled with cheese. Unexpected favourite of the night. Don't question it, just ORDER IT.
BEEF CHEEK TACO - Pretty good, but the meat wasn't tender and the peppers on top were misleading: it was not spicy at all. Corrected this by dousing it in their delicious green salsa. Much better.
PORK BELLY TACO - Okay, but too sweet, and the meat wasn't tender. Once again, doused it in green salsa, which was an improvement.
BAJA FISH TACO - Didn't try it, but my friend said it was very good.
The tacos are dissapointing, but throw back a couple of bourbanades and you won't give a damn.
