Grand Electric has taken over the old Cafe Taste space and somehow it looks even smaller than it did before. That's not really a bad thing because it is quite nice inside. The exposed wood wall behind the bar looks great. I'm not sure what happened with the bar itself though because it looks like it came from an Ikea catalogue.
There are quite a few places to sit and they obviously wanted to make the floor equally welcoming to groups and pairs. There are two larger areas for groups near the door and tables for four and two scattered around the room with lots of seating at the bar.
I wish I could have had more to eat but four tacos, two Grand Electric sours and a Lime Varro beat me. The beef cheek was great and piled with fresh jalapenos and the pulled pork was equally good. I had one fish taco and the mild spice was a nice surprise. My desert was amazing. If you like key lime pie you will love this. Lime custard topped with whipped cream and lime zest sitting on a cookie. Excellent. I really want to go back and try their pozole.
Our servers were accommodating and up beat. Everyone on staff had an ear to ear grin on their face the whole time which was really nice to see. Take note, they do not take reservations but they will take your name and put you on a waiting list. I was told that it would be an hour wait but got a call fifteen minutes later telling me my table was ready so don't be afraid to poke your head in and see what's what.
I would have gladly given this place a 5/5 if it wasn't for the two things, first; it feels really really crowded in there and I got caught in a traffic jam trying to get in and leave. There might be a few too many tables there. My second and bigger issue was the music was way too loud. We were sitting less than three feet away from each other but had to yell the entire time. Their music selection wasn't bad but they couldn't fit a dj in there if they wanted to. It wouldn't change things anyway because he'd be playing the same thing and really, do you need a dj in a restaurant?
