| - I actually came here last week but they had already sold out of everything by the time I got there (near closing). I chatted to one of the co-owners for a bit and found out that they hadn't anticipated so much business and it was partly because blogto had reviewed it the night prior. Although a little disappointed, I was determined that I would come back and try it.
So I did. I came here tonight with two friends and we ordered the fish taco ($4.50), al pastor taco ($4), and carnitas taco ($4) along with beans & chips ($3) and horchata ($2). All three of the tacos were fairly good and I enjoyed the diced fruits that accompanied each of them (mango in the fish, pineapple in the al pastor, and orange in the carnitas). It was a nice touch that made it more "special" than your average taco. The only downside was the portion size. We collectively agreed that it wasn't too filling and we would've appreciated a larger portion (especially if I compare it to Seven Lives in Kensington Market). The chips were homemade and had a nice crunch to them, but my friend had suggested, again, that they could've been more generous with the portioning of the refried beans dip. They offer 3 levels of heat for their salsa that you can add on the side but I don't have a spice tolerance so I never tried any. My friend, however, does and her commentary was that the heat was too overpowering - so much so that she couldn't really taste the heat but only feel it. Overall, I would rate the food a solid 3.5/5 but because the co-owner was so friendly and I recognize that the business is still finding its way into the market, I rounded them up.
P.S. It's a petite store so there is no seating, there's just a ledge that you can stand along to eat.
