| - Seen a few popular blogs talk about this place so I had to try it out although it's kinda out of the way as I work in the DT core. As well, it's in the Parkdale area where my fellow foodie was not fond of.
Anywho, got there at 5:55pm and there was a couple that just got there 10 seconds before us, so we queued casually until we noticed more people start showing up, then we formed a professional lineup to avoid any confusion.
By the time we got in 6pm (it's opening) it was 95% full, quite surprised!
On to the food.
Pojole Rojo (soup) - had a strong pulled pork smell so that's all I thought it would be but the taste was very different then anything I had, it was very good and comforting on cold cold day. Also came with pickled chili's which is insanely spicy, would recommend people to taste a small piece first.
Tacos
Chicken - wasn't as spicy as I expected, was good but not blown away.
Pulled pork - was expecting to be blown away as other mentioned, it was definitely very god but super impressed.
Beef cheek - surprisingly the beef cheek was my favorite, I could probably be happy with just chicken and beef cheek.
Nacho + Guac - very fresh, I've had my fair share of nacho's and this one tasted very fresh as I'm told it is made in house. It's not too hard or has that preservatives taste.
Drinks
Grand Electric Sour - Was surprisingly refreshing however the lemon taste was getting to me towards the end but I'm not a cocktail kinda guy so in the future I'll just get a draft beer.
Michelada - beer Cesar, surprisingly good as well, would recommend if someone wants a drink with a kick.
Tips
- go early cause there is only two 2 seaters so you'll end up at the bar if you're not lucky enough to get it
- good amount of nachos come with the Pojole Rojo large so you can save some guac if you get the nacho+guac before hand
