I believe that every day should be Taco Tuesday so when I heard about this taco joint in Kensington I knew that I had to go and I must say that this place definitely lives up to the hype.
We arrived on a hot Saturday afternoon knowing that we would be greeted with a line up. We waited for about 20 minutes until our order was taken by an extremely nice lady! A lot of the time people taking orders seem to just be hating their life, but this girl was a nice and cheery surprise. We were very lucky that after we ordered our food, we snagged a spot at the table. If you are there with a friend I suggest that one of you scout out the tables while the other waits for all your food. I was lucky to be the closest to the table when someone left, as I say many other people with their eyes on it aswell.
We ordered 3 tacos: the Baja fish, the Blackened Mahi Mahi and the Gobernador. We also each ordered a Mexican grapefruit soda and the ceviche. To start, the Mexican sodas and the ceviche were both so refreshing on such a hot day. The Ceviche was probably my favourite part of the entire meal! When it comes to the tacos, they do NOT skimp on meat. After ordering all of our food we realized we probably could have stuck with 2 but it was nice to try a wider selection. The Maji Maji was my favourite as it was very light while the Baja Fish came in at a close second with a nicely balanced bread-to-meat ratio. The Gobernador was okay, but definitely not as good as the others--I would not order this again.
PSA: The hot salsa is VERY hot. I am fairly good with spicy food but holy, this had a kick. We decided to douse the Baja Fish in the hot salsa and it became fairly unedible because it was just so spicy. A bit of it would have been fine, but make sure not to make the same mistake we did and taste it before you put it on everything!
