| - Brought to you by the owner's of Black Hoof, I knew this place was going to be hipster central and packed to the gills...and i was right!
Thank god i had to have an early dinner and ended up there right after 6pm (they open at 6 - no reservations), my friend had already scored a table in this tiny restaurant (seating for maybe 30 max??) and i thankfully sat down right away, but not after hearing the hostess tell the unlucky walk ins (after me) that there was a 90 min wait!
For such a busy place the service was really prompt and efficient and we had our order taken right away. The server brought us chips and guac (don't assume these are free - $8) but they were yummy. Chips were super crispy and the guac was nice and fresh with lots of lime. There was a little side of salsa as well.
My friends tried the Grand Electric Sour (their only cocktail on the menu, they specialize in bourbon and have some beer as well - all written on a chalkboard) and they gave it average reviews, said it tasted sweet and someone the word egg nog was dropped).
Tacos are the star on the menu so that's what we got - at $3.50 each you could afford to try a bunch of them.
Baja Fish - breaded and fried white fish, really fresh and tender, piled high with zingy and crispy cabbage - yum!
Spicy Chicken - chunks of chicken in a...you guessed it, spicy sauce...nice kick to it.
Beef cheek - upon this small little corn tortilla was a pretty massive pile of tender, slightly sweet, a little bit spicy, finger tender (no forks were given) beef.
All in all i thought all of these were amazingly tasty and fresh, the price was crazy affordable and i'd definitely come back to try the rest of the sides/soups/pork belly taco that they have on the menu.
A great new Parkdale addition.
Note: they are closed on Tuesdays, no split bills, and only accept cash or debit
