| - The space is beautiful, and they're very popular at the moment, so it's a smidge crowded. We didn't actually order any drinks, but it looked like they had a great selection of wine and beer. I think they served cocktails as well since people had entire hollowed out pineapples.
What we did sample were the El Grito Tacos. They're way in the back, operating out of what seems to be a tiny kitchen. They had Roasted Carrot, Duck Confit, and Lamb Barbacoa tacos. At 3 for $8, they were well priced. We sampled all 3 and they came out quick, which I really appreciated.
The roasted carrot taco was really good.The carrots had been well seasoned with cumin and some other spices. They've been roasted until they were soft, but not mushy so that they still had a bite to them. They were dressed with a light coconut sauce. The duck confit taco though, was my favorite. A touch of sweetness with the savoury and it was well balanced in flavor. Their salsa is no joke - quite spicy, so a little will go a long way. The tacos are served on a paper plate, which is great because we walked right out of the establishment and found a bench to enjoy our tacos, but the paper plate seemed out of place for the Robin Room which had very nice and modern decor. I'd happily come back for the tacos, but I'm also eager to try their drinks.
