This place was the first stop on a small food tour with around Dundas St East. The space is small inside a la the same dimensions as most of the eateries in Kensington Market but enough there is some ample sitting space and also enough space to move around.
Our group of four given a basket of complimentary tortilla chips with three different dipping sauce the spiciest of which was really no joke, as the own had given us a friendly warning about it. Haha, well heat from the pepper used in that sauce scared off the chill from my bones. But I also need to counter the heat on my tongue so decided to get one of the two in-house Aqua Frescas. I decided on the Horchata a concoction of rice, vanilla, cinnamon and almond milk which tasted distinctly of bubble gum when I took the first sip, and it was light and refreshing and obliterated the remnants of the hot sauce from my tongue.
I liked the sound of the Chicken Adobado but it was still in the second stages of cooking so I ended up "tasting" one of the extra Al Pastors that my friends had sitting at the table with them. I didn't really savor this taco but I did fill me up (I had not eaten anything before getting here) and our group all agreed on that. The owner did let me know that I could return to pick up the Chicken Adobado taco on him later in the day which I did. I had that for breakfast today and the meat was tender like it had been braised and the pico de gallo complimented the flavor of the meat. But I really bet it would taste a lot better when eaten right at the place.
So I did end up getting to try two different tacos for the purpose of getting one and neither one disappointed. The sauces for the chips also had their own distinct flavors at first bite. The Horchata was refreshing even on a chill day. The products worked out well for my palette.
I will be stopping by here when I'm in the Dundas Square area next time.
