Rating: This is a solid 3 1/2* with the bump of 1/2* for the circumstance of my visit.
I had this place bookmarked for a while but a recent review by a fellow Yelper (shout-out to Sammie S.) made me realize that I was walking by Campechano on my way for lunch to a different place.
So what was I to do?
I decided to get a smaller dish at the lunch place in order to stop at Campechano for a few tacos. Luckily, I have a wife and daughter that humours me in my food pursuit.
We arrived just after 2pm and the waitress informed us that the last call will be in 15 minutes as they close at 2:30pm. That was no problem since I was the only one interested in ordering something. This is a small place and I could see seating being an issue at busier times. Love their wall mural.
The wait staff quickly provided us with a menu. I was disappointed that there was no shrimp tacos for lunch. So I decided to order the Bistec (Top Sirloin) and the Tinga de pollo (Chicken Breast). There's no way you could just order one taco even though you kind of full.
The tacos came out fairly quick as you can see it being cooked in front of you as they have an open kitchen. I liked the Tinga the best. Both of the tacos had the Morita sauce which provided a nice little kick but the Bistec was overtly salty. Also the prices are a little steep but based on location, I can understand why.
My dining experience at Campechano probably took no more than 10 minutes plus it was right before closing. That's why I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and bump up the rating to 4*. I'm hoping to come back for dinner and ask if they offer shrimp tacos.
Solid tacos but not the best in the GTA.
