| - Setting: It was really late (past midnight) on a Saturday evening. We left a pub nearby after having enjoyed some snacks and drinks. We stumbled upon Taco Monkland. My friend had heard about it - and says "Want a taco?"
Now, let's be honest - what kind of friend would I be if I had said no to a taco? Lol. So naturally, out of friendship, we tried Taco Monkland.
Perusing through their taco menu there were a few options. The classics. I opted to try the following tacos: Steak, Chorizo, and Al Pastor.
Verdict: They were really good! The meats and flavours were on-point. They were small, unpretentious and reminiscent of Mexico street food. You know, the simple delicious handheld goodies. My friend and I were impressed.
A tip (because we didn't know the first time around): Condiments for the tacos are inside - and are self-serve! Yup. They hand you the hot tacos with just the freshly made meat (or veggies - there was a cactus option). You then add the condiments (onions, cilantro, pineapple, and sauces) you want. Did I mention self-serve pineapple?! YUM!!
Oh - and a last tip: There are complimentary homemade tortilla chips inside as well! These were delicious! Fresh, crispy, homemade.
Overall, this place is a yummy solid choice. It's authentic and unpretentious. It's got soul. And it tastes delicious. Stop by for a taco (or a few) in your in the area. Support this local business!
