| - These tacos are so good that I forgot to chew. The meal rendered me totally speechless - so, so, delicious and probably the best tacos I've ever, ever had (you see, it was so good that I can't even think of words to describe it).
We came here on a Saturday around 11:30 AM, and there was quite a lineup. We were hoping to beat the crowds, but unfortunately, we were told that lineups are common at this particular corner of Kensington Market's world. We stood in line for about 20 minutes before we got to the front and ordered. Keep in mind that space and seating are very, very limited. If you don't grab one of the small number of seats at the communal table, you'll very likely have to stand while you eat (but trust me, you won't notice you're standing after you have a bite of these tacos).
We ordered 3 tacos: the carnita, baja fish, and the blackened mahi mahi. We also ordered 2 agua frescas (delicious juices). Let me just say that these tacos will give you all the feels you can only be so lucky to find in nothing more than a stuffed tortilla (especially at this price). The meat was so tender and juicy, there were all sorts of flavours I couldn't figure out - sweetness, a tang, a spiciness - all combined to be one huge perfect party, in a taco. The baja fish taco was superb - not too fishy, but still super flavourful and powerful. The salsa has a nice smokiness to it that I've rarely encountered. Everything was so well cooked and melded perfectly together - so pleased with our meal.
For two people, our entire order (3 tacos and 2 drinks) cost us around $21. Really decent price point - if you decide to go, please head over early to avoid the lines! You won't regret it.
