I used to go a lot to Grand Electric when they first opened but with so many Taquerias options in Toronto and added to the fact that you need to wait for 45min to get a table (in average) I decided to explore other options. After taking a break for a few months, I decided to go back for Lunch.
The place is still cool and hipster. A shark coming from the ceiling with a LA Kings hat, menus on the wall, and a decent bar with plenty of bourbon to choose from. The music is loud and conversing is quite a challenge. There was a couple with a baby having lunch and the baby could not stop crying. I felt sorry for the baby but I cannot blame the restaurant for it. I don't know why some of the TO restaurants insist in having super loud music. I love music and I enjoy a fun environment but when it is so loud that you cannot keep a conversation unless you ask the same question 3 times.... It feels a bit lame.
The drinks menu has changed for the better as now you don't find egg white in most of their drinks. Yay! My drink was too sweet but I liked the Thai Basil touch. It was refreshing.
The tacos remained pretty much the same but with the addition of the corn taco (which I had but did not like it much). The pork tinga is still great and the basa fish delicious! My boyfriend loves their tacos because they are soft and fresh.
After eating in so many taquerias lately I don't know anymore which one is my favourite. Oh, the key lime pie was very good!
Would I come back? Yes, for sure!
