  • Honestly I'd really rate it a 2.5 stars....it didn't live up to the hype at least for me and my fiance. We came here on a rainy Friday afternoon soon after it opened so we didn't have to wait in line. The first thing I noticed about the restaurant was their extremely loud music. I like rap music...but it was so loud that I felt like the only way to have a conversation was to speak into my fiance's ear as we were seated at the bar! Is this a sign of aging? I don't know...but if I have to be at near shouting levels to have a decent conversation....I'm not too pleased. The second thing I noticed was that it was quite dim in the restaurant. Now, I understand that people like dim lighting for ambiance but really....it was quite dark. Turn on some lights! I'm not sure if it's because it was sort of rainy that day or what...but really.... We started off with their calamari which was delicious. I bit into a pepper seed which unfortunately left me feeling like my mouth was on fire...but even still...I have to say that I did enjoy the dish. Next we ordered the baja fish tacos, pork, beef cheek and scrapple tacos. Our favourite by far was the beef cheek. It had a nice sweet taste to it....and we like sweet meat. The fish tacos were ok...nothing to rave home about. Our greatest disappointment was the scrapple. The server tried to explain to us what it was but because of the super loud music...we only heard bits of what she said. From what we understood...it was a mix of pork neck and pork back meat?? To this day...I still don't know exactly what scrapple is. Anyway my fiance and I love pork neck which is why we decided to try the scrapple. It came out in this strange rectagular brick....almost reminiscent in appearance to tofu that was fried. Anyway....it was definitely not what we were expecting and was not enjoyed. The texture was kind of mushy and the taste wasn't really that good.... Overall...I wouldn't make the trek to Parkdale to eat grand electric again. I like tacos but I don't think I'm the biggest fan of Mexican food - it may be a bit too spicy for me. Regardless....I didn't think that their food blew me away to the point where I would say that I would come back and their loud music and dim lighting certainly didn't add to their attractiveness.
