My idea of quick fast Mexican in Toronto is usually hitting Chino Locos for yum yum fish burritos but then Toucan Tacos opened.
My fiancee had already ventured to the forbidden Taco land when I was away on biz, so first weekend back I decided to hold out as long as possible to starve him and suggest Tacos for a late lunch/early dinner. Taco mission success!
We went at an odd hour which meant we had the whole place to ourself, the decor is still in progress I think but at minimum was hoping for some cheesy Mexican music.
I was freezing and used that as an excuse to order the sangria, which I thought was pretty good, especially when i wasn't expecting sangria as an option.
Given we had starved, we ordered guac and chips, the guac was fantastic and the chips once sprinkled with fresh squeezed lime were great as well.
The highlight was the catfish taco platter. The tacos were not too hard and perfect in density, the fish was fresh and seasoning great. This was all accompanied by jicama salad that looked like slaw but tasted like summer freshness and simple white rice and fried black beans that didn have the slimey taste that canned beans can sometimes have.
I was mostly impressed by the overall freshness. I inquired about dessert which I was assured will make itself on the menu soon, I'm hoping churros with vanilla ice cream - pig!
Chino Locos I love you guys but I'm happy to make the slightly longer trip to Toucan Tacos instead.
