Meh- I guess the hype over Grand Electric has fizzled.
Walked in on a Saturday night and the resto was half empty. After a recent trip to NYC and having tried life altering taco goodness, I was hoping GE would deliver the Toronto equivalent.
As everyone has said- the music is loud! Perhaps great for a first date- if it isn't going great you've got the music to end any and all conversations- just eat. I did enjoy the rap music.
Food- I tried one of each taco- disappointments: PORK TINGA- dry, lacked flavour
BAJA FISH- toppings galore, fish tasted like it was previously frozen- had high hopes ...didn't like this one; SPICY CHICKEN- not enough heat, dry
Tacos I enjoyed: BEEF SHOULDER- moist, served with avocado, green onion, shaved jalapeño
CRISPY CAULIFLOWER- great spices on the cauliflower with a crispy/crunchy texture
Every day of the week- $4 bourbon shots
Not a fan of Bourbon so I tried their other offerings
El CHILI VERDE- great flavour with a slight kick (Serrano peppers)
JESUS JUICE- I would liken this to cough medicine...don't get this unless your trying to get over a cold
Service- mediocre, felt rushed with dessert offered as we were finishing our last bite. Ordered another drink as my friend and I were not ready to go being there well under an hour.
On to the next taco joint!
