Just a reminder to hit up those taco patios and invite everyone including mother nature before summers up.
Noteables include Mexitaco, Dos Amigos, and La Taquiza. Dos Amigos really has the best one, the rest are just borrowed sidewalk.
La Taquiza is the only one with authentic mexican muskoka chairs…
Dont get me wrong, I dispise burrito places like this, but ehhhh you gotta eat. A $30 gift card will probably fork you a burrito and a milkshake, or whatever junk they serve.
One of our millions of loyal followers, Taco Tim, sent in some info about a spot in the junction called El Rio Bravo. Apparently they have dollar tacos on sundays.
I know what I’m doing next sunday. Review coming soon
The grand opening of Chipotle at Yonge and Egg was yesterday. I gave em a day to get their junk together and impress my shorts off.
Wasnt expecting much since this place is more of a burrito joint, but I just moved into the neighbourhood, so I had to give it a try since it might be feeding me for the next few years.
First off, Chipotle goes against the very first rule of a good taco shack: homeless bums. I saw none. In fact I saw the opposite everywhere. Just dudes in boat shoes and flocks of girls eyeing my taco skills. The inside of Chipotle is some modern crap, with metal tables and some ultra bright heat lamps youre supposed to chow down under. Dont forget this place used to be owned by my highschool payroll, McDicks (employee of the month Jan 2000 whut whut).
They assemble the tacos like you would a burger, which is not a good thing. Lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream all crowd my poor little cubes of taco meat. Felt like I was eating a salad on a bun. All served on some styrofoam old el paso type of flour tortillas.
Whos that hiding under my salad
For meats, you can choose from grilled steak, chicken, barbacoa, carnitas and some veggie option for the sensitive type. Barbacoa and pork carnitas are probably your best bets as they come shredded and dowsed in sauce. Otherwise, they all pretty much taste exactly the same.
The steak comes in fatass cubes that although look bloody, are actually still tough shitty cuts of steak. The chicken comes in cubes too and doesnt really have any spices or taste to go with it. And finally the Barbacoa is shredded and would probably taste alright if they didnt dump a salad on top. Definitely need to load up on their chipotle tobasco sauce to make these things edible.
bak bak bak
moo moo moo
Theres just no care taken in putting together the tacos here. The cheese is ice cold along with the lettuce, a turd of guacamole is like a buck fifty extra, and the poor, dislexic girl at the counter didnt know what cilantro was. Chipotle is what Lebron is to me right now, just an overhyped corporate machine with no heart. Sure Chipotle is known for their supposed fresh local produce and ability to drive to the paint consistently, but it does nothing for me. I do not root for the big guys, I’d rather just stick to the veterans like Mexitaco and Horrace Grant. Nothing fancy but damn good players. You know what i mean
Rating: 2/5
I get stopped a lot on the streets by ruffians asking me how could the highest rated taco joint in the GTA be right outside Vaughan Mills, home to grade 9 skanks, pedos in that build-a-bear workshop, and all around douche bags???
I was starting to second guess my bullet proof ratings system, so I went back with my pal Jon. Now Jon’s going into a career of denture making, so I wanted to give him the best taco meal he could ever dream of before he enters a field with the highest suicide rate. Im sensitive that way.
The outside patio was looking mighty tempting with their authentic mexican muskoka chairs, but it was just too windy. Inside, we get a nice look at their new projector screen thats up for watching the world cup. Go in for a 10am game and you can order some mexican breakfast. I need to get on that one morning.
A 5.5 earthquake just shook up the GTA, in part due to taco flatulence during the lunch rush.
Just a heads up that La Taquizza in Vaughan is unrolling their mammoth sized projection screen to watch all the world cup games this month. For some of the 10am games, they will be serving a special mexican breakfast.
They only serves mexican breakfast once every 4 years so go get it!
Steve Kerr managing Grant Hill and Steve Nash. This has EVERYTHING to do with the secret to a great taco.
I took the girly out for some fancy food because she finished university with all As on her transcript. Im pretty sure she could invent a taco better than anything I’ve ever eaten, but shes going to use her brain powers for medical stuff instead. I guess we have different definitions of helping people.
We pass on the taco shacks and go for Moxies.
I thought I was going to have to settle for a spinach salad with some girly stuff on top, but then I saw they had California Fish Tacos on the menu. It stood out more than me at P-mall, so I had to order.
