Champagne.Butter: Grand Lunch

This Saturday P and I went for a walk. I had only one thing on my mind : tacos.

I fell in love with Grand Electric a few months ago. It was a friend's birthday and the wait was two hours. Two hours! If it was any old Mexican place we'd be hoofin' it to the next joint. But for Grand Electric two hours is worth it. A friend put our group on the wait list and we enjoyed cocktails and snacks at a friend's place nearby while we waited.

At night it's dark (my other name is captain obvious), loud, cramped, and fun! $9 margaritas are delicious and slightly more friendly in price than other Toronto spots. The spicy calamari is so good I'm drooling as I type. It's a great spot for a small gathering of friends.

My other experience with Grand is delivery. Delivered right to your door by Hurrier makes taco night at home slightly more lazy but slightly more delicious. I enjoyed my three bite tacos at home but P found them to be a little on the cold side. I blame the fact that when we ordered delivery it was early spring (cooler weather = cold food) and when he lived in CityPlace. A bit too far for quick delivery.

But lunch on Saturday was delightful!

Their house lager was the perfect pairing with the tangy and spicy taco selection.

P stuck to his faves - chicken and baja fish. I had the fish, pork belly, scrapple, and beef cheek. I love them all but I ended lunch with the scrapple and beef and I think those were my top tacos of the day! But I will say the pork belly with its pickled pineapple was pretty tasty too.

I'll say you can't go wrong with Grand Electric (unless, of course, you're so hungry for dinner you can't wait two hours).
