Local Mexican

We went out for dinner last night to El Taco, a little hole-in-the-wall 'authentic Mexican' place on Davie Street north of Granville. I have been looking for a place to get decent Mexican food since my other new favorite Mexican place (Chilo's) was forced to close down for food safety reasons. I guess that's one thing you have to be careful of... sometimes authentic food is actually illegal. Chilo's made the greasiest soft taco imaginable for $1.50 and it was absolutely delicious.

Anyway, El Taco was unfortunately nothing very special. The quesadilla was marginal. I had a tamale that was marginal, and some chorizo soup that was marginal. In sum, it seemed pretty expensive, too, but maybe that's the price you pay for a kitchen that's up to code.
