No Chicken Thursday

Thursday night was a good night to get some tacos from new spot Rebozos at College and Bathurst. It was the second location for this local eatery. Bright yellow paint with paintings and other Mexican knick knacks greeted me as I came through the door. The menu was small and to the point: tacos, quesadillas, pozole, etc. There were some additional items on the sandwich board.

I ordered a mix of 3 different tacos ($10 for 3) and a horchata ($2.50). The drink was sweet and had a nutty flavour. The cochinita pibil was tender, roasted pork shoulder cooked in annatto sauce. It simply melted in your mouth. The beef tongue was soft and had a slight fattiness whereas regular diced beef tends to get tough. The chorizo was also tasty, and lacked that saltiness of typical chorizo. The taco shells had a great chew and held up under the lemon squirt and chili sauces, the latter packing a nice heat.

This was a nice, cheap place to eat but sadly empty tonight. Compared to the mediocre restaurants that populate that stretch, I hope people will discover Rebozos soon.
