Best of the City 2013: smoky shrimp tacos that pack more punch than pricey competitors
The Dundas West fish shack feels like a beachside concession stand—one filled with Bellwoods bocce ballers instead of surfers. They’re queuing for top-notch shrimp tacos that easily best pricier versions in the rapidly expanding tacoverse. Springy shellfish are dusted with toasted cumin and seared just enough to imbue them with flame flavour without turning them into chew toys. They’re topped with lime crema and mango-habanero salsa. Each one is gone in two mouth-burning bites. $3.50.
The Happy Hooker, 887 Dundas St. W., 647-769-4243
