Two days after opening, the buzz about Grand Electric is already out, with line-ups well outside the door. If you aren't there before 7 you may as well go home and watch Jeopardy with your Lean Cuisine. Dishes come out fast and furious, fresh and flawless. It's totally mind-blowing how such basic food items can be composed with such intricate detail. Grand Electric will have you stomping your feet and pounding the table with excitement, oohing and ahhing with every bite. Perhaps I exaggerate a tad, but not much. Perfectly simple and simply perfect food that might have you licking and/or eating the paper it comes served on. Expect delicate, thoughtful quality not often seen in usually robust Mexican cuisine. Few restaurants get so many things so right from the get-go. It is indeed a rare and beautiful thing to behold. But Grand Electric is evidence that with the right mix of passion, and a well-thought-out idea, showcased in a friendly unpretentious atmosphere, that the first time's definitely a charm.
Grand Electric is on F-I-R-E. Long the cool kid on the Parkdale block , boasting lineups out the door for their tacos, PBRs and cocktails, now the stars – and supermodels - are getting in on the action.
Grand Electric, a trendy barbecue spot in Parkdale, offers two types of wings on its menu. The Mission Wings are dusted in mole with valentinas sauce, crema and sesame seeds, while the Mexi Wings are tossed in barbecue sauce and garnished with green onion. The wings are best paired with one of the signature cocktails, and in the warmer months, best enjoyed on the backyard patio.
