LET’S TACO ‘BOUT IT

Re: “,” May 4, 2017

I fully support Anya Levykh’s review of Tako, not because I’ve been there and have an opinion about the food, but because a food critic’s role is to be critical of the food and service presented on a particular day. It is certainly not to promote restaurants in the hope they will direct advertising dollars toward the critic’s employer, or to write favourable reviews regardless of the dining experience. As a journalist, she is expected to present an unbiased account of the restaurants she reviews.
Perhaps the Tako chef and staff were simply having a bad day when Ms. Levykh visited. If this is the case, the proper course of action would be for the owner to politely suggest to the Westender that she visit again sometime over the next few months to give them a second chance. –Adrian Huzel

My boyfriend will be visiting from Mexico next weekend. We were – and and are – still planning to check out Tako. We’ll share the real meal deal. –RDz

Our neighbourhood is losing all of its charm. So sad. –Torri Enderton

I love this bakery. Hopefully it will be replaced by another ‘culturally diverse’ mobile phone store. –Ari Ron
