Burrito Jax, Tako Loko, Tarek's Cafe, Panada Pizza & Point Pleasant Grocery

Burrito Jax (Tex Mex, 3117 Kempt), visited May 5, in honour of Cinco de Mayo. Messy Pork Burrito was ok, but the distribution of meat/cheese/sauce vs. vegetables was out of wack. Chicken Burrito bowl was fine, but not spectacular. Server was friendly. 2.5/5 (50%) chance of returning

Tako Loko (Tex Mex, 3248 Isleville), visited May 14. Ordered 5 tacos: Chorizo (sausage) was good but very salty, Fish was very good and tasted fresh, Pastor (pulled pork) was nice, Suadero (brisket) was just ok, Tinga (chicken) was great. Rice and beans were pretty bad. They were very busy and didn’t charge us for the rice and beans. The tacos were small and a bit pricey, but among the best in Halifax. 4.5/5 (90%) chance of returning

Tarek's Café (Mediterranean, 3045 Robie), visited May 18. Half & Half (beef and chicken shwarma plate) was piled high with salad and not quite enough meat. Falafel plate was also generous, and good, although the pickled bean salad wasn’t fabulous. 3.5/5 (70%) chance of returning

Panada Pizza (Pizza, 56 Supreme), visited May 26. $20.99 for a large one topping pizza and large garlic fingers is pretty good value. Not the best pizza in town, but a good, relatively cheap feed with friendly service. 3.5/5 (70%) chance of returning

Point Pleasant Grocery (Variety, 506 Tower), visited May 31. Not really an eatery, but arguably the best and only place to grab an ice cream before a walk in Point Pleasant Park. Scoops of Peanut Butter Mudslide and Peanut Butter Fudge Crunch were modest but fair. 5/5 (100%) chance of returning
