La nourriture est très bonne, notamment le guacamole & les tacos de cactus. Le service est également très bon. Il vaut mieux prévoir de l'argent comptant, car il y a souvent des problèmes avec la machine à cartes.
Beautiful restaurant. We loved everything we ordered. We started with margaritas: on ice, frozen & Virgin. All great!
The nachos & guacamole are dangerously good. It is hard to stop once you start.
Our mains were fish tacos, chicken quesadilla, potato taco. The fish tacos we're excellent. The potato taco was so surprisingly delicious.
Unfortunately we ate so much that we did not have room for dessert.
The biggest surprise is that we tried fried crickets. To be honest they aren't good but also not terrible. 😁
I cannot wait to return!
Service was slow & my friend never got the drink she ordered. Never told us their card machine was broken until it was time to pay.
We had 3 entrees & 3 mains.
Entree portions good but were super small for the price. 15$ a small bowl of guac is criminal.
The mains we had were the potatos hardshell tacos, which were bland.
The hardshell chicken tacos, which were dry.
The birria tacos, which came with plenty of meat but no flavor.
It was also unbearably hot inside & not very lit up well.
Amaranto Monkland: Entrées: les quantités sont ridiculement petites surtout pour le prix. Guacamole: format mini c'est une cuillère a thé & pour le format petit c'est l'équivalent d'une cuillère à soupe, pour le prix ils nous prennent vraiment pour des cons. Tacos: ils sont sec. Le une étoile va à la margarita glacée qui était très bonne. Aucune climatisation, ni ventilateur à l'intérieur on mourrait de chaud! & quand on arrive pour payer: on nous informe que le seul moyen de paiement accepté c'est le virement interac!!!
It has been just over 10 years since I first visited their basement hole in the wall. Since then they have moved into a beautiful location, hoping to avoid the curse that has befallen so any restaurants before it in that location.
We were 3 people & 2 of us started out with a Margarita on the rocks. It was insanely good, tart, sweet, salt-rimmed, & boozy.
Their lunch specials paired each plate of tacos with their in-house guac & homemade tortilla chips, both of which are insanely good. The complimentary homemade salsas & tortilla chips were divine, though they waste time telling you which of the two is the spicy & which was the mild as both left me burning...though the flavors were insane.
The Suadero, or brisket tacos were delicious, tender, juicy, & a solid 8/10.
The chorizo with melted mozzarella tacos were amazing, cheesy, spicy, oily & perfect, 9/10.
The start of the show was the 10/10 birria tacos. The meat had a bit of caramelization & the birria broth was perfectly made. I may or may not have drank the rest down it was that good.
The lunch special saw us finish with a freshly fried churro that was perfect.
Platters are 3 tacos for about 15-20, which some can say is expensive but the quality of the food is worth the price, & as someone who usually eats a lot, three tacos with the chips, guac, salsa & churro were enough. Barely had room for dinner.
Came for lunch with my friends; had a wonderful experience. The place was not too crowded & the one person was able to man the whole place down.
The food was amazing: tasty & full of flabor. The chips were to die for! The lunch menu was amazing: for 20$ you get 3 tacos, a small guac & chips, & a churro (no picture). The chip & salsa is complementary.
We went to this restaurant at 1pm, a groupe of 6. They brought the salsa & tomatillo salsa to the table, then brought the nachos to nibble on before ordering. The waitress took our orders & they had a lunch special which consists of either Guacamole or pico de gallo with nachos as an entrée with our meal, in addition to 1 Churro at the end for dessert. The ambiance is good, not noisy. The food was very good, typical of good quality food as in Mexico. The Birria tacos was so delicious! 3 tacos & I could only eat 2, very filling & lots of meat, slightly good spicy. The Tacos al pastor & the fish tacos were very good also. Tacos with cactus leaves also good. The horchata was good & refreshing. The pico de gallo was delicious with plenty fresh cilantro. The churro was good, but not fully fried, the inside was still not fully cooked. We will definitely return soon to try other choices. Good typical Mexican food. The only thing I have to mention is the black door, the entrance from the street to the restaurant. There is a black door & on it is written 5626 which is the address of the restaurant. It is very hard to pull & open that door! When I arrived, I tried to open it, there is no good grip on it to pull. For an instant, I thought this is not the entrance & I was going to leave. I waited till someone came out of that door so I entered. My friends had the same experience trying to open that door. I had to go myself to the door & opened it so they could enter!
To the Owner: please fix that door handle or change the handle to have a good grip to be able to pull it open to enter the restaurant.
