Food is pricey & portions are small ( considering the price)but filling. Is it the nuttiest mexican resto in mtl? No. Is worth a stop? Yeah. Give it a try. Personally, the tomatillo sauce was really good in my plate, but I feel the meat lacks the Mexican zing I've had in other joints. The chips to start are okay. Idk man just... Try it, maybe it's your thing. It's not totally mine though.

Loved them on Monkland & my husband & I made a special trip to them on St. Laurent. Very nice restaurant, great staff, so friendly & welcoming. & the food was DELICIOUS. Truly authentic homemade Mexican food. We were served chips & salsa verde & a regular homemade salsa that was the best Ive ever had. We ordered the chicken tacos & it was sooo good! You can tell that ingredients are fresh, & it is made on the spot. The owner told us about the last Thursday of each month they have flamenco dancers to feel free to come by & check it out. That made us feel special & it sounds like fun. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND, will definitely return.

The food was good, a bit small compared to other authentic Mexican restaurants we usually frequent. The service was good but the only 2 servers were slammed on a sat night. The restaurant itself is a bit small & so their menu but the overall experience was good. The seasoning was perfect.

My 2 daughters & I had dinner here on our last night in Montreal & we all agreed that it was the best Mexican food we've had (disclaimer - we are not Mexican lol). The owner (?) was so sweet & accommodating as well. I inhaled the Chile rellenos. Delicious hibiscus iced tea & chia lemonade. The building/space is also incredibly cool & feels like it has a lot of history. 10/10, no notes.
