I LOVE this place! Casual atmosphere, fantastic food every time. I love the Llanera & the fried plantains are delicious. Make sure to try both sauces with your meal!

Excellent Arepa! They don't skimp you on size so 1 Arepa is definitely enough. Their fresh Guava juice is also great!

Food is good but the whole place smelled horrible... to the point that it was unbearable & we had to leave.

I was in a food-rut & my boyfriend recommended this place & I am so glad he did because it was delicious! Something new that I've never tasted before. Got the avocado beef arepa & feta cheese arepa & it was so filling & savoury! the mango juice was also great. Fresh flavours, lots of options on the menu, & friendly staff. Prices are cheap, you get a lot of quality ingredients in abundance, & it's fast. There was a lineup of people when we arrived so I put my name & number down & after one walk around the block they were ready for us. It's the perfect food to eat out in the park on a sunny day as well.

One of my favorites in all of Montreal! I always go when I'm visiting. The green sauce they serve with the food liquid gold.

Meh, this place doesnt even feel Latin anyone. It lost all the charm & flavor the old place had & now it just feels like 3 amigos. Skip this place if your looking for latin music/flavor/atmosphere.
