Food was amazing! We started off by having the nachos & guacamole then for our main dish we had the 3 tacos birria, french toast with ice cream & crème brûlée pancakes. The pancakes was pretty big so it would be enough for one person or to share among each other.
Overall, the staffs were very friendly & nice. They accommodate to all customers with respect! For sure will come back !

They Could do better with service came at Cinco da mayo sat for almost 30min no one asked if we needed anything it wasn't even that busy..otherwise the tacos & the margaritas were good
Very cute Mexican spot! I went on a Thursday night, & even though it was busy, they did their best to get us a table. The staff was friendly & super kind. I had the birria tacos with a strawberry margarita🫶🏼everything was very fresh & really good.
Service can be a bit slow, but the quality of the food makes up for it. For dessert, we shared churros with ice cream. The churros were to die for😩so fresh !! But I'd probably skip the ice cream next time since it was a bit too much.
Overall, I really enjoyed this place. Just come with a bit of patience, as service may take longer than expected 😬but the food is definitely worth it!
Tout était excellent, nous avons goûter à trois sortes de tacos différents & nous recommendons fortement le birria & le poisson. Propre, bien ambiancé, pas trop d'attente malgré que c'était rempli & les meilleurs nachos que j'ai mangé!
Horrible, j'ai commendé un civiché de poisson: immangeable! Le poisson n'était même pas coupé & j'ai été incapable de le couper avec un couteau à steak!
& le civiché & les tacos au beuf de mon ami goûte la même chose. & quand je l'ai retourné & commandé autre chose, ils ont refusé de me le servi
Mon palais n'a pas été stimulé ainsi depuis mon voyage au Costa Rica, les tacos étaient d'une succulence imbattable, l'ambiance & la décoration du restaurant sont sublimes. Tout simplement a hidden gem 💎
The restaurant itself is cool. Authentic Mexican with dark interior, loud music. It was crowded & seating was Very tight squeeze. The birria taco was the star of this meal, the flambe pancake was fun & very'social media' forward, but wasn't very tasty. The staff were nice but when it came to settling the bill, they took entirely too long. Overall, it's a fun, trendy spot thats great for younger crowd & we're glad we got to experience it.
My boyfriend & I visited this restaurant for Valentine's day, & it was such a nice restaurant! We ordered a daiquiri & a litchi sour (4.5/5) as drinks, then a burrito & birria tacos (5/5). The tacos were so crunchy & delicious! The only thing I wish was different is the seating: we felt pretty crammed next to the enterance, despite the other available tables behind us. Overall though, we had a fun night there!
Petite fin de soirée tranquille avec une collègue de travail un lundi soir. Les tacos El Pastor sont savoureux avec ingrédients frais & de qualité. J'ai pris le cocktail Maracuzcal car j'apprécie le Mezcal & c'était très bien balancé, fruité acidulé & goûteux. Ma collègue a demandé une version de Pina Colada sans alcool & c'était incroyablement goûteux, crémeux avec des morceaux de coconut. Un vrai cocktail dessert!
Amazing birria tacos!
The broth is rich & flavourful, the tortillas are good, & the beef is extremely tender. The side of chips & guacamole were a nice touch. Service was very fast, however the tables are very close to each other which makes the seating a bit cramped & uncomfortable. We will certainly be back!
