Charming decor, friendly service, & reasonable prices.
We ordered the tapas platter, & everything was fresh, & delicious.

We stopped by to catch a little of the World Cup, but as casual fans who aren't big beer drinkers, we appreciated being able to enjoy great food while watching some of the game

J'ai commandé un repas de 2 tacos + 1 tacos extra. La présentations pour emporter est excellente, les tacos sont excellents mais on aussi l'air appétissant même lorsque rendu à la maison! Tout était frais & les portions généreuses! Le restaurant existe depuis longtemps dans le quartier est c'est toujours aussi bon!

L'impression de voyager tout en restant à Montréal ! La cuisine était excellente & les margaritas divines ! Je recommande fortement. Super service aussi. L'agneau, le boeuf & le porc étaient délicieux.
