Hidden gem in Pointe Saint Charles with an amazing $25 tapas menu that includes a delicious margarita or beer. Highly recommend the quesadillas, burritos, tacos, & bowls. Chips & guac are also great. Plus, has a nice terrace in the summer.

Food was delicious & fresh! Got the enchiladas mix vege & quesadillas mix vege. Ambiance was perfect, very cute spot, the music wasn't too loud as well which is hard to find. Service was fast & nice too. They are also having an event on Feb 14th dancing & live music. Lots of vegetarian options too.

After reading the reviews thought this restaurant would be authentic. Had the chicken quesadilla to go, worse mistake ever, the chiken was almost non-existant in the quesadilla. The rice tasted terrible it was dry & clumpy, the beans were dry & tasteless. I would love to tell you about the salad but there wasn't any despite it being advertised that it comes with the meal. Over all worse mexican experience ever & will not return.
