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.

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.

I love this place! Great margaritas, nice food for very decent price, & not too busy. A nice place that I highly recommend.

They have a Tapas & Margarita menu for 25$, so worth it!

Everything came warm & tasted delicious.

Juicy meats & succulent food.

Very delicious & well priced for the meal.

I'm full lol & I only had a burrito & some guacamole.

Very good ambience & staff is very friendly.

Will recommend if you want tapas for 25$ with drinks & dessert.
