Stumbled by this place by accident & it didn't disappoint! Tried their chicken burrito - it was very large, super fresh & pretty delicious. Excellent value for the money & a healthy food option as it wasn't greasy or oily. Nice interior too!

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!
