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.

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!
