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!

Très bon, mais n'allez pas là si vous êtes pressés! J'ai attendu plus de 45 minutes pour un simple burrito pour emporter. Ah, aussi c'était la mauvaise commande finalement quand on me l'a donnée.
