Pros: Beautiful ambience & decor, good service, great selection of Mexican dishes some of which would be hard to find anywhere else.
Cons: It is of course the food why we came to this place. We really wanted to try Chile en nugada especially after reading the novel'Like Water for Chocolate'. & what a disappointment when it was served lukewarm. Asked the server & he said it was normal as they did not want us to burn ourselves. Yet the molcajete came extremely hot as expected! Also Chile en nugada came without pomegranate seeds which is a must in this recipe. Budget cuts?
& the molcajete mixte which costs $75 also speaks of budget cuts. It was missing the promised grilled cheese & nopales & had only a small quantity of beef, only 3 small tiger shrimps. It did have some cheap filler that looked like potato flautas.
Overall impression: mixed feelings, probably would not come back.
Service très très long, la serveuse porte des écouteurs & sort dehors pour fumer tandis que nous attendons 10 minutes pour avoir des menus. Aucun verre d'eau, aucune napkins, 20 minutes pour un café.
Merci au busboy qui a pris la relève & qui se démenait pour couvrir ses tables
Je suis allé essayer le buffet & honnêtement, c'est vraiment authentique.
Si vous avez déjà mangé dans un buffet déjeuner au Mexique, vous allez reconnaître tout de suite le vrai style d'un resto mexicain. Tout est super savoureux & bien fait.
& 35 $ par personne ? Sérieusement, c'est presque trop beau pour être vrai. Je dépense plus que ça chez McDonald's & ça n'a absolument rien à voir.
Bref : faites-vous une faveur & allez l'essayer. Vous ne le regretterez pas.
Fuimos mi pareja y dos amigos , hibamos con mucha expectativa por los buenos comentarios antes visto , pero nos llevamos una gran decepción , primeramente por menú era muy basto en cuanto a las opciones y no se si es realmente un restaurant Mexicano ya que yo pedi un dis que chicharrón en salsa verde pero en realidad eran carnitas en salsa , todos los demás platillos , tacos dorados y quesadillas estaban frías no había salsas quedó mi crema , el postre era arroz de leche el cual estaba crudo e insípido. El servicio pésimo y aun así se molestan porque no les dimos propina , por ser la primera vez que fuimos fue mala experiencia y no regresaría.
As a Mexican, discovering this place made me proud. From the decor to the service, everything reflects authentic Mexican culture. I went to brunch (must try ) with my partner & we were really happy to see our culture & gastronomy represented with such care & respect. Paisanos, let's support places like this!
Pas beaucoup de choix , nourriture très ordinaire, pour le prix, nourriture froide & pas beaucoup de goût , aucun service à la table , on dirait qu'ils ne sont pas très organisés, & avant de quitter ils ont apporté pouding au riz & le riz était cru pas trop cuit, en tout cas très décevant comme expérience.
I don't know who give them 5 stars , we just came from this place , 4 peoples for brunch . Overpriced place . Says a buffet , but was nothing to eat , everything is cold , sweet chicken , no posole , service too long , I took frites but wasn't ketchup, Beautiful restaurant decor . . However, the service was slow & a little confused, but the servers ok.
I think those people never visit buffet choice because what they propose cost not more then 12$ . Very disappointed with menu ( absolutely different from picture ) & prices .Never come again & don't conseil to my friends . Wasting money ..
Beautiful place to share with your friends or family, unfortunately the buffet is very small of options, the egg they gave me was cold, the chicharron in sauce was good but the sauce was very liquid, the ranchero beans are the same, rich but a lot of broth, the chilaquiles flat nor did I want to try them, the quesadillas were very watered, in short, the food has a 6 out of 10... & it was very strange for me that in the buffet service they served you was not much amount, asking if that's enough & the dishes were running out & they were late in filling, whenever I went to a buffet, I take what I want & as much as I want.
As a Mexican I had great expectations about this brunch especially because I've been here for dinner 3 times.
Honestly this brunch does not worth 35CAD.
They basically offer you tacos dorados (fried tacos), enchiladas, pozole & eggs…
If this place is run by a Mexican they should know that they need desperately offer: fruit, juice, unlimited coffee, bread, & more options for food. There are plenty of options that could be offered apart from their very sad eggs.
I would recommend this place for dinner & nice drinks, but their brunch is basically made of tacos dorados & eggs. All other stuff are sides!
:( so sad our experience was this bad. I hope the owner can take a look at this & make sure local people get a real Mexican experience because our breakfasts/brunchs are much more than this.
Nous avons été déçus par la nourriture. Nous cherchions une expérience authentique mexicaine. Mon plat était froid & semblait décongelé en partie. C'était fade & répétitif. Moi qui adore le riz, celui que j'ai mangé sur place était pâteux, trop cuit & fade.
Les fajitas étaient corrects, mais nous n'avons eu que deux petites tortilles & un nacho. Pour 32 $ le plat il y a un manque à gagner.
L'endroit est cependant joli…
