Amazing Authentic food with great friendly staff. The entrée mixte to share & filet di flanco as well as the el Pastor tacos are some off the best on the menu

We had a nice time on their terrasse facing the river. The nachos appetizer is big & loaded with toppings. The cocktails are great & they're not stingy on the liquor. The enchiladas & tostadas were authentic & delicious!

Our only complaint is that it took them about 50 minutes to bring the bill after we had finished our meals- it was a Saturday evening, but people were waiting outside for a table.

I've been here a few times, & I really like the place. The service was good, but the food lacked the authenticity it used to have. They added some sort of sauce/dressing on the tacos they didn't have before that I could have gone without.

One of my absolute favourite places to eat in Chateauguay. During warm weather, they have a riverside terrace. Their drinks are really tasty & the food is authentic! Intimate & cozy vibes for a small friend group or a date night!

Je change mon review original puisque l'expérience a changée au cours des dernières années. Les boissons, bien que délicieuses & originales, ne valent maintenant plus la peine. Les "pots massons" tel que vus sur mes photos ont étés remplacés par des verres à moitié plus petits, & pour pourtant le prix lui n'a pas changer. La viande de mes tacos était grise & tiède, tristement l'air d'avoir était réchauffée au micro-ondes pour l'occasion. Possiblement une badluck, le reste de la bouffe était correct, mais pas extraordinaire non plus. Difficile à expliquer, mais la'magie' ou le feeling d'authenticité n'y était plus. La terrasse est nice & ensoleillée, le service est excellent & rapide, mais pour ce qui est de la bouffe (qualité, prix & quantité), je devrai laissé tomber vu la tendance à la baisse lors de mes dernières visites. Ce restaurant est devenu pour moi une ombre de ce qu'il a déjà été, au niveau de la cuisine. À 50-60$ par personne, je vais aller voir ailleurs si j'y suis... Mon review original de 5 étoiles passe donc à 3 étoiles.

Awesome & authentic food! Not your typical, Americanized, Mexican restaurant. Quaint little place, decorated with all the charm that the Mexican culture has to offer. If you like Mexican, you can't go wrong.
