Pour ma 1re expérience ce fut très agréable.
En plein'rush' du souper un vendredi soir, on attends un petit 20 min & une table est prête pour nous.
La place est pleine, les gens semblent heureux, la musique latine joue juste assez fort pour que mes épaules veulent être de la partie.
La nourriture arrive rapidement tellement que les apéros ne sont pas arriver. Aucune stress à 36°C un vendredi dans un resto plein, le bar service en à plein les bras & c'est compréhensible.
La pieuvre est excellente & la cuisson était parfaite au point où j'en recommande à ma prochaine visite. Les tacos birra sont de loin les meilleurs dans la sélection fait par notre table & je dois souligner que le plat d'enchiladas est savoureux en plus d'être une belle portion.
Bref une belle soirée une cuisine qui vaut le déplacement.
J'ai déjà prévu y retourner sous peu.

C'est le meilleur restaurant mexicain que je recommande à tout le monde. L'ambiance est au rendez-vous, la guacamole est délicieuse & les drinks sont festifs. Allez-y, vous ne le regretterez pas !

Good food but portion are very small considering the price. I bought Churros for our dessert & had 3 very very tiny churros for 9$ ...not impressed. It's fried dough. But overall the drinks & main dish were very good.

Was in the mood for churros , talk about the biggest disappointment ever. I paid 9 dollars for 3 of them & they were insanely tiny, i have seen straws bigger then what I was given. For the price is definitely not even close to being worth it
