Very good burritos & friendly staff & service but I was really turned off by a 16 dollar beet & goat cheese salad that was so small & stingy, it was absurd for the price. It's a shame, as the place has decent Mexican fare & a nice terrace.View more

We stopped by this place on a last minute reservation & loved it ! Really gorgeous decor on the walls 😍 It was super crowded but the staff was super nice & friendly with excellent service ☺? We had the Barbacoa / Lamb tacos & the Barbacoa / Lamb burrito & it was really delicious ❤? Cannot wait to go back to this awesome 10/10 Mexican restaurant & try other items on the menu ! UPDATE: Went for brunch & had coffee, mimosas, nachos, quesadillas, avocado toast, Huevosrancheros & it was super delicious !View more

The tacos are good. The service was fine. Ordered a pint but were brought a half pint. Figured they would just charge us for a half pint. Second beer was a full pint, but the waitress didn't seem to understand what size a pint is. When brought to the table she implied she was doing us a favour giving a'larger' beer size. We were charged for full pints. Super odd.View more

We reserved a table for 2 on a night when a Cuban band was performing. I honestly didn't realize how load it would be. My mistake. We asked to sit outside. Even though the terrasse was closed, the owner turned on the heater for us & serviced our table outside. We listened to the music through the window! Very accommodating, professional & warm ambiance.View more

Food was awesome & staff was friendly! The environment was also very cute & the portions of food were decent depending on the meal you ordered. The enchiladas were great & very filling. The only downside would be that we were a large group & the restaurant is quite small, making it a bit tight/uncomfortable for all of us.View more
