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.

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.

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.
