I have had mexican food for over two years now & I have never seen a restaurant serving two tacos per plate. The cheese in the nachos wasn't melted & had a very weird taste to it. I ordered a chicken burrito bowl & I was surprised to find that the rice was not very good. Overall, I wouldn't say this is one of the best mexican joints to have food. The servers forgot giving us water although multiple requests were made. However, the atmosphere is very nice.View more

We tried the grilled chicken bowl, which was tasty. The combination of salad, rice, guacamole & grilled chicken can't go wrong. The portion was good enough for one person & it was 18$. Liked the food!View more

La nourriture était bonne mais c'est overprice. Cela nous a pris plus d'une heure à recevoir notre commande. Le service est très lent !View more

Excellent service from the moment I walked in. I had ground beef tacos that tasted better than I was hoping for. I will go back.🌮View more

Nice, cozy Mexican restaurant blocks away from the Atwater market. I had the avocado tempura 🥑 🌮 tacos which were delicious. The marinated onions were just perfect, not too spicy. The guacamole & salsa with nachos was good too, salsa has a smoky flavour. Can get a little loud with the trucks on Notre-Dame, but overall nice vibe & was satisfied with the service.View more

Came here with some friends during the week after work. We enjoyed sitting outdoors & enjoying the warm weather. I like that they have daily specials. Unfortunately I had my heart set on trying the birria tacos but unfortunately those are only available on the weekends. The food is ok, & for the price we only got 2 tacos (ordered the fish & the avocado tacos). We also ordered chips with guac & salsa & was also disappointed by the size of the portion for the price that we paid. We did however enjoy the assortment of chili sauces they offered with our meal.View more

Attention au menu de groupe, pas worth! Trop cher pour peu & qualité bof, vaut mieux reserver plusieurs petits groupes pour commander a la carte. Le serveur ne voulait pas accomoder pour des options vege comme le menu etait fixe. Il disait que cetait inpossible apres avoir demandé, mais est revenu a une des filles du groupe pour lui offrir des taco vg. J'ai du argumenté pour en avoir meme si javais demandé la meme chose avant le souper. Drole de service.View more

Overall good atmosphere & food but please when you serve wine, come at the table with the bottle. Don't come directly with the glass. How can I trust you that you serve the correct wine & not another cheap option in the back. Thank you.View more

I visit this restaurant every time I'm in Montreal (30 times so far?) Simply put, the food is great but the service isn't good, especially this time. We waited 20 minutes for the waitress to take our order, she didn't check to see if the food was fine or if we needed anything (didn't have napkins so I had to take them from another table because she wouldn't even look at us when she walked by at the other end of the bar), didn't ask to refill our drinks... basically didn't see her until we stood up to pay because we wanted to leave (waiting 15 minutes with not even a glance to see that we were completely done our food). Whoever owns this place knows exactly how to make Mexican food... delicious, great music & location. Just don't expect the service to be great. It might be because I go during the day (12-4)/not prime time, but I shouldn't see the waitress only at ordering & paying time.View more
