Some of the best Mexican I've had period. Pleasantly surprised & at such a good price. They were really accommodating to our celiac allergy & the servers were super nice. It's a bit far from the city but not too bad if you're visiting the circuit or want to venture across the river. My favorite food experience while visiting Montreal!

C'était un peu le chaos à notre arrivée, mais une fois à la table le service s'est bien déroulé. La nourriture était super bonne & l'ambiance festive. La musique un peu trop forte, mais très enivrante. C'est notre premier resto mexican dans notre nouvelle région & nous avons été très satisfaites !

Superbe soirée & accueil chaleureux ! L'ambiance est vibrante & colorée, idéale pour déconnecter. Les Margaritas & sangria sont excellentes & équilibrées, & la cuisine suit parfaitement le goût Mexican : la guacamole était délicieuse, les plats sont pleins de goûts à découvrir. Merci à tous l'équipe ultra dynamique, on reviendra !'
