Took my wife here for her birthday dinner, & sooo glad I did. The best mexican restaurant my wife & I have ever been to. Best nachos & quesadilla I've ever had. Service was great & I loved the atmosphere. Everything was hot & fresh & full of flavour.

Malgré une réservation, nous avons attendu plus de 10 minutes pour être assis à l'intérieur alors qu'il n'y avait personne (les clients étaient tous sur la terrasse). Le service était très difficile. Nous n'avons jamais reçu les chips & salsa qu'on avait demandé en entrée. Le serveur est venu nous demander à 3 reprises si on voulait de la guacamole (on en voulait pas). Il a fini par nous apportez des nachos en même temps que notre repas alors qu'on n'en avait pas commandé. Je sais pas si c'est la barrière de langue ou un manque d'expérience. Durant l'attente, on a au moins pu profiter des jouets pour les enfants à l'extérieur & des livres pour enfants à l'intérieur.

Came for supper with family. Had a great meal, the food was excellent. The ambiance inside was nice & service was friendly without being too intrusive or rushed. Would highly recommend the nachos, fish tacos, quesadillas & the arrachera tacos. As the sign says life is short, eat more tacos!

Extrêmement bruyant, service correcte sans plus. Les portions sont très généreuses. Burrito aux crevettes gouteux, une salsa maison aurait été appréciée plutôt que les 2 sauce en bouteilles compressibles. Je n'arrive pas à déterminer s'il se positionne comme fast food ou pas. Je le recommanderais pour un 5à7 avec cocktails & nachos à partager en terrasse

Très bon service, les employés sont soucieux des clients. La nourriture est de bonne qualitée, nous avons partager des nachos à trois & avons eu de la difficulté a finir notre souper. Tous étaient délicieux.
