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.

Excellent nachos , jalapenos were fresh & spicy 🌶️. Adds some chicken fresh out the kitchen! Ordered a paloma from the bar as well, well done. Dont like the bar placement though but thats a small detail.
