This place is amazing. We were taken care of from the time we booked our reservation for 11 to changing the amount of people (quite a few times). We were treated as though we were friends & family. We were seated quickly, able to order drinks immediately while waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. Our waitress was so patient with us as well as so much fun. We were served our food quickly & it was delicious. Some of us even ventured in trying the brown (hot) sauce. The owner also came over to our table & gave us a round of tequila shots, delicious. These shots are one of their own recipes, we recommend you try it. We really enjoyed their margaritas, also a special recipe. We will definitely be back.

La nourriture est excellente & le service impeccable. Le restaurant offre beaucoup d'accommodements pour les mets sans produits laitiers & sans coriandre. Les bols sont délicieux. Les enfants peuvent jouer dehors. Je recommande vivement

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!
