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!

Service lamentable, pas d'intérêt pour la clientèle, oublie des commandes, ont aurait dit une garderie, des jeunes sans expérience, peut-être aussi mal géré ? C'est regrettable d'écrire cela, ça gâche une soirée...

C'était délicieux! La quesadilla au pastor était exquise, avec un vrai goût mexicain. Les sauces étaient tout aussi savoureuses, & le verre de bière était grand comparé à ce qu'on sert dans d'autres endroits, où ils sont souvent trop petits - ça m'a vraiment plu. Le service a été très rapide & très courtois. Les prix sont un peu élevés, mais bon, c'est pas mal comme partout ailleurs. En général, une excellente expérience & j'ai bien hâte d'y retourner très bientôt!
