Première expérience a ce nouveau restaurant, burritos délicieux de même que les cocktails. Super service de la part de notre serveuse, & belle ambiance sur la terrasse, avec la musique! Nous y retournerons c'est certain !

Food here is great. First time we went was for cinqo de mayo. We were seated in the dining side. The booth was very odd to sit in but that's ok. All the food was great besides the calamari which was very underwhelming. Cocktails were also delicious. The music was mostly authentic Mexican but unfortunately switched to terrible reggaeton style as the night progressed. Churros are yummy. Unfortunately the second time I booked, we were seated on the side with the bar. The bartender shook his drinks like you wouldn't believe. I felt like a was being pranked on a show. I couldn't hear or think & neither could my mother, mother in law or grandma. Poor ladies! He kept shaking & shaking drinks so aggressively for really no reason at all. No cocktail needs to shaken that long & hard for each drink it was insane. Food again was delicious & the spicy brownie is literally very spicy! Actually not pleasant as the spice isn't tastey just uncomfortably spicy. Unfortunately the day I bring my mother's & grandma they decide to play loud bumping reggaeton all night. Between that & the shaking drinks we pretty much couldn't hear eachother talk the whole time. My baby didn't seem to mind 🤣 I'll go back but only on the dining side or outside. Never near the bar & that bartender again please! & also just play authentic Mexican music. At least until like... 830pm so people can just relax & dine not feel like they are at a club.

Nous avons adoré notre souper au El Gordo St. Lambert! Il faisait longtemps que je voulais un bon endroit de tacos dans le coin & nous avons bien aimé. Les employés étaient sympathiques & efficaces. Excellent endroit pour jeunes familles aussi

Très décevant car ils n'acceptent pas de retirer les oignons crus (ou marinés) de leurs plats. Dommage, le menu est intéressant mais si on n'est pas capable de manger d'oignons crus, le 2/3 du menu est inaccessible. Notez que leur margharita est excellente à mon avis!

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 service, great atmosphere. The food was so good that even though I was completely full, I still kept eating to the point that it hurt. Would definitely return!
