La nourriture était excellente vraiment proche d'être traditionnelle. Le bol au poulet grillé était parfaitement assaisonné & frais. Le service était rapide & sympathique! Je recommande fortement pour une soirée entre amie ou amoureux l'ambiance est vraiment parfaite pour n'importe laquelle occasion. Aussi le prix est vraiment raisonnable pour le service & la qualité des aliments. Je recommande fortement à aller essayer!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tacos, tequila cocktails & salsa on the table. Coleslaw was unfortunately bland yet bitter. Biggest complaint was that the staff.& owner allowed a drunken patron to chainsmoke on the patio with several kids around. Awful end to an otherwise great evening.

De loin les meilleurs brunchs en ville!

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

Food is delicious & well presented. Mexican cuisine with its own more elaborate personality than the presentations we usually get elsewhere. Drinks look & taste delicious. The Churros are awesome. Great outdoor terrace. Nice & efficient staff.

Après 2 visites (souper & brunch), impossible de ne pas laisser d'avis. Les brunchs sont tellement bons!!! Super goûteux & les portions sont parfaites. Au souper, l'ambiance est festive & hyper décontractée, ça donne envie de revenir pour prendre un shot avec les proprio ou pour siroter un excellent cocktail (margarita vaut le détour) Spot incroyable à St-Lambert, on va définitivement y devenir des réguliers!
