Beau souper de groupe sur la terrasse. Excellent Margarita. Le menu était très restreint car nous étions un grand groupe. Malgré cela la nourriture était très bonne & le service rapide. Les prix sont très raisonnables. Merci à toute l'équipe, au service & en cuisine

La nourriture était vraiment très bonne, tout comme l'ambiance & le cadre du restaurant. Malheureusement, le service a complètement gâché notre expérience.
Nous étions une table de 10 personnes & nous avons eu l'impression d'être surveillés du début à la fin du repas, comme si nous allions partir sans payer ou voler quelque chose. Cette attitude était très désagréable & nous a mis mal à l'aise.
En fin de repas, on nous a pratiquement mis dehors parce que les tables étaient nécessaires pour d'autres clients, alors qu'il y avait en plus plusieurs erreurs dans la facturation. Pire encore, deux personnes de notre groupe n'ont finalement jamais reçu leur repas : leur commande avait été oubliée & le restaurant a fait mine de l'oublier à nouveau prétextant que nous occupions la table depuis déjà deux heures & qu'il fallait libérer les tables.
C'est vraiment dommage, car la qualité de la nourriture est au rendez-vous, mais le service est une véritable catastrophe & ne donne absolument pas envie de revenir.

Some of the best Mexican I've had period. Pleasantly surprised & at such a good price. They were really accommodating to our celiac allergy & the servers were super nice. It's a bit far from the city but not too bad if you're visiting the circuit or want to venture across the river. My favorite food experience while visiting Montreal!

La seule chose que je n'ai pas aimée, c'est ma Sangria blanche qui goûtait trop le jus de pamplemousse.
