Another wonderful evening at my favorite local home! It is unpleasantly cold out; however, this did not stop me from heading out to Mexico in the heart of Saint-Lambert. Despite this, it was packed & the staff were on top of their game (as usual). The quesadillas were on point & the soupa tortilla… ooh ❤? I thank you all for such an amazing experience each time & thank you for offering me a glass of wine. So sweet! I am humbled. ❤?

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.
