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!

Bonne qualité d'ingrédients, nourriture savoureuse! Supers bons drinks & belle terrasse. Endroit parfait pour les familles car plein de jeux & grand square en face ou les enfants peuvent s'amuser pendant que les parents mangent.
