La nourriture est très éloignée de la saveur mexicaine.
J'ai pris un mole avec du poulet, le mole n'avait que le goût du chocolat Hershey's, & le poulet était cuit sur une plaque sans aucune saveur. Le riz est identique à celui qui est déjà cuit dans le dollarama.
J'ai donné plusieurs chances à cette chaîne, mais je suis très déçue.

C'est le panneau sur le trottoir qui m'a attiré: margarita fait à la main... oui!!! Avec de la lime, pas de'jus' vert (sucre) 🍋?🟩
J'ai été déçu de voir qu'il est arrivé dans une tasse & la glace était en cube & non en Sloche. Pour 13$.
Au goût il était, mais... 🤔
