I absosikutly loved this place in every respect. Although small in size, it is big in quality, service, & atmosphere. The best margaritas ever! We were 4 & shared 3 dishes & a starter. The guacamole.was perfect. We had steak straps with cactus 🌵 a very interesting & delicious dish. The shrimp dish was great. Service was extremely warm & very appreciated. All in all a wonderful funky place to come back to & rediscover with their wide choice if Mexican dishes you may have never tried. Definitely give it a try!

Reservations highly recommended - it's super busy. I wouldn't bring a party more than 4, it's tiny & cozy which is its charm. Simple menu with great choices. It's a family-owned business & its mexican family-type food. Don't expect the traditional "touristy" mexican parade of dishes. It's authentic as it gets. No wonder this place has been around for more than 30 years! Gracias por llevarnos en el último minuto, todo estuvo delicioso. Bonus if you speak spanish ;)

Great experience! We went in for dinner on a Thursday. We reserved, which was a good thing since it got pretty busy. We didn't have any fish, but we had a mixture of chicken & vegetarian dishes which were all very good. The service was also really great, both waiters were super friendly. I strongly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. It's definitely worth it.

The service was nice & accommodating, the atmosphere was very much a Mexican restaurant appeal, the spacing unfortunately was a little tight for our grouping, the pricing is what you'd expect for a restaurant post covid & the food was on the higher end, but had some dishes that could be more reasonably priced for the taste, all in all, if you want to try a new Mexican style restaurant worth the try & judge if you want to come back again.

Very nice & authentic Mexican restaurant in Lachine. Quaint decor, delicious dishes, attentive service, smiles all around. Fond memories have been created in the five years since I first came to this place.

During the pandemic they started a takeout service & I am excited to get my dinner there tonight. I missed it so much !

Strongly recommended.

Food was okay. I have had much tastier Mexican food. We were pretty much ignored after we were served our main dishes. No one came to offer us coffee or dessert (which is not offered anyway - pity).
The good: Lovely ambience, cosy, not too loud, wait staff very pleasant.
The bad: Pitcher of Margarita was small & way too sweet. Plating & presentation need a little more attention. For Mexican food, I was expecting a lot more flavour, & heat. Portions are not generous.
Suggestions: Put something on the table to munch on over drink appetizers, e.g salsa with tortillas, olives, pickled veggies....be a lot more generous on the portions of rice & veggies with the mains; it's like they are an after-thought. I had a nice pechuga with a teeny, tiny serving of rice buried under some slivers of over-cooked bell peppers. & ONE tortilla chip with a thin line of refried beans piped onto it.
