Mon plat était très bon j'ai aimé les saveurs & les portions des assiettes était aussi généreuse. Une bonne adresse pour retrouver les saveurs mexicaines dans une atmosphère très cozy dans Hochelaga. Le service à été le point faible avec comme point fort après avoir mangé dans trois restaurant mexicains dans Hochelaga il est le de loin le meilleur pour le rapport qualité-prix.

11/10 pour la nourriture, les boissons (surtout celles à base de mezcal) & l'excellent service de Natalia, qui était une hôte chaleureuse & organisée malgré l'achalandage. C'est notre nouveau spot préféré d'Hochelaga

Un petit restaurant bien sympathique dans Hochelaga. La cuisine était vraiment bonne, même si pour le prix on aimerait un peu plus, c'est léger. Le service était plutôt gentil mais pas parfait! A découvri
