On y était déjà allés plusieurs fois & on était contents d'avoir trouvé une bonne place mexicaine. Malheureusement, cette dernière visite a été très décevante : les prix ont augmenté, la qualité a baissé & le service était beaucoup trop lent.

C'est dommage de voir un resto changer comme ça. Ce sera notre dernière visite.

Very good.. unfortunately bad attitude from one of the waitresses. Didn't even say thank you after paying & leaving a good tip. The other waitresses were nicer & more attentive. Maybe that other one had a bad day...who knows... will definetely go back though..

They have a big tv for the World Cup but broadcast the game from their phone & it doesn't work… soooo frustrating !! The waiters were overwhelmed & slow, but the food is great.

Not ready for the World Cup..

The food was fantastic, full of flavor & absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, the service was a huge disappointment.

From the moment we walked in, our server didn't smile or make us feel welcome. She never checked on us to see if we were enjoying our meal or if we needed anything. She didn't bring us utensils, so we had to ask for them, & she even forgot my girlfriend's dish. Throughout the meal, we had to ask other staff members for everything because our server wouldn't even look our way.

The food is truly worth coming back for, but the service needs significant improvement to match the quality of the restaurant.

I came here with a friend on an evening where the weather was patio perfect so nobody was inside. Although the interior didn't look bad, I didn't experience it much. Service was fine. I like that they offer the option to add queso/cheese, really enhances the tacos in my opinion. Overall solid Mexican food, ranks in among the middle in the long list of Mexican restaurants I've been to in this city.

Le restaurant mexicain préféré de mon partenaire & moi! Toute la carte y est délicieuse !
Nos choix de prédilections sont l'aguachile, les nachos, les tacos birria, & la quesadilla rosarito. Accompagné du michelada, & de la sangria rouge. On sort toujours en roulant !
Conseil: s'asseoir au bar ou en avant, si les tables au fond sont occupées le bruit y est plus assourdissant qu'en avant.

C'est une version nord américaine de la nourriture Mexicaine & non de la vraie nourriture Mexicaine. La nourriture était simplement mauvaise, de mauvaise qualité & les portions trop petites.
