Ceviche is good but really needed some spice, good thing they make an EXCELLENT hot sauce. Quite spicy, soooo addicting. Really took the ceviche to a perfect level of texture & flavour. The ribeye tacos were lightly seasoned but really good! Great with the green & hot sauce!

Excellent service ! Un énorme merci à Diego, notre serveur, qui a réagi super vite & avec beaucoup de sang-froid quand mon ami s'est étouffé en mangeant. Il a géré la situation avec calme & professionnalisme, ça nous a vraiment rassurés. En plus, le service & l'ambiance étaient parfaits. On reviendra sans hésiter ! Diego +1000 Aura points

We took the regular ceviche & the mango & habanero one, both were excellent, the calamares are really good as well, as a main I took the birria tacos, they were packed with meat & served with a little bowl to dip in, best Pina Colada I had in a while. Shout out to the little spicy sauce they serve, it's hot, but oh so good!
