My favourite taco spot! Their Cuban sandwich is a must try, very fulfilling & comforting! Their sauce & guacamole are amazing too. The only downside is that I don't live close to it so that I could have a weekly taco night.
Un bijou de resto tex-mex ! J'y reviens sans cesse depuis des années. Le goût des plats est imbattables. On se sent comme si on était accueilli par une famille mexicaine qui nous cuisinait des plats maisons. Tellement réconfortant comme endroit. & ils utilisent pleins de beaux légumes (chou-fleur violet, brocolis, poivrons de couleurs, etc), c'est tellement apprécié de voir autant de belle qualité dans nos assiettes pour des prix aussi raisonnables. C'est vraiment un endroit coup de coeur. Exquis à tous les niveaux !
C'est bon, mais pas excellent. Prix quand même élevé je dirais pour ce que tu as. La horchata maison est super bonne. Service convivial & cuisine rapide.
