The food was tasty but nothing to call home about. Portions are good but the tacos had just a bit of garnish ( 4-5 onion little cubes & a couple of pieces of coriander).
We were charged for the salsa!!! No other mexican restaurant has ever charged for!!
The Margaritas ate great!
There was no coffee & even though it was not full the service was slow.
Not a place I'll go back to nor recommend.

Finally we have a good restaurant with a good taste atmosphere & delicious Mexican cuisine in the West Island, that we can enjoy with friends & family. Besides the food, the staff is friendly & welcoming.
Margaritas is a must with appetizers & to end the dinner, a Key lime delicacy for dessert.
Tacos are the perfect size & the texture of the tortilla almost to perfection.
I don't know how much I spend per person because we were invited by our friends.

The food is amazing, the service is great but unfortunately there is no value, way way too expensive, every order is so tiny, 2 bite size tacos for 15$ to eat properly you need to spend like 200$ which in this economy is not realistic unless you have lots of disposable income. Which they had an option in their menu with side servings of tacos with rice & refried beans to offer value to families would make them way more busy because it is really good!

The vibe was inviting - casual, eclectic & welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised. We were having a family dinner for 6 & selected the tasting menu, our waitress Katherine put together a selection of order & each dish came out for us to discover. My faves were the chicken wings, the enchiladas with truffle & the corn bread. The place filled up by 7:30 & the lights were dimmed to reflect the evening vibe. The wait staff explained each dish. We had a wonderful family dinner. I would definitely come back with friends as well.

The atmosphere, service & food are superb. Where it falls short is on portion size to price ratio. If they charged 2-3$ but got 3 tacos per plate instead of two, it would probably make a difference. Kids portion is not sufficient beyond 8 years old. It is the best Mexican restaurant in the area but value needs to be addressed.

From greeting to finishing up, the service was amicable & wonderful. The people seem just as happy as the party celebrating! The timing of each serving was perfect! The food was delicious. The only thing I & a friend of mine didn't like was the fish taco but EVERYTHING else was great!! The drinks ohhh wow fantastic everyone seemed enjoy them! Will definitely be back!
