Absolutely amazing food & drink, highly recommend! The place is small & packed with lots to admire about the interior decorating. Two tacos for $12 is well worth the quality & portion you receive in return. Service was pretty slow, but they were pretty busy & I'd still go back.

Quelle belle découverte sur la rue Drummond! Nous avons passé un moment fantastique & tout était absolument délicieux.

La fraîcheur des ingrédients se goûte dans chaque bouchée, surtout avec ces tacos garnis de chou rouge croquant. La présentation était soignée & les saveurs parfaitement équilibrées.

L'ambiance est chaleureuse & très accueillante. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la sélection de boissons, incluant cette bière à l'étiquette originale qui accompagne merveilleusement bien le repas. Une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de bonne cuisine.
