Tasty guacamole, bad drinks. We did not like the service, felt like our server kept'selling', which is the biggest put off.

Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. Korean steak tacos are an absolute must! Very saucy & delicious. If you're hungry, two tacos may not fill you up, but for the affordable price, you could get 4 or an appetizer.

If I could leave this place a 10 star I would. While the food was GREAT; the service is what to rave about. I wish I remembered the name of our waitress who waited our table last Saturday - a group of 7 girls. Her attention to detail was phenomenal i.e. someone from the group was gluten intolerant but she still wanted to the tasting menu, she mentioned how it may not be completely worth it because of her intolerance but offered alternatives for the tasting menu after speaking with the kitchen - turned out to delicious. Another one of us was not drinking; so when she brought/offered us shots she made sure one of them was without alcohol! Thank you for the fantastic service!

Overall a great bang for buck. The tacos were amazing & the drinks were delicious. The service was great & our server gave us some great must visit spots in Montreal. The music was 2000 raggaeton which is what my friends & I love.

Do the dinner "experience" & get drinks. Food was to die for & service was equally incredible-& I'm picky! Steak taco, cornbread, mango salad, chicken wings, nacho gyoza all top tier. Very cute vibe too.

Small portions of decent but overpriced food. Decent to good drinks. It's not your place to go with big crowds. Go there if you want to share a drink with a date & have some snack-sized tacos between sips. This place breaks the golden taco rule: it serves two tacos instead of three.
