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

Very friendly place that rescued us in a pourring rain summer evening. The overall set-up is nice & looks like a genuine cantina. Food is not classic mexican. Tasty but small bites only. The lemon cake is fantastic

A pretty restaurant, & tacos were tasty, but pretty average. There are probably better tacos elsewhere in Montreal.

Cute place, good drinks, tasty food. Our waiter was really welcoming & polite. Under our table was a bit dirty & I saw a napkin & some food. It wasn't that much but still you want to sit & eat in a clean place!

The stuff was very friendly , service was very good. The service was very friendly. They were smiling they were ready to explain anything we need it…! We were a company of six people we had the same actually opinion about everything….
The food was very tasty for sure. I will come back for the taste of the food…. but portions are very small…..if you really hungry …. It’s not the place to go eat. Most of the persons of the company took second plate for sure…. Even then they were not full.
The Mojitos wasn’t as expected …. My husband find that was less alcohol that it used to have in it…. ….
If someone wants to eat gourmet style maybe that is the place!
