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!
We came here with a group of 11 for a bachelor party & they were so very hospitable! The food was incredible & came out quickly, the decor all over was just so fun, & all of the staff were patient with us & treated us with such kindness. Recommend this to anyone local or traveling to Montreal!
The food is very good as well as the vibe. Suitable for dates or catch up with friends. I like the waitress, we forgot to order the dessert in the end but she offered it for free as we paid before her shift ends. Will definitely visit again
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!

Great if you’re looking for good Mexican food & a great vibe. Went several times with colleagues for after work drinks. The service & the vibe is always on point.
I went here on a Saturday night at about 9 without a reservation, but they were fortunately able to give me a table for 2, without any wait!
My friend & I first had cocktails which were quite nice! One had jalapeños & was a bit spicy, while the other was quite strong, which I enjoyed.
The tacos were very flavourful & the texture was perfectly crunchy but not too crunchy. I’ve been here once before & I’ve enjoyed it both times now. Would highly recommend!
the food is always fresh, well spiced, cooked & presented. I have tried 90% of the menu from tacos to the chicken wings (the best wings ever), the salads & the desserts & everything is fabulous. The service at the bar is great & they tend to the client's needs well. The barmen are all very friendly & cool. However, one female server was incredibly rude to us one time. We come there to eat all the time & she treated us like non-clients once. My aunt had already payed the bill inside of the restaurant & this particular server taught that we did not pay & as we tried to leave, she blocked our way & put her arms in front of us like we were robbers or something. My aunt & my mom did not have & directly handled it with the manager who was understanding & shocked of her employee's behavior.
