La carte n'est pas claire
C'est écrit 2 tacos & ça laisse entendre que les deux peuvent être différents
En fait, il s'agit de 2 identiques... & vous avez donc 4 tacos & une addition moins légère... Comme l'estomac
Le service reçu était incroyable. Le gérant, ses employés ont été extraordinaires afin d'accomoder notre groupe de 40 personnes pour un départ à la retraite. Ils ont tout pris en charge, étaient super flexibles & réactifs à nos besoins, en plus de nous servir de la nourriture & drinks délicieux.
Nous voulons définitivement y retourner!!
The Biria was amazing, but the pastor was not incredible; it was pretty expensive for Montreal, but that's expected giving a central location downtown. The drinks were good, waiter super friendly but it took quite a while to have water & we had to ask twice. Overall enjoyed my experience. Was seated at the courtyard patio at the back, & it wasn't super loud, pretty cutesy
