Découvert par le biais d'une recommandation, j'ai passé un très bon moment que ça soit en terme gustatif ou en même d'ambiance, avec des échanges forts intéressants. De court passage en solo à Montréal, j'ai même eu la chance d'avoir des recommandations d'activités à faire par Amélie, encore merci. C'est donc naturellement 5/5 pour moi !
Gustativement: 5/5, service: 5/5 (le personnel est super sympa), atmosphère: 5/5, quantité: 2/5 (les quantités sont trop faibles pour le prix), prix: 3/5 (j'ai trouvé ça un peu trop cher). Overall: expérience sympathique tout de même, merci!
Our recent visit was a delightful experience! We opted for the chef's special for our group, which offered a fantastic variety of tacos & appetizers. The fish tacos, topped with fresh red cabbage, were the absolute highlight. The combination of tender, flavorful fish & the crisp, tangy cabbage created a perfect balance. The restaurant's colorful ambiance & interesting layout added to the overall experience, making it a great spot for a casual night out with friends or a business meeting lunch. It is a perfect middle-of-the-road restaurant that offers delicious Mexican food & a lively atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone in downtown Montreal looking to enjoy great tacos in a vibrant setting!

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!
Amazing food, absolutely amazing. Service was great, staff is very attentive & courteous even though the place was very busy. They put to shame many other "fine dining" places, period. Highly, highly recommend!+

Great dining place. We went there for dinner & we could not decide which dish was the tastiest. The service was amazing & the drinks too :) we shall definitely return there
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
Such a cute atmosphere & delicious food. We walked in for a late lunch & they accommodated us quickly. Guacamole was spot on. I loved the tuna tostadas & the pumpkin seeds on top. Loved the unique combinations of flavors! Definitely worth a visit.
