The vibe is nice & the decor is cool. Unfortunately, our waiter didn't seem friendly from the moment we walked in, which set the tone for the service. The chips were really good, & the food came out fast, but the tacos were pretty small. Overall, it's an okay spot - I'd probably come back mainly because of the location.

Beau resto, les tacos étaient bons, mais très petites portions. Le service très médiocre, ça l'a gâché mon expérience personnellement.

We loved the Baja Tacos here! We were looking for a Mexican restaurant after coming back late in Montreal from Quebec City. The kitchen was about to close in 5 minutes, but Daniel, our server, accommodated us still. The tacos were amazing.

Mauvais service de la serveuse dès le départ.
Exigez un pourboire plus important lorsque vous avez fourni un bon service. La nourriture était délicieuse..
