Très déçue de cet endroit. Nous avons voulu commander un dessert pour 2, les churros. En demandant au serveur combien de churrus étaient inclus, il nous a répondu 3 mais nous a dit "je peux en mettre 4 pour vous". On s'est dit que c'était gentil & qu'il voulait nous arranger pour qu'on en ait deux chacun & que ce soit plus facile à partager. Quand le dessert est arrivé, il y en avait en fait 5, soit un de plus que ce que le serveur nous avait proposé mais nous n'avons pas relevé. Nous avons payé la facture sans trop regarder (notre erreur!) & le lendemain (soit aujourd'hui) quand mon amie regarde la facture, elle se rend compte que non seulement les churros nous ont été facturés deux fois (alors que nous n'en avons commandé qu'une fois) mais qu'en plus, un extra nous avait été chargé DEUX FOIS, l'un pour le dessert que nous avons commandé (& qui incluait 5 churros au lieu de 3 sans que nous n'ayons rien demandé) & l'autre pour le dessert imaginaire que nous n'avons jamais commandé/consommé. Comme quoi, il faut vraiment bien regarder la facture. On n'a pas d'espoir de se faire rembourser sachant que nous sommes le lendemain mais on voulait avertir de bien regarder la facture avant de quitter pour éviter de payer pour rien! Je ne sais pas si c'est parce que c'est un endroit touristique & donc qu'ils comptent sur les touristes pour ne pas être vigilants mais si c'est le cas, je trouve ça vraiment décevant! Édit 25 septembre 2024: je vous ai envoyé un émail tel que demandé. En attente d'une réponse.

My boyfriend & I went here to try the tequila tasting. It was superb. The manager (forgot his name) was so well educated & passionate with his tequila knowledge. He explain the proper way to drink tequila, the different types & shared stories of how he was introduced to tequila by his father & grandfather. It was by far the best experience we had in Montreal & would highly recommend it. Unfortunately we stumbled across the restaurant after dinner so we didn't eat anything but we couldn't resist the churros which were amazing. Would definitely come back & would highly recommend this place!!

El gaucamole con los "nachos" estaba bueno. El servicio muy mejorable. Bastante descuidado, además de que vigilaba que dejásemos un minimo de propina (ilegal).

We just had cocktails after a bike ride through Montreal. The Palomas were excellent, but the Cilantro Smash was like a complete salad in a glass with Jalapenos, Cilantro, & Tajin on the rim. Excellent drinks!
