Had a good time, the place energy was great, servers were nice & polite.

The food to be honest a amazingly tasty. Especially the Pork Ribs with cherry sauce & taco el pastor.

The cocktail were great also they had a very charismatic bartender that puts effort in the drink.

They made Taco Friday our best day 🌮

Absolutely disgusting. One taco was missing, & there was no garnish, no cilantro, no lime. The onions & pineapple looked shrivelled up & smelled old, like they'd been sitting around for who knows how long. The food was ice cold, swimming in grease, dry & completely flavourless. It's obvious the restaurant didn't even bother to heat anything before sending it out, despite the delivery driver having an insulated bag. Honestly, this was borderline inedible-tasteless, sloppy garbage. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! I wouldn't feed this to my worst enemy.

Very disappointed. There was more mayo than fish & more cabbage than chicken in my tacos.

I got a 2/1 taco al pasto- so I was expecting 2 plates for 2 people- one box for tacos. Pretty bummed out it s delicous but I was expecting a certain amount for the price & the advertising. Like normal price would be like 20$ for 2 tacos!!???

The portions were miniscule. Four tiny tacos cost over $30 & the service was sub par.

The birria taco was the highlight of the meal for me. Really delicious.
However, other tacos were dry.
I also loved the corn bread. I just wish they were more generous with the butter :P

Pretty good taco restaurant. Ordered tacos Al Pastor. It comes with two tacos which is not enough for a meal. So I had to order 2 portions to get 4 tacos. So the portions are small, & it can get pretty expensive. The tacos & one Diet Coke came out to ~38$ (before tip). The tacos were very tasty & enjoyable. Service was a little slow but everyone was very nice. The atmosphere on the terrace on Wellington street was fantastic. All things considered, solid Mexican restaurant.

Really enjoyed the classic margaritas, guac, cornbread & shrimp tacos! 🌮 The cauliflower tacos were a little underwhelming, but they still went down fine. Amazing mural & so much colour in their decor. Friendly, funny staff too. 🙌
