Charles our waiter was very informative & friendly. Service was fast. We had the experience which was a little of everything. The atmosphere was authentic. Try something new was worth it.

Ate at this location before so was aware of the portion size & price. Went for a birthday dinner, waitress could not understand when I ordered a Sol, only to eventually tell me they didn't have any. Appetizers were fine, just extremely small. Fish tacos which I've had before were so spicy I could not get through even 2 of them. When I explained to the waitress she argued with me telling me she had them earlier & they were fine & told me I must have had them at a different location (which was not correct). After this the waitress refused to return to the table & sent someone else to collect the plates. After explaining once again. They eventually took the tacos off the bill. When handed the debit machine to pay, waitress watched over my shoulder as soon as tip option appeared. Would never return to this restaurant.

Souper de fête des mères avec 4 mamans & grands-mamans, & 2 fistons. Assez calme pour un soir de hockey. Malheureusement c'était trop frais pour la terrasse. Mojito & bière lager Escondite excellents. Par contre les plats sont trop petits, avec seulement 2 minis tacos sans accompagnement. Les tacos au bo6et à l'agneau dont délicieux. C'est certainement bien pour le midi, mais il faudrait peut-être élaborer un menu du soir avec des plats plus soutenants. Excellente expérience malgré tout. Donc commandez en double.

C'est rare que je fais des mauvais reviews mais malheureusement je dois de prévenir les gens du mauvais service (inexistant, erreurs à répétition) & des portions complètement ridicule.

Nous avons commandé deux plats & un mojito - résultat: 90$. Je me sentais mal pour celui qui semblait être le propriétaire ou le gérant qui était gêné du service offert par les autres employés.

C'est dommage car il y avait une bonne ambiance sur place & l'endroit est beau.

J'ai aussi remarqué qu'on m'avait charger un plat que nous avions pas commandé - ayant déjà payé, ils m'ont remboursé celui-ci mais sans déduire le pourboire pour celui-ci que j'avais laissé.

Le commerce de la restauration n'est vraiment pas facile, je suis empathique à ce type d'établissement mais malheureusement je ne recommande vraiment vraiment pas.

Wow wow wow. Best tacos I've ever had. Food & drinks were delicious. Everything tasted so fresh. Staff was friendly. We had the birria lamb, shrimp, Korean steak, shrimp & chicken tacos. You have to try the Fuego margarita...a bit spicy but oh so tasty. There are also different flavors of lemonade. Passion friut lemonade was my choice. No complaints. 10/10
