We came without a reso on a busy Thursday night. We were greeted warmly at the door & seated within 5 minutes despite the restaurant being full. The restaurant had lovely decor, & a great upbeat energy. The tacos & guac we had were absolutely exceptional & very fairly priced, especially for a busy downtown restaurant. Our server (& assistant manager for the restaurant) Charlie was so friendly & attentive. We even did shots with the manager when he came to chat with us.

Don't miss this gem in downtown Montréal!

A packed spot often means 👌for one reason or another.
This place is all the reasons: atmosphere is awesome, decor is amazing, the vibe is pure enjoyment.
The service is quick, friendly & non-intrusive & that is a fine line to balance.
The food is why you'll come back, over & over again. FYI: the pollos hermanos tacos & the El Chapiflor are 🫠

Our new favourite Mexican restaurant! We went for dinner last night for the first time. Everything was terrific - the décor, lovely menu, delicious guacamole, cauliflower tacos, cornbread (!!) & the service! Thank you SO much for a wonderful experience all around. We can't wait to go back.

Guacamole, Fuego margarita, birria tacos, churros & key lime pie. All were fantastic. Service was great, they didn't rush us. Decor was very good too, as well as prices for the quality. Hoping to return soon.
