Amazing experience as always! The portions could be small for some but I think they are perfect & more importantly very tasty. The service was incredible from the moment we walked in, & the bartender was a true standout. After I asked for a surprise drink, they took the time to craft the perfect cocktail. You can tell they really care about what they do. Highly recommend!

We had the pork, lamb, shrimp & fried chicken tacos. We love the lamb best with little spice. We also had the Gyazo Nacho (they are Gyazo but with Guacamole on it) & pork ribs. All the seasonings are perfect!! The person serving us was top notch, it was our first time there, the person recommended the portion which was very helpful! They even try to replicate a drink they don't have on the menu!

J'ai pris le drink du jour (je crois que c'était gin, aloès & melon d'eau) & il était doux & délicieux!

J'ai aussi commandé les tacos Al Pastor. C'était bien assaisonné & goûteux, j'ai adoré.

Toutefois, je veux surtout parler du service qui était impeccable. J'y suis allée seule & toute l'équipe a été adorable avec moi! Ma serveuse Amélie ainsi que son collègue se sont assurés que je ne manquais de rien tout au long de mon repas.

Merci! Je le recommande!
