I didn't like the food. I ordered chilaquiles & the crunchy nachos were very greasy & very poor sauce no beef no chicken at all I have to return it back & change for another option. Tacos al pastor however it's still not a real mexican food & a bit expensive for the portions too.
Although the atmosphere & the waitress were very kind.

Yona was amazing! His service was friendly & helpful. This was our first time here & he gave us a nice run down of the menu as well as some recommendations. The good is spectacular. We had baja & chicken tacos, guacamole, & churros. The churros were outstanding. You must order them!

The food was awesome, especially the Korean Steak tacos! The service was great, we completely forgot to ask our waiters name but he was very nice & efficient, & even recommended us spots around town as it was our first time in Montreal! 10/10, we'll definitely come back again if we're ever back in town.

Le menu en ligne du midi ne correspond pas à la carte. Aussi si vous y allez pour quelque chose de spécifique, vous pouvez être déçus! (Tacos birria non disponible à cette succursale le midi même s'il est sur le menu midi en ligne, & non c'est pas possible de les faire….)

Great tacos & margaritas, & excellent service! Will come back to explore the rest of the menu, but from what we had & saw this is a perfect blend of Mexican & a twist of Oriental fusion....
