Nowhere else I'd rather go for tacos & margartias while in Montreal. My office is just up the street, so whether it's popping in for a quick lunch bite with a cheeky margarita or coming here with a big group of friends, the food, culture, vibes & staff are so lovely!! Yona, the bartender, even gave me a complimentary tequila shot because i had to go back to work! Highly recommend.

The restaurant has great fusion Mexican vibes to it. The food tastes good but it could've been better, it's American Mexican, not traditional. The portions are really small, you really have to go with App, Salad, Tacos & Dessert to fill yourself.

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 🫠
