Great food & great drinks, but truly the people are everything! Shana, Kike, Yona, Jenn, & Charlie were so kind, generous, & friendly. Great conversation, great banter. So welcoming & easy to chat with everyone there. I had a wonderful night because of them, & I had a hard time leaving. Thank you for making a regular Friday night so special

My family had such a wonderful dinner experience here. We tried a mix of four different tacos, & every one of them was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the mango salad, along with the chips & guacamole, which were all fresh & flavourful. To finish off the meal, we had the churros with Nutella - such a perfect dessert! Our server, Yona, was incredibly friendly, attentive, & on top of everything throughout the evening. We'll definitely be back & would highly recommend this restaurant to others.

J'adore ce restaurant, la déco, la bouffe! Super soirée qui aurait pu s'éterniser.
C'est la troisième fois que j'y vais. Le menu découverte est ce que je préfère.

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.
