Cadre chaleureux.
Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & nous nous sommes régalées pour un prix plus que raisonnable :-p
Léger bémol: musique un peu trop forte pour un midi.

Souper en tête-en tête. Tout était parfait du début jusqu'à la fin. Repas délicieux, saveurs mexicaines parfaites & service impecable!

Une des pires escroqueries de Montréal.

On nous vend une formule dégustation'8 plats' sans même annoncer clairement le prix, en promettant une expérience exceptionnelle. En réalité, ce sont de minuscules portions à partager à plusieurs, dont certaines n'ont même rien de mexicain (poulet frit très basique qu'on retrouve dans n'importe quelle brasserie).

Pour le reste : quelques tacos, un peu de guacamole, une mini-salade, des churros à l'unité… & c'est tout. Résultat : 60$ chacun & toujours faim en sortant. Clairement abusif. À ce prix-là, on s'attend à vivre une vraie expérience culinaire, pas à goûter à de simples échantillons.

Une expérience exécrable, je vous conseille fortement de faire demi-tour surtout que Montréal regorge d'excellents restaurants mais celui-ci n'en fait clairement pas partie & n'est absolument pas à la hauteur de sa réputation.
