Bonne ambiance typiquement mexicaine, menus diversifié & vraiment bon pour les amateurs de tacos. Lors de notre visite le service était un peu long. Les portions ne son pas très grosse... Ne pas hésiter à exagérer vôtre commande. Personnellement j'en ai pas eu pour mon appétit.... En faite il y mieux en ville.

Belle expérience culinaire…seul bémol a été de faire honorer notre certificat cadeau acheté sur le site du restaurant…1ère raison du gérant était qu'ils n'avaient pas le lecteur pour scanner le code & ensuite que le certificat n'était pas valide suite à l'entrée manuelle du code dans le système…après insistance, le gérant a appelé sa direction pour se faire confirmer que le certificat était valide. Soyez donc vigilant si on vous dit que le certificat n'est pas valide.
