Food was very very good. A bit overpriced in my opinion, but a nice spot for Mexican food once in awhile. Only remark I have is that service quality was average.

Great food & service. Sometimes, some tacos can be a bit blend. But everything is always fresh & well prepared.

Nous avons pris le forfait avec plusieurs plats & c'etait tres bien. Mais en general je trouvais les plats tres salés, voir le tartare au thon que je n'ai pas pu manger. Notre serveuse était vraiment sweet!

Service ok & for the food it felt microwaved the wings & ribs I can't say for sure so maybe the service was slow & the tacos felt the same. I prefer the Drummond one much much better.
