Nous y sommes allés fêter un anniversaire & c'était parfait. Service iiiiincroyable de Shana qui a su choisir d'excellents plats pour le menu dégustation (je recommande si c'est votre première fois), les tacos aux crevettes étaient, de loin, les meilleurs que j'ai mangé & je vais au Mexique chaque année!

Excellente soirée, On y retournera sans hésiter!
