One of the best spots for Mexican cuisine in Montreal! I enjoyed tacos filled with chicken & others with meat, & the quesadillas with mushrooms & cheese were great. The atmosphere is inviting, making it a cozy place to dine. Highly recommended for Mecican food lovers . You can take a nice walk in downtown once you finish

Nous avons été surpris par le fait que les mineurs ne sont pas acceptés dans ce resto. Ce n'était pas inscrit au moment de la réservation (sur google réservation). Une chance que la terrasse était encore ouverte! Sinon, la nourriture était excellente! :)

Première expérience, super ambiance, personnel sympathique & de bon conseil pour le choix du menu. Les tacos sont savoureux & judicieusement relevés. La barman avait beaucoup de style pour préparer les cocktails.

3.8 ⭐️La nourriture était très bonne. Cependant le service était moyen. Nous avons reçu les entrées avant les cocktails. Les portions était assez petite même pour un style tapas & les prix étaient élevées.
