Pretty underwhelming experience. The reviews were glowing! But the service was atrocious & they weren't understaffed or slammed by any means, wgucg . The waitress was abrupt (borderline rude) & a very average wait staff, that kept forgetting things. The food came out before our drinks did (20+ minutes for a simple scotch & soda, asked about it 3 times), which was bizarre. Food wise was very ok (prefacing with we are vegetarian), not a lot of options, the quesadilla that my wife ordered was literally a tortilla with cheese inside & a couple mushrooms. I simply wouldn't recommend this place for vegetarians, there's just not enough to try.

Quelle belle découverte. Amateurs de cuisine mexicaine, c'est le spot au centre-ville. Savoureuse, créative & inspirée, la cuisine de rue mexicaine offerte à la table. C'est comme un coup de chaleur dans cette fin d'hiver.
