Yona was amazing! His service was friendly & helpful. This was our first time here & he gave us a nice run down of the menu as well as some recommendations. The good is spectacular. We had baja & chicken tacos, guacamole, & churros. The churros were outstanding. You must order them!

The food was awesome, especially the Korean Steak tacos! The service was great, we completely forgot to ask our waiters name but he was very nice & efficient, & even recommended us spots around town as it was our first time in Montreal! 10/10, we'll definitely come back again if we're ever back in town.
