This restaurant was incredible! Their tacos were delicious & came out very quickly! I ordered the chips & guacamole & they made it at our table! The patio was beautiful & the staff was very friendly! Would definitely recommend!

Excellente expérience ! La nourriture était délicieuse, les portions généreuses & l'ambiance très agréable. Un grand merci à Marilyn, qui a offert un service exceptionnel du début à la fin. Elle était souriante, attentionnée & très professionnelle, ce qui a rendu notre visite encore plus agréable. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant & je reviendrai avec plaisir !

On s'est présenté sans réservation & on a eu une place de choix sur la terrasse vers 17:30. La margarita était excellente. Ils font la meilleure guacamole en ville. Ils la font devant toi. Très frais. Le repas est complet & les portions sont suffisantes. L'endroit est très bien localisé dans le vieux port & près de tout pour marcher après. On a été très bien servis par Vanida. Très polie & courtoise. Pat & Matt la recommande. Merci!

Food was delicious, no problem there. But bad service ruins everything. Sat outside, 7 tables, no waiter for twenty plus minutes. Took an hour & a half after initial chips/salsa to order food. No refills, no eye contact when they would walk around. Recommend hard pass & keep walking to the restaurants in old town.

Had the best time here.
First, the Al Pastor Tacos are simply delicious. Everything is on point with the flavours.
Our service was also fantastic! Kind staff, very classy as well.
Highly recommend.

Went here for a quick drink & dinner with my friend! Super cool ambience -there's a downstairs where the bar is, that has a speakeasy type vibe & a massiveee terrace - cant wait to try it out this summer! Our waitress was Lili - she was super sweet, & made me a great mocktail!

Unfortunately there were some other clients in the restaurant that were mistreating her & even began to raise their voices (embarrassing for grown women) but Lili remained calm & handled the situation well despite their bad attitudes.

Woukd recommend to give it a go this summertime!!

The drinks were genuinely good, which is the only reason this isn't one star. Service was a different story. We tried multiple times to get our server's attention & were ignored. When she finally came over, she yelled at us. When we raised it while paying, her response was that she yelled because we had been yelling at her, which was not true. We were not raising our voices at any point.

Mistakes happen in service, & a simple acknowledgment would have gone a long way.

Being yelled at & then accused of the same behavior is not how you treat a paying customer. I'd come back for the drinks if the service were different, but based on this experience I can't recommend it.
