The location is great right in old Montreal with all the hustle & bustle. A great spot to people watching the patio.
The margaritas were delicious. So delicious it deserved a second for each of us.
The guacamole was made fresh table side & it didn't disappoint. Delicious.
The tacos were also very delicious! We would definitely return the next time we're in the city.
We came on a Saturday night in the summer so reservations are definitely recommended.

The food was good & the patio was a nice spot on that street. Our group had some fish & chicken tacos & guac with chips. The chicken tacos were nice & they made the guac fresh by the table side. We did have a long wait despite it not being rush hour, but the servers did let us know about the wait ahead of time, & overall it was a good service.

We had the brisket & fish tacos, both were really delicious, however the tortillas were very small. No sides included with the tacos. Great service & atmosphere.

Eating there live, the QR menu differs from the online one..... I wanted tacos with arroz y frijoles'rice & beans'...I was told that they don't have that here. A Mexican restaurant without rice or beans? I'm half Cuban & I feel embarrassed.

Great food & great experience. Our waitress was amazing & pulled my daughter over to help her make the guacamole. Birria, fish, & chicken tacos were fantastic.

Let me just start by saying the food was stellar. Fish & Al Pastor tacos plus the tableside guacamole would have been an easy 5 stars.

But the service was awful. Just left in a corner & forgotten about entirely. We were left sitting 30 mins at the end with a cleared table & two empty glasses, just waiting for our bill (after having already requested it). Just awful, awful service. Friendly enough & willing to speak English (much appreciated), but yeesh, be prepared to blow 2+ hours on a couple of (admittedly very tasty) tacos.

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.

More than half the meat in my al pastor tacos was pure thick blubbery fat that I couldnt chew or swallow. I never seen anything like that. I tried swallowing a bit but it made me gag… its like if someone accidentally took the fat scraps bowl & served it to me…
