Pedi unos frijoles charros, lo que recibi fueron frijoles cocidos con Cebolla, tambien pedí tacos y no estaban preparados como realmente son, si quieres algo que sepa mexicano de verdad aqui no es . Ah y en el establecimiento nadie habla espanol.

Service was extremely slow & inattentive. The pork in the tacos al pastor was dry & overcooked.

I was really unimpressed with this place. The guacamole was good, but I was disappointed by the tacos. The al pastor was basic - can't fault that one. The brisket tacos were waaaay too salty, & were sitting in a pool of their own juices. The tortillas were mushy when they came to the table because of it. I get that we're in the old port, but their prices were absurd. Spending almost $100 for two people to have 4 small tacos each, share a guacamole & have one drink? That's not okay.

-très bon churros frais, mais gâteau tres leches pas le même cas.
-l'absence d'une bonne salsa (une salsa en bouteille ne remplace pas une salsa pour un bon taco).
-La vente de tacos à l'unité serait une bonne idée, afin de pouvoir essayer différentes variétés de tacos.

I absolutely love this place! very charming & warm, & the food is so good & has unique flavours! I ordered the guacamole which they make in front of you, it tastes so refreshing. I also had the fried chicken tacos which was so juicy, fresh & tasty. I absolutely love how generous the chicken is. Big shout out to the chef.

All positive, super impressed with everything. The only thing is that the place is a little cold.

J'ai suis allé manger vers midi car j'ai pensé que la nourriture était si bon que le soir. Quel déception, j'ai pris de tacos au boeuf (viande haché sans aucun saveur & avec beaucoup de piquant) ils ont décidé de le pas charger mais comme même je ne cherchais d'avoir des assiettes gratis, je voulais une belle expérience. En plus ce matin j'ai des problemas a cause du piquant.

Went as a group for Christmas event. Service was very slow for drinks all night, their cocktails looked really good though. Food was tasty, but portions were small. Like... really small. The group menu is fixed price, with one beer & tips: 73$. Guac to share first, one small shrimp tostada (great flavour) & two tacos. The beef quesadilla was even smaller. Not sure where the hype is.

I had the taco beef brisket & it was absolutely delicious!! It was a random stop, but totally worth it. The service & atmosphere was also good! You won't be disappointed. :)

Great place for tacos, with great food & really delicious cocktails. Guacamole made right infront of you fresh is by far the best way to start your dinner.
