Super service, très rapide. Belle ambiance! La nourriture est délicieuse, nous avons mangé la pieuvre en entrée & les dégustations en repas & ce fût plus que bon ! Même chose pour le cocktails. Belle présentation des assistés & des cocktails. Je le recommande!

Mes enfants & moi avons aimé en général. C'était correct mais sans plus. Très bon service qui vient avec une facture assez élevé mais je m'y attendait vu que tout augmente.

We arrived at exactly 830 for an 830 reservation. After giving my name they said they didn't have my reservation. I showed them my confirmation & they still couldn't find it, until they did. Apparently we were already here (). Sat down around 840 & wasn't seen until 30 mins later.
Guacamole is made in front of you. Interesting concept but the end result was bland. My date ordered the fried chicken tacos & were good. I ordered the beef brisket tacos & was a bit disappointed. Beef lacked flavour & sauces lacked heat. The place is incredibly small btw. There was a massive group beside us that were standing because they didn't have enough seats. Was distracting & bothersome.
Wasn't horrible but would not return.

Food & service were great, super friendly staff! However, while ordering, we were asked if we would prefer the specials without knowing they were twice the price of what we had originally chosen. The food was great, but there was a shock when the bill came. Could have been our fault for not paying close enough attention to the menu, but we also found it strange on the part of the waiter to suggest something else as if what we were originally ordering was not good enough.

Il fait trop froid dans la partie du bas du restaurant au vieux port de mtl. Les tacos aux crevettes étaient sublimes & l'assiette à partager à 2, était aussi excellente.

Amazing service. Great energy. Waitress was super helpfull with meal choices. The music &. ambiance was delightful. I asked a gentleman to tell me story behind Catrina. He spoke to me in spanish. I understood every word. This is what I love the most about this restaurant. Even when I am away far from home (italy ) eating there made me feel like home Thank you. We shall meet again
