This Mexican restaurant is a hidden gem. The tacos were bursting with flavor, the guacamole was fresh, & the service was fast & friendly. Can't wait to come back! Shoutout QuarinaView more

Je suis allée manger hier pour la première fois à ce restaurant avec deux amies. À première vue, la nourriture semblait bonne & le service était correct, même si la serveuse venait rarement à notre table. Nous avons toutes commandé des tacos : deux au poisson & un au poulet. Malheureusement, nous nous sommes toutes senties mal après le repas, & l'une d'entre nous a vomi toute la nuit. C'était hier soir & j'ai encore l'estomac sensible. Je ne sais pas si c'était dû à la cuisson de la viande ou à la fraîcheur des ingrédients, mais je suis très déçue & je ne reviendrai pas. Faites attention.View more

Une hôtesse sans sourire, zéro empathie, incapable de nous trouver une table en terrasse, nous installe dans la SAM tellement bruyant qu'on demande la terrasse. En 2 temps 3 mouvements, un gentil serveur ns trouve une table pour 5. le reste de la soirée sans faille.View more

First time there but definitely returning back for the tacos, we tried the Birria tacos & gotta say it was one of the best braised beef tacos in Montreal, also tried the shrimp tacos & unexpectedly I really liked it the shrimps were cooked perfectly, along with the drinks which were ok, the only down side were the guacamole & chips that didn't meet expectation the chips were really bad & the guacamole was mediocre, & I would say a few outdoor fans would have made life easier in summer.
N.B the service & manager of the place were above & beyond, very welcoming & accommodating which really made an impression one for the things to return back for.View more

The food is amazing, price aren't ridiculous. The service is A1. Manager gave us a couple things during the rush cause he felt we were waiting a bit too long.View more

This was our second time visiting this place - last year we dined in, & this time we ordered the al pastor again for take out. Last year, it was much tastier & just all-around better. We noticed a difference in the way they cut the pork & pineapple: last year, they served nice, big, juicy chunks, but this year the pork was finely chopped & a bit dry. Even though it was a little dry, it was still good, & we would probably visit again.View more

So pleasantly surprised by our experience here. We sat outside with our two little kids & they were very accommodating about ordering the kids food in advance. Kids menu offers three crowd pleasing options. Freshly made guacamole & the chef's platter of tacos were all delicious. We ordered the shrimp tacos as an extra & while the quality & freshness of the shrimp was great, they were really spicy so order with caution. The service was amazing & the entire terrace staff were super attentive.View more

Service was great, however the food was not that great. I don't recommend the birria tacos, flavour was lacking & there was mostly the fat of the beef. Good atmosphere however I liked the terrace outside during the summer.View more

Best al pastor tacos I've had in a while! Along with a red sangria it was delicious. The service was very friendly & professional, my waitress Quarina was the best, so kind, attentive & respectful plus she did very good with her spanish! I asked if she spoke spanish (since it's a mexican restaurant & other two waiters spoke spanish) & she impressed me so much speaking on spanish as well!View more

Had late lunch today & incidentally, it was taco tuesday!!!! The food was excellent. Had 4 pairs of fish, chicken, beef, & vegetarian tacos & everything was delicious. Personal favorite was the beef. The margaritas were excellent. The churros were bomb. Service was also top notch. Everyone's so friendly. Highly recommended.View more

30 minutes pour obtenir son entrée (guaccamole) + un autre 20 min pour les plats.
La terrasse est 0 entretenu, des toiles d'araignées de partout. La musique est extrêmement forte, ce qui rend l'expérience désagréable.
Les serveuses pas serviable & polie.View more
