Great little authentic Mexican restaurant with a homely vibe & home-made flavors. Perhaps the best tamales I've tasted in Montreal. Also easy to access as it's tucked away in a corner of Jean Talon Market

This is a spectacular, little, authentic, family-owned Mexican restaurant bringing flavours of Acapulco to Montreal. I had a burrito & it was so delicious. The service was good too. I was particularly amazed by the frothy, blended horchata. I've never had horchata served like that before, it was as much of a treat as the food. There is limited seating as it's a small restaurant. So worth trying this place if you love Mexican flavours.
