By goodness if it wasn't delicious. Probably the best Mexican food I've ever had, run by the sweetest staff of all time. Must stop when in Montreal.

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.

J'ai commandé sur une application. Le pozole est arrivé sans totopos & la saveur était très ordinaire. Peu de bouillon qui était fade & beaucoup trop de maïs. Le format est petit contrairement à d'autres restaurants mexicains qui le vendent au même prix. Les quesadillas al pastor ne sont pas bonnes non plus. La viande n'a pas de saveur & c'est très gras. Les sauces sont ordinaires. Dommage. No soy mexicana pero vivi en México y sé reconocer un buen sazón.
