Small restaurant but very tasty.
Brunch plates are delicious & so filling with big portions!

If you like classic flavorful Mexican food without the excessively high prices of the Plateau, this one is for you.

It's important to note that you need to reserve in advance, as the place is very small.

The pulpo a la plancha was amazing! It was perfectly cooked & seasoned, the vegetables were a nice addition. I wouldn't get the Mexican plate again though. The carnitas tacos were good, though they needed the additional sauces. The special beef tacos were okay, a bit strange that you dipped the beef tacos in beef juice.
Overall nice spot & atmosphere.

2nd time going :
This time we got the octopus again because it was so good the first time & it did not disappoint! The chicken tacos were good though I think the rice isn't necessary & should be replaced with beans. The steak eye quesadillas were very tasty & cheesy.

Ordered the 3 tacos breakfast… they were delicious, very well served, & more than enough for a big guy. The orchata water was really tasty & the green sauce had a flavour that you can't miss.
Great place to go.

Small Mexican restaurant with delicious food & friendly service. The drinks were made with fresh ingredients (no margarita mix!), the food was so tasty & the staff were very friendly. Would recommend making a reservation as it's small inside.

Cute corner restaurant in a residential neighborhood. Only two tables occupied so service was good. Margaritas had good flavor but maybe a little lite on alcohol. We had Fish tacos & pork osso buco dinner which were just the right size & tasty.
