This is the best Mexican food I've had since moving to Montreal. We had the octopus appetizer, which was delicious & cooked perfectly. The tacos de asada & tacos de carnita were great. The flan de leche de coco was incredible as well, & we also enjoyed our cocktails. The service was attentive & friendly. Looking forward to coming back!
Sin duda los mejores chilaquiles que eh probado, me recuerda a mi México querido. Son bastante basto y los puedes escoger con la proteína que tú elijas aparte de tu huevo 🤤
Je pourrais dire que c'est le meilleur restaurant mexicain au coeur du Plateau Mont-Royal. Les plats ont une excellente présentation & les portions sont généreuses. Le service est excellent. Je n'hésiterais pas à le recommander.
Great mexican food in Montreal! Delicious cocktails & a wide selection of drinks (bar tender was more than happy to make me a paloma but substituting mezcal for tequila, which is delish). Got the tacos jeffe & they were delicious, & the tres leches looked amazing (too full to try it). Great service, nice ambience, wonderful food.
My friends & I came here for my bachelorette party & we had a wonderful time! Thank you very much for the warm welcome, friendly service, & delicious food! We especially enjoyed the octopus appetizer, the carnitas tacos, & the cocktails!

This is the best Mexican restaurant I ever ate at. The food was authentic & so tasty! Don't miss the dessert, we had the chocoflan & it was amazing. The service was also really friendly & helpful.
Brunch très bon & très copieux. Le personnel a été particulièrement gentil. Nous sommes venus avec notre enfant de deux ans & ils ont tout fait pour que l'on se sente bien. Nous reviendrons !!
Meilleurs tacos mangés jusqu'à présent à Montréal !! Soupe azteca sublime ! Bonnes portions. Très à l'écoute des intolérances, pour ma part lactose & sans gluten free! Certainement à revisiter !!!!
My favourite neighbourhood restaurant I cannot stop going back! Food is super tasty & really creative! Great & super friendly staff they always accommodate & go above & beyond!
