First time here, we came for the'all you can eat taco' service.
When we walked into the restaurant, no host came to talk to us so we had to go to the bar to ask for a table (very Latin-American in that way, I guess, nothing really wrong with that).
The table was nice but sticky, I don't know why the wood table top was sticky, & the feeling in the arms is weird.
Anyways, going to the service, the menu is a choice of 6 types of tacos only. We tried all of them except for the vegan. The meat tacos were pretty dry (beef, chicken & sausage). They were clean & fresh but poorly seasoned. I was expecting more marinated work or something more laborious. We felt like they just drop ingredients into the taco but they didn't interacted in between them. It's hard to describe, pretty much like a Subway.
On the positive side, the service was simple but good, the ladies working there were gentle & the Mexican music was good.
I think they have potential to get better, but they need to fill those gaps.

We decided to come here on a whim with my in-laws who are in town visiting from Mexico, & wow the food did not disappoint. Literally everything we ordered was delicious & approved by my in-laws. The chilaquiles with chorizo were delicious & very filling. The salsas were all tasty & spicy enough, & the micheladas were very tasty. My mother in law loved the birria & said it was perfectly seasoned. They even have a little cupboard in the front with Mexican candies & snacks. It's the perfect mix of Montreal & Mexico, with the food & view of outside. Very lovely, 10/10.
