This is probably the best Mexican place in the city, & that's saying a lot given what's in the neighborhood & close by on the blue/orange lines. The tacos are incredible with generous portions, the ceviche punches well above its price, & the cocktails are top notch. Great mezcal selection. Lovely service. Also I love that they now play jazz/chilled out Latin music on the speakers - it's a great volume for actually having a conversation with your date. Lucky to have this in the neighbourhood!
