Many patrons highlight the birria, al pastor, and gobernador tacos as exceptional, alongside fresh, flavorful ceviche and impressive craft cocktails. The establishment is noted for its friendly and professional service, making it a popular choice for both casual dining and special events, thanks to its well-equipped private space on the second floor and a pleasant outdoor terrace.

Une belle découverte ! On remarque immédiatement une cuisine mexicaine authentique & soignée, qui frôle le style gastronomique.

Le cadre est très agréable, ce qui en fait un magnifique endroit pour partager un repas mexicain de qualité & découvrir de superbes saveurs entre amis ou en famille.

A essayer absolument : quedabirrias & le pastel de tres leches.

Une belle adresse.

C'est une très bonne adresse que je recommande sans hésiter. Le restaurant est cosy & chaleureux, le service est soigné & accueillant, & les tacos sont vraiment délicieux, j'ai adoré & je reviendrai avec plaisir. Maria est également très gentille & accueillante : elle nous a fait visiter la salle à l'étage réservée aux événements & a répondu à toutes nos questions avec beaucoup de bienveillance & de professionnalisme🥰
