The food is fine? It's just fine. We ordered pork tacos & we were all pretty convinced it was chicken which isn't a great sign?
I will say the vibe here is very strange because the owner/manager is extremely anal about bathroom use.
We witnessed an argument between her, a waitress & a group. One of the women in the group wanted to use the bathroom but the owner complained that she didn't order anything. I'm pretty sure the other members in the group did so I personally would have let her use the bathroom? One of the men in the group had to hand her a $5 bill so that the lady could use the bathroom.
The restaurant was also super understaffed for a Friday night. There were a total of 3 people working during Mural Fest's first Friday.
Later, when I tried to use the bathroom, that same lady stopped me on my way out to question who I was. I had to literally point at our table of 4, with food at it, & say that I was a diner here.
She then proceeded to give me dirty looks from the kitchen/counter any time I got up & when we left.
- Responding to owner. I'm sorry you're experiencing vandalism, but I was a paying customer & you specifically made me feel like I was trespassing even after having spent almost an hour eating/waiting for the bill.
You also seem to habitually understaff/overwork your servers as they expressed how stressed they were several times during the meal, apologizing for the long waits while you stood behind the counter glaring at people
En tant que Mexicaine, je suis souvent difficile quand il s'agit de cuisine mexicaine à l'étranger… mais Le 514 m'a vraiment impressionnée! Mon chum québécois & moi y sommes allés pour déjeuner, & on a tous les deux adoré l'expérience du début à la fin.
La bouffe est authentique & savoureuse - des saveurs qui m'ont ramenée directement à la maison. Le décor est magnifique, chaleureux & coloré, on se sent transporté au Mexique dès qu'on entre dans le resto.
Le service était impeccable : souriant, attentionné & rapide.
Que ce soit pour un brunch entre amis, un souper en couple ou une sortie en famille, je recommande à 100 %. Ce resto est un véritable bijou pour les amoureux de la culture mexicaine. À découvrir sans hésiter!
We were so excited to try this place because we ordered online for catering & the taste was always great.
Arriving we're facing with renovations in the street & at the restaurant, we wanted to sit in the back because of the noise, waitress not welcoming nor happy of asking her to crean the back table for us.
Her service was poor, clean our table with pure bleach, took long to get the drinks probably because she was mostly focused on her phone.
The chilaquiles we're nothing like the pictures online..
Chips with salsa, a piece of meat, a sprinkle of cheese & onion.. no cream or frijoles as written in the menu, asked for 2 plates & because we didn't wanted cream on the kids tacos, waitress assumed no cream at all.
The Pancita had a good portion, but just the plate, no oregano, tortillas or chips, no nothing.. For OVERPRICED dishes I was expecting better presentation, taste & quality as written on the menu..
We will continue to order online for catering because we like a few dishes & the owner is very nice.
Hope this review helps to improve the quality & service. Is such a nice place with potential but don't forget about customers.
