Great Mexican food! Tried the tacos Al pastor. Great. If you arrive near 12, they stop serving until 12 to get things ready for lunch

Positives- great ambiance & the staff were fantastic. Quick & friendly service!

Unfortunately, the food left a lot to be desired - mostly flavour. We had the Birria tacos & Al Pastor. While the meats are fresh, they were both completely lacking salt & any flavour whatsoever. Usually birria is on the spicier side, but there was just nothing there. For more flavour, I'd head over to Arriba Burrito or Tacos & Margarita instead.

I didn't enjoy my tacos Al pastor they tasted pretty plain. The birria ones were awesome so was the chocolate terrine cake.

We had the Tacos El Pastor, shrimp ceviche, & guacamole. There are 3 tacos to the plate which is not good value for the price & very oily. The shimp ceviche had maybe 4 or 5 shrimp cut up into pieces. The guacamole was also very small for the price. It was $90 for the 3 dishes & 2 lemonades. The lemonade was very watered down. I would not recommend going here.

The tables are so close together the table beside us was about 12' apart. It was like we were dining with the people beside us.

We didn't get cutlery, nor did the table beside us. The server noticed we didn't have cutlery & commented, but never brought us cutlery. We managed to get someone else to bring us cutlery.

The food, drinks, service, & atmosphere are great here. My partner & I both had delicious cocktails & tacos. The al pastor tacos were amazing & the vegan tacos were also great even for my partner who is vegan but doesn't usually like mushrooms. If you like spicy, get the spicy salsa! Service was great & we loved sitting on the patio. A little expensive but not egregious especially considering the location.

Nous sommes allés hier puis pour nous à part la guacamole & tacos poulet frit le reste était assez ordinaire, le Taco birria sans saveur le bouillon & le pastor aucun lien avec les Vrais tacos al pastor. Je connais des endroits à mtl où les saveurs sont de loin très meilleur
On la essayé & non ses pas un coup de coeur. En revanche très bon service.

Glad to discover this restaurant! I shared the guacamole, birria tacos, & al pastor tacos. All delicious & good portion sizes. Unfortunately, the churros were still raw in the middle. Other than that, I look forward to coming back to try other dishes.

Fantastic Mexican restaurant serving latin street food at its best! The tacos were out of this world & the staff was amazingly welcoming! The avocado dip was very fresh & tasty, the tacos melt in your mouth with the perfect balance of flavors. We ordered the Al Pastor Tacos & the Shrimp tacos- highly recommended!
