Service très sympathique, restaurant propre. Nourriture délicieuse, portions généreuses mais personnellement je l'ai trouvé un tantinet trop chère.

J'ai commandé la bandera avec du boeuf & mon conjoint la bandera avec chicharrón ainsi que habichuelas con dulce qui étaient comme même bonne.

One million stars. I had the pleasure of sharing a dinner with for a friend's birthday at this restaurant last night. I had never been before since I live on the other side of the city but, WORTH THE TRIP from Montréal West. The food is delicious, the portions are great, the staff are warm, friendly & kind; it's the type of restaurant that fills the belly & the soul. We were a group of eight (they take reservations, not a huge place so best to call ahead for groups), so we all ordered different things & shared. Everything I tried was great; the fried chicken though 🤤 Tasty drinks too!

Ma nouvelle place préférée dans le quartier!!!

Quel coup de coeur dans la Petite-Patrie! J'habite juste au coin & j'avais déjà adoré leur poulet frit pour emporter, mais j'avais vraiment hâte d'y aller en personne. J'ai choisi cet endroit pour fêter mon anniversaire & je n'aurais pas pu demander mieux.

Tout était absolument incroyable. On était un groupe de 9 & on a été traités comme de la royauté. Le service était impeccable & attentionné du début à la fin. C'est un petit resto de quartier super charmant avec une ambiance super accueillante.

Côté bouffe, on a essayé plusieurs plats & tout ce qu'on a goûté était délicieux - mention spéciale au mofongo (leur spécialité) & aux tostones! Les cocktails valent aussi le détour.🍹 L'équipe a vraiment dépassé nos attentes & je suis tellement contente d'avoir choisi cet endroit pour mon anniversaire 🎉

Un gros merci à Yessenia & l'équipe. On va revenir bientôt, c'est sûr ❤?
