Very disappointed with this place as prices have gone up significantly, & portions decreased massively. The new "small" guacamole for take out is tiny, & the bags of chips even smaller. Just doesn't make any sense. Taste is still great, but very disappointed.
Stopped by for a quick dinner on a Friday evening & have no complaints! Enjoyed the food very much. I had ordered the chicken tongs Frida plate & my husband ordered the pastor tacos along with guacamole & chips & it was plenty of food! The atmosphere was great & warm & loved the touches of decor throughout the restaurant. Also found parking nearby so that was a plus!
Voici un restaurant convivial & authentique par son cachet mexicain, le personnel est courtois & les portions sont Modestement petite mais délicieux au goût.. Le seul reproche sont que les repas ne sont par variées mais unique pour chaque repas demandé
I went to this place with no expectations, the place is nicely decorated & colorful, small, & if you happen to be on the little room at the end & you have noisy table neighbors, they will ruin the experience for you.. The good things, the decorations & the staff, very friendly & attentive, but not really Mexicans, they have people from all over the place, although I'm not sure if the cook is Mexican. The food, I must accept they serve big amounts, but definitely lacks taste, we order Carne al pastor & Carnitas, the Carne al pastor was completely tasteless & missed marinating, it could pass if they would have called it something else, they did not add a lot of dressing (coriander & onion), & had to ask for it on the side, for the carnitas, they were presented on a burrito, same problem, lack of taste, big amount, but good enough to make two meals out of a burrito.. The drinks were OK, the friduchas were nice.. As a real Mexican, I really can't say this place serves Mexican food; may be inspired Mexican food, but they should be careful not to mislead people with the dishes.. however, if you want to spend a good time with a good amount of food, this is a good place
