WOW ! All I can say is wow ! Karan was an absolute pleasure & helpful with recommendations. My friend got the steak tacos & I got the beef birria tacos & I devoured them. So flavourful, such a perfect portion & the ambiance & vibe are super comfortable too. Come here for tacos.
This place has the bones of a fantastic taqueria. The highlight was the ribeye tacos, charred & toasted perfectly. The salsas are nice & the guy who seems to be running the place is a lovely person.
It's pretty new so I'm hoping my complaints are just because they are getting into their groove but:
- it's my second visit & it's just a bit inconsistent even on the same day. Sometimes it's toasted sometimes soggy this goes for the char on the ribeye as well
- the birria also suffers from this - needs to be crispier
- the pastor was mediocre - nothing like what you get in New York or Mexico City from
a proper trumpo
- the ventilation is terrible so be ready to walk out smelling like you can be eaten
- otherwise it was solid, I'm hoping to come back & try their burritos as well as letting them figure out their systems cause it was pretty disjointed but understandable since they have only been open for a few weeks
Very nice restaurant with very tasty 🌮 even better taste than 3 Amigos I had beef chicken thanks tacomaya the customer service was great also 5$ special in porc taco

Absolutely delicious from start to finish! The tacos biria were fresh, flavorful, & perfectly made - a great spot in Montréal.
Special mention to Nate, who was amazing with my two boys: kind, patient, & genuinely attentive. A wonderful experience overall. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend
Listen to me. The food there is magical. I had 2 birria tacis, 2 rib-eye tacos, 2 grilled chicken tacos. & I thought I was done ? I wasn't. I added one birria burrito & 3 nutella churros. Everything was beyond exceptional. Did I mention the food was magical ? It is unreal, I did not know mouths could have orgasms until tonight. Go there & thank me later.

One thing to note is that they charge extra for lettuce despite not mention it on the menu, which is a bit weird. Otherwise, It seems they have re-opened & relaunched, food & service was really good. Also, love the playlist!
The tacos are on point! Great portions, everything taste fresh & there's a unique blend of chilies in the consume. The Masa was delicioso, & the guac can be eaten alone 🤤
