Pasamos por 1k de pastor y cuando llegamos a casa, sorpresa. La carne super super seca. Y aparte compramos extra de verdura xq la que dan es como para una orden de tacos! Dijeron que nos darían 1k de asada pero cuando llegaron a mi casa lo poco que quedaba de pastor ya estaba en la basura así que no hubo ninguna solución. Gracias. Espero que la próxima vez no me den carne de días.
Tacos were good, service was poor. Server ignored us, didn't check in to see if everything was to our satisfaction & spent his time on his cell. Music was blasting, as if we were in a club.

Meat was good, but tacos were super dry. No Birria tacos. Bland taste. Sauces too spicy. They don't serve margarita drinks (shocking for a Mexico restaurant). Service was slow, they were reorganizing their restaurant while we were trying to pay.
Great place with an amazing atmosphere! The food was amazing, cooked very well! This place knows chicken!! I had their chicken nachos & they were amazing! Their meat was very flavourful, & the tortillas chips were just as good. The staff were very nice & friendly. This restaurant gives a sense of comfort & home.
On s'est arrêté manger ici, parce que j'ai vu des gens sur la terrasse/trottoir boire des cantaritos & cela m'a rappelé mon voyage à Tequila au Mexique! Je ne pouvais pas ne pas en essayer un à Montréal aussi! Il était effectivement très bon, pas pareil comme au Mexique, mais on s'y rapproche!
Il fait très très chaud dans la salle à manger, il faut aimer la chaleur!
La nourriture est généreuse & décadente (trop pour moi). Les tacos étaient très bons. On aurait aimé toutefois un peu plus de garnitures'vertes', car c'était très carnitas. Même chose pour le burrito, il était bon, mais peut-être un peu trop gras & décadent. Cependant, je sais que je ne suis pas le public cible. On a apprécié l'expérience.
On aurait aimé des plateaux/assiettes un peu plus grands, on manquait d'espace pour bien profiter de notre repas!

Very authentic Mexican place. Literally you need some Spanish language skills to order the food. It is not the American style Mexican food you find everywhere so it is kind of an acquired taste. It worked for me. The portions are huge.
I took the special burrito al pastor & among a lot of places that I've been to, this is one of the most tasty & delicious burrito I have ever had. Service was good & the place is nice too. Highly recommend this place
The food was really good,we enjoyed the meal overall. However, there was no drink menu provided, so we had to rely on the waitress to suggest something. We weren't told the price, & the drink ended up being quite expensive. It would've been much better if there was a proper drink menu so we could choose ourselves & know what to expect
This spot serves the best Mexican I've had in Montreal! The special chorizo burrito was unreal, & they have the best guac. Servers were so friendly, & made us feel super welcome. We'll 100% be back!
