Quelle belle découverte sur la rue Saint-Denis! Tout était absolument délicieux & authentique.

J'ai particulièrement adoré l'équilibre des saveurs avec la touche d'ananas frais sur les tacos. C'était un régal pour les yeux & pour les papilles. Je reviendrai sans aucun doute pour retrouver cette ambiance si agréable.

The food itself is actually quite good.

However, we have had several disappointing experiences.

Once, we came right after the restaurant opened, but the tacos were served cold & the texture was terrible.

Another time, the restaurant was packed, but there was only one server. It was obvious that the server was overwhelmed, which caused slow service & many mistakes. We asked for water many times, but we still did not receive any before we finished our meal.

Another evening, the small patio area outside the entrance was completely empty. Since we had children with us, I asked if we could sit at the tables further inside the patio, away from the entrance. This would have been safer for our children & would have made it easier for other customers & staff to come in & out.

However, the person who seemed to be the owner insisted that we sit at the tables right next to the entrance. I really do not understand the reason behind this decision. After we sat there, our table was actually blocking part of the entrance area, which was inconvenient & less safe for everyone. The owner eventually became impatient, walked away, & left the server to communicate with us. The server just shrugged & seemed helpless.

The food has potential, but the service & management experience have been very disappointing.
