    We had an absolute amazing experience and the manager was fantastic. He took the time to explain how tequila is made, where it comes from and the different levels. 100% recommend. The margaritas were absolutely tasty and the tacos were superb!

    I love the atmosphere here! Its busier but you can still hear the conversations at the table. Staff has been really nice and the food has been great every time ive gone (it also comes out ridiculously fast). Really enjoy what the city is finally doing to down town.

    The food, for a Mexican restaurant, was bland. The pork was dry and the shredded cheese tasted stale and was dry to the touch. The prices are a little steep for what you get. It felt more like a bar that decided to start serving food than a restaurant with a bar inside of it.

    The drinks we uncharacteristically small as margaritas go. The queso was simply melted cheese rather than a sauce. Very different from the traditional Mexican restaurant style that I am accustomed to.

    Food is mediocre at best. Service was ok but no water served unless asked and they did not come around enough to ask if we needed refills or how we were doing. Atmosphere was great and the drinks were great. Beer and margaritas!!

    Food was very fresh with great taste. There are lots of choices with typical tacos, burritos, fajitas, etc but then you have a lot of different choices for filling/ including chicken pork, beef, fish, vegetarian. The salsa and guacamole are very flavourful. Very relaxing atmosphere. Definitely coming back.

    I ordered the Avocado Chicken Wrap, but decided to change it to a bowl instead of a Wrap. When I got my bowl, there was no chicken. The server accidentally ordered the avocado salad. So instead of bringing me what I ordered they gave me 2 strips of chicken on the side (which I had to wait 10-15mins for) and then still charged me full price for the meal. No discount for the mix up. I also ordered a drink and the server took it off the table before it was finished. This was my second and will be my last visit to this restaurant. I was extremely disappointed with the service.
