    Great experience. Very generous portions and felt it was a good value, which is rare in the Toronto restaurant scene right now. Excellent food, and very friendly service. I would have given 5 stars across the board but my taste for Mexican food is only 4 stars.

    This is a wonderful place! The front room can be a little loud if you're sensitive to noise but the back patio is perfect. Small but cosy with a couple of small fire pits in the middle of patio surrounded by simple tables. The food comes out in a timely manner and is full of flavor. There are some larger entrée items but everything is sharable and should be treated like tapas (IMO).

    We went for my birthday and we really enjoyed it. The staff was amazing. We loved the ambiance. Everyone really enjoyed the food. They can make a pitcher of Sangria if you ask. We would definitely go back.

    While the service was good, the food was really lacklustre. The quality of ingredients was very poor and made us loose our appetite ex. Pulled chicken in the tacos was cold and flavourless with a tuna texture, toppings seemed like they came from cannned/pre-made packages. Tacos arrived cold and slightly soggy. The tortillas were poor quality. Service was friendly and cocktails were good, but we won’t be going back.

    I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. I can’t even tell you if the food was any good as it never came out. My boyfriend and I came here for Valentine’s Day. We had to ask for a menu as they never brought us one. When we finally ordered we waited half an hour and saw that everyone around us got their food before us. They said the food would be out shortly but we waited an additional half hour and left before we ever got our food. Very disappointed in the service.
