    Amazing food and service! Its like eating authentic Spanish food from the streets of Mexico! Server was amazing and friendly The great part was we go the food really quickly like within 15-20mins! The inside look really clean and refurbished! There was a pool table if someone is interested in playing. Its a great place to go and chill with friends and family And It looks like they hosts karoke parties too.

    The tacos and tamales were delicious! A co-worker took me here and it did not disappoint! I got two tacos and the tamales and it was probably some of the best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico! The service was pretty good. The staff was very friendly and the owner came and checked in with us. Overall a good meal!

    Food good, server good, in light of the American boycott and supporting Canadian products we asked the manager on duty, February 3rd, 7p.m. why they had bottled american beer but not canadian bottled beer. He replied with " we have local draught and we are not getting into politics " he was quite rude! Restaurants can offer products from around the world, but as a loyal customer we should not be treated so rudely asking for canadian bottled beer!! Tried to support a local restaurant but we won't be back due to this man's rudeness
