Reviews
"Great good, the pork plate was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant"
"This place is a staple. You can always rely on exceptional Mexican food. My favorites are the nachos and the tamales. Note that tamales are seasonal."
"The food quality is good. Lack of service personnel. we were a large group of 8 and we had to wait to be served one by one. It is an old resturant so nothing special."
"It was great. Good and fast seating-no wait. The ambiance was cool, nice vibe. Tasty Fish and Chicken tacos. Carne Asada was not a favorite of mine. Chips and Salsa (especially the spicy salsa) were fire! Service was on slow side, but good and overall great experience!"
"The place is good and also quite spacious. The service person was quite nice but the decor etc was good but not exceptional except for the tap in the washroom which was a design I haven't seen earlier. The virgin Pina colada was tasty and so was everything else we had. Portions size was reasonable and not having the appetite of a young person none of us could finish our portions. The spicy sauce we requested with the complimentary nachos was actually very spicy. We definitely enjoyed the experience."
