“ My fave happy hr spot! Highly recommend the ceviche or chicken tostada, sweet potato taco, carnitas taco and margaritas are bomb too ”
“ Super cute and lively space with delicious food. Get the baja fish taco!! Happy hour margaritas are a great deal too! ”
“ One of my favourite Mexican restaurants because their tortillas, they have the most delicious and authentic tortillas in Toronto. That detail makes their tacos so superior than most places. They also have A lot of nice deal like happy hour any day of the week and tacos buffet. Hour server was very nice and she was coming very often which we appreciated a lot, we never had to look for her or ask to take our plates away. The bad side is that they have very little tables for 6 people and every time that we try to book a table they don’t let us, they do not connect tables or let you add an extra chair which in many occasions have send us to a different spot. I highly recommend their ceviche tostadas, their house chingada taco is amazing and their margaritas too. The carnitas was way too salty and lacked of flavour. The street cont and the shrimp tacos where the best of the night. ”
