    Great hole-in-the-wall, nicely decorated. Good background music. Seating a little too tight on the veranda section which caused some problems with seating etc. Service wasn't quick at first but we liked it that way. Pacing between courses was excellent. Three of us had the Chef chooses - great choice. We were VERY full when we walked out. Starters were homemade tortillas chips with very nice guac & salsas and tasty ceviches. Courses raged from fish tacos to carnitas to beef to BBQ Mexican corn ... You get the picture - lots of good eats! Highly recommended! And SUPER gluten free friendly. A must stop for celiacs.

    Great food! Great vibe! It was amazing that everything is gluten free as well! All fairly priced and good portions. The fried chicken is the best on the menu, you have to try it! Only down side is their Carne Asada taco can be improved. Overall a great experience

    Fantastic dinner before went to a play. The service was the best. He explained the menu parts we had questions on. He had helpful suggestions. The drinks were the best I’ve had since Spain. The food, oh the food. I can’t choose a favourite as everything was delicious. We tried many thing on the menu, all of it so tasty! Don’t forget to get the dessert menu. Take one home for later.

    I am celiac, have serious tree nut allergy and don’t tolerate lactose- they accommodated me beautifully. The meal and drinks were outstanding! We ordered the shared chef’s selection (adjusted to accommodate my dietary restrictions and my wife’s preferences). The variety of dishes, quality, preparation, presentation, flavours, tastes and aromas were excellent. We are well travelled foodies and this place was a wonderful find. Enjoy!

    Really incredible experience as always. Service was fantastic and very attentive and patient to my parents who had never dined here before. Our only note was that our table was wobbly. But this didn't disrupt our meal, as the food was too good to be bothered. :) Thank you!
