About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
  • Neighbourhood gem
Legit Mexican fare. No joke. Chef Mariana Gonzalez celebrates her family’s generational recipes and shares them with you. Sounds yum…and don’t worry, the drinks are just as good.

    Everything we had was very delicious except for one thing. The red fish taco’s fish was very mushy. The drinks were expertly prepared and the service was above what was expected. So far the best Mexican I have had in the area.

    Food was very good. To be honest drinks were very weak. My margarita tasted like lime juice. Not good in the drink department at all.

    The table for our reservation was not ready because the party before us was slow. So we had to wait ( no problem ) but when we got to our table the restaurant had Nachos waiting for because we had to wait. Excellent service and great food.

    Went for lunch between Winter Festival activities. The staff couldn't have been better. It's Burger Bash week too, so I had their burger contestant which was wonderful. Food was great, can't wait to go back and try some of their normal fare.

    An excellent dining experience. Terrific guacamole. Rice & beans were outstanding. Delicious, well-made cocktails.
