The Holiday decorations were extraordinary however this was a very very cramped space, the washrooms were also extremely tiny and was hard to move around especially with large coats and bags. The food was just okay, we went with the server's recommendations on apps the corn was good just not a fan of the amount of feta on top and the nachos were pretty good just wish the toppings were a bit layered, birria tacos were not very flavourful but the chicken tacos were great. As for drinks we ordered the Seasonal special mistletoe and my husband had the spicy marg which were both extremely bitter!! Our server was very nice and brought simple syrup twice as the drink had maybe wayyyy too much lime in it. All in all, it's a great place for pictures but I can imagine weekends being very rushed, although they have a 90-minute window if you come on a weekday, you should be okay (we were not kicked out). Not sure that I would come again though as the prices were pretty high and I've had better Mexican food and drinks in Mississauga/Niagara Falls.

The restaurant was half full yet my table had difficulty getting our server to assist us with ordering anything and she would spend large amounts of time by the drink stand talking to her other coworker. The food itself was quite good and the server assistant/busser was super sweet but in the future I’ll probably just go to Fonda Lola or somewhere else nearby. Birria was great though xx

The chips that went with it were amazing I had a fish taco and there was almost no fish and the taco was stale. Serving everything on plastic or paper isn’t ideal. Service - the staff was very pleasant however we had to ask several times for more things. Drinks - disappointment- they use syrup in their drinks - I think using fresh lime makes more sense in an authentic Mexican restaurant Overall disappointing as it has great reviews and I had been in the past And liked it

I was the first one of my party to arrive and despite their entire restaurant being dead at this time they refused to sit me until my entire party arrived. At that point I might as well have not made a reservation. The woman I had originally spoked to said she would talk to her manager, left and then never came back. It wasn’t till the two ladies who were already outside came and talked to me we were finally seated (however, with resistance) However, after that one hiccup, the drinks and food were delicious and were well priced for a restaurant in Ossington. And the lady serving us, paid attention to both my table and the other party we reserved with. All around great experience just wish it did not start off so rocky. Would come back again!
