This place is always very busy it seems. Anytime I even walk by there its busy. But its understandable since the food there is amazing. Authentic Mexican food at a good price. Service was great. Look forward to going there again next time I am in the city.

I met two friends for an early supper, and we decided to share orders of fish/chicken/pork tacos so we didn't have to decide! You put in your order before being seated, so I asked if we could have a few minutes with our chips, guacumole, and pitcher of sangria before the mains. They said no problem, but their 'few minutes'... More

If you're craving that authentic Mexican dining experience than this is the place to go. The staff are very friendly and happy. All of the waitresses help clean tables in this high traffic. restaurant. They are always smiling and willing to spend an extra second talking to customers. The food is incredible and delicious to the pallet. The tacos here... More

Went with friends on the weekend to try this place that everyone has been raving about. We were there before 5pm and had to wait in a line because they don't take reservations. You have to place your order at the counter then go sit down. The lady taking our order was explaining to us how to order but could... More

Best Mexican food I've eaten in a long time, everything is delicious and subtle, presentation is amazing and the owner will give you great advice. It's more of a fast food setup but it's worth the wait. The only downside is the disgusting mixed drink they call "margarita" but all is forgiven since the food is so amazing.

Finally decided to check this place out with my wife on the weekend. We were whisked into line and got some suggestions from a gal who worked there. Wife had a vegetarian quesadilla, I went with the fish tacos. We also ordered a side of guac and tortillas. We were seated at a community table which I wasn't too keen... More

Recommended by a colleague, we visited this restaurant last week for lunch. The queue speaks volumes - obviously a very popular place to have mexican food! There were a variety of meals on offer with spice levels to match. The guys and gals were very friendly and helpful - even taking time to explain the menu if you are not... More

Having seen this place featured on "Ya Gotta Eat Here", a Canadian food type of Triple D, I was anxious to actually be in a joint so famous. Tell you what...if it's fresh, yummy and all locally sourced food. Except for the fish, maybe. We had four fish tacos...and man alive..were they ever good. Plus we had a pulled pork... More

This place was featured on a food network show so we thought we would give it a try. Service is excellent and friendly, but the food was bland. Maybe it is because I had already thought it was going to be really good, from the TV show or other reviews so I was expecting more. But if I had to... More

The food here is fresh, from scratch and the owners love what they do. The service here has always been consistent... and they serve Corona, which goes great with the food ;). The atmosphere is so-so and VERY busy - get there early for a seat, otherwise be prepared to take your food to go. Worth a visit every time... More
