Please avoid this place. It's overpriced. It's a scam! Tried this place because of the looks of the patio. Turned out it's completely a waste of money, the food was salty and nothing special. The service was none, but charging 20% tip. They was trying to charge tip 2 times, they charged the tip on the bill and then again on the machine. If we didn't catch that we'd had lost another 20%. The place was dirty, specifically the washroom was disgusting.

A nice punky restaurant - it is a bit on the dark and loud side, probably aimed at younger clientele. There is an outdoor section as well. My food took a while to arrive (25 minutes or so) despite it being fairly empty at the time. I wasn't blown away by the taquitos (the salad bed they sat on made them immediately soggy) but the food was overall tasty.

We went there to celebrate my husbands bday. Both patio and indoors carry a good vibe. The servers are nice. They take care of you well. The good is delicious. We ordered Tacos platter mix of chicken, cauliflower and shrimps and all of them were good. In shareable we also ordered Taquitos. I must say they were the best I ever had. Quesadillas and Enchiladas were also great. As a courtesy they brought us a cake with candle on the top free of charge. We forgot to take pictures but we relished everything we ordered. Go visit and find out yourself.

The atmosphere is unique. Lots of outdoor seating. The food is a bit pricey, but it is located in Port Credit. Ordered the beef and fish tacos, both were tasty. Service was fair, drinks took awhile, but food came quickly.

Love this place. The ceviche and chips are tasty, we go here often and usually get the taco platter so I can't speak for the other food. I do miss the homemade guac from years ago though. Patio has a nice vibe and good music. The servers have always been fantastic to us too. Had to review as the negative review below me was the nightmare customers there at the same time as us. Children running back and forth between tables, unsupervised and literally screaming, loud tablet games being blasting at the table. The servers were helpful and did the best they could on a busy Labour Day. It's a great spot for drinks and food. Entitled families won't be missed, without them the atmosphere is lively and chill.

I was looking for some real good tacos. This location popped up and I thought it would be great but turned out opposite. I ordered cod and shrimp tacos, they were so so basic oh god! Not worth the money neither it was tasty. Very bland taste, as there was no efforts given store bought cabbage cuts given. Won’t be coming back again. Literally wasted my money

Gave this place a try on Saturday evening. Reservations are only accepted for inside, not for the patio. The service was average but the food was not good as expected. The tortillas should be from corn to have authentic Mexican flavour. A bit disappointed.

Review is strictly for food. We were a group of 6 and our food took about 45 minutes to arrive which wasn’t the biggest problem but it was definitely sitting out for 30 minutes as all of our meals were all cold. We wouldn’t return 6 of our meals but we felt like we wanted to. Very disappointing on a food level. I have to say the server was friendly and nice, and the ambiance is a good vibe. Definitely more of a bar, and will avoid the food if we come back. We were hoping for more! Also enchiladas were more like a salad.
