Absolutely loved this Mexican spot. It's a great place for brunch. We got the Huevos Rancheros and Barbacoa Tacos with Consome. Both tasted really good. They also offer unlimited coffee on the house with the food.

The food was fresh, homemade and so delicious. Our waitress was kind and attentive. Everything was priced reasonably for the quantity and taste. Tacos were generously filled and the meat was flavourful and tender. Full size of horchata is huge, enough for two. I recommend getting a small size.

I absolutely loved the tacos, they were not cheap with the ground pork or toppings. These were the best tacos I've had in Toronto... They actually made hard tacos shells for me and made them the way that I wanted... And still kept the taco Tuesday special.. definitely will be going back soon.

The food in this little authentic restaurant is absolutely delicious! We will definitely be coming back. We ordered the chorizo empanada, carnita and Pollo tacos, and beef nachos. Everything was so fresh and tasty.

A group of us stopped in here after going to Halo Brewery around the corner. We saw the reviews looked good, it was close, and our friend is gluten free so we thought this place was a good option. The food here was really solid! When we sat down our server told us the items they were currently sold out of which I always appreciate staff doing. Not every place does this or the staff are not always aware of what they are out of until you order and they check with the kitchen. So I really liked that she let us know up front. I chose the Pastor Tacos and thought maybe it wouldn’t be enough food to be filling as it was just 3 tacos, but the tacos are very generously filled. There was a lot of meat on them. And the meat was well seasoned and not dried out. Everything was very flavourful and very filling. I really enjoyed our meal here, and the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. If you are in the area and you like Mexican, you should definitely stop in. Thank you for a great meal.
