We are a traditional taqueria that opened its doors in 2015.Our mission is to represent the best of Mexico through its street cuisine, especially tacos. We showcase the diverse regions of Mexico with offerings like Al Pastor tacos from Mexico City, Birria from Jalisco, Rib Eye from Monterrey, Rosarito tacos from Tijuana, Carnitas from Michoacán, and many more.We prepare our guacamole fresh every day and stone-grind our corn to make tortillas and other masa derivatives daily, seven days a week.We nixtamalize the corn by adding an alkaline solution (lime stone), and we take pride in honouring this millennia-old tradition. Our heirloom corn is imported straight from Oaxaca and other southern regions of Mexico.Additionally, we are affiliated with Terroir.mx, a private import agency that has been working with SAQ since 2011 to bring you exceptional liquors from Mexico. Enjoy our selections of Mezcal, Tequila, Sotol, and other agave distillates.

    It’s a cozy restaurant in a nice neighborhood. The food was 10/10 amazing. Our favorites were the Duck and Pork Taco. The service there was super nice. Always explaining the dishes to us and making sure our water was refilled or if we wanted any other drinks. They always change their menu every 2-3 months so that their menu is always changing constantly. We got the 9 course tasting menu and it was worth every single penny. Make sure to book in advance so that way you can ensure you have a table. Overall will come again with friends and family. Also one of the cons of fine dining is that typically it takes so long to receive the next dish. I think we received a new dish every 10-15 minutes and if they saw us finished with one they were already preparing the next one to be served.

    Very good drinks especially the margaritas. For the food everything seemed freshly made, all ingredients were bright and fresh unfortunately every plate we ordered were a bit bland. Just a bit more salt, lime, cumin, etc.. is missing to be very good. We really liked the temporary cactus tacos. Service was friendly and efficient. The place is small, cozy and totally casual. A fun place to have a quick dinner before going out to a concert, festival, etc.. We shall return for sure and hopefully have room on the outside terrasse ;-)
