    The menu is very strange. There are essentially two choices, one of which is tacos. But you can get tacos anywhere. The other is the enormous tasting menu that takes over 2 hours to eat. Why isn't there something in between, like mole or a fancy pork dish, for example? It is weird to have to choose between two extremes.

    Très belle soirée en famille sur la terrasse, menu dégustation savoureux, accord des vins délicieux, très beaux cocktails. Nous étions déçus de ne pas pouvoir goûter aux tacos El Pastor -> disponibles 3 jours/semaine mais rupture de stock jour 2.

    C'est un beau restau très sympatique et joyeux, très bruyant quand même. Le soir ou nous y avions mangé, le service était assez désastreux en raison d'une demande supérieure à la capacité du service en cuisine. Dès le début, l'attente était très longue, donnant le sentiment qu'on nous a oubliés. Par contre, notre serveur était très sympatique et a expliqué la situation et s'est excusé, mais les commandes ne venaient pas... Sur le plan nourriture, les choix sont très limités pour les non mangeurs de viande. Le taco de poisson n'est pas très généreux (petit morceau très frit). Les tostadas sont un meilleur choix. Très bons cocktails au moins! En fin de compte, l'addition a été réduite de 25 $ pour compenser le service chaotique. Conseil: c'est mieux d'y aller pour le brunch à Piel Canela!

    Je recommande ce restaurant. Le personnel est attentionné et très gentil. La nourriture est excellente. Je n’ai pris que des plats végétariens et ils étaient délicieux.

    Excellent service. Our waitress was very polite, patient and explained the menu very well. We ate on the patio and it was great. Lots of room and not over crowded like some other patios. The food was “meh” . We ordered 3 different tacos and tried all the appetizers. The best one was the TORITO DE CHORIZO, then BARRIGA CONFITADA. As for the tacos, the fish is the best

    -Entrées: 2 types (Flanc de porc, très bon, Chorizo, étonnamment bon et pas trop salé comme c’est souvent le cas ailleurs) Le highlight du repas. -Tacos: on a essayé 3 sortes et 2 sur 3 étaient trop salés. -Cocktails: OK
