    We appreciated that the enchiladas were a balanced degree of spiciness.

    Excellent food! Patio was nice but is on the smaller side. Shrimp tacos are the best!

    Great experience. Very generous portions and felt it was a good value, which is rare in the Toronto restaurant scene right now. Excellent food, and very friendly service. I would have given 5 stars across the board but my taste for Mexican food is only 4 stars.

    This is a wonderful place! The front room can be a little loud if you're sensitive to noise but the back patio is perfect. Small but cosy with a couple of small fire pits in the middle of patio surrounded by simple tables. The food comes out in a timely manner and is full of flavor. There are some larger entrée items but everything is sharable and should be treated like tapas (IMO).

    We went for my birthday and we really enjoyed it. The staff was amazing. We loved the ambiance. Everyone really enjoyed the food. They can make a pitcher of Sangria if you ask. We would definitely go back.
