    Food is incredible, flavors that you do not get at your typical Mexican restaurant. Tortillas are fresh and some of the best around. Sitting inside is a tight fit on a busy night and gets very loud.

    We discovered this restaurant because the Peacock was full and we were hungry. What a happy find! It's now our favourite place to go in the neighborhood (along with Uchiba). The fajitas are next level amazing. The service is impeccable and the outdoor patio is really nice whatever the weather.

    Service and food was good!.However due to lack of circulation inside the restaurant, it was very hot. I recommend sitting outside.

    The food was very good however we order fajitas for four people and received one medium sized plate of chicken and steak. The portion was appropriate for two people at most! We were disappointed.

    Came here for lunch with my family after graduation and had such a great experience. The service was amazing and the food was even better. Our server was so kind and really made our celebration feel special — we even got complimentary churros! 10/10 recommend.

    Outstanding food, drinks and service. A bit loud but in a fun way. Prices were a bit steep for this kind of place, but overall a place you should check out.

    Food was fantastic but our server/service was very subpar. For context, there were only 3 of us. We we ran out of water and drinks multiple times and then had to wait for someone to come ask if we wanted more (of course we did, we hadn’t even eaten yet). The food came out very staggered where people politely waited for the table to be complete to eat their food but by the, their food was cold. No one came to give us a heads up that it would be a few minutes, we were just left in the dark. The food then came out incomplete and not was fully ordered. The server didn’t even care to check if it was correct. For a $400 dinner, better service is expected.
