    Terrible experience. The food was subpar and expensive. The service was some of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Drinks and food came out wrong with no offer to exchange, just blank awkwardly long stares when told. Crazy.

    Met 2 friends for dinner. Shared guac and queso. Both were fine. Gringa taco was very greasy and Baja fish taco was overly battered and greasy so I only had one bite. Left with a stomach ache. Service was fair. Not bad but not good. Nothing special to return for. Won’t go back.

    Ordered Korean fish taco, suardero (the best) chicken tinga which were our favourites. Guacamole and chips were very good too. The desserts were OK but next time we will skip these and get another taco each. 4 stars instead of 5 as a bit pricey.

    Food was great and good value, loved our waitress and the staff was very attentive. Music level was a bit high and there was a bit of a cold draft from the door but it was -22 and it's a small space. Definitely want to go back and try more of the menu.

    Service was not great. Our server kept disappearing and we were left waiting long periods for everything. Food was hit and miss. Some of the tacos were amazing, but some were not good. Very loud music. Didn't leave us dying to come back for another visit overall.
