Super yummy tacos and the food came out so fast. The Rockfish taco and the pork and pineapple one were my favourite. I will definitely come back.

Food was great. Ambience was great. Although we wanted to go inside instead of the patio, the servers were really nice by letting us know that they were all booked for a large group that we were. Going back for sure.

Everything was awesome EXCEPT the place doesn’t open until noon. I have 20 years in the restaurant business and can’t imagine why A1 doesn’t open at at least 11:30am for those people on their one hour lunch break. Making 15 people line up out the door is ridiculous. Total buzz killer. CHANGE YOUR HOURS TO 11 AM OR 11:30 AM OPEN TIME. GAWD!

Food was very good but burritos not hot enough in the middle. Otherwise excellent.

The food was so delicious. We ordered the guacamole as a starter. Then my husband got a burrito and I had 2 tacos. The Birria beef was definitely our favourite protein. Such a great meal!!

Great server and food

Service was slow and pretty bad. It seemed that our server was very new and that it was his first weekend on his own. Our drinks and water pitchers were usually empty, and he wasn’t attentive or proactive. We had to flag down other servers to order drinks from.

The service was slow and the music didn’t match the environment at all.

We both had burritos which were delicious and plenty for lunch!

Wonderful lunch, quick, good service and value. Patio was rocking!!
