great food and priced right

all good food is a patience game in time. busy spot and great service. left full and happy. will be returning. thank you staff and your service. it was awesome ?

Not too far away from home but this was the first time to go. Went for lunch on a Sunday, quite a few people in there. Wait was not long at all even though we were told 20 minutes, it was more like 5. We all had tortas (pastor and carnitas). They were very tasty and filling. Will have to stop by again and try something else on the menu.

I love this place ?❤️?? Kris took me here and I’ve been coming here ever since. I love the cheap eats for such great Mexican food.

If you love authentic Mexican food, you can’t go wrong here. We tried a bit of everything. We had the ‘appy trio’ which was delish. A nice way to sample the guacamole, ceviche and salsa. The main meal we had shrimp quesadilla, shrimp enchilada, Choriqueso (Mexican chorizo) quesadilla, & Steak. The original steak order came out as tough & hard to cut through the meat. They were willing to get it right by preparing another cut. If you order the steak, make sure you ask for the thin cut. Someone had the chicken and veggie soup which was a huge serving. They even have a kids menu which is a bonus!The real deal is when they offer week day specials from Monday to Friday. On Fridays go for the full meal deal - MONSTER Burrito for $12. It was humungous, enough for at least 3 meals. If you’re into some Latin music, visit on a Friday or Saturday night from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm for live music. There are plenty of drink choices too! Be prepared to wait as it’s probably the best Mexican food around.

Delicious! We tried 4 different style tacos, chicken and beef enchiladas, beef flautas, and jalapeno margaritas. The restaurant was packed and service was a bit slow, but understandable and very worth the wait. Will continue coming back.

Our new neighbourhood favourite! We always wanted to try this place and it was worth it. We shared a platter for dinner and churros for dessert, and it was more than enough food for two. Great proportions, delicious and tasty food - we will definitely keep coming back!

This place is amazing! The wait to get in was a bit long, but it was well worth it! Our waiter was super friendly and very helpful for helping my friends and I pick the most delicious menu items. The food came out super quick and it was so good! I got the tacos and my friends had the monster burritos which were HUGE! Best bang for your buck! We also got 2 pitchers of margaritas and they had many flavours to choose from. I HIGHLY recommend going here! I will definitely be back!

Food was amazing good quality and quantity. Staff was very nice and polite. You have to visit the place for these enormous margaritas my favourite “lime Margarita double shot”
