Overall very disappointed in the food and drinks. The tacos were incredibly greasy and lacked flavour. The dip platter at our table was left almost untouched other than the chips themselves. The guacamole and pico were incredibly bland, the black bean drip along with the mango salsa were inedible. I would personally save your money and eat elsewhere.

Service was uneven. The server would listen for one order from one person and then dash off to place the order to the kitchen. And dishes for different people arrived somewhat far apart.

This was our third time and we have loved every visit. It was a quieter evening but the service and food was excellent as always.

Kichen forgot to prepare guamamole - we needed to remind server; noise level became too great for us (we had to speak very loud to hear each other); food was excellent, server was great; seating was great (we got a booth because we arrived early)

A bit pricey but good food quality and great service.

Really enjoyed the tacos on the patio! Our friends compared the tacos to those they had while living in Mexico and said they were the best they’ve had since then!

Tacos were just ok. I was expecting more artisanal style with toppings and sauces however I found them bland (I had the fish and cauliflower) The service was slow! It was the Italian festival when we went so the place was full but they were understaffed. They were very nice and friendly but took a long time to order and receive drinks. Overall it’s decent but in my opinion, overpriced for the value and service.

Tacos are very good, but portions are not big. Nice place for a night out with friends.

Food was OK, too expensive for the quantity, we left rather hungry after spending $100. The mango salsa was an unpleasant surprise as it didn't have any dip-quality. Cleanliness not OK - the table was sticky and remained so after asking a server to wipe it (is it the wood lacquer?) The servers were nice and smiling, but that didn't compensate for the poor service: nobody cleared our table after main course, even when bringing the dessert, the waitress still left the used dishes on the table until WE asked her to take them away: that's completely unacceptable. The music was way too loud and bland, it gave night club vibes, which is not what one expects. I suspect the interior design doesn't help either. The restaurant seems to be a mix of youth club space (at the front) and family/older clientele (booths). Incompatible. Overall, big disappointment.

Knowledgeable, friendly staff, great music and the tacos and cocktails were incredible
