Lovely dining experience here on a Tuesday evening. We were late for our reservation, and even with a full restaurant they still welcomed us in. Food was fresh and flavorful. Service was friendly and efficient. Will definitely be returning!

Food was great, however portion sizes were slightly underwhelming. I had the Cochinita pibil which was amazing and had a subtle hit of smokiness at first that quickly dissipated into a somewhat overbearingly sweet but pleasant mouthfeel idrk how to explain it. For 23 dollars for two tacos food here comes at a high pricepoint. I was also kind of taken aback as there was only one tortilla instead of the usual two I have become accustomed to but they probably know alot more about how to serve tacos better than I do. Service here was a definite strongpoint, with an amicable and attentive server. Would definitely coming by atleast once but be warned portion sizes are small and prices are high.

Great music, delicious food and super friendly staff! I would come back again for sure! I enjoyed the red wine, house chips with guacamole, mushroom fundidos ?! Next time, I will try the chicken mole or mushroom tacos! (Fundidos was a bit too much cheese for me!)

Had dinner here with siblings and spouses - first time for me. Evening began with the perfect traditional margarita, although the blood orange one appealed to me too. Don’t be fooled by the simple menu. Every item is beautifully presented, in addition to having complex and harmonious taste. The tortilla soup is a must. And save room for the churros for desert. We will absolutely be returning. Located just north of the QEW on Appleby. A great way to avoid the rush hour drive into Toronto.Parking: There is plenty of parking across the street if you don’t get a spot in the lot attached.

I wanted to try this place because of all the good reviews, but left the place confused and disappointed. I ordered 4 tacos and a margarita and my bill was over $100. I’m happy to pay that amount of money for great food, but at that price point, 4 soggy tacos did not meet my expectations. The flavours and ingredients were also nothing exciting. The only saving grace was the good service. I really wanted to like this place but it wasn’t for me.

Food is not authentic but it is good. Highlight was the mocktail menu. I was pregnant when we visited and loved the virgin mojito. Expensive and tables are really close together. I didn't hate it but I was disappointed.

Loved the atmosphere the place! This was probably the best Mexican food I've had in the Oakville/Burlington area. The chorizo fundido and the beef tacos were perfect - everything well made and you can taste the high quality of the ingredients. Besides the typical margaritas they have some mescal drinks which I highly recommend.Parking: Parking is behind the building.

Sarah was our server and she was fabulous.The food was AMAZING. It was fresh and authentic Mexican cuisine. I would highly recommend it. I can’t wait to go back with my family.
