Food was decent, service was kind and happy to know they have vegan options/dairy free cheese. The thing is that the prices are pretty expensive across the whole menu, especially for the Kensington Market area. There are cheaper and more tastier options for tacos/Mexican food in the neighborhood so probably won’t be back ?

The best authentic traditional Mexican food in the GTA, hands-down. I’ve tried many and I keep on going back to this one. It’s a really nice atmosphere in there and the staff is so lovely ❤️

Can’t choose your tip ?Mexican food Mexicans would be embarrassed of. Imagine being a Mexican restaurant and having a hot sauce that is less than mild.What are you trying to prove?

Food was extremely salty.I ordered the shrimp mole and all I tasted was salt.There was a group next to me and they were very loud. I mentioned to the server and he said he couldn’t “kick them out “.I just wanted them to lower thier volume as it was not indoors talking.I am never going back

First time patrons, just had the best creamy tomato and chicken consomme soups and best Baja fish, sopas, and chorizo tacos. Excellent! We will come again.

Honestly the best chorizo I've ever had, my dining buddy loved the Tacos de Carne Asada. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations around the neighborhood.Accessibility: Stairs to get in, but one floor layout between dining area and washrooms. Typical for a Kensington location.

The quesadillas are the best!!The fish taco was very tasty too!To me, the one for pulled pork was missing a sauce, or perhaps some sour cream to add some moisture. But it was also very

We finally tried this cute, dimly-lit sit-down restaurant on the main strip of Kensington Market! This place was such a good find! The portions were very generous and we left stuffed and happy.Pro tip: order these two dishes together: the guacamole and the choriqueso (this is chorizo plus cheese). With the tortillas and the chips, you can make a super combo between them and it's cool and hot, crunchy and soft, and so perfect!Also, their fish tacos were perfect-- super delicate fish, perfectly battered, with the right amount of toppings that had an unexpected bit of sweetness. So good!

It's a nice restaurant with friendly staff but the taco prices are a lot higher than the quality of the food in my personal opinion. I definitely would return and try something new.

We tried this place for the first time while at Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington - so glad we did! The staff is super attentive, friendly and service was excellent. The food was fresh, flavourful and the menu itself has a nice variety of casual dishes - including some vegetarian and vegan options. The cocktails were strong yet well-balanced, the Palomas especially really hit the spot! The hot sauces they bring to the table were delish and the vibe was lively yet laid back - perfect for a Sunday funday patio. We will definitely return soon!
