What People Say

Reviewers rave about the authentic flavors, especially the tacos, enchiladas, and tamales, with many saying it’s some of the best Mexican food in Toronto. The staff is consistently praised for being friendly and attentive, and the portions hit the sweet spot between generous and manageable.

Areas for Improvement

The space is cozy, which means it can get a bit crowded during peak hours—especially before and after shows. Reservations aren’t always available, so you might need to wait a few minutes for a table. Also, while the food is flavorful and filling, it's more of a casual spot than an upscale dining experience.
