    Corn was deliciously spicy and messy! Chicken and beef cheek tacos were flavorful and small. Filling and satisfying meal!

    Always be sure to keep room for dessert. Ice cream is always a good idea after tacos and tequila. Also, any dish with corn is amazing here.

    Went to the John St location. Gotta try their guac and chips. Really liked their Ceviche tacos and pollo frito - which was recommended by one of their staff. Good service too. 😊

    Get the Carne Asada bowl. Been here a few times, never been too impressed. Had this and oh my lord. Best thing on the menu, just amazing flavors.

    My absolute favourite is the chorizo taco, but absolutely loved all of them!

    Tried their tacos and ribs. The ribs were ok, but nothing special. Their Carnita taco was delicious and worth coming back to! Atmosphere is lively and cozy as well!

    Get the avocado and mango salad. Guac and chips are a must. Fish tacos are great too.

    Very nice restaurant, better layout and the music is not as loud as on College, which is so much better! Great tacos and friendly staff.

    The pollo con frito was fantastic, the margarita was also pretty good. Service was not great, but a cool environment nonetheless!

    Awesome tacos and an awesome vibe. The music is pretty loud so don't come here if you don't enjoy that.

    Ceviche tostada reminiscent of Seven Lives in Kensington, but personal-size and plated. I think Seven Lives is better

    Layout of the restaurant is much better than College St. Music is WAY to loud, impossible to have a conversation with your company. Good for quick bite, tacos taste very average.

    My third time in this location and every single time they screwed up my order. The staff really need their training brought up to par with the other locations. Not impressed.
