I've been here several times and a great stop for a bite during the just for laughs festival. Random place for a Mexican restaurant right in heart of China town l, seems like there are others opening up as well.
I'm always impressed the the freshness of the meat and quality of the tacos. The hot sauce (green) is amazing. It did take a while to get the food out but seeing that they are cooking on a grill and fresh I'll wait a bit.
The tortillas are super soft and loved the beaf rib eye. Home made salsa has a kick and packed with flavor. I like that it's not over dressed with sauces.. I can appreciate the the flavor of the meat. I also recommend the fish tacos..
They also have vegetarian option..
when I first went they didn't have a liquor license. Now that they do the selection is quite good. Yes they do have corona with a slice of lime!
As for the decor .. if u ever been to Mexico it's not meant to be over the top .. I can't say it's eye catching at all but it's doesn't have to be. I like the common seating it brings that friendly social environment. If ur not very social that look at ur plate and partner. If you are well make new friends!
I find it nice that the summer the front is completely open with sliding doors. So yes we don't live alone on this earth there will be spiders and bugs! A spider can build a complete web in 30min...expect to see them around. I don't expect the staff to start swatting flys and bugs all night long. I personally haven't been attacked by them lol .. if you leave u windows open all day you will have uninvited guests. Montreal's summer days are numbered I'm glad we can enjoy the open air at a restaurant ..
If you happen to go when there are festivals expect a line.. and it could take a while.
