A group of us stopped in here after going to Halo Brewery around the corner. We saw the reviews looked good, it was close, and our friend is gluten free so we thought this place was a good option. The food here was really solid! When we sat down our server told us the items they were currently sold out of which I always appreciate staff doing. Not every place does this or the staff are not always aware of what they are out of until you order and they check with the kitchen. So I really liked that she let us know up front. I chose the Pastor Tacos and thought maybe it wouldn’t be enough food to be filling as it was just 3 tacos, but the tacos are very generously filled. There was a lot of meat on them. And the meat was well seasoned and not dried out. Everything was very flavourful and very filling. I really enjoyed our meal here, and the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. If you are in the area and you like Mexican, you should definitely stop in. Thank you for a great meal.

Hip street food that doesn’t pull punches. They carry a wide range of dishes…. Tacos both soft and hard shell, guacamole that runs out (meaning they make it by hand *gasp), shareable items too. Important to remember though that you’re going to an authentic Mexican restaurant. Gluten dairy and meat are interspersed liberally. Otherwise, what a great little snack. I hear they do take out as well. Check them out.
