Solid spot for tacos and margs…read more We had the shrimp, fish, carnitas, and birria tacos. The carnitas and birria had good flavour, but the shrimp and fish taco were pretty light on shrimp/fish. The margarita was good. A cute casual spot with a nice patio in Hess Village, dog friendly and friendly service. Overall a solid experience, would return for a carnitas taco and marg on the patio if in the area.

The food is absolutely delicious, very friendly staff and the portions are a good amount of food. Personally, I ordered the Birria tacos. There is so much flavor in the food here, as I tried a little bit from everyone's order. I HAD TO !! For dessert, I had their tres leches cake. It was delicious and after eating it, I even ordered an entire tres leches cake for the weekend (they require a 2-day preorder for cakes). I'm glad to have found this place and can't wait to come back !!

Well balanced. The steak fajitas fed two. The kids almost finished their tacos. The croquettes are one of my absolute favorites and they really were great. We all sampled each others food and I would come back if I was in the area again. The shrimp on garlic sauce had some heat. All around great place. Parking in the area was rough. I don't know what to suggest for this. Obviously a beach area at the lake and busy. We almost didn't find parking. Glad we did.

The chicken chorizo chimichanga was very big, filled with cheese, with a crispy outside. The only downside to my visit was having to wait for the waiter to come to take our order. We were seated near the back, and we felt forgotten about. One of us had to walk to the front to kindly ask for someone to take our orders. However, the staff were very kind :)

I am really not sure how to rate this place, but here it goes…read more The service was ok, there was only one person waiting the tables on a Friday night. She was very nice though. But, took a long time to get to us, and to get our drinks. The margaritas were, how should I say, crap. We had the fried calamari for an appetizer, really not a Mexican thing, but it was excellent. The nachos were good, not the greatest. Guacamole was really poor, and you get only a small amount. What's with that? We had the seafood chimichanga, and the combo platter. It was all good, not great though. And, get this, it came with a Caesar salad. Are you kidding me? The sauces were really good, not sure if they are house made from a can though. If a Mexican restaurant can't make a half descent margarita and a great guacamole, well..... Still looking for a good Mexican place in the Toronto, Hamilton area. This one is not it.
