Great, actual AUTHENTIC mexican food. Spanish guitarist, too!
Very busy (packed) and we went with no reservations and there was no wait. Portions were a good size; I was full and I'm a glutton
I've read a few negative reviews regarding this place, but can not believe what was said. This is a mom & pop place in Streetsville and if you go there with that in mind, you'll be pleasantly surprised. We'll be back for sure.
The food at this little family run place is fantastic. We have been there 4 times and have left satisfied each time. The flavors are amazing and the servings are a great size. A two item meal is enough for two meals. The service is not fantastic, but they are friendly if a bit slow. The decor is dated and could use a facelift, but the fantastic margaritas made up for a bit of bad track lighting. We look forward to another trip.
i'm really impress with all the comments... it was my second time going to the restaurant and i think is awesome!!! The food was excellent!!! The service was spectacular, too. We will back!!
