“ Second time I’ve visited this spot and did not disappoint! Had the enchiladas and they were tasty! Would recommend stopping in if you are in the area. ”
“ Maybe it was just a perfect day, but our visit here was an absolute joy. Drinks (sangria for me, Mojito for The Wife) and tacos (I had shrimp, I can't remember what hers were, but she loved them) were just fantastic. It was a gorgeous spring Sunday at Kensington Market, so wonderful people-watching while we sipped and ate. The only thing that could improve things might be complementary chips and salsa, but that's not even close to a complaint. In a weekend full of great meals, this might have been my favorite. We hope to be back soon! ”
“ The tacos and these Margaritas were so delicious! These are fish tacos and the drinks were Tamarind Margarita and the Rosa margarita. Both were really tasty! The added spices that they give you for the tacos were delicious and they had an outdoor covered patio with heaters which was great! Recommended if you are in the area and want to sit down to eat! ”
“ All of our meals were so delicious, some of them were plated very fancy and designed too! The cocktails were made fast and also looked gorgeous. Service was friendly and efficient and we were pleasantly surprised by how lovely our experience was ”
“ Wow! No pictures unfortunately I ate my meal up so quick! The food is authentic Mexican and absolutely delicious! I had a very hard time deciding what to have. Tamales were very good! Absolutely have the guacamole and chips - fantastic! Service was 10/10. Outdoor patio is perfect for a nice break while shopping the Kensington market! Would 100% recommend!! ”
