Took 2 hours to get our lunch, drinks and cheque. Two different servers came up to take our orders, very unorganized and honestly not worth the price

I had a wonderful experience! Our server, whose name like "Ryanell" or "Rynall”was fantastic. I think I might have misunderstood something he said at the end, and if I did, I apologize - I didn't mean to cause any offense. The service, food, and atmosphere were all excellent! I definitely plan on visiting again.

First time eating there. Made a reservation for 5:30 pm on a Saturday, not busy at all but picked up when we left shortly after 7. Food was really good, our favourite was the tuna tostadas. Service was excellent, Rylan was excellent and helpful with the menu. Courses were brought out in good sequence and timely. Would recommend this restaurant and we will be returning soon.

We love this place. The food is always exciting and full of flavour. With each bite, you can taste the care and passion of the kitchen team. The fried cheese feature for Cinco de Mayo was an 11/10. The vibe, design, and decor are so lovely. The service cannot be beat. The location is excellent. Amazing patio!

Was the first visit. Had the trout crudo with totopos , and the al pastor margarita and they were so tasty. Sat on the patio against the wall and we could have done with some shade but the space was very comfortable. Our server was friendly. Would go again.

The food is solid; good flavours, nice presentation, fresh, good quality. The cocktails were outstanding; great selection of well-balanced margaritas and a good number of zero-proof cocktails; the Horchatini was particularly good - an espresso martini with Horchata. Our server made our experience outstanding. She made excellent recommendations for drink pairings and the order in which the food was to be brought to the table . Will definitely be back.

The happy hour is worth it, $5 tacos are hard to beat, and they are pretty good. However the restaurant was fairly empty and the service was very slow.

Had a business lunch here - the volume was great, service was friendly and fast. Food was delicious - my lunch partner had chicken tostadas and I had queso panela tacos.

Place was so pretty and service was great. Food had good flavour but it's quite subtle and I felt like I wanted to taste that richness a lot more from mexican dishes.

I recently enjoyed a wonderful meal with my family and friends, and I must say, the food was exceptional. Each dish featured a unique twist on contemporary cuisine. We particularly loved the ceviche, which was incredibly fresh with a perfect proportion of seafood. The beet salad amazing were another highlight—so creative and delicious!
For our main courses, we highly recommend the barbacoa lamb and the cochinita, which transported us right to Yucatan with its authentic flavors. The steak was impressive, expertly cooked with a delightful herbal taste, and the marrow bone added a secret touch of richness.
My wife and mom ordered the Ceviche Nayarit which was a massive meal perfect for sharing—like a delightful experience that we turned into tacos. The drinks were equally enjoyable; the margaritas were spot on, and the pastor drink had a lovely flavor.
Note: I been in Native, Anejo, Fortuna and I feel Fonda is the best fresh flavour and the pristine margaritas in town

A beautiful space but service and food were a huge letdown. Service was so patchy - our waitress was polite but we waited so long to be able to order food and found it constantly difficult to get our waiter’s attention for additional drinks and plates (despite the restaurant being largely empty). Particularly disappointing when we were charged an automatic gratuity for our table size.

The food itself was okay but overpriced for what you get - the savory churros were interesting but the octopus tacos were tasteless and chewy and included soggy, wilted lettuce leaves.

Travelling and stumbled in for dinner. Incredible dishes, fantastic presentation, stunning building, amazing decor, atmosphere and music choice. Our server Jade was exceptional. A true professional. The manager brought out guac on the house as our food was taking a little bit more time than expected, and it's such a powerful hospitality move that establishments don't do enough. This place has won us over entirely! Blurry photo but my mum had the trout dish and it was amazing.

Went there for a holiday party and everything was so poorly handled. So unprofessional. And neither the food nor drinks were good. It used to be pretty good, but gone downhill. Too bad.
