Food: texmex (at least the chilaquiles)

Taste: Good!
However, the tortilla chips appear to have been smeared in scarce sauce. ?mex cream + cheese were decent.

Missing: diced onions, avocado, +/- cilantro. Oh, and appropriate amount of sauce.

Sanitation: Lastly, nice young female server was sweeping floors, kitchen bell rang when my food was ready. Same server went to the kitchen and immediately brought out my food. While I cant say that she didnt wash her hands b/f handling my food b/c I was not in the kitchen, her speedy entry/exit from the kitchen has me suspicious she didnt. And if she didnt, it then becomes a sanitary issue

We went here based on Google review scores. But unfortunately we were quite disappointed with our experience. We found the restaurant while traveling through the region with the expectation that dinner would be relatively quick.
The restaurant was a little busy when we first arrived but we were the only people in the restaurant when the waitress finally took our order. It took more than 30 minutes for the food to arrive, and my wife's dinner didn't arrive until at least 5 minutes later. We were mostly done our food by the time her's arrived. Not cool.
And on leaving we were told their payment machine was broken and they couldn't accept debit or credit. Just cash or e-transfer. Thankfully we had enough cash. I get it...systems can fail. But I would have appreciated knowing that before we placed our order.
The food was reasonably good although my wife's chipotle chicken was way too salty (and she is usually okay with salty dishes). My steak tacos were also 'just okay' since they were a little plain.

I think the restaurant has promise, but they have some work to do. I would have rated it a 3 as stars until we were told their credit/debit machine wasn't working.

Wow - first time visiting this restaurant from Moncton and will probably be the last. Arrived at supper time on Sunday July 13 and it was not busy at all and I know why: nothing to sell as they had no protein that could be ordered - no chicken, no steak, no pull pork, no mole….

I suggest you call before thinking of going there to ensure they have food to sell.

Awesome little restaurant! Staff were super friendly and helpful (even when they were super packed and busy), the space was awesome, and the food was reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back any time I'm in the area!

We went there when they opened maybe a year or so ago (maybe two) and we had a good experience we since came back three times and each time is worse. Went today for a fourth and it was the last time. The poor student that was serving was completely lost and overwhelmed, she was not remembering the orders, forgot to serve someone at a table and people behind us were waiting for 40mn with no menu. Mind you, it's not her fault she has clearly no training and is left alone at the busiest hour but the owner arrived after the rush and was laughing and making jokes to her. We paid 100$ for 3 plates of nachos with a bit of meat on top, tacos for a kid (the tortilla and chicken) and a guacamole... They don't have a kid menu and they're always running out of something on the regular menu. The food is not good anymore, before it had flavors, spices, a real Mexican touch but now it's only fried and blend. The glasses were dirty as well as the floor and all the furniture in the restaurant. I am very sad that this cool restaurant became this.. I hope they will take the recent comments into account.

Disappointing. We were there when they first opened and the quality has definitely gone down which is a shame. We don’t eat out often and we had been looking forward to going back as soon as we tried it the first time. We ordered to go because it was busy and it was an hour wait. We didn’t mind that because we remembered how great the food was. But they didn’t have any of the pulled pork or street corn which we initially wanted so we got chicken. When we got home we found that we only got one nacho (ordered and paid for two) and the quesadilla only contained half a handful of chicken and nothing else. We tried to call for about 15 minutes to ask about it but there was no answer. I can’t see us ordering out again, hoping this was a one off and will probably stick to eating at the restaurant if we end up going back.

There was nothing wrong with the presentation or flavours but we found it unfortunately quite bland. It needed some lemon/lime/cilantro or something to brighten it up. I wanted to like it more. :(

Service was terrible. Paid the bill and tipped anyway but I would be hard pressed to go back. We waited for over an hour to receive our food after ordering. Had to ask for water more than once. The waitress spent more time worrying about something other than the patrons sitting in front of her.

Great Mexican restaurant a short drive out of Moncton. Tasty food. Great service. Plus they have Sol beer not only Corona :)
Sad note, they didn’t have any sauces other than what tasted like franks hot sauce for the tacos.

First time at this restaurant and we’ll be back. What a gem! Food was authentic and so good. We both had Taco Dorados and were still talking about how delicious it was.

If you have not tried this place you are MISSING out. I have tried this place a few times before writing this and every-time was bang on! Worth leaving this 5 star review for sure! We get the MIX and Match now every time and it’s always amazing. They only have a single person out front to take care of everyone so please be patient as this place is worth it. Highly recommend BUT do yourself a favor and add the pulled pork Nachos to the order. We will be back.

One of the only authentic Mexican restaurants in the area, hell, maybe the province! Food was delicious and fairly priced, and there were a lot of traditional items I wasn't familiar with that I'm eager to go back and try. Only downside was that they had no Mexican-style beer on hand (though apparently they do normally carry it).

It's also next to the antique mall (one of my favorite places in NB), the Salisbury market, and a pizza/ice cream parlor. Going to be one of my favorite spots this summer, 100%.
