The fish tacos were fresh, flavourful, and well seasoned. The service was warm and attentive. The staff made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. Such a wonderful, inviting experience. Will definitely go back there again.
I wish they offer Halal meat option in future.

The fish tacos were delicious. The fish was crispy, tender and packed with flavour. The chips and rice sides were appreciated. The service was fast. They were kind, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable. I only eat halal so limited options, but I will definitely be coming back 🤗

Really cool looking spot. Reviews made it sound like Mexican heaven. Unfortunately it didn't meet these expectations by a long shot. Had to double check Google if I was at the right place. Man what a miss. Go instead to Dartmouth's Sabrosa every is way way better.
We had to get our nachos fixed 3 times then they showed up cold and gross. Margarita was boring, no salt or pepper to upgrade the bland food. Tacos were ok, but didn't wow me then we didn't get any rice with them which the waitress said was included. No drink menu, service was very slow. I didn't even like the only desert option. I feel bad but it was legit not good. We laughed on the way out how big of a miss this was.

I think we were there on an off night based on the reviews. There was one waiter serving the entire place which maybe made things slower than normal. When my drink arrived it was great, but I was never asked if I wanted another. The taco meal was missing the rice (we thought maybe you only got rice or chips but now realize we should have had both), the kids quesadillas was so bland and depressing with almost no beans, and our chicken nachos were so cold that the cheese wasn't melted. Honestly, one of the wise dinners it we've had in a while.

They accepted a reservation for 10. I believe it was one hour before they even took our food orders. There was only one over worked waitress for the whole restaurant. The food is amazing, probably the best Mexican food I’ve had. But in the future will not be making a group reservation, service is far too slow.

I decided to grab a quick meal before my flight back home. The fish tacos were delicious and the service was friendly.

Good price for portions given the location. Quality is very good. Solid service. Taste is 5 star. Classic Margarita gets my wife 5 star rating, lucky me.

Ordered the mushroom burrito as takeout on a whim for lunch. It was literally the best burrito I’ve ever had in Halifax by a long shot. Bursting with flavour, perfectly assembled, amazing seasoning. Do yourself a favour and get one. Note that salsa or sour cream are extras, but I found they weren’t necessary. Will definitely be back.

The place is one of my favorites in downtown Halifax. The hospitality is fantastic. I'm a lover of Marghirittas (this is where I go when Im feeling a good marg) and the waiter there aloud me to try a new berry blend of Marghirritta and it was delicious !! A great name for this upcoming Marg would be Berry Mabuhay Marghirritta. A Mexican blend with a positive welcoming, from a berry twist from the Phillipines :)

I came here at lunch with my co-workers. The service is fantastic, the music is fun, and the decor is warm and exciting.
I had the baja fish tacos and they came with fresh rice and chips. Absolutely delicious, full of flavour and fresh. Would 100% go again!
