My daughter is obsessed with the cheese papusas here. And while I haven’t tried everything on the menu, people I’ve gone here with have given nothing but rave reviews to which I agree. Yum!

We got the guanaquita trio chips, chimichanga platter, and biria tacos. All of these were exceptional. It’s a bit pricey but worth it for the quality.

Our favourite restaurant in Kitchener Waterloo! Amazing food, friendly staff and a good vibe. Only negative is that the service is really slow when it gets busy but still totally worth it for us.

The food is fantastic- I recommend the grande platter and the berry flight for drinks! I would skip the margarita flight tbh. Expect an hour wait for food.

The food is good quality with good portion sizes. The menu has plenty of choices but it's very confusing, difficult to understand, and hard to read.
The service is so bad though. I've been there multiple times and they're always slow and not attentive, but today was so bad I have to write a review about it so others are aware not to go here just for that. I waited like 20 minutes to get a waiter to order, even after I got tired of waiting and got up to tell them I'm ready. Then I waited 1.5 hours to get my food after I ordered. Don't go here because their service is so bad.

The vibes and the food are insane. You'd miss this place just walking by the street because it's on the second floor with a somewhat unassuming sign. This is my default spot to bring anyone that's new to town.

We had a good quality time with friends here. Mango Chamoy is the best drink one can ever ask for, specially during this summer.

Trust me, I chugged down 2 full glasses of Mango Chamoy (extra spicy) 🌶️🌶️. It was tangy and refreshing. Adding a picture to help you decide for yourself.

I’ve been here so much that I can’t keep track. The staff is so friendly and it’s nice being able to customize your plate to your appetite/liking (though as you can see I usually get the guanaquita platter 😋). Highly recommend!

Was visiting Kitchener-Waterloo for the weekend with my wife and son. Saw all the reviews for this place and decided to give it a try. Ordered the combination platter (take out) for my wife and I and we weren’t sure as to what to expect but we enjoyed every bite of what we ordered. Would recommend this place to give it a try!
