Food was alright and fairly satisfying, however, we had to wait outside for 15+ minutes along with another group without anyone coming by to bring us to a table. Some guests who came up behind us in line eventually left because of it. There was plenty of room inside and free tables were available outside, so the lack of host/hostess service was very puzzling.We decided to eat inside, where it was quite cool and dark, and we had to track or flag down our server multiple times during the meal. The paper menus looked like they had been repeatedly soaked in moisture and re-used, and the QR codes on the tables didn't work when they were actually scannable (2/3 I tried weren't). The small details matter, and some fixes like laminating the menus or fixing the QR codes, are easy to do.Their take on an old fashioned tasted nothing like one, but it was good nevertheless. The fish tacos were excellent, but the portions could've been bigger. My quesadilla tasted good, but not overwhelmingly so... I could've come close with a homemade recipe. The churros we had for dessert were yummy. Overall, fairly average.In all, we'll probably sample the other Mexican restaurants in the area before deciding to come back here.

This gem in Port Credit is definitely a vibe from the heated patios to the Taco Tuesday specials. This place is always packed with people taking advantage of their 3 taco special for $15..It's the only day you can mix your choice of taco from a variety of options. My favorite is the shrimp, chicken, and pork being my #1. The civeche was good but I've had much better.. it would've been better if they chopped the shrimp into pieces so it was chunked rather than whole Shrimps and the homade tortilla chips could've been more fresh to order. Aside from that I would definitely be back this summer
Great service by Raquel, google maps said they werent open on monday . Walked by and they werenopen. They need to update they google hours. 10/10 service

Atmosphere is the only nice thing about this place. Service is absolutely horrible. We were seated inside and served no menus. Nobody came up to us for 30 minutes, when they served us food it was tasteless and bland.

Great drink specials; amazing night life. Staff is lovely and so friendly. Fish tacos are the absolute best I’ve ever had. Patio is dog friendly and they have water dishes and treats for your pets. Best spot in port credit!
Came here and Mar I believe her name was served me the best drinks and she was also very pretty. Beat margaritas around

LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!! Incredible staff! We had my cousins reunion here and everyone was beyond phenomenal. The food took a bit extra and they accommodated and MARTA made us CHURROS ? on the house. The bartenders Josh and Reagan were so personable and our waitress Nicole had incredible customer service. Already made a reso for next weekend!!! Dog friendly patio.

I had the best experience at this bar. The bartenders were amazing and showed me so many great cocktails to try. Shout out to Raquel she was so sweet and bubbly all night love her <3. The food was amazing loved the enchiladas and the chimichanga was hugeee and delicious. The night vibes here are also great inside is more bar/lounge vibes and outside is more chill. This place has it all. Definetly recommend coming 10/10!!!
