My go-to for good food, good drinks, and good company.

I’ve been here many times and the food and service are both always incredible. We recently had a big group for a party and our server went above and beyond the whole evening, even decorated the cake for us. Flawless. Drinks are delicious and recommend the carne asada!

I loved the service. Your hostess was very pleasant last night April 30th. The nachos and cheese were amazing. Never really tried it with corn. But no regrets. Sorry we couldn't tip more (; thank you for the great experience!

Got the nachos, taco sample, chicken mole, and churros. The nachos were a massive portion and the toppings were evenly layered through, a very nice touch. The tacos were all decent, not the best but definitely enjoyable. The chicken mole was the highlight of the meal, wonderfuly flavoured and cooked just right. The churros to end were okay but I feel they were oven baked and the raspberry sauce wasn't to my taste but still tasty.

I will definitely come back for more!

We went for dinner on a Wednesday evening. It was super quiet so we were sat immediately by Nick. He informed us the margaritas were $8 and asked us if we had been there before or had any questions. The food and drinks were amazing, and they had everything we asked for on the menu (with the exception of the Horchata because apparently Thunder Bay doesn't know what's good). Nick's customer service was fun and refreshing. He felt genuine and made sure we had everything we needed, but still gave us space for ourselves. Nick was truly a gem and made dinner a fantastic experience. I hope he's getting paid what he's worth!

Firstly ya don't know if it's even open, no sign or hours posted outside. The most slowest service like over 1 hour I ve ever had for basic nachos and fish tacos. Taco shell like card board everything lacked flavor for a mexican restaurant, taco chips hardest chips ever, which make them all burnt on exposed tips with cheese, sent it back no better 2nd round. Suggest a better quality traditional chip.

It was really a good experience overall. Food was delicious and there cilantro lime sauce i just loved it. I would definitely recommend to visit this place and service was amazing. Didn’t have to wait too long for food.

The server Nick was incredibly wonderful and attentive, giving great suggestions for drinks and food. The cactus run he suggested was delightfully refreshing and not too sweet or sour. The Pollo Con Mole is by far the best mole I have had in town; incredibly flavourful, crispy, juicy chicken with a sauce that hits the right spice level. This is easily one of my go to restaurants in town for some really good food and drink with a fun atmosphere to complete the dining experience. The new sous chef had made a most wonderful dessert special that day and it exceeded my expectations and left me wanting more. TL DR: A wonderful dining experience with a great atmosphere, staff and food and beverage. Recommend all to try

Best Mexican food in Thunder Bay! My only quibble is that I wish they had more menu options - some sides would be great!

We went for our date night, had discussions about Margaritas with staff previously and I said we would come and check it out. The drinks were excellent as promised with an education on tequila and how the drinks were made, also the food was very delicious. We totally enjoyed our dinner end experience, will be back.

Our waitress was not very attentive. One of the meals tasted horrible, and they sat us right by the kitchen, even though there were many open tables. I would not rush back.

The food is very authentic Mexican! We went for Valentine's Day and the atmosphere was just perfect. Lovely low ambience and a beautiful Day of the Dead inspired hand painted mural by a local artist. The server was fantastic as well!
