Overall the food was good but the beef was a bit dry. The price for 3 tacos being 15 bucks, That’s a bit steep for tacos.

I've had their Pork Belly Tortada, Shrimp Tacos and Birria Tacos. OMG! Fantastic food, great ambiance and wonderful service! My absolute go-to when in Thunder Bay. About 1.5km from the airport.

First time went as a group and great flavor with the food. Actually had ordered a plate of nachos twice, as an appetizer and with the main course as they disappeared. Ordered a variety of meat tacos, a shrimp taco, taquitos and some sides and is definitely a go again. Prices are on the lower side as well so wasn't as expensive.

Food was great! Had the carnitas tacos. Everyone at the table enjoyed there food. However, service was slow (possibly understaffed) and mistakes were made in orders, though corrected.

I didn't care for the live music that was being performed part of the night I was there but others might like it.

Wow what a gem. Great food friendly staff and pup friendly. Sat on the patio very spacious. Had the Birria taco, corn bean salad and a margarita sooo delicious. The only thing that makes me sad is I have to go back to Winnipeg and they aren't there.

Visiting this city for work always gets me excited food wise. Enjoyed a quick dinner at Nortenos today. I had the shrimp tacos and the papas al hornos. Desiree was my server and she was quick, witty and enjoyable. Love this establishment.

Went to thunder bay on a work trip stop by here to grab something to eat. Food was delicious I got the birria tacos they were the best tacos I have ever had. The waiter was super nice and friendly. The food came within 10 minutes of ordering. And was very reasonably priced. Overall 10/10

Our family stopped here after getting off a flight. Great place food was delicious. Had a few Coronas and enjoyed the live band. We will definitely be back our next time passing through T-Bay.

My friends and I came here our first evening in Thunder Bay. Overall, could’ve been more impressed especially considering the other good reviews. The drinks took a while to come out and although they were busy, a table next to us arrived after we got there, ate, and paid before we got our food. The waitress was really nice but overall we were waiting on her quite often with the drinks and food. Also no free chips and salsa, in fact it’s $5 for one plate and no refills either.

That being said, the $10 birria taco deal on Wednesday is a really good deal and all the food was firee. Not as good as California birria but I’m sure it’s top notch anywhere up north. The music was also good and everyone was very nice, so can’t complain about the customer service. Not a bad place to go if you have a smaller group I think.

The place itself seems pretty decent, but there are also some really inconvenient things — especially at the moment when you just want to relax and not think about any of it. For example, you might end up waiting a very long time for your order. When we were there, it wasn’t even a holiday or anything special — just a regular weekend. But the place was packed, and getting your beer, for instance, could take forever.
They keep saying “sorry, sorry” and smiling — which is nice — but when you’ve already got your snacks or when you’re trying to enjoy your time, having to wait 40 minutes for basic things is frustrating. Other than that, the place isn’t bad. But if you’re planning to hang out and have a good time with friends, think carefully about what time you go. Because you might end up with long gaps between your snacks, drinks, or anything else you’ve ordered.

Was here for dinner tonight, supper was fabulous and delicious and our server, Javier(hope I spelt correctly) was wonderful. His professionalism and charm and great personality shone when he had to deal with a difficult customer. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed by how he handled the situation. As usual our tacos and shrimp tacos tasted amazing and recommend everyone to try! Again it was a pleasure Javier

Riya !

We catered to our home for a party of 15 people.
Called to place order the day before and super easy and efficient.
Food was outstanding and we had so many people raving about it.
Tacos, taquitos and nachos was the theme.
The delivery was so nice to have and speaking of the delivery driver was so nice.
We had a perfect backyard party for 15 to 20 people and no cooking and minimal clean up!
Thanks again
Paula
