This restaurant is an absolute joke. We arrived at 7:30pm and went on the list for a table for 3. We were told there was 1 table in front of us and to wait inside. By 8pm we asked the host if we could go to the bar to have a drink while we waited, she said she’d have to check and let us know. She went to “check” and came back to the host stand and started speaking to other people. We didn’t want to bug her so we waited a few minutes and asked about standing at the bar, she said it was too full so we continued to wait. She then went on to allow 2 people who walked in to stand at the bar. We then, after 40 minutes of waiting and seeing numerous tables being sat, asked again if we could stand at the bar while we waited, she said yes but not to block the pathway. We then saw a table of 4 leave so I went to the front to ask her if we could have their table and she said there was a table that had it reserved… DESPITE their Instagram and website saying they don’t take reservations. We obliged and continued to wait while we saw more and more tables being sat. While we waited at the bar, we ordered $18 margaritas which we saw them pouring out of a premade cocktail jar… if I’m paying $18 for a drink, it should be made to order, especially at a Mexican spot. This all being said, we waited another 15 minutes for a table and still weren’t sat. I proceeded to go onto their Instagram page and let people know about our experience. I posted a comment about their poor customer service, premade cocktails, and our experience and they decided to BLOCK me and delete my comment on Instagram. I honestly have not had such a terrible experience at a restaurant ever. I would avoid this spot like the plague.

Such a fun and festive place to grab a margarita and delicious food. Carla took the time to tell us the history of the decorations - it was a great spot, glad we stopped in.

Really tasty authentic food, not imitations. Fun atmosphere, the only bad thing a 1 hour line to get in.

Went there this weekend, i found the prices to be insane for the amount of food you get. This picture bellow is worth $76 not including taxes.

$17 for 2 small tacos, that were very unseasoned, especially for birria tacos, and paired with water downed consomé.

we also got a platter to share that had 4 small mozzarella sticks, 4 small jalepeno poppers and a couple of french fries that was literally $21. it’s absurd to charge people this much and think that’s it’s reasonable.

i don’t mind paying this much for actual good food, but i think this place just takes it a little too far.

I loved it, it is decorated beautifully, everything is very Christmassy and the attention of the girl named Paula is highly recommended, since we arrived even though there were many people she worried about assigning us a table, I highly recommend it!!!

Disappointing service. Don’t be fooled by the reviews as this place is a joke. Makes you wait a hour just to remove you from the waiting list. Complete disgrace having this establishment in the Ossington/Liberty area.

As a Christmas lover I was so excited to go here! However, I was left disappointed in the way my friend and I was treated.

He accidentally spilled his drink (which mind you was $18 before tax and tip). When it came time to pay the bill I asked the waitress the drink had spilled would it be possible to comp to and she very rudely just gave me the machine to just pay for it. If she nicely had said I can maybe discount it I would have been okay and understood but to give attitude and just be like pay for it was extremely unprofessional. Due to that I will not be going back!!

Went here yesterday with a friend. While we were there, I accidentally spilled a full drink reaching for a napkin.
The staff were incredibly helpful with cleaning it up.

However, when the bill came they had charged me $18 for the drink. I understand its to the restaurants discretion, but in general, restaurants should compensate customers for accidents that happen while dining.

When I asked the waitress about it, she refused to take it off the bill.

Great atmosphere, but if you’re going to nickel and dime me for a mistake, cant recommend going here.

Tacos were ok, but kind of tasteless and some were served cold. Very over the top with Christmas decorations - if that's your vibe, you might like it.
