We came to celebrate a family member who was called to the bar…not that bar! What a celebration! The serving team were fantastic. Who knew that one of our servers Pamela was a tequila sommelier. And yes, she knows her tequila. We ate and we drank and it was a night to remember. ¡Gracias a todos por hacer que nuestra celebración fuera perfecta!

Such a gorgeous restaurant! The space is HUGE, and they even have a heated patio, although we ended up sitting indoors. Service was fantastic too, our server was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout

We ordered a ridiculous amount of food for three girls, but absolutely no regrets! I genuinely cannot get over how good the Baja fish tacos were, easily one of my favourites. The fresh guacamole was amazing too, and we really enjoyed our dessert!

The chicken dish was a little underwhelming, and the margaritas were pretty average, nothing particularly memorable. But the food overall was good, especially the tacos. Would happily return just for those!

The 2 stars are mainly for the location and the atmosphere. The space is impressive, with a great vibe and one of the more interesting settings in the Distillery District. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended for us.

It felt more like a tourist trap than a restaurant focused on delivering a good dining experience. Service was poor. I specifically asked for flour tortillas, but our food arrived with corn tortillas. When I asked our server about it, I was told hesitantly that changing them would take another 20 minutes, so we decided to just keep what we had.

The food was average at best, portions were quite small, and the prices were far too high for what we received. Overall, I didn't feel the food or service justified the price.

Great location and vibe, but unfortunately I DON'T recommend it.

Not sure where to start because the entire experience was fantastic!

From the moment we arrived, our server Cheyenne and her perfect smile set the tone for the kind of experience we were in for. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome — I even got to practice a little Spanish with her!

The food was absolutely amazing and easily worthy of being called some of the best Mexican food in the GTA. Between the flavors, the atmosphere, and the overall vibe, I honestly felt like I had been transported to the Mayan Riviera.

We sat on the patio, and on a hot August day, the misters keeping us cool were the perfect touch. Great music, great atmosphere, incredible food, and exceptional service — what more could you ask for?

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food and an amazing atmosphere in Toronto.

Cheyenne, thank you for making an already great experience even better! We will 100% be back every time we’re in Toronto.

If you like to eat in a loud place, this place checks that box. Food was delicious, no denying that. We had reservations for 8. Didnt see a drink for 45 mins. Food was 2 hours to come out! Good thing they fill you up on chips and guacamole because their serving sizes are small at best. Again, flavor, texture, temp, all good but come on, for $30, I'd expect a bit more food. Maybe a hot sauce tray or Pico with the nachos.
We had a party of 16 for a birthday. The bill was no small fee. Server tells us that he is bringing us a desert tray for the table and for nobody to leave because he'll be right back. 35 mi uses later dude shows up with 4, yes 4 FRIGGIN CHURROS!!! And hands us like 8 small plates and forks for us all to share. Over 2k for the bill, tiny meals, no extra sauces, and 4 friggin churros?
Im not going back.

The food is fantastic and the service is great. We sat outside on their awesome patio. Even though it was hot, they had fans and mist going to keep it cool. The server was very attentive. Our margarita flight was the only slight dissapointment. We only like 2 out of the 4 flavors. The area around the restaurant is great too. Lots of shops and areas to hangout.

We absolutely loved our lunch! The food was delicious, and the service from Josue was exceptional from start to finish. He was friendly, attentive, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. He truly went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. Honestly, if we come back, we hope Josue is our server every single time because he made such a positive impression.

The only disappointment was our interaction with the host. Unfortunately, she came across as a bit rude and not very welcoming, which wasn't the best way to start our visit. First impressions matter, and we felt that the greeting could have been much friendlier.

Thankfully, Josue completely turned the experience around with his outstanding customer service. He made us feel welcome, took great care of us, and reminded us what great hospitality looks like. We left happy because of him. Thank you, Josue—you are a huge asset to the restaurant, and we'll definitely be back!

We went to this restaurant to watch a Fifa game and have some Mexican food. Overall experience was pretty poor in my opinion. We ordered guac, grilled octopus and some other rolled type of fried tacos. The rolled tacos we didn’t finish because the taste wasn’t good, too oily and the corn tortilla taste was over powering the food.
The guac was not gully mixed hence a few parts were too salty and some parts lacked taste. Also we found a big chunk of avocado skin in the guac while eating.
The grilled octopus tasted nice but the portion was as much as an appetizer and it was located under the speciality dishes in the menue.
Service was ok, the food got ready fast.

The ambiance and interior also was not great, too noisy and stuffy and dark. It didn’t create a great experience.

The patio looked nice and also they have really famous margaritas that people try but we decided not to try and leave as the experience was throwing us off. Also the price range for the is extremely high in my opinion.

As a level 6 local guide I don’t really recommend this place for food.
