Barabacoa tacos and a birria taco plate. Food was really good and served hot which I liked. No free chips and salsa here. The lighting was too bright. I loved the colours in the place and it was clean but I'd love to see dimmer lighting, candles on the tables, salt and pepper as well as hot sauce. Drinks $14 each and tiny. This place is super $$$$. Tacos $6.50 each and 3 birria tacos were $27. I heard the Merivale location is better? And a different menu. I may check out that one. Too bad as Kanata needs more REAL Mexican food!

As there was no sign asking to wait to be seated, we assumed we should seat ourselves at any available table which we did. Waited and waited for a server and menus.

We left, and got a fantastic lunch at another restaurant. I guess the server was having a bad day and took it out on us. We won't be back.

Sometimes in this busy life, that's a fine dinner for $5. I have had a burrito here before which was fine too. I would not hesitate to get anything from here but take out only.

If you are with a bestie or out running errands, this could fit the bill for a quick sit down meal but the lighting is bad and seats are limited. Not a date place! :) A great addition however, to this strip plaza. Generally not cheap for meals and of course the subway style ordering prompts for a tip but I always feel they deserve one.

On a Sunday night, it was not super busy but there were enough people that it didn't feel empty inside. A bit pricy but we also got drinks, and most trendy Mexican restaurants are like this these days. To start, I shared guac & chips - no complaints, we enjoyed and it was very fresh. The added tomatoes were nice. I ordered 3 tacos - the beef barbacoa was fine but the portion of dipping jus was tiny for 3 beef tacos. The best taco for me was the tuna tartare crispy taco. Loved the flavours and the fish was just delicious! My friends had the chicken tacos and said they were spicy but they liked them a lot. However, I did not enjoy the ox tongue taco and didn't finish it. I ordered it because all the reviews about it were so positive, but I didn't like how they just put two huge pieces of meat in a taco. It tasted very gamey and I didn't like the spongy texture either. The piña colada cocktail was yummy - I could taste fresh pineapple and it was very creamy.
