At quick glance it was well lit and seemed proper. The terrace is cute. I took a tortilla soup and a chicken pupusa. The soup was extremely salty that I basically left it almost full. The pupusa was not flavorful at all and even with the salsa and pickles, I was not impressed. I am hoping that this was due to an off-day or something, as the location itself is promising. But otherwise, I will not be coming back, unfortunately.

The lone waiter on this day was nice, though he could have been more aggressive trying to keep people fed and drinking given how few people were there. We mentioned 2 times that we wanted a pitcher of sangria, but he came out with red. It was pretty, and he mixed it at the table. It didn't have much complexity, though, and usually I like my sangria a little booze-ier. There's also currently a 1L Kronbacher beer special for $10. While well-priced, the food was pretty meh. The guacamole ($6) was small and needed more flavor. The tacos were also not very tasty and wet, so the tortilla part broke very easily. Maybe we just didn't order the right stuff. Thankful for the option on that day, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go again.

The clientele we saw tomorrow was of legal drinking age. Had their version of guacamole. Never had cucumber in any I've ever had, before. Maybe, it's Quebecois thing. It wasn't bad; just different. The avocado salmon is garnished with micro greens and edible flowers, it was good. I had chicken enchiladas in an ancho chili sauce, Mexican rice and refried beans, come with a mixed salad in a molded corn tortilla bowl; it's edible too. There was sufficient shredded white meat inside, no sauce though inside the enchilada to moisten it. Since I'm in Canada I had Molson beer. Service was prompt, polite, and professional. It's not over the top Mexican decor. Some wall art. Odd they played bachata music, in a Mexican themed franchised restaurant.

This Resturant have a very good atmosphere family oriented and our server Shanta was very professional he actually give me some suggestions and he was spotted on. Thank you Shanta you have showed me that you're not from Mexico but your representing it like you are. Thank you Shanta you're the best in town. From the host ( which I find out it was the manager later) to the guys the bring the chips with salsa this whole Resturant are amazing.

Decent tasting tacos and burritos! The prices and the portions are great…read more Their burrito is a bit bland sometimes so I definitely recommend getting the tacos instead. It's a nice place to sit and eat. If you don't go at peak hours it's quiet and spacious.

I stopped by Don Taco the other day for a snack. I won't lie, the 3 tacos for $5 sign out front was…read morewhat drew me in. For the price, the tacos were good. I mean really, you can't even get 3 tacos at Taco Bell for $5 and these are better than Taco Bell. So the restaurant is at the back of a bakery/café called Café Desserts Etc. The decor looks like a bakery and not so much a taco joint, but hey whatever. It's the same staff working both places and the menus are combined into one. So the 3 for $5 tacos were the Picadillo tacos the day I went (the cashier had to ask the chef what the special taco was, so not sure if it changes daily, or she was new and didn't know). The tacos were on a corn tortilla (I love corn tortillas! Many Mexican fast food places use flour tortillas, boo!). They were filled with ground beef, potatoes, lettuce and sour cream. There were 3 different hot sauces that you could add to your tacos. I tried all of them and liked the green one the most. The beef itself was minimal and yes, somewhat reminiscent of Taco Bell, but the taco was tastier and much more interesting than a Taco Bell taco. The potatoes added an interesting texture and taste, and the sauce they were cooked in was flavourful. Listen, you're not going to get gourmet tacos for the price. I went in expecting fast food tacos and with such expectations, I was pleased with what I got. Staff were pleasant and the place was clean. I would go back.

When you walk in the restaurant is quite small but they don't let that stop them from setting up a small shop where you can pick up a few items like Mexican candies, hot sauces action figures and more. Once you move past that you get to order so many amazing options from the menu! I started with a tortilla soup, esquites and was already in heaven. For mains we had gotten shrimp tacos (which came in the option of having the battered or grilled) and of course a tamales plate with two different options. Each dish was amazingly tasty and brought so many different flavours. Having recently gotten back from Mexico this was definitely replicating original flavours! You gotta stop in and give yourself the gift of they're menu!

I had our server's recommendations of tacos dorados with beef brisket inside and churros. I also shared some chicharrones as the appetizer and overall everything was good. Met all my expectations. The place was very warm and welcoming, so the whole experience was 8.5/10.

It's so smooth and flavourful. They offer a wide selection of meals in their menu and I plan on trying more. I've had their beef taco, beef burrito, pulled pork taco, and their guacamole but they have nachos, and salads, and quesadillas, etc.. By far their best deal is their 4 tacos for $5 on weekdays. Taco party yeahyeah! Seriously consider trying their pulled pork taco, it's their crown jewel. There are tv's inside too and they play the fifa games so I didn't miss Russia vs Croatia. I had an errand to run nearby but I also didn't want to miss the game. It was during the st-hubert sidewalk sale too so lots of fun all around that day! If only this place wasn't so out of my way!
