The gorgeous hand-painted murals throughout the restaurant create an authentic and inviting dining experience. We enjoyed the Tacorito special, which arrived hot and was absolutely delicious. My partner ordered the four Verde Enchiladas, and while they had a pleasant tanginess, they were packed with good flavor. Located just up the street from Niagara Falls, this restaurant is a perfect stop after a day of sightseeing. We were in Canada celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, and the staff made our afternoon extra special. They surprised us with delicious sangria and a personally signed anniversary card--a thoughtful gesture that meant so much to us. The outstanding food, beautiful ambiance, and genuine hospitality made this the perfect ending to our day in Canada. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Niagara Falls area.

My husband and I decided to give this place a try last night after having looked at the menu and thinking that it sounded really interesting. At around 7:45pm we headed to the restaurant and were seated almost immediately. We were given menus and a drinks menu. We noticed that the restaurant was quite empty, perhaps 30% full. We looked around and saw several servers strolling around. We took a look at the drinks menu and decided that we'd have a couple of cocktails with our appetizers. Then we waited...and waited...and waited. Although many servers walked past us and talked with people at a table only a few feet away, not one person approached us. After almost 15 minutes without even being acknowledged we put our coats on and left. We did tell the host on our way out and he said "oh, sorry" but admittedly we didn't wait to hear what else he had to say as we were fed up. For a new business, which wasn't at all busy and had several servers walking around with nothing to do, I really don't think there was any excuse for this. Had they been busy, then we would of course have understood why someone didn't get to us sooner. We were extremely disappointed and won't be recommending this restaurant.

Luckily, the street it's on had a little less foot traffic and noise, and we were able to sit at a table near the window for some good people watching. We ordered a Mediterranean salad and the Diavolo pizza. Salad was good. The herbed vinaigrette was delicious, but some of the lettuce was wilted or was starting to break down. Tomatoes were refrigerated beforehand and were a little mealy. The Diavolo pizza had olives, peppers, and sausage. The crust was thin and delicious. We ordered ranch to dip our crust in (because we are heathens) and it was definitely something from a bottle. Not that it mattered because, well, it's ranch and pizza crust, but I will rave over house made ranch when I find it. Wine and liquor drinks were reasonably priced and atmosphere was laid back. Our waitress was very attentive. Decor could be updated and bathrooms were old/run down, but overall we were happy with the meal and service.

Overall recommend checking this spot out if you need some food in the area.

Heard of the phrase, don't judge a book by its cover? That is 100% applicable to this place…read more We walked by this place at least 8 times, without noticing it much before going in. Located in the busy touristy area of Niagara across from the big chain restaurants, this place probably gets overlooked a lot because it is small, and looks kind of dingy from the outside with way too much signage so one cannot really sus out what the place has to offer. They have some outdoor seating which we utilized as the inside did seem kind of cramped. Walked in to see the very extensive menu and very reasonable prices. You probably will not find food that tastes this good, generous proportions and not break your bank anywhere in the area of Clifton hill. We got a couple of sandwiches, fries, appetizer & a couple of drinks - all for less than $30. Taking a star as the floors inside the restaurant were very sticky at places and the bathroom was absolutely a hot mess.

This was the first and last time I will ever come to this taco place…read more Nice start to review, don't you think? So we walk in it's not that bad of a looking place inside. They only except credit cards and debit cards, no cash. They are way over priced, and I do mean way over priced. $16 for my three little tacos, which were not even good ,sorry to say. $17 for my son's chicken quesadilla. I took a bite of it and now that was good, not worth $17 but it was good. He should gotten two quesadillas for that price. My other son and my other son's girlfriend both got the homestyle tacos and they looked OK and my son says that he thinks it was almost worth the $15 but still that is really a lot of money for those little normal size tacos. When your food is done, they call your name which you can't even hear it unless you're standing right by the cashier area. So you can't just go and sit down like I was doing, you have to stand right there and wait, which is kind of a pain in the butt ,cause you get in anybody's way who comes there to order some food. Most people are coming in and then leaving, I'm guessing due to the " card only" rule. It wasn't a real comfortable place to be in And like I said, my food was not very good and it was $16 which is pretty crazy for three little tacos. I don't know if the chicken was good or not. I'll find out in a little while. I'm sure. Lol. But no, I will not be returning there.
